"Declared War" (Recent Foriegn Office Screen)

[H Tower]

could trade war be a possibility too? i saw an economic sanctions option in the second diplomacy screen. It seems Moo places a more emphasis on trade than civ has. although i have no idea, i've never played any moo before

H Tower, I can not speak for Moo3 (yet), but I almost never trade in Moo1/Moo2, but sometimes do in Civ3. Trade does help keep the AI friendlier than it otherwise would be, until you start making money. In Moo games the seem to get unpleaseant once you are making a profit. If your are Human or Charismatic, that helps.
