	War - What is it good for? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

In SP, war can be very profitable, there often is no other way to increase population, shield and gold production. However, Lux razed cities left and right. Just a word to the wise.

So, ND had more land to settle...

Are you sure you're on the right (PTWDG) team

There is plenty of room for everyone. NDs UU is obsolete, and I like our civs traits better, but I have started to study German.

What does ND's UU have to do with the game?

absolutely nothing

to the thread title and that last post (obscure Seinfeld reference too)

anyways if we find ourselves without sufficient room to expand, war can be useful. but otherwise we can gain more with good diplomacy.

If we have enough space to expand why would we want to engage in war in the first place? Isnt that what war is about? expanding?

The only other reason I could think of is looting and plundering their wealth and women. (Which you can do by demanding tribute after peace treaty )

P.S ND is arabs in both PTW and IDG game. They didnt get to their UU yet.

People seem to forget that War tends to result in the elimination of a competator.

War in the Team Game resulted in Neu Dem solidifying themselves as the strongest power on the continent, removing a competator, and giving themselves ample land to expand into.

War seemed to be very good for them.

It was good if the land is adjacent to theirs and will not result in much corruption. The continent is probably small enough to avoid much corruption. Esp in better goverments.

If we find ourselves with a neighbor that close then war can be good.

But there is no reason to go clear accross a large continent to get their land. First you have to factor in the time to build all the units. Then the time to move all those units accross a large continent. And then the time to rebuild with the high corruption.

In any case, we'll wait and see how close our neighbors are- if we have any.
