I realize we don’t want to make this a game simply about war, but shouldn’t there be more of a benefit for winning if forced to wage one?

I mean, say I get attacked by one of the AI’s and end up fighting him for 40 or so turns, whatever benefits I might have gained in a victory are offset by having to retool my economy away from technologies to make war.

I think that you should be able to choose one or two of your opponents technologies if you sack their capital and/or make the AI offer one up at some point as a peace concession if you’re really kicking their fanny. It would help offset your loss of technology advances during the war period.

Isn't getting all their cities good enough? They all have gold and some might have building or wonders.

"You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.
Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess."
