There appears to be two main types of Civ players, those who play Civ as a wargame and those who play it more as historical simulation. I'm curious as to which style of play gamers prefer here in this forum.

If you haven't noticed, there is no such thing as the historical simulator guy. What there is, however, is the tradeperson. This person is ussually filthy rich and has a good science rate.

LOL...even more like who I am.
I tend to play on fundamentalism. I make tons of allies at great financial expense $$$, and never start a war (which I consider to last even through superficial peace treaties) with very few exceptions. But when somebody declares war on me or especially if the betray me, I get really annoyed and wipe them off the map completely.
The few exceptions are basically if it's really necessary for expansion (stuck on an island, surrounded by a bigger island with "issues" about zone of control), they attack an ally (generally I don't pursue the war unless I'm attacked, in which case I go into genocide mode like above), or if they build a wonder that is necessary to my survival. Or if my spaceship gets destroyed by a capital killer I take out my rage on the "Poor, lost souls in space" on the rest of terrestrial Earth.
I almost never allocate luxuries (yes, I've played on deity and won and yes, I used luxuries with great annoyance).

I like to build, build, build. If I need to acquire something I will go to war to get it.
And yes Provost it is almost the same. It Is the same.

I concur, far too few choices. I am a defensive isolationist builder. I build a few cities in prime locations, then strengthen their infrastucture and standing garrison. I use choke points and terrain to isolate myself. I am very protective of my territory, and quick to go to war with anyone who enchroaches on it... but otherwise I stay out of conflict and try to stay neutral. Also I do not attempt to "simulate history", but to write it anew. I like "what if" questions.

I usually avoid war until I've nearly finished the tech tree, then I switch to fundamentalism and release the whirlwind.
