Portuguese idea: Free Feudal armour upgrades

Idea for Portuguese bonus:

• Free Padded Archer Armour, Scale Barding Armour, and Scale Mail Armour (blacksmith required)

The Portuguese are notorious for having few bonuses on land maps, especially in 1v1s:

1. units cost 15% less gold

2. the Feitoria is available in imp

3. free carto in dark age (not applicable in 1v1s; carto is free in HD - you just need a market)

The Feitoria shouldn't really be on the list because most of the time it is not cost effective (unless you need it for BBTs), furthermore it's only available in imp.

The Portuguese have a broad tech tree having access to all techs and units (appropriate to their civilisation type), except for gold shaft mining (which is understandable given they already get a decent discount) and squires. However, because their eco bonus "kicks in" later than other civs (e.g. celts, mongols etc.) they can't easily afford to tech switch - they have to do all they can to keep up!

Hence free feudal armour upgrades. This makes tech switching a little easier, while not being broken (imo). It is unlikely that you will field different units which use all three armour upgrades in feudal. This means that the benefit of one or two of the free upgrades won't be used, or, at least, will only be used later (when the impact of them being free is lessened). e.g. drush fc knights wouldn't benefit greatly from the free archer armour; while, feudal archer aggression wouldn't benefit much from the infantry armour (except maybe on some spears at home) or the cavalry armour (except on the initial scout, which is nice, but it is just one unit).
