You know, we don't just have an emergency that lets us declare war on Suboptimal. We have (lesser) emergencies available that allow us to declare on Woden and Ichabod too, regardless of existing DoFs and alliances, if we can make sure we have enough diplo favor to pass them. Grievances and occupation of Suboptimal's capital (which is not guaranteed, but if we can't pull that off none of this is relevant) will put a serious dent in our favor generation and will likely put us at a deficit for a bit, and the others may catch wise if we pull it off the first time, but there's potential for us to launch some out of nowhere surprise attacks (admittedly without the first strike) if we want to.
I suppose I should probably ask the lurkers, though: Is this okay? I'm trying to exploit what is very obviously a bug, that the other players likely have no reason to anticipate. I doubt it matters that I'm mostly doing this to get around my crippling leader "advantage," if this is okay for me then it's presumably equally acceptable for a good civ with the first turn order slot.
Williams is asking this.
