This is one area of the game where I'm pretty unclear on the mechanics. Maybe I did something else to earn it, but I'm pretty sure I've gotten identified as a warmonger after capturing several cities from an AI that attacked me first. Am I just imagining this or is there some type of formula to determine how much you can get away with? Also, is there any difference in the "warmonger" dipl. penalty if you take cities by treaty as opposed to outright conquest?
