Regent
Question:
I am Persia on a relatively small continent alone with Zululand. Other civ's are on other continents but haven't met either of us yet. I've been at war with Zulu for awhile (they started it). I was about to put the finishing blows to them when they offered a pretty lucrative deal to me if I signed a peace treaty; so I did. (It is like 600 BC or so and they gave me Writing, Worker(s), and 160GP (I'm broke right now due to big army) in their plea for me not to kill them).
But I'm thinking that I just built up a big army to wipe them out and I'm at their front door. China has just recently landed on the continent but is far enough away that they won't meet either of us right away. Can I double-cross Zululand on the peace treaty and wipe them out with-out any of the other Civilizations in the world finding out (since they haven't met us yet)? And therefore they wouldn't know to mistrust me in future dealings?
This is my first game on Regent level...I jumped to Regent after my first game at Chieftain (I won Space Race in 1991 AD). So I'm thinking I ought to get rid of Zulu while I have the chance and claim most of the continent for myself. Or maybe I should meet China first and maybe sell them contact with Zulu or something?
Basically, should I let Zulu live or die?
