heh...I knida operate the same. peacefull less the AI gets uppity and takes a city. then I tend to either go all out against the offending nation and grind em into dust. to be spitful I leave em with some back-water city. if I am being nice I only take a couple of their cities after an offending action...~
You peace builders, should expand you options occasionally.
Try the Celts, with Boudica as your leader.
My friend and I are on a LAN.
We do settings "Always War", "Raging Barbarians", "Aggressive AI", "Random Personalities", and "Choose Leaders".
So, you can choose Churchill of the Celts, or Spain.
We put in any number of AIs, and see who can take out the most, the soonest.
That's one way to test how good your leader is in a fast rush game.
Genghis Khan is good for this too. I had a great game with him leading the Native Americans. I had 7 Great Generals before the game was over. I had 3 knights, and a few Trebs, because, that's all I needed to tech up to. I used mostly Catapults, Dog Soldiers and Spearmen, and starved Rome of it's Iron. hahaha.
I got the Stonehenge early, so, I had totem poles in every city (+3xp for archers).
Nice.
