Better navigation (especially early periods). Better selection of certain goods needed by colonies (from their large trade network) like medicines. They were known for having very good fortifications and tenacity in defending them.

ok here's an idea:

Portuguese
+25% ship movement
-25% stockade/fort/fortress cost
+20% building cost (hammers only) in non-coastal settlements

Spain
only half damage taken to own units when attacking indian settlement
+25% loot from indian settlements

English
+50% crosses

French
+30% less bad relations to indians (over time, when taking land, attacking etc)
+25% more converts from missions
indian scouts recruitable in settlements

Dutch
+25% profit when selling goods in europe

some unique units possibilities:
english - minuteman replaces militia. Redcoats (maybe thats tories?)
dutch - fluyt replaces caravel (strange?)
french - cheaper missioneries, voltigeur (sniper/skirmisher musketeers)
spanish - conquistadores maybe, tercio, rodelero
portugeuse - Jinite dragoons? Dont know...

portuguese settlements
São Vicente
Porto Seguro
São Paulo
Pernambuco
Salvador
Rio de Janeiro
Eleven Thousand Virgins
