How violent are you in civ4 compared to civ3?

[Macha]

i tried being more violent and then in 1931 my game got messed up (AGAIN) and i had to reinstall it. Then i went broke , failed to get elected to the UN (as secetary genereal not diplo victory luckily) and finally won by SS victory. I think ill stick with more peaceful games.

Much more war for me now than on Civ3. Two reasons. First, imo, war is more flexible and more fun in Civ4. Second, war seems to be more necessary than before (at least the way I play...).

On Civ3 I'd usually go for completely peaceful wins, but the more I play Civ4, the more of a warmonger I've become. It started on my first Civ4 game when, having neglected my defences thinking this would be like Civ3, I got rushed by Bismarck and came close to being wiped out. Since I'm now building loads of units to keep enemies off my back, why not use them to do a little ?

I'd have to say it's a little less, just because mass no longer ensures a quicker space race victory. In Civ3, the bigger you got, the faster you won-- except for Cultural, but then I've never pulled off that particular victory in either game. Wars are also more painful, at least potentially (can't get those Towns back in two turns), and the AI no longer accepts peace after one good beat down, or even losing one city. Definitely a little more thought before hand, even if war is only slightly more complicated.

At least there's more control than in Civ2. Man, the number of times a civ with one city declared war when I was building a space ship . . .

I'd say i'm a little less violent because I can have other goals than conquest and spaceship. All because of religion. I now want to spread it or go for the cultural win.

I'm a little less violent but I would say the AI is way more violent due to religion wars so I fight even more now I think. I would have never waged a war in CIV III before 1 AD.

Cant Beat CIV 2 though...this was violent...I cant say I miss the nuclear apocalytica of all the end games of civ 2. Except Caravan you really had nothing to do than conquer
