Hi guys. I have a dilemma and would like a little advice.
I am playing on a continents map with domination and cultural victories enabled. I am playing as Ethiopia against America, the Zulus plus a few others. I am currently sharing a continent with just America and we are good friends and trading well. The problem is that Washington is expanding incredibly well and starting to accelerate away in general score compared to me. He definitely needs to be stopped and I do have the edge on the military as we are roughly equal in quantities but I have researched dynamite and built a few artillery units. I was just setting said units in place for a surprise attack when Shaka started to turn ugly (there's a surprise). He is hostile, insulting me and demanding tribute from my city state allies. Also he has a large army. Should I.....
A) Attack America anyway and damage him enough to stop his growing threat.
B) Send my units back to defend my coastal cities as an attack from Shaka is likely.
C) Build a naval fleet and hunt Shaka down as he is really grating on me now. His score is also decent.
Thanks in advance for any tips and advice.
