- Pacal capped after I took two cities with rifle/cannon/grenadier. I decided to use grens again since I knew I'd be seeing lots of rifles vs GK.
- I've heard that intercontinental wars are tedius but I don't mind them. What I did was queue up about 5 galleons (maybe a bit more) in each of my two western cities. Since I was kremlin rush buying, it was a simple matter to purchase them alongside other units. Then, simply waypoint to coastal city nearest the target and load up units in bulk. Nice and simple. One trick I did do: I was in theocracy so I threw a drydock in each coastal city. With navigation 1 + circumnavigation (map trade), it is possible to reach Sury's shore and unload your units 3 turns after loading them even with galleons.
- Sury was just outside of reaching assembly line, but I landed on his capitol and eviscerated it taking very little losses with CR II cannon and combat II rifles/grens. He capitulated shortly after.
- Everybody else on the continent was GK or GK's vassal
. I nevertheless opted to go for him rather than Wang's protective infantry, further because I'd have to invade this side of the world to win diplomation or military anyway. GK had rifles but not even education yet, so he was a long, long way from infantry. Unfortunately he got to machine guns early, but I can live with that.
- I declared on GK and had to fight a good 70+ units. Fortunately, I got to bait them into a sury city repeatedly after beating down hannibal while waiting for him to take it (hannibal had infantry, but only 3 cities in one spot, one further up, and an off-continent, basically nothing). After sury, every city I captured on this continent became a COLONY (Elizabeth), allowing me to functionally garrison cities with nothing and not have to deal with them. GK's stack was actually out of the city by the time I got back, so I put up a large # of bombard promoted cannon and then murdered his stack with basically no WW penalty. The war lasted quite some time after that, but it was functionally over right then.
- Some later tricks: I used AP (I chopped it out in Ulundi after siphoning it from Shaka via tech trade) to force Wang to DoW on GK
. I also grabbed karakorum, and then because Frederick feared my enemies I took a cease fire, took Fred as a vassal, then immediately declared war again
. At this point GK was screwed. Fred had infantry, and thanks to
and many vassal trade abuse I'd brokered my way to infantry + metal navy. Unable to replenish a SoD to handle my swelling #'s of gren/cannon/rifle and now infantry, GK eventually go rolled by a 3 way stack split. Heck, even Fred nicked one of his cities back.
- It's late and I didn't want to slog through an easy but lengthy war fighting WK with infantry/arty and/or nukes (had vassals researching nukes, could easily purchase fission using another tech and then broker fission for rocketry), but I work tomorrow so I just rush bought UN and voted myself winner instead.
.
Another problem with videos of this type of map is launching an overseas invasion correctly takes time. And of course turns are taking longer at this point because there's more of everything. So I usually rush that and pay for it 
.

would be better for this strategy than three corns... 
In any case this set of videos should at the very least be entertaining.
