In my current game I am on an island , playing as Egyptians, with Greece and Rome nearby.
Early on I built War Chariots and conquered Rome, reducing their empire to 3 Cities, then making peace. Turned out to be a good war, I got a Golden Age, some great resources and city sites, and a leader I used to build the Pyramids in a single turn.
I next went to war with Greece, having nothing better to do with the 12 Chariots I had built. Managed to take two of their cities, though they were tougher than the Roman defenders. My Army is threatening their Capitol.
Question is this; Are the Greeks more valuable to me as trading partners, or should I eliminate them?
The Greek capitol has the Colossus, so If I moved my Palace there it would make a great science city.
Or, would I get more techs by keeping them alive and extorting techs and gold from them?
Suggestions?
It is 600 AD or so and I am about to get Monarchy. No contact with any of the other 5 civs yet. I have control of the Island I am on, with the Greeks hangin on to the southern tip, and The Romans on the frozen territory at the north end of the island. Game is at Monarch or Regent, I forget which.

. The only exception is tech, but I'm sure you can find other AI to trade tech with fairly easily...
