To do:
1. Declare war on India, Ethiopia, China and Mongolia and complete the conquest. We can't declare on India for 5 more turns though.
We have troops waiting adjacent to every Indian city (including all the ones that were liberated to India). India is mostly just building Culture in these cities, although one or two cities in Japan are starting to build a defensive unit.
We have troops waiting to the north and south of Ethiopia and bombers in Mecca. Ethiopia is relatively backwards and are vassalized to China, so DoW Ethiopia also means DoW China.
We have plenty of troops in Khmer lands that could soon attack China although some need to heal a bit first. We have a range of fighters and bombers based to the south and east of China. China is easily the biggest power left and we may want to build a couple of nukes (after we learn Rocketry in 3 turns) before we attack China.
We have limited troops to the north of Mongolia, probably we should wait to attack Mongolia last.
2. Build more troops only if absolutely necessary and certainly no more boats or planes. New troops can be airlifted from most of our biggest cities to the Far East now that we have Airports. Don't forget that we have many cities building Wealth at the moment to keep our Science up at 100% though, so changing away from Wealth will slow down our tech pace towards nukes.
3. If we need to liberate any further cities, Khmer is willing to accept most of our former Japanese locations and will also accept Chinese cities and the southern Indian city (once we have captured these). America will accept any North American city, but we should only consider liberating Vancouver and Vinland (once we retake them from India). Germany will only accept London and Paris - DON'T liberate these).
Disappointingly, Spain will not accept any of the former Incan cities (currently Indian controlled). I don't know exactly why this is the case, but perhaps it is related to the fact that Spain is prepared to liberate Buenos Aires to us in the trade screen - which may indicate that Turkish culture in this city may be preventing Spainish culture from reaching Incan lands?
4. Look out to avoid a Domination Victory on the path to Conquest Victory. Check the F8 screen often. The % land area required from Domination increases as the number of civs remaining decreases. This means that it is best to eradicate one civ entirely before turning to attack another. We currently have 29.32% of land area and Domination threshold is at 38%. But this margin needs constant attention.
5. Enjoy the battles! There is an unused Great General in one of our Japanese cities, use as you see fit. It may well be possible to complete our Conquest Victory within the next 10 turns.
