Greetings all,

Quote:

however most WMs are not very diplomatic or they would not have chosen the race in the first place.

I would like to differ on this point for a number of reasons. EDog would know of this race that I am about to point out but in the game Battle for Glory Two I played a, get this, _PEACEFULL_ War Monger. Interstingly enough this worked out well for me as I soon met up with what was known as the Pigs in Space, who where also WM. Since the Pigs in Space decided to take out everybody and anybody around them due to the fact that they knew they couldn't get their planets any other way, I was able to build a "coalition" of races to fight against him. Soon I had both a CA and a IS on my side providing me with both Standard AND speed Bump mine layers, as well as Propulsion Tech and Electronics tech while I researched for the Heavy Blaster Dreadnaughts.

Now the race I played took advantage of the Cheap weapons and I was able to build a fleet of a good 30 Dreadnaughts, all of which where struggling to get into one fleet. The next sized fleet was that of a Cruiser design from the IS who's tech wasn't that great (had all expensive tech) Though he did have them in large enough numbers to make them extremely dangerous (fleets of like 30-50 ships). Then of course was a second fleet of about 10 BB's that was also slowly growing. The reason I was playing peacefully was because I knew my Race reached it's peak not in the middle of the game but towards the endgame. It may seem strange for a War Monger to let go of it's early weapons advantages and what not, but think about a Dreadnaught fleet being built by sets of 5-8 per year until minerals kick in. The Dreadnaught coupled with Cheap engines, Cheap Weapons, Maxed out Regenerating Shields, and the best Weapons tech in the galaxy... it is OK to be peacefull as a Warmonger.

Then again think of the game you wish to join and rather than think of how a WM should fit into that game think of what you think could take full advantage of the oportunit ...
