>pacifistic militarist
It's the ultimate strategy. Create an unbeatable army that has no weapons but is completely unkillable, and just walk into enemy bases/capitals and refuse to leave. It's not like they can kick you out.

Game is way more fun when not being OP as fuck. Also RNG mechanics -> Klackons

What drives a man to go neutral?
>>329418660
Apathy

So... space Gandhi?

Klackons
they're the sexiest
>play any 4x game
>no matter what diplomatic thing you do, what kind of alliance you have, what kind of trade relations you have the AI will always dick out and attack you out of the blue for no reason at all even if you had peaceful relations with them for four thousand years

Pacifist does not mean a refusal to use violence. Pacifist means violence is always the last thing resorted to, and killing is avoided if at all possible.
Many Bhuddist warrior monks were pacifists, and slow to go to war, but still very warlike.

well they are trying to win the game too anon
The means to peace is to prepare for war.
>play MOO2
>have heaps of fun
>sooner or later the enemy AI starts sending an infinite amount of flimsy ships that travel to my system, attempt to engage my forces then retreat and repeat the whole thing over and over and over
Happens every time and it's annoying as fuck.

>mfw this could bring about another age of 4x space games
>>329419375
I don't remember which game it was but there was one where the AI will never ever betray you and this just makes everything really boring.
You have to treat alliances like ceasefires. At any given moment you could be getting invaded and so you have to still prepare for that event. This is important because it takes momentum out of your primary objective - so YOU can't steamroll all over your focused enemy with 100% of your fleet/army

my favorite 4x game to this day is Birth of the Federation
it has many flaws but I just love starting it up and playing for a bit before the shitty code makes every turn a pain in the ass to go through
Same thing with CIV3. I prefer it to any other Civ game but after a while the crap coding makes every turn last forever

In most recent sim games of that type they have multiple ways to "win" the game, most of them not including warfare at all.
Cultural victory, diplomatic victory, build/research a certain goal tech or advancement, etc...
Even in games like Europa Universalis and its spinoffs you can go through the entire game and never be at war at all and still achieve a lot.

The same thing happens in Endless Space, unless they patched it. The worst part is that it just wastes so much fucking time and slows the turn progression to a crawl, regardless of whether or not you skip the fights.

I really liked that in Rise of Nations. Trying to speedrun economically was fun for a bit.

It always started crashing about 100 turns in for me no matter when i played it, back when it was new or at any time i wanted to try it again. In fact i tried it a couple months ago and the endless crashing made it impossible.
>>329420513
botf or civ3?

>discovering
I would say re-discovering. I have fond memories of playing moo1 as a childwith my dad, who still plays moo1 to this day, 23 years later.

The game I played the most was Master of Magic.
Ass-backwards imbalanced but I loved the fact that you could explore two parallel world maps and recruit heroes and equip them with magic items you'd forge and so on.
Also special racial units and buildings and so on.
Still have nightmares about phantom soldiers cutting through my heroes like butter though.
Or ranged units fucking my shit up before I can even move.
