Prefered Style of play?

[Cyrien]

Hrmmm... just had a bit of curiosity looking through SE4 sites, the strategies posted on them and etc...

So my question is this...

How do you play? Do you play to win? Do you play to escape reality? (I am the ultimate soandso emperor bow before my will!) Do you play for a challenge? Boredom? What motivates you to play the most.... other than just plain having a good time... lets assume everyone is enjoying themself if they care enough to post.

Me... hrmm... I play for a challenge (no tactical combat here) and to escape reality... it is so hard planning the complete downfall of a species that I find your games an entertaining diVersion and escape.

I play for the escape and the thought of controlling a interstellar alliace

but I usually don't get a lot of free time anymore, so I just play small maps, lots of AI's and try to give as good as I take

I play for my evil dark side!

I play it ebcause it is one of the few games that allows me to do super evil tings (genocide, slavery, big explosions, wars) without having to answer to anyone...

But soon... SOON!!!

I shall rule this world and do what I please...

Conquest is easy. It's running the damn thing that is hard. Too bad SE4 doesn't do a better job of revolution, strife and Empire Discontent in general. Ah well.

I have always been rather good at conquest... but then it isn't really that hard. I have always prefered to have someone else have the headache of running it. Normally I conquer and then just leave and tell them they can go back to the way they were. They never listen though... *sigh* Maybe this time...

I play when I am bored already. The experience is its own reward and simultaneously reduces boredom.
