I should be able to play this tomorrow night. I did get a moment or two to look at the save. There are some potentially great trade opportunities, if only we could trade gpt. 
There is no gunpowder on our island as Balastulin pointed out, but there is a source just to off our Eastern peninsula in the borders of the Viking city of Farsund. And there is one not claimed on Easter Island! I'll try and get a settler there asap.
As for the battle plans. Well, all other targets are out as we are trading with everybody. For some reason we are giving horses to the Portuguese for 18 more turns. Maybe we picked up a tech or maps? But man, if we couldn't fight the Dutch I would have loved to kick the Portuguese off our island. So on with the Dutch. I think they know because they are furious with us. I doubt we'll be able to take more than a couple of cities. They are going to be really tough. And we only have 5 trebs. Ouch. Well, tomorrow night I guess I'll figure something out. Maybe I can at least take Utrecht, their gunpowder city...

With Balastulin shaking off an AFL induced drunken haze to build up the Korean navy, SpikeIt steps in recovering from a bit of a jungle flu bug. Should be another coherent set of turns.
Take a look around. English and Dutch up Printing Press, Music Theory, and Banking. Spain up Music Theory and Banking, Vikings up Banking. If only we could trade gpt
...
English and the hated Dutch have saltpeter. Spain has some in its borders. Vikings too, flaunting us in close by Farsund just off the eastern peninsula of our great continent.
But what is that! Good ol' Easter Island! Just outside of Alesund. And we already have the harbor in Taegu. We need a settler! The Koreans must dominate and to dominate we need saltpeter!
Army is, uh, getting there. Dutch saltpeter is in Utrecht. Dutch have SunTzu and Leo's. We just don't have the army to go much farther than a Dutch city or two.
Wang is not happy with the Dutch, but the Portuguese on our continent really irritates him... too bad we have some deal sending over horses for nothing for 18 turns...

Bombardment again only gets two hits. There are at least 3 Swiss Merc in Groningen. The next player can decide whether to attack this turn or hold for more bombardment.
There are another couple trebs in a caravel off our coast ready to deploy.
Okay, so here is the situation. We have a large contingent of troops on the Dutch mainland. We will take high casualties when we attack unless we have some success at bombardment. A Swiss Merc will should set off the Dutch GA.
We are tops in tech. We'll have gunpowder connected in 2 turns. Magellans Voyage is due in 2, and our FP is due in 3. We have one ship off the coast of Utrecht, which is the Dutch gunpowder city. Send more troops there to knock that out.
Also, in 8 turns our gift of horses to Portugal is up. End that deal unless we can get something of value for them.

How much does it cost to upgrade a knight to a cav?
Since we just captured Sun Tzu's, our new cities on the dutch land will have barracks. Mil. Trad. is in three turns, and we are making 184 gpt.
Is it feasible to upgrade all those knights in our SOD to cavs or would it be better to beat on the dutch while they are down with our knights?
All depends on the upgrade from knights to cavs.

Upgrading Knights to Cavalries are pretty cheap. 30 gold per Knight, and we're filthy rich, so we won't have problem upgrading them. We'll be getting the Military Tradition in 3 turns.

Great job ShogunTaka. I knew you would take the bait and finish off Groningen. And you caught that settler I had primed up on Maastricht. Nice. Great trading too. We're actually starting to get a little gpt for techs. Cool.
The losses were pretty much what we expected. At least we have those Hwachas now. And Cavalry will help to finish off the Dutch. Definitely upgrade our knights. With Cavalry and Hwachas, we should be able to dominate the world.
But I have to ask? Military Tradition?
Wang Kon would want Ironclads afterall. Not stinkin' cavalry! We shall dominate by controlling the seas! We have our Lighthouse. We have Magellans. Now on to Ironclads and then full steam toward Combustion! With haste!
Oh, and let's pick our next target... Portugal anybody?
