Whats is your preference Term V

[Nimitz]

This is the term 5 opinion poll to see the general climate of the game. I will continue to take poll through out the game to see the ebbs and flows of how the ideas change and influence the game. If you have any other styles you want added please mention it.
Builder (Think MPA)
Warmonger (Think AGG)
War-Builder (Middle ground thinks both are needed in near equal amounts)
Pragmatist (Goes with opportunities that come up war or peace)
Religion First (Focus' on Religion)
Technologist (Focus' on Tech)
Culturist (Focus' on Culture)
Other (If nothing else covers you)

[RobWorham]

I see myself, in this game, predominantly as a builder, but I like to be always ready to take an opportunity should one present itself.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Pragmatist

[Metaliturtle]

Poll has no banana option, the smiles not on Nimitz!!!

[fed1943]

The question is about the style for this whole game or just for this

term? Aniway, my opinion:

Culturist: is not possible, too late to even think;

Religion: alone too much late to be profitable, if possible, so religion

begins with war (conquest, Bombay is the best);

War (monger/builder): in this term looks impossible, in the game is a

very important tool (not a goal);

Builder: understood as puting away all other things or build just to

build,no; otherwise,yes.

Technologist: it looks this term is a technology question, the whole

game is like builder a tool,not a goal;

Pragmatist: can never be wrong, but doesn't say much.

So, this technologist this term and war-builder in this remaining

game as a whole.

Best regards,

[Zoid]

I voted War-builder, but I misread the OP and thought it was for the remainder of the game. So it really should be either builder or pragmatist.

[Smellycowsquid]

I think we all know what I am

[FeMme]

I am concentrating on Building this Term plus going hard out for new techs

[Nugog]

Guess it is no surprise where I sit!



However, you cannot really be a successful warmonger, without a lead in useful techs.

As for war being a tool, not a goal, well i guess that depends what sort of victory, apart from time you want.

Cultural is out for us, as a victory.

Diplomatic is also probably out, particularly with the French/Aztec/Greek power block we are currently facing.

Domination - without warmongering - is IMO not an option.

Conquest - forget it.

Space Race - , but possible.

Time -

So what is our end goal - to survive to the end or win?

will be interesting to see what becomes of this...

[couerdelion]

I think my answer here gives a different message to the one I gave in the "Victory" poll. The latter was a much longer term goal which I think favours strongly a domination victory.

What is more interesting from this poll is how the results are going to be interpreted. It might be possible to reach several conclusions on different subjects simply by the classification of "borderline" votes (eg is War-builder one that supports war now or believes that we are in an interim war stage, or do those people now believe we have little purpose in war).
