I need some strategies for starting wars between other countries - leaving myself uninvolved.
Also, I started a new game today, as the Babylonians. Large map, 7 other opponents. I found myself on a fairly large island - along with seven sources of silk. I got control of the entire island with my nine cities, with the exception of three squares along my southern coast. China came along - why do I always have problems with the Chinese - and established a city right where I didn't want them. I was built up militarily, so I declared war, and since I attacked with four swordsmen and four bowmen, and they only had one spearman for defense, I razed their city and took back my land without any casualties.
However, I keep trying to establish an ROP with Greece. Before my war, I was able to do it. Afterwards, no dice. The Greeks refuse every attempt. I've even tried sweetening the pot a bit for them, with no luck. Since I declared war on the Chinese, am I being ostracized by the AI?
