Well, I would say that you have to know how to war well, if just to set yourself up. For example I consider myself a builder at heart but that was keeping me from doing well on Noble. So I went into "boot camp" playing as the Mongols and the Aztecs to get a feel for war. Now I'm not really a warmonger persay, but I do take out anyone who infringes on my builder supremacy

Well I did go to war to a limited degree early on to gain a power base but I didn't want to focus on war to win the game. Let's look at the final scores vs. screenshots. Rish got the highest score because he conqured the entire continent. Tiger got a lower score because he conqured less of the continent. I conqured even less than both of them and I lost the game (though only because of a permanant alliance created by two rivals but I still could not have won the space race). The logical conclusion to this is that the more you war, the more chances you have to win and with a higher score. This doesn't mean you can't win without warmongering early in the game, but it does seem that your score will be much lower if you don't.

Well I went to war to built a power base too, except that my poswerbase was the entire continent

An interesting and hard variant would be to prevent us from going to war...

Yes, the permanent peace option. Might be fun. Btw, congrats Rish, I didnt expect my score to be good enough to hold onto my crown and so it proved.

Yes, I like the permanant peace option as well. It will force us to think outside the box.
