Who's a conquerer out there? I know I am, I'm overjoyed to go into battle against an enemy, even if it takes me a while to get out of my peaceful moods.

It depends. Towards the end of the game I like to attack, but only if I have a sizeable advantage. In the beginning of the game I like to be peaceful and buildup that technological advantage.

If people attack or steal from me unprovoked, like some of them do (), I generally don't stop attacking until their civilization has been wiped out. They serve as a nice example to the rest of the Civs who would do them same

I always have technology stolen from me once I make it to a point where I'm just ahead from them when it comes to tech and all of a sudden I've got spies running amok everywhere.

It's hard to catch them and turn them back when you built up roads in your cities and your troops are trying to cut them off. =/

If you've got units or production to spare, a wall of units (Mech. Inf. for preference), in fortresses separating them from your side of the continent does wonders to keep them out. Just beware of bribes, a single unit can be bribed, but stacked units are immune.

Pick an appropriate choke point (Taking into account diagonal moves by units which can move freely, such as diplomats), and it shouldn't take too many to pull off.

I've managed to do that once or twice. I did it to the vikings early on after a short war we had. It left them with Tronjheim, so I was willing to just cut off the little bit of landmass he was hiding on.

Yes i destroy them anyway i can, i love doing it, Civ 2 gives me that ability, i can exterminate much easier than in later civ games

Ugh, was playing and remembered why I never managed to wipe out my enemies in one go. My ministers had this nasty habit of going ahead and signing treaties behind my back without me having a say in it.

Happened twice in my game. Almost took out the Romans. Almost. Then almost took out the Aztecs. My ministers stopped me and both of them managed to rebuild their remaining cities.

I own like half the cities on the map, so I ended up being fine with it. =D
