What kind of game is this?

I think the basis is a war game every t2 ressources can be used only for war units at this time.

I think since you have neighbors you must at least form some diplomacy with them (don't attack me and I won't attack you). If you feel trade is your game then you have to get customers. I see this as a diplomacy game. I'll give you such and such for such and such. If the person doesn't wanna trade with you, you can offer them such and such for free... maybe a number of times till they feel like they owe you. If they are attacking you, you can offer goods for free as well till they stop. The question becomes if they never stop... what then... the ultimate form of diplomacy is saying stop... or Ill cause you some sort of harm.

I understand your post and yet provide an example where I say that diplomacy rules the books. To go against me in a meaningful way you should provide an example where diplomacy is not the game.

its alot of singing, dancing, hula hooping, and juggling....rolls eyes....its a free online game....have fun! play it as you want!

Oh god - are we really back onto this argument again - please keep judging people in real life based on their actions in game.
