Organ Gun: Artillery that fires multiple projectiles. Unique units Cassador: Skirmisher with low hitpoints, but a strong attack.

The Portuguese also have a strong navy, ranged infantry, possess the best all around Dragoons in the game ( Spanish unction dragoons hit harder but have fewer hit points) and the combat cards their units get in the Industrial Age can make them quite powerful and difficult to beat in longer games. Since the Portuguese receive these Town Centers for free every age, their economy typically becomes stronger as the maximum settler output increases dramatically. However, they do not have any Settler cards in their decks because of the extra Covered Wagons they receive every time they advance in age. They do begin with one Settler more than any other civilization, for a total of 7. The Portuguese are one of the more difficult civilizations to play in Age of Empires III due to its relatively slow start.
