Settings are single player, emperor, factual (but all on one continent), 8 civs, me as Denmark. Here’s the situation:

1. As soon as I got berserkers, I rushed my closest neighbor, Alexander, and razed all his cities but one (and took the capital).
2. I weakened the last city, the bribed Washington (the next neighbor over) to DOW and capture it.
3. I turned on Washington and liberated the Greek city, bringing Alexander back to life.
4. I proceeded on to capture Washington’s capital. He now has several cities but only one with major economic value, which I am currently well positioned to crush. It’s right next to Venice as well.

Question: since it’s still relatively early in the game, do I accept Washington’s peace treaty (complete with a POS city in the middle of nowhere) and rearm for an attack on Venice, or do I overrun the city and take the warmonger penalty to reduce the risk of Washington attacking me on that front or blocking my path to Venice?
