We're about to swiftly take out the Egyptian colonies in a brief war. Just what do we want to do next?
Here's the Situation:
1 - The Aztecs are at war with the Iroquois as far as I can see in the map. That means, 1/2 the other continent will be Aztec.
2 - The Persians are *HUGE*, and could easily wipe out the Zulus. Their 64gpt that they're willing to trade us (and they're not even commercial, and don't even have rails!) should be a testament to that!
Persia will be a major science competitor in the modern era, even a culture competitor. Persia does much better with culture in the long run if you let them grow too large. We need to start getting more land. (Babylon always seems to be pinned in by other civs for some reason).
1 - Babylon. Wiping them out will reduce the culture threat on our continent. It will also give us control of the lake, and some decent FP core cities.
2 - Russia. They're weak as it is, and will give us the eastern half of our FP cities. Conquering them will give us a border with Germany, however.
3 - India. They are non-agressive, and are bound to have a small military. We'd have to defeat Babylon, or defeat Russia and take the "long way around".
4 - Germany. They're on the edge of our continent, but are huge. They pose no immediate threat yet.
5 - Egypt. They on their own island, and have some culture threat. We will need lots of galleys (or caravels!) to attack them.
6 - Greece. Like Egypt, they on the other island. Our knights can deal with their hoplites though, but Cavalry might be better.
7 - England. Only accessable via caravels. We might let them stick around for awhile.
Other continent (inaccesable right now)
8 - Persia. The most powerful civ so far. We wouldn't stand a chance taking their cities just yet.
9 - Zulus. They're huge, but are being surrounded by the Persians culturally.
10 - Iroquois. Weak, but might be losing to the Aztecs.
11 - Aztecs. Bound to have a huge army soon.
