Darth Tribble
Friendly Neighborhood Conqueror
I am Ethiopia in my current game and I am aiming towards a diplomatic victory with science as a backup.
My ideology is Order and managed to make it the world ideology along with Sikhism as the world religion. Japan borders me and is also Sikh, but runs autocracy. Portugal, Aztecs, and Ottomans are running Order.
I am technically friendly with Venice, but he keeps stealing my CS alliances and Monty keeps asking me to join him in a war against Venice. I plan to say yes to please Monty and hopefully improve relations further since we have the same ideology, but not actually fight Venice since they are on another continent. By going to war, would I get the warmonger penalty, or is that only when I attack cities?
Also, Japan has a DOF with Venice and I have been best friends with Japan for most of the game. He hasn't shown aggression towards me the entire game but lately has warned me not to get too close to the Ottomans. Japan and Venice are also friends with Egypt, who is guarded towards me because I killed Spain earlier in the game so I could have a coastal city for which I could launch my exploration of the world. I have another coastal city I built myself, but it is blocked by ice tiles.
Is war with Venice a good move?
