Donsig - I know it may sound crazy, but yes, I gave it to them.
My reason was paranoia. If Greece or China attacked while America is already at war with us, other civs were sure to follow, possibly making this the shortest SG in CFC history.
Look at it this way: If Alex had built Thermopylae right next to Berlin, we would have already gone to war. Thats a given.
Instead, we paid a tribute for our arrogance and now we have an ally.
If we are hard pressed, we can now reasonably expect France and Greece to help us. We have many frontiers, as KD pointed out. Diplomacy is our greatest weapon for the time being.
If China attacks, get France to attack Abe and Greece to attack Mao.
And quickly, before they turn our freinds against us instead.
Our strategy now is simple: Build up and improve our circle of cities.
Some day down the road we will settle all accounts when we have panzers.
As for an American SG, I played an SP as Abe recently, and had a good time with it. After Babylon is finished, I am up for an American SG on one condition:
We change some of the city names. Alot of them are just plain silly.
Gonzo - After donsig and KD take their turns, I'll push you back into the rotation.
