espionage +diplomacy can be a really good combination, no need to win wars, just pay the rebel that want rejoin your country after there territory are conquered
this way you get back your territory, and large army whit it, and you can also make conquered nation revolt, then try to vasalize them (they love you you freed them)
and diplomatically assimilate them, its a much more insidious way to conquer the world, if you got good idea (like economics and trade) you will get good income
and be able to conquer world, one rebellion at time
