some hints:
head straight down on the very left side of Africa to Timbuktu and start merchanting slaves and ivory and take the settlement as well
the Spanish settlements to the North will be quite difficult to take (I learned this the hard way) because they apparently have superior heavy forces than you so concentrate on making money first and allying yourself with Spain and Portugal (temp of course) and try to take as many African settlements as possible and then when you're strong enough, hit either Spain or Portugal

Plan didn't go as I thought at all.
Milan betrayed me. I captured one of their cities, they captured one of mines (the northern island city) and they offered ceasefire.
Bastard Pope blocked my ports. So I invaded his land. Captured Florence...they recaptured. Captured Rome...new capital. Pope was in the city so he got killed.
I took the city underneath Rome...new pope was there...got killed LOL. They later took the other city though.
Trying to take back Florence.
Egypt is mad strong in this for some reason. Turks is their vassal.

Eliminated England and Scotland. Having a fierce war with Pope. France soon attacked. I attacked them, took a couple of my cities. They took my city of Zargoza. Denmark keeps on sending troops to my Island that was formerly known as the English Isles...now Moorish Isles:
