Newbie here, good builder but weak warmonger. Here's the situation:
The Americans and Babylonians have teamed up to attack the Zulus. All these guys are on my border, but the front for this war will end up being far away. Thus, it present the perfect opportunity for my democracy to attack from the rear, grab a couple of cities, and negotiate a quick peace treaty before war-weariness sets in. The question is, who to hit?
a) The Zulus -- they're already fighting a two-front war and they're weak to begin with; they'll be easy and never retaliate.
b) The Americans -- they're only on my border because they built an isolated city far away from their empire; they're strong, but if I take it we won't have a border any more and they're unlikely to make too much of it.
c) The Babylonians -- they're reasonably strong, so hitting them will pare them back.
Assuming no resources can be gained in any of these land-grabs, and no city gained will give a strategic advantage like a choke-point, who should I hit?
