A while ago I played this:
http://www.freeorion.org/forum/viewtopi ... 0a#p120329
Which I highly recommend to 4x lovers with too much free time. I'd like to discuss some mechanics to do with military/trade/diplomacy/etc.
As far as going without military, the game has a mechanism with piracy/military patrols. Basically if you try to run without a military, your trade ships are going to be hit, because you don't have military ships "patrolling" the space where your trade ships pass. Patrolling that in-between space, minimizes piracy. Most diplomacy works on trade diplomatics. The reason you are allied with people is because trade is more profitable than war. The game is built around diplomatics, and the only reason that works, is because the game is built around trade, and this is how real diplomacy works (instead of what LR calls diplomacy).
Look mostly I think its an interesting game, if you are looking for new ideas about how to handle mechanics, or maybe you have too much free time and actually want to play.
