I usually don't ask for help here on the forums here because I'm still rather new and inexperienced. However, I thought that I'd see what people would do in this situation. The file is attached, but I don't know if many people will be able to load it up because I'm using the BUG 4.0x mod (which includes Better AI).
I can explain the situation in case people can't load the save file. Early game I go for a strategy of building as many wonders as possible. My southern neighbor Hammurabi dies to a super early barbarian attack before he even gets a second city. I swoop in and take the capital for myself and expand westward towards Pacal. My main cities are on the northern edge of the landmass and the Hammurabi capital is on the southern end. There isn't that much space between my two regions, but Pacal started building cities there.
I have a ton of wonders up, including the one that gives +2 per specialist, so I should be able to win the culture war. Anyway, I was basically set on attacking Pacal to clean up the middle of my land, but then I noticed some islands above my capital and also some below the Hammurabi capital that I could expand to. Should I attack Pacal first or ignore his annoying cities and expand onto the islands? Of course I can do both eventually, but my military is a little weak so it would take a considerable effort to get it into shape.
