Peaceful Sid victories?

[Pentium]

I'd like to know if there are any reported peaceful-building Sid victories. I know there are quite a lot of Sid games, even AW, but all of them included war. Is there anyone without it?

I'm trying one, but if granaries keep disappearing when I have 15 gold in my treasury and -1gpt, I'm not gonna have a chance...

Why exactly are they disappearing?

Ok, that was exposed.

So, have anyone of you made or at least heard of a peceful Sid victory?

 

[Tomoyo]

Yes, I heard that Gyathaar had one.

Well what do you mean by peaceful? Does it include xCC gmaes, does it mean you never have a war or never start one, or exactly what. I never had one without some combat, but I suspect it could be done with a small empire.

I think he means winning by anything except domination or conquest.

Under this definition, there have been tons of peaceful Sid wins. For example, there are a few Space Sid games in the SG forum. Scouting Sid was a Diplomatic win. The HOF has a few, too.

In my diplomatic HoF sid game I was not totally peaceful, since one of the AIs declared on me, so I had to kill off the units they landed next to my undefended capital (and while at it I razed two cities they had planted between my cities too).. that was the only military action and war I had thou..

I was 100% peaceful (never at war with anyone) in my last Diplomatic HoF Deity game (it's just one level lower than Sid). IMO, playing peaceful is fast, and very relaxing. I really like it and probably will play again.

Betazed had a "No Military," meaning not only no wars, no military units, on C3C Deity, and won. I'm sure there are sid games without wars.

Somebody posted about a No Military Sid game in the HoF a long time ago, but IIRC some victory conditions were switched off.

 

[Pentium]

Yeah, I forgot to check the HoF .

By a peaceful game, I meant that you haven't declared war on anyone or capture anyone's land. If you're attacked, it's pretty natural to defend yourself.

I have a no-war vanilla Deity win (don't have C3C, so I can't try anything thougher).

And of course: to everyone that has beaten Sid. I'm going to take a look of some of your games when I come home.

There's a german guy, look in the HOF forum he posted a thread on it. I think he's Kronic (not sure though). He keeps beating Sid with no military units. He uses the Sumerians most of the time.
