And did you never experience an early rush that ended in bitter early war that no side could win???
In diplo game you have the option to negotiate peace and look 4 an easier target but in non-diplo you're stuck and most likely will lose the game.
I'd add to your suggestion that it pays to be aggressive when the expected war is not going to be fair. When you have a big advantage.
Naturally, to each his own but I personally like graphs on games with or w/o diplo. I think I'll more or less stick to those in the future
