You'll be surprised as Denmark that you're already in a good position to conquer Britain on turn 1 with your three berserkers (supported by the two in your cities following up) and boat.

The Great Zimbabwe. Even when I've tried.

Once one has reached the number of cities you wanted, how much military should one keep?
