How do I avoid getting diplomatically penalised for being militaristic?
The AI often claims that I am militaristic before I even build my first military unit! Is it because I am building too many colony ships or is it from colonizing worlds in other civs influence? Or something else?
This lead to a rather unfortunate game where I attempted a diplomatic victory with the Alterans, only to get :
-militaristic, -moral alignment, --military strength, -close borders, -influence. All from the first 10-20 turns or so.
Needless to say, that game didn't go so well...
