Well, you should try to figure out as much as possible where are every position of a player.
First most player use snapshops ( picture of the map each turn). So that you can check positions you could see earlier in the game.
Also, in some map, let's say for example world 2.1, there is often players taking bonuses. By checking on the log how many troops they receive, and your own knowledge of the map, it is most of the time possible to figure out which bonus they have, and therefore you are able to locate at once several territories of those player, or you can be sure if someone has USA bonus for example, that no regions of another player are in USA, so don't go look there.
If you can, try to block one spot, still speaking of world 2.1, you can put a stack in front of Madagascar, so that no one can eliminate the player that has Madagascar, there is several spot like that on the world 2.1 map.
Most of the time, if you figure out let's say 8/9 territory of a player, it kind be worth a try to start keep looking.
Of course there is a big part of luck. Sometimes someone will try to eliminate a player, fail, and you'll have the remaining territory of the targeted player next to you and eliminate him. That's part of the game.
