I assume you mean important. Therefore I voted "Does not represent my view" I could live with the flaws of cIV if only the AI was good.
which is the most impotent aspect of Civ

I went with "poorly phrased".
it is a combination and none is more important than the other. also, it would also very from person to person. my personal gut feeling is that the younger players will be of the more "military" mindset and the older folks will look more to "peaceful empire building". in the end neither really is more important and work best when used hand-n-hand...~

I'm a peace time builder, and even in war I don't really go on the offensive unless I lose a city. Then i beat their --- until all they have is some crappy little city and then I make them capitulate.
So yeah, diplomacy is one of the most important factors. And Impotent... since basically its always a give in situation... they rarely try to make a beneficial transaction. Also, I'm sick of having them pissed because I don't want to join them in some war or because I don't want to change the way i run my civ...

The most important aspect of civ has been the AI.
The most impotent aspect of civ has been the AI at times, too!
You are hereby awarded the coveted "Best Post in Thread" award.
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...~

It is a balance between diplomacy and military.
It has been proven that you can win by building zero military units. However, you can also win by using zero diplomacy.

Same here, however once you run out of space where else are you going to go. If they take one I take two. I like long games, if you beat them down too fast .....

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.

I voted using impotent, and voted diplomacy. Its always something that was very lacking to me, and beyond open borders and a tech trade every now and then i dont use it. The addition of city states, in my view, isnt going to help, but just be one more thing in diplomacy not to bother with. Just to note, I do play at lower levels, so that may be the problem, because you dont need any of it to win.

I think I mainly play Civ because it is turn based and complex.
I dont always have the time to play 40 minutes straight. sometimes my baby cry or my girlfriend screams after me...lol i can stop and go and comeback. hard to do with real time game

These are all victory types in a way, so it's like asking what is your favourite victory type.
