First off - greetings, salutations, and thanks go out to this community of Civ players.
I've recently stepped up to Immortal and typically play fractal or continents. With Domination I often find myself struggling with the late-game / 2nd continent conquest. Science moves so fast at this stage, so if I launch an invasion fleet with rifleman/cavalry with artillery (pre-destroyers) it can be difficult to secure a beachhead, from which I upgrade my units and then roll on.
I've found that using gold to secure a CS ally and then invading through its territory is the path of least resistance, but I'm curious...
How do you invade the 2nd continent? What is most efficient, fun?
As I get better I expect I will have a suitable navy to accompany my land units, but I'm not at that stage yet. I still have to land my units before the onslaught.
