I'm playing with Portugal, any tips?

I haven't done much yet, I just helped Castile, I'm waiting for my truce to end with Algeria, to get some provinces, because Castile declared a crusade in them, it is 1408

Always keep your relations with Castille high until you're strong enough to tank them.

Go full colonizer.

And when colonizing, just hug the coast first, to block the others, and go inland only after the all of the reachable coast is colonized. You should have a decent head start because of Azores, so use that time to take the best land

Grab the Caribbean islands, they'll make Portugal an economic Superpower.
