It seems that continent maps is much more difficult than terra maps or any other maps where all civs start on the same landmass.
It seems very easy to win dom/conq on small terra maps on emperor with the same setting.
On small continents maps you typically start on the same continent as 1 or rarely 2 civs or more rarely, alone.
The problem as I see It is that to be successfull on emperor you need to capture an enemy capital early. If you only have one neighbor, that means war with youre only techtrade partner until caravels. That puts you back techwise.
After you have conq. youre continent you have to wait until you can build an invasion fleet to continue war. That means a bunch of galleons and most often you have to wait until transports/destroyers/infantry to have an effective invasion army againt the more advanced AI. That gives the AI time to "runaway" and if one civ have a couple of vassals its powergraph has maybe gone crazy and you have a rough time succeding in any invasion attempt. Or maybe some civ on the other cont. is already building spaceship parts at the time youre invasion army is ready.
