As I see that Spanish navy was not that big I thought.
Some ideas:
Spanish seatraffic is now down. Maybe there are some treasures waiting for transportation in treasureproduction towns....
We should try attack those towns instead of invading Greenland. Best and nearest variants are IMHO Cartagena (has 2 different resource.), and Sao Vincenta in Africa as goldtown (treasure after every five turns).

I suppose Spanish treasure is Spanish treasure, no matter how we get it. I know that Blackbeard pillaged Kingston Jamacia on at least one occasion, so we'll be historically correct at least.

Pre-sail 1600 AD VP status: Spain 27085, England 18460 Were cutting this close. There are some unmoved units.
Move our fleet at St. Augustine (which is really on the south end of Greenland) into neutral waters.
Check out Admiral Texs fleet deployment. Hopefully the musket on the saltpeter can hold. One of the cannon on the salt hasnt been fired so I wound a nearby LB. Tex has several MDI in the works. Ill need something to transport them with, change York to a galleon.
Notice that missionaries are now available. Research them.
Plymouth is very unhappy. Hire two clowns there. We have 15 specialists. Experiment time. Increasing lux by 10% ends up costing us 24gpt, but we speed three builds. I think I leave that.
IBT SD sinks a Dutch pirate and a Spanish pirate. Our musket outside Madrid kills three LB before succumbing to an LB. Two Spanish galleons leave America for the Spanish Main.

2. 1602 AD The Spanish fleet consists of one unescorted galleon, and an caravel escorted by an MoW. Wake up the fleets and bombard. Our Seadog sinks the caravel and captures the Conquistador and LB inside. The MoW is enslaved. A third SD enslaves the galleon with a LB onboard.
A third fleet (three MoW & galleon) is now in view east of Madeira. Hopefully I can snag it.
I think those units I enslaved are carrying treasure since they are red.
IBT Dutch and Aztecs ally against Portugal.
The new Spanish fleet sails past Oporto and Lisbon heading towards the Bay of Biscay
An unescorted galleon appears.
3. 1603 AD Return one of the treasures to our capitol. Bombard the MoW down using Admiral Bedes formula. But lose two SD to the Galleon. Enslave the unescorted galleon to capture two units and their treasure. One SD sinks two of the MoW. A single SD sinks the remaining MoW and enslaves the Galleon and captures one treasure.

I tried to look back on the last three turn logs to find out how we stand on the treasure ratio. It appears that at the end of Bede's turns we were at 3 Spanish/3 English. Pokiste didn't get any, but set up Tex. Tex got some back, but I'm not sure how many. It sounds like at least one English treasure got back.
After re-reading Tex's log, I should have produced more Marines, We could probably capture a Spanish treasure or two at Panama City. That would put us over the top. There are at least five defenders, having watched the Iroquois' attempts to take the island. No telling how many missionaries. We have a few in the New World you could bring along.

I returned a Spanish and a native treasure to keep things even. We had several more native treasures sitting around but I did not move those since I did not see another Spanish treasure.
The Dutch are also returning treasure from North America and Africa.
It is also time to monitor the Single City Culture. The Mayan capital has ahead during my turns but I think they were still under 3000. We may need to land our marines there if it gets to close.

So we have five more Spanish treasures than English treasures. There are six on their way to England. We won't want to use them all.

So we just need to capture one more Spanish treasure. I think the only way we may get that is by force since the Spanish navy has been decimated. Panama City will be a prime location for treasure hunting.

The Admiral is in his cabin studying his maps, his only recreation. The Spanish appear to have six treasure producing colonies. The Spanish treasure sources are Panama CIty and Tortuga (tobacco), Veracruz (spices), Bolivar (gems), all in South America or the Caribbean, then, in Africa, Xilotapec in Angola (gems), San Vicente in the Bight of Benin (gold).
Search as he might through the reports of 40 ship captains spread across the Atlantic he finds report of only one Spanish vessel afloat, a galleon lurking in the Bight of Benin. She no longer lacks iron but is still short of saltpeter for building MenoWar and cannons and muskets.
The Admiral writes orders to the Royal Shipyards to finish their current projects, now, then stand down the shipwirghts and train lobsterbacks for landings in the Caribbean and Africa.

The Dutch bombard Protugal's African outpost at St Helena.
The Spanish galleon at the Bight sails into San Vicente.
The French King comes to the Queen asking that we pay them for an alliance against the Spanish. She despises his temerity and is angered by the affront. She demands tribute of 4gpt to continue in the alliance.
Bring the Inca, Maya and Aztecs to war with the Spanish by teaching them how to count money.
Prepare a force for the invasionof Panama City at Jamestown. MoW at the Bight dsvocers three Spanish pike guarding treasure and about to load on a galleon in a cove. Sea dogs and MoW blockade the cove. Sao Vincente and Freetown are have no visible defenders.
A Spanish Conquistador gallops up at Sao Vincente and the pikes and galleon move there.
