as for marthras i can only suggest taking out their bigger cities, and perhaps hunting their armies and navies down. im not sure how prestige works but i would think population and army and navy size would be large factors, u cant hurt the technology prestige. take a few big cities (ill post a few examples when i get home from work if u want) cos if u take a couple of 10-20 mill pop cities there overall pop will crash, and taking out their armies and navies should take that down a notch or 2. rather than blitz just lead tactical strikes against specific targets

oh block their trade routes so they lose trade prestige?

Tactical strikes is what I'm thinking about.

I'm going to have two veteran stacks and one nice big naval stack free to reek havoc in about 2 years. The plan is to send them to England and Martha Conf and blow the crap out of something.

The question is what should it be?

I've got a moral dilemma about doing anything to GB as they have been such a great trading partner for so many years...and I do trade with them also...a lot. The Martha Conf I have no contact with so that will be my main area of attack as it will not affect my trade. If I do anything to GB I'll lose about 2600 units of trade. For both of us. The idea I had was to reduce Martha while at the same time increasing my Prestige to pip the British in the final years.
