I found that building my first base on Jin island doesn't work because you need gold and there isn't any available there. Also, there isn't really enough room for your buildings.

I built my main base in the northern part of the map, in between the gold and stone deposits to the south of my starting location. To take care of Jin's wonder, I moved units, including several Rams, and a Villager over to Jin island (had to build a Dock for the second body of water) and built a Castle (with Murder Holes) outside Jin's northern gate. The Castle should start firing at the gate, but if it's too far away, build a Guard Tower closer to the gate, which should do it and further serve as a meat shield. The Castle and the other units you brought over should be able to mop up Jin's units (especially the Cavaliers, which will be tougher than your units), leaving your Rams to go in and wreck the Wonder unmolested... except for archers, but they take forever to kill the Rams, so it's all good.

Once that's done, build up your army in the main base and take out the other nations one by one. Then bring your army back to the Castle on Jin Island, which should still be there, and take out Jin. The Bombard Cannons you find in the western edge of the Tangut base were a huge help, by the way, so keep a Villager around to repair them, since they aren't considered biological and Monks won't heal them.
