Do we have the territory that we want? If not, how much more do we want? Our policy of Manifest Destiny was decided upon when we knew very little of the map. The general assumption was that we would conquer an entire large island or small continent - maybe even a large continent. Since we're on a pangaea continent we may need to rethink this policy. Please discuss and vote on this policy here.
 
It has become painfully obvious that our best friend Hammurabi has been buying peoples favour for many decades now. I noticed this after we spend much of our knowledge trying to get people out of this war, and Greece and babylon shoot them right back in. I think we should conquer egypt fully and then see if Babylon and Greece think we should "appease" them.

Onward to more solid discussion:

America has only one city left, Houston (very apparent because it is the newest and the capital) it seems we wont get any money out of them for peace, as I suspect they have no income. In my opinion, we should take Houston, and that would probably destroy there civ as a whole. However,on the odd chance they have a settler somewhere out there, whether it be on a boat or what-have-you, peace should be made with them.

Intermission!!!! :crazyeye: :scan: :cool:

Our American citizens harbour deep resentments for the ongoing war and we would only cause riots by continuing the aggression against their mother country. When we do locate their final city (should there be one) we can take it in one turn, finishing the chances of the people rebelling.

Whew, that was long, sorry folks! :eek: :crazyeye:
 
SirPleb has shown me a good deal. We can get peace with the Egyptians, for a great deal.

We get...
Military Alliances against...
Yanks (make the cost cheaper)
Babylonians
Greece
Iroqouis
100+ gold

They get...
Military Alliances as stated above

This could garentee an ally to stop the domino effect from repeating. At the very least we have nothing to lose. We won't be able to attack Egypt for a while, and it will make the war longer, but our peace won't be undone, it's worth it for the gold alone, even if they do break it.
 
So let me make sure I understand this, we get 100 gold for peace with them, and an alliance against several countries we are already at war with? :goodjob:

The only downside is it delays our destruction of the evil, treacherous Egyptian by 20 turns, er...
I mean it solidifies our friendship and mutual understanding for several centuries into the future!! ;)

Sounds good to me.
 
Donsig pointed out it will prevent the production of Leaders, (or at least reduce them). So we may want to research if we can find a simular deal with others.
 
Sorry for my absence. I've spent the bulk of the past couple days in the hospital with my 3 month old. The good news is everything is cool now. The bad news is I'm so tired any advice I could give right now would be suspect.

Immortal's plan looks excellent to me and I fully endorse it. (See, told you he was an excellent candidate!)
