Peace in DG3?

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Well, it took a thread at the end of 1 to get us to dominaton. Now how about a nice peaceful game with minimal wars and perhaps a UN or Space Victory?
Well, what about it?
Ooo! Mabey we could go for a quick space victory.
Discuss!!

I would like a peaceful game, but alot of it depends on what Civ we pick. Cultural and Diplomatic are my favorites, but I might consider supporting a Space victory.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

not a culture game. that was 1. perhaps we can be the Peaceful Babs, friend to all, going to be chairman of the UN

 

[naervod]

Actually Diplo and Culture are the only ones I haven't won a game on, and since Culture was DG1, I would say go for Diplo.

 

[Octavian X]

The higher levels all require agression on our part, so I really wouldn't be hopeful for a pleasent game. Besides, culturemonger games tend to get boring...

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

looks like it'll be monarch, oct.

 

[Noldodan]

Whenever I play, I'm gunning for a space victory when: oops! I win a diplomatic victory! I suggest playing as France, good for sucking up and industrious is a must-have, especially in late-game.

We could be brave and noble Gauls!! (ct, not my doing. see the RBC SG thread "The Valiant French")
That may be fun

Peace? Ick... stay away.... I might catch your disease.

Honestly, I'm a warmonger myself, but I think our strategy should be based on the Civ we choose. I wouldn't entirely object to a peaceful game, but I'm not a fan of it either.

I think SAaM is on the right track. Decide what kind of victory you want and then choose a civ that fits that victory type, not the other way round. BTW, I still like the idea of a team demo game. Let the peacemongers make a team and the warmongers make a team and see who wins.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Yea.. Lets have SaaM cant win past monarch face off against the only Llama in the GOTM...

But seriously, lets choose a victory path

 

[Bootstoots]

Perhaps we could win a peaceful victory after a moderate amount of wars.

 

[amirsan]

I say we should be wormongers in the very beggining to gain as much territory as possible and before the mid-midevil age we become peaceful builders and go for Diplo or Space, just like Oct. said, we will require at least some aggression to win.

 

[Shaitan]

I say we just play the game and see what happens.

 

[Cheetah]

lets play and see

Personally, I don't see what's wrong with the French. I think they're the perfect builder civ - industrious/commercial. Industrious workers can keep up with expansionist in terms of getting roads out for settlers. Also, they can build up a good infrastructure for lots of gpt. (lots of gpt to rush things with). And, 150+gpt (300+ w/GA) means lots of science research.

What does playing the French have to do with being peaceful in DG3?

I was wondering the same thing... My games as the French often start with a hyper-early warrior rush

Because, I'm a builder at heart. I know the last game didn't show that...

But, I like being industrious/commercial for a builders game. Commercial especially.

 

[Shaitan]

Hmmm...

Commercial usually leads to big armies for me. Lots of conflict and conquering.
