Relevant information might be:
Size of a continent; yours/others/empty ones.
Location of opponents; on your island or not/close to you or not.
Big continents are harder to conquer <u>and hold</u>. I always prefer to attack a small island of someone else, because once I have it, it's completely mine and others will have much trouble getting it (back). At least, this is my experience.
And location should be obvious: if you see a Spanish caravel sailing at your south coast, but you've read the Spanish are above you: you have an advantage; at least, when you're planning to conquer.
Though it might be better just not to read those spoiler topics, don't take it too harsh.
