Generally in NES's whats your playing style? For example are you a builder, diplomat, warmonger etc?

I would consider myself a highly agressive warmonger, with a pechant for genocide.
 
Nutty, but with a loyalty towards allies. Not counting in the LINES end game.
 
not really in the spotlights....but you can't ignore me...and not really warmongering....more diplomatic I guess...
 
I try to stay in character and I try ot be honourfull.
 
I'm lousy politican and builder, but moderate general, so i think it makes me a warmonger.
 
I try and stay IC, but tend to prefer politicans and merchentile/builder nations with a love of colonialism. Though North Kings most recent NES would have shown a very different path if it had lasted :viking:

Why? wasn't einstein a bloodthirsty hedgehog? he for sure looks like one :lol:

also note the "o rly"
 
I'm an aggressive general in the early game, until I become surrounded by nations. Then I'm an honourable diplomat and a builder, with a tendency for a fiery temper which generally comes back under control when I'm attacked.
 
I seem to be a builder/politician type. Although my successful conquests in stKNES5 appear to indicate that I'm a fairly capable general, as well.

Adapt to the situation at hand, else you will surely lose all.
 
I'm both a diplomat and a warmongerer: I conduct diplomacy to secure my position in case of war (which I often start myself once I've secured my position). Sometimes this strategy doesn't work (there's always the risk of getting betrayed), sometimes it does and when it does, I usually do very well in the game (the original Neo Nes would be a perfect demonstration of how this strategy works: I was surrounded by several nations and ended up being the world's top power together with one of my allies).
 
Russia above all and then play in whatever style fits the best.
I normally dont wage wars and stay true to allies that won't stab me in the back as far as I can tell. I tend to do a lot of diplomacy and plans under the carpet resulting in serious troubles for those who do not see it coming. On the surface I am "peace for all" guy and never get into agressive conflicts. BY the way Goobers NES is NOT a good example of my normal playing style. My plans there were plain evil... for reference ask the master.
 
Generally I just try to keep my head down and not attract attention to myself and conduct as little diplomacy as possible, until I am strong enough that my words actually carry weight then my diplomacy consists of smug superiority claims and demands.

If im in a industrial nes or at least a nes that has no unclaimed land and has entered the time of diplomacy instead of wars to get what you want I just try to find a leader type guy who I can ally myself too, I usually struggle for direction if their is no easy way to expand my borders.
 
Depends on my nation and my nes.

In Jasons I'm playing a highly aggressive Denmark who tolerates no insults. Kind of overprotective of my own citizens who have quite a few freedoms. No other nations are to tell us what to do.
In Kam's I'm a slightly xenophobic Ethiopia which is quite isolanistic.
In Kal's I got a militaristic state.
In Israelites old one I had a nation full of traders.
In Das's nes my nation is pragmatic above all and very loyal to allies and it's people.

I try to prevent any one style as I feel that will only become boring and predictable. I like to do something different in the games I'm in. Keeps it more interesting and more unpredictable for my neighbours.
 
I haven't really decided yet.

But from my first two NES'es, I tend to lead small nations on aggressive wars, while securing diplomatic assistance from powerful foreign allies.

So basically a diplomatic warmonger. I have an entirely different style planned for LINES2, though.
 
Usualy i'm playing fresh starts and going for a trade empire... naval one usualy.. always trying to revive my Portuguss empire...

jj revive stjnes5 :)
