Recently I have begun war with the empire Alexander and I am beginning to regret my decision. War is expensive and it is slowing the development of my civilization because all of my efforts are going to expanding my armies and defences. I thought that the war would be a quick war due to the fact that my empire is significantly larger than Alexander's but it has been going on for quite a while and I am getting a little bored. I keep getting notifications that the enemy has been sighted close to some of my cities and I am keeping my cities fortified to be ready for attack but it just seems like they are not ever going to come and attack. Hopefully this war will not be the demise of my civilization because I am looking forward to entering the modern age. I have lost quite a few of warriors that to the enemy but I have yet to loose an entire city. If I continue to loose money and the enemy doesn't come any closer I might be tempted to end the war. I am skeptical to end war because then the other civilizations will think that I am weak and most likely attack me.
A worldly example of an expensive war is the war in Iraq. This war has put the US in emince debt. America is in over it's head in Iraq and has put so much time and effort, not to mention money that if they were to pull out now with unfinished business all of their efforts would have been for nothing. Hopefully the war in Iraq as well as the war in my game will both end successfully.

You make a good point about other countries seeing you as weak if you end the war. This is also another good tie-in to your Iraq comparison. Even if we wanted to end the war in Iraq right now, we would not because we have not yet won. If we were to surrender, other nations would then think of the US as weak (or at the very least, not as powerful as they thought) and this is not something that we, as Americans, like to feel.
