I haven't been to the new world yet (I play 1 year per turn) and I would be really curious to see if you can send a crusade there like one of the previous posters said.

When you can build Carracks, you need to manually move your ship into the Fog of War. It will slowly recede. It takes a LONG time to cross the ocean with a ship though. Make sure to load 2 or 3 with Archers and Cavalry, because you can only build limited units in the New World, most will need to come from Europe, and having to make more than 1 round trip will get VERY irritating.

And, as for the Crusade question, I haven't tried it myself, but people have suggested getting the pope to call a Crusade on the Aztec cities so your ships get a movment bonus for crossing the ocean. I couldn't call one, because there was one in progress to Antioch and the Spanish had a Crusade army sitting in a ship off their coast... not moving it... so the Crusade wouldn't end.

You need to move your ships slowly, like one square at a time, until they run out of movement for that turn, because the deep ocean won't accept movement orders into the fog of war for some reason.
