Portuguese Balance Discussion

Remove the min range for the Elite version and buff the accuracy should be enough for Organ Gun. Squires should be included in Portuguese tech tree. Some stronger civs (eg. Chinese, Mongols, Berbers) should lose Squire instead of Portuguese. Arquebus should improve the projectile speed of all gunpowder units by certain percentage.

Stone-free outpost can be quite powerful against early aggression civs. It provides additional info besides the scout. You can know how many gold miners your opponents have and production of military units, hence predict the time of the aggression. Perhaps give Portuguese squires, organ gun and arquebus buff first and observe if they really need further buff.
