What kind of sock puppet are you?
Anyone remember the leader personality types from the original Master of Orion? In dom3, what are you?
Agressive - Attack, you know, your neighbors. How complicated is this?
Honourable - Attack those that break treaties or who your allies (if you have them) attack.
Pacifistic - Seldom start wars, at least until your master plan is ready.
Erratic - Keep 'em guessing.
Obviously this is situational - a pacifist with a very weak neighbor would presumably attack anyway, and you're going to attack *somebody*, eventually.
plus...
Diplomat - From the begining, concentrate your energy on coordinating with other players, in terms of troop movement/production, research, expansion, and allies. Will sacrifice one of the other goals below in order to establish good relations with one or more neighbors. Doesn't mean you want good terms with *all* your neighbors, though.
Expansionist - Concentrate on grabbing as many provinces as possible. Might be regarded as the opposite of diplomat.
Technologist - Concentrate on getting to higher level magic as quickly as possible. May or may not mean concentrating on research/construction.
Ecologist - Concentrate on getting your gem income up as early as possible. Might be regarded as the opposite of technologist.
Militarist - At the begining, try to build the largest/most powerful military possible, as quickly as possible. Often means heavy use of sacreds, but may also mean huge wads of other exemplary units (longbowmen or skinshifters, for example.)
Industrialist - Concentrate on building forts early, maybe for troops but generally to amass a large number of national mages.
Obviously (with the possible exception of diplomat) everyone does all of these things, it's just a question of emphasis, especially early in the game.
I would say that I'm an Agressive Diplomat.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
is "Dumb" an option?
I played Yomi with an imprisoned Cyclops, accidently left 250 points unused, due to thinking it was awake. I then went on to research blood magic for four turns, until I realized I wasn't playing Lanka. Finally, I ignored the actual Lankan armies massing on my borders, and declared war on Tien Chi. I lost on turn 23.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
I'd have to say Pacifistic Expansionist. But 'technologist' and 'ecologist' are hardly opposites, more often than not the top nations in gems and research are one in the same.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
Dunno, I may simply be erratic. But I am definately the opposite of a pacifistic diplomat, and I certainly need to improve as an industrialist.

Re: What kind of sock puppet are you?
Honorable eco-technologist with a dash of diplomacy. Have to work on that whole "master plan" thingy, seems I get to about turn 50 and go "now what?"
