This video is a small guide on how to get to America. It is easy to get to America; you just need to...waste A lot of "Turn."
========================================================
Step 1) Make sure that a city/castle near the ocean/sea is a Citadel (castle) or a Huge City (city/village). Also read all the steps and the notes at the bottom.
Step 2) In the meantime, make sure a city/castle near the ocean/sea has the latest upgraded Dock. Which would be a Dockyard.
Step 3) While doing Step 1 & 2, keep on playing til you reach "Turn" 140 - 180ish
Step 4) Once you encounter the "World is Round" event, upgrade your Dockyard to a Naval Drydock (I usually call this Naval Dockyard).
Step 5) Build a Carrack [Muslim/Islam factions - Instead of Carrack, is it called a Baghlah].
Step 6) Travel straight to North America [by heading to the left. You can't waypoint straight to America/Black fog of war, so the ships have to move in little by little].
========================================================
Note: Only the latest ships "Carrack/Baghlah/Grand Carrack/Caravel" can travel to America.
Note: You might encounter certain events on different "Turn." For example, three players encountered "Gunpowder Discovered" event on turn 70, 75, 76. Not on the same turn, but you can see that they are close.
