This is simply to determine whether the follow up poll, regarding war with either the Americans or Russians should be followed.

Most definitely.

Yes, but not right now... We need a building age.

The AI is going to enter the industrial age very soon. We cannot build for long if we want to do this.

I dont believe we need a very long building age, considering we have already been in one for a while. Also I was thinking our 'Industrial Age'. But hey, I still think a compromise between passivist and warmongers is possible!

I do not want a war, I want peaceful building up until the advent to the cavalry.

The advent of the industrial age refers to whenever whatever civ we are attacking gets nationalism, as this will make the war much more costly.

Yes, we absolutely must fight another war before the industrial age. We have to stay on the offensive or risk losing the initiative - something we cannot afford to do at this level of play.

As it seems that foe from the other poll would be Russia, I voted yes on this one. As long as we end the war after we collect 2-3 Russian cities.

In the future, once we have upgraded many of our knights to cavalry, we should then act fast against America before they get their riflemen. It will be a glorious way to start off our Industrial Age.

The plans have changed. We got our war, but our enemy chose us! It is neither Russia, Babylon, nor America, but India! (which, ironically, I was sort of looking at...)

As a new citizen taking a first glance at the strategic situation on the southern frontier, pushing the border out 4 squares (or one row of cities) would be greatly beneficial without burning an enormous amount of resources and time. The Russian and American frontiers seem unrewarding in comparison.

We must fight America and gain control of the 'Northern Passage' were most of our enemies seem to like to pass. Just like the Indian people. Get all of the enemy units out of our teritory and kill them if they refuse.

Hmmm . . . I must study the terrain a bit. But with resources now committed to the west, a couple of military colonies and a stronger border patrol could secure this frontier and resolve most of the issues of trespass, as well.

(two settlers and a few explorers, actually)
