Whether the Dwarves are unintelligent depends a lot on the situation and
the people playing the neutrals.

In the 1650 scenario, any North Gondor or Cardolan, that early on attacked the
(neutral) Dunlending capital with sufficient force to take it, would gain
my approval as a neutral.  Either Dunland goes good, adding another
nation to the Free Peoples, or it dies removing any possible backstab.

In game 7 of the 1650 scenario with me playing the Corsairs, the Free Peoples
lost quite a bit of diplomatic capital when they did not attack the Easterlings
quickly.  The Easterlings were playing a double game benefitting the Dark
Servants and when the Free Peoples realized it and attacked they were ever
so apologetic about it.  No point in joining the Free Peoples here.
