PLEASE READ ALL POSTS BEFORE VOTING. THANK YOU.
Without picking a target yet (there are various debates / polls on that), should our first target be "pruned" or completely wiped off the map?
they both have their Advantages, so i'll briefly go over them.
GENOCIDE
PROS
one benefit of Genocide is obvious, the Civ just flat out wont be there anymore. it would give us a direction to expand towards with less opposition.
we may get 2 or 3 cities by conquering. we may get more from pruning.
genocide means more attacks, more chances for a GL.
with a civ wiped out, there will be less competition for resoures near the area.
we would get many workers from genocide.
CONS
more attacks means more randomness. chances at losing units will be greater, so we must be as careful as possible.
PRUNING
PROS
pruning a civ (ie taking a few cities but letting them live) often yields more cities than genocide (after we conquer a few, we get more for a peace treaty).
we would probably get a few techs if we prune, as well as some gold, maybe workers.
the AI would be in "subjigated" mode for a while, and will probably be prone to demands / fair trades. They may be "subjigated" for quite a long time if the AI decides to "shun" them.
CONS
an AI could finish them off and gain cities / techs whatever, and we lose the trade partner.
we could make an enemy for the rest of the game, and leave him standing on our doorstep.
after pruning, the AI may get better weapons and it will become harder to fight them again.
if you have any pros or cons, please post them. people should read the entire thread before voting, and i may not have covered it all.
thank you.
