Battle tactics
Overall Strategy
New spain is the biggest threat, Destroying them is impossible if they keep havanna, but dont let them have a stranglehold . Alternatively, Just ally with them and gift them one of your cities (Preferably a eastern one, So they can fight off new england when it arrives) and let them help you. Or at least not bother you as much . Overall you should expand northwards. Try and retaliate quickly against the tlaxcalans and chichimecs. Then you can take your time. You are technically the strongest starting empire, and can swallows them up if they dont all attack you at once.
Sacrifice
A unit can be sacrificed in place of disbanding, or prisoners can be executed and sacrificed. Or Sacrifices can be held in cities . You can also convert a little by exterminating Sacrificing(disband) a unit usually offers 3% Conversion
Sacrificing (executre prisoners) a general offers
1% conversion
Sacrificing a faction elader offers 3% conversion
holding sacrifices offers 1% conversion
