There are quite a few strats for ports, FI, FF. Look at the strat central sticky and look for port strats there. Also, swingers strat is in the main strat central. Watch a few recs and develop several tactics against different situations.

in my opinion there is no best tactic to use as the portugese. They have many options available to them that can change depending on where they place their towncenter(s). They can turtle up well for a FI, placing there towncenters together or can go for map control with a rush or FF by placing their towncenter in a more agressive position.
Overall in my opinion they are the most versile civilization. However the lack of substantial cannons in the third age is a killer for me....

^^ agreed thats what put me off ports for so long but l8ly i havent been using cannon so heavily as i used to so maybe it's not such a bad thing, although in a stalemate its a real pain the arse.

FF, go for heavy boom while sending cassa and mamelukes. After that go for muskheavy army and send some eco/musks (i.e millgathercardscards, advanced arsenal, infantryhitpoints), try to get to age4 asap so u can get the heavycannon/musks combination.

Thanks guys.
My plan so far is to have mass muskets whilst having 3-4 tc in my turtle base and another in a forward possision. Then getting heavy cannons and more mass muskets also a few cassadors, and going from there.
