A pacifist race?

If you have victory conditions you win that way. If not then you go until you have a fleet of X with allegiance subverters blocking each homeworld with all the rest in your posession and then say ok I won and stop playing..

It might be possible to make the game winnable in this style, by modifying the AI diplomacy files. As things are currently, any AI will get angry at you just for being larger. Now for a certain type of psychology that makes sense. The militarist always regards anyone stronger as a threat. But for other types this is not so. 'Friendly' races ought to be interested in getting into treaty relations with larger and more powerful empires as long as those larger empires are not aggressive. If the AI would react properly to requests for help you could even get them to fight the aggressive ones for you.

As the AI gets more sophisticated maybe it will be possible to win a "cultural" campaign instead of a military one.

And PPP would be a decidning factor of course since a homeworld can't be PPP'd how would you win?

get them to surrender of fcourse

and i would like to see an AI like Baron described, it would make a lot more sense.
