are you drunk?

The war MONGER of course!

ACK!

DEFENSE! *clap* *clap* DEFENSE! [Repeat]


I never win as a war monger, I play defensively, unless I'm attacked then it's all out genocide against the offending civ. Razing everything and killing workers.

I need to goto anger mananging classes.

I'd say the favors are on the side of the defensive civ.

I play defensive and only attack when I have to and theres no backing out of war till one of us is dead.

take it this with 50+ cities and constant war, you gotta have communsim. So lets say this confrontation occurs around the early industrial age...

the best offense the monger could have is cavalary
the best defensive the defender should have is infantry.

now with good size fewer cities... a lower production rate verses a rather big one... I think the infantry will hold out... but a costly war none the less... and the defensive side should be able to get a hold of tanks pretty soon... making everything hte monger has obsolete

Let me expand on my statement.

If I am the defensive city against the AI, I will win.
If I am the war Monger against the AI, I will win.

In MP? That is a whole other story.

ACK!

No, if it was MP, it would be in the PTW section, not general.

ACK!

I can't answer this post as I have never limited myself to 5 cities I try to play a balanced game, lots of building and lots of war usually I am the instigator as well.
