Been having more success than failure with England atm by ignoring Scotland and Ireland [Ipswich-Lancaster-Bristol}. Sending an archer and your knight to Byzantium and stealing Athens when you can gives you a spring board to Egypt early. This seems to pay off better than cleaning up the British Isles. I've also been researching the lower half of the tree and trading from the Turks/Norse everything as soon as they offer it, Hitting the renaissance via Heritage then chasing Exploration. Academia, Economics in that order gets me into the Carribbean ¬1420 which regularly beats france so you get to take basse-terre and Dominican Republic(on the Amber is my preferred site, and bonus points if you teleport French settlers for Port-au-Prince) Don't hit the trading company until I have Ballistics. and need your fleet in asia to move the armies together quickly. the Mughal artillery will kill you unless you hit their huge stack with every unit that spawns FIRST. 2 stacks doesn't cut it need all three. (it's much easier if the French collapsed the mughals, Indies or Indians get massacred)
