Just raze them. We have to win by conquest, so the answer is to raze them, really.
Don't waste too many turns pillaging, if we have enough troops to just blaze a city.
Good turns, not as I would've played it, but still good.

Here is the save.
I continued the assault on the Romans, but I did sub par turns.
I was a bit brash, and probably would have gotten better results going a bit slower, suffering less loss.
(Though the going was tough, I lose 6-7 cavalries just on the start IBT, before I could do anything
)
I razed something like 6-7 cities.
The Romans still have cities but they are basically broken.
They do very few counter attacks.
I would do some careful razing, to start building up forces for the French Assault.
The game is definetly finished, but the moping up will still take some time.
(There is a galleon ready to be loaded with some units for the small island).

)Yeah but some heavy initial assault cost me more troops than I expected, and slowed down the rest of my turns.
Of course we still win, but we DO want to wrap this up no ?
So its just advice for the next player : finish mopping up romans up north , for start slowing down the South Progression to mass up a big army for the French.

Not much to report, except that it took 6 turns to take out the 6 Roman cities on the northern part of the continent. Much because of the expanded borders. I took the choke in the middle early and the going is getting slower as troops needs to heal and lots of enemies, especially french keep on coming.
Keep some cavs at home, lots of boats are around and a few landings as well. Some French frigates and galleons are near Hamburg. I set up a landing zone for them.
I set up something that looks like a force, but unfortunately French built a city next to where I have the pile. Next player choose how to proceed, I don't think it's wise to throw units away on chance, we can't really afford it.

@lulthyme, if t3h_m013 post today please swap with me. I'll be out all morning and will be working on Ank11 this evening. If I don't see a "got it" I will be able to pick it up on Sunday.
1655AD raze the new french city, leave stack on the mountain until next turn so cannons can move with it.
french dropped a farily large landing next to hamburg. biggest AI landing i think ive ever seen. was abotu 4 cavs, 2 guerillas, 3 rifles, 2 muskets and a LB. didn't destroy it by any means, but weakened it and will hopefully finish it off next turn or the turn after. MM konigsburg to prevent riot.
1660AD Raze the scandinavian city (forgottent he name) and move the stack towards reykjavik. get a leader finishing off the french landing
1665AD move stack next to reykjavik. Troop movement here and there. nt much.
1670AD raze reykjavik (scandinavian capital. they are down to 1 city.)
1675AD stack ehads for besancon. troop movement etc.
1680AD same sorta stuff, no attacks on cities
1685AD stack moves next to besancon. will attack next turn.
1690AD attack besancon. The french have arty :S raze besancon with 2 losses... the arty was destroyed, didn't know you cant take units too advanced for you.
will heal troops before moving on.
ibt: rome land a rifle and cav in our land
1695AD have more trouble than i shouldve killing the rifle etc. but deal with it. move healed half of stack towards orleans.

Turn 0 1700 AD
Well, it looks like the recipe calls for 2 parts cavalry with a side order of cavalry and a can of whoopass.
France has electricity. Has anyone seen and infantry?
Hmmm, found a French galleon and four frigates off our coast. And the Romans have the same configuration, time three, off the opposite eastern side.

Tracking down settlers is such an enormously anti-climatic ending to a game.
