I's 960AD. I'm the Americans, I have made a bee line in tech research for Navigation, so I can send my ships across the ocean to find the other continent on the map. Its me and the Aztecs, the Myans, the Iroquois, and the Incans on one continent. Should I be concerned with finding the other civs, (Indians, Babalonians, and the Koreans, and Dutch). I can't imagine they've grown too much, I haven't seen them the whole game. I'm the strongest on my continent and haven't built a wonder yet. I could just go to war with the other civs, and beat them down, but I want to keep my reputation up when it comes to selecting a UN Sec.

Bottom line I just want to keep my reputation up for the end of the game scenarios.

So, War, or continue exploring/building? I'm sure it doesn't matter, but I'm curious to hear from you.

Jeremy.
 
Well if you want a diplomatic win, just keep building. Otherwise I would wipe the other ones on your continent out.

Make sure to build the UN no matter what path you choose.
 
well, good one would be if some of your continent civ would walk on your territory, and would say "withdraw your units or declair war", and he would declair war on you. Then you could wage some war, and gain points, without being an agressor :)
 
You want to build the UN, so you need to be sure to reseach Fisson (but you knew this). You can't build the UN until you do have Fission, so you want to start a city on a preBuild for that wonder.

Finding the other civs would reduce the research cost of techs, which should work in your favor.

You dominate your landmass. How are you doing in tech?

If you do go to war, keep the SCI civs around. Fission is a level 1 tech in the Modern Age. One of them might learn that tech as their 'freebie' and you could buy it. If you get to the Modern Age before they do, you could gift them up into the Modern Age and then see what their freebie was.
 
If you've been particularly bad to a nation, it might help to wipe them out, as it'll be hard to get their vote. And remember you don't just need more votes then the others, but an absolute majority (example: 4 votes for you, 2 for a rival and 2 abstains is NOT a majority).
Your rival would be any civ that has over 25% of either population or landmass, or just the biggest civ in population after you. If you know who your rival is, you can try and set everybody up against that rival. Make a lot of deals with civs in that last phase of the game, just before the vote, to get them on your side.
