You obviously are not a student of history, many many "Princes" have bankrupted their kingdoms in their vainglorious pursuit of military domination.
The path to victory is no longer kill all your neighbors.
Yeah, but still some empires have been forged through conquest, and were "scientific" and cultural references still.
We still have a domination victory, that tells you to grab every other capital, so there's still a way to go that imply conquer.
Is great you are not able to get the lead by conquering, but now it hurts more than helps, that's the problem I have with it.
