Are you a warmonger or a builder?

[Swedishguy]

I have to fight to build. Axemen rock. A Warmonger/Builder mix it is.

 

[armoredcrawler]

I warmonger unless I'm isolated...then its culture victory time.

I am technically a warmonger, but with egypt i build in my capital and bigger cities and get 20 GP or such with obelisks before they obsolete. I use all of them to improve my capital (If they're prophets) and watch the enemy suffer.

I´m a builder.

I try to rule my civilization according to how I would rule a modern-day country. I try to be nice and almost never attack anyone, but if I am attacked, I will defend myself aggressively of course.

I think Civ 4 is much more fun trying to optimize your civ with peaceful means. Warmongering is more suitable to RTS-games...

 

[dirtyparrot]

I'm way too much of a builder. You probably need a good balance between being a builder and warmongerer to win at the higher levels.

Bumping much?

My wins are 1/3 Space Race, 1/3 Domination and 1/3 Conquest.

I like building... BUT whether I'm #1 on the power graph or at the bottom somebody wants a fight. So I have a tendency to war with that civ until I vassal them or they destroy me. Then if I win 'Oh my whatever will I do with this stack of troops?' thus begins the next world war.

On the one hand, I find a totally peaceful game boring and will sometimes just maneuver myself into a war...on the other hand I'm simply not very aggressive, so my early game is not only very builder-esque, it's SLOW. I usually have maybe 3-4 cities by the AD's, instead of the generally recommended 6-8...

Call me a hybrid, then.

 

[suley1]

i love the idea of two very well developed and powerful nations going for a good old fashioned slog without nukes.... so i guess im a builder in the early part of the game and turn warmonger in the latter part

I'm a builder. I would much rather found a religion or build a wonder then to take one from someone else, and I rarely declare war(Though if someone DoWs me I will generally take 2-3 of their cities if possible). I will declare war on another if they either threaten me(For example, my neighbor founds an opposing religion. I generally want to wipe them out before their religion can spread) of if they have a resource I need or some other economic advantage I can't obtain without going to war.
