It took Nebuchadnezzar some two years to regroup and rebuild his armies, but by 598 he was on the march again, and in 597 he occupied Jerusalem, deposing the Judaian king Jehoiachin and transporting him and other prominent citizens to captivity in Babylon (most likely as hostages against further Jewish rebellions) He continued his expansionist military campaigning for the rest of his reign, clashing more or less successfully with other powers in the eastern Mediterranean, Asia Minor and the Middle East.

Taking advantage of Babylon’s disarray, Judah and several other subject states revolted. He continued his conquests until 600, when, possibly over-extended, he lost badly to an Egyptian army. He resumed campaigning shortly thereafter, when he conquered a number of smaller states including Judah. Upon his father’s death in 605, Nebuchadnezzar returned to Babylon and assumed the throne. He served under his father in several military campaigns, and in 606 BC he commanded an army which destroyed an Egyptian army at Carchemish, securing for Babylon the control of Syria. Nebuchadnezzar (which is sometimes spelled "Nebuchadrezzar") was the oldest son of Nabopolassar, the founder of the Chaldean empire, who had done much to make Babylon into an imperial power. Nebuchadnezzar II also figures prominently in the Bible for the conquest of Judah and the forced relocation of many Israelites to Babylon.
He is best known for his military conquests and his restoration of the city of Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar II was king of Babylon for some 43 years (605-562 BC). On the other hand, he may try to attack or bully them instead. Nebuchadnezzar is very keen on making friends with city-states. However, he is not likely to become angry at warmongers. Nebuchadnezzar is rather difficult to befriend, as he is disloyal and very unlikely to forgive a transgression. In the later eras, expect him to have powerful anti-air defenses and make heavy use of spies and nuclear weapons. Nebuchadnezzar strongly favors ranged units when building his army, and will use it for defense more often than offense. He also tends to try to build many wonders. Given his unique ability, Nebuchadnezzar places a high emphasis on Science and Great People. He will also try to keep his cities well defended. Nebuchadnezzar likes to have fewer cities with higher Population. Nebuchadnezzar tends to try any victory condition, but he will most likely attempt a scientific or diplomatic one. He seems to show disdain for both the player and his citizens, saying that "those fools outside think I am some sort of god." Notably, when the player first meets him, he drops his goblet. On his diplomacy screen, he is sitting on his throne in a dark ziggurat, flanked by two greenish flames.
