Strategies
While this Wonder provides Defensive bonuses by providing the boost to units within your Territory, it doesn't mean that doesn't help a Warmonger. You can lure enemies into your borders, smash them, then cross over and take their Cities.

The bonus isn't much to look at alone, but combined with flanking, unit promotion bonuses, any boosts from Honor and other buildings (like Heroic Epic) this is going to stack and set your units over the top so long as they are up-to-date technologically.

Keep in mind that you can win Cities in Wars without ever conquering one, simply by reducing your enemy's military through losses and giving them reason to fear you. Cities taken this way don't affect your Warmonger status like Annexing or Puppeting does, so it's a wise move to prevent the AI from forming a coalition to destroy you. Make your move for total world Domination and capture Capitals after you have weakened other Civs by taking their Cities through Peace Treaties.
