There was one game M.A.X. I dont know if you played it, it was a great TBS and it was quite tough too...

Heroes of might and magic, Civlization, Age of wonders I & II. Lords of magic etc. Played them all at one point.

 

We might not like TBS too much (slow!), but I think older people with slower reflexes really do appreciate them. I'll never see an 80 year old tank rushing in command and conquer while screaming 'PWNAGE!' at the kid he's playing against. It's more likely I'll see him playing Civ, trying to decide for 15 minutes whether fishing or mining is more important for his economy.

Well, if you like playing them, you will eventually get good at them. It takes a while to adjust to figure out effective strategies for the individual game; the ones that mainly focus on combat are the easiest to figure out.

Aye. I think that neither my mum or me ever had diplomatic victory in civilization. She tries to be peaceful until she's like 'F*ck it' and nukes the persians just to see the special effects xD

i just now won the diplomatic victory for the first time on CIV4.i normally just attack everyone and that's why i'm not good at them.

Attacking, offence, and generally being a warmonger is always better and faster.

I can usually rush a player or two before we even reach the start of history (0 AD)

I achieved Diplomatic victory in Civ., but it was difficult. I only accomplished it through luck though for the following reasons: I was playing a Continents map and due to map generation, my coastal cities had too low production to produce ships quickly, I did not want to conquer a near by nation since they were consistently friendly and spread out to far to completely annihilate, and finally I failed to achieve domination victory by only a few percentage points and needed a several points before starting another war to heal my military.

 

I too usually eliminate a player by then, and if I had a good start I could eliminate another, but I chose to play it safe and spend a century or two to keep a technological advantage. The key to being a warmonger in the game is to focus on one nation at a time and make sure your "victim" will not be missed and will be completely eliminated and of course to make sure your military is top of the line.
