How do one instigate a World War?

Inherited Turns
Some rants first.
We should cancel most gold trade, esp this 5g trade. It is not worth the price to help AI with growth/happiness. Also, Warlord has 0 cost for upgrade (not even exp reset), so why not upgrade?? For that matter, I upgraded every unit (except for a grenie).
As explained in previous posts, I don't think the coal plant is worth it, thus I suspended it. However since there is only 1~2 turns left (due to hammer degradation), I suggest completing it just before we get Plastic to hasten the hydro plant.
The above shows the city management before and after my MM. Worthy of note is working on the lake. Because raw commerce is multiplied by bureaucracy's 50% before going through the beakers multiplier, it is much more worthwhile to work on the 2F2C lake instead of 2F3H forest.
But what a waste of effort, next turn Asoka lost his supply of clams ...
... forcing me to reassign a scientists to work on forest. Damned.
War Matters
I decided to raze one Brennus city:
This earn us a GG, which instead of Mil. Acad. as suggested, I think a MI is much better ... we aren't going to produce more units ... what we have currently is enough (maybe when we have Industrialism, we can get one or two tanks to have hammer overflow to more important builds).
By and large, I am content to wait for brenny to send his troops into our border before taking them out, since that will double our GG points.
But he did not send much ... why? Because he has a bigger problem now.
Heh heh. That should keep Brenny, Hatty, and Washy busy.
Then Asoka must sign peace ...
I checked Hannibal, he "has enough on his hands".
I was hoping that Hannibal would DoW on Asoka soon ... but if the next player can't wait (or you think Hannibal is going DoW on us instead, doubt so, as he has no direct path to reach us), you can get Asoka to Dow on Hannibal for the price of Radio.
Other Stuff
I noticed Hatty close to completing Ass Line earlier on (she wouldn't even accept a selling price of AssLine for 300 gold), so I quickly trade AssLine to her vassal:
Getting us combustion. Here is the tech situation:
We can try to trade for Industrialism or even Rocketry with Radio and Computers (4 more turns), and go ahead with Plastics then Robotics. Someone suggested FO for Internet, I personally don't think it is worth it, but that can be discussed and debated.
The actual world situation (no joke):
Note that Hatty+Washy are now Friendly while Asoka dropped to Pleased.
