Currently playing on standard map, warlord (yes I'm still a newbie), everything random. 5 civs are left standing and only France and the Aztecs (me) have any real slice of territory. I'm in front on everything but the military advisor says we have an average military compared to the French (we both have cavalry, riflemen and RR). Currently in democracy. Every body hates me except France. We have a mutual protection pact that expires in 8 turns. France has a collection of about 6 cities surrounded by my empire (we both attacked china at the same time as it was getting squeezed between us- Joan went south west, I went north east and then due west cutting her off)- then we bump together on my northern border. I plan to win by conquest or dominantion.
I've read numerous times of people getting a target civ to declare war on them rather than vice versa. To help hold down war weariness (and because I've not done it before) I would REALLY like France to declare war - How can I get them to do so? Every time she sets foot on my patch - I tell her to move and she does. Any other suggestions?
