![]() ![]() You shoot for one of the peaceful victories, but cannot go to war. In the first three installments this was a Self-Imposed Challenge, but since Civilization IV its also an official game option. ![]() In a story now lost to the archives, someone once won a game of Civ 3 without building a single military unit.(This is a significantly more impressive achievement than just "never fight any battles" - the AI is able to recognise weakly defended targets and attack them opportunistically.) It was a diplomatic victory, if you're wondering. Endless Space encourages this with an achievement that is rewarded for winning a game without ever placing a weapons module on a ship (bar the Starting Units).However, due to either an oversight or intentional exception, planetary invasion modules don't count as weapons, allowing Amoeba ships covered in defenses but with no "weapons" to invade and annex other empires' planets. Endless Legend offers an achievement for winning the game as the Drakken (a faction which favors diplomacy) without ever being at war with another player.Stellaris has the Pacifist and Fanatical Pacifist ethos.The first level locks you into liberation wars and defensive wars (You can only wage war to make your war-goal planets into a new nation that follows your ethos, stop atrocities like purges, humiliate the target empire, or to defend yourself). Fanatical Pacifists can only wage defensive wars, which means someone must declare war on them they can't be the aggressor for any reason. In exchange for taking on this handicap, Pacifist empires can support a larger number of people without running into managerial issues and have a boost to the stability of their planets (because their people are more inclined to live peacefully with each other), and throw Peace Festivals to make their people happy. Infamous Second Son: It is entirely possible to make it through almost the whole game without killing a single person yourself, relying entirely on subduing people.It's impossible to subdue anyone during that scene. Delsin is so enraged that he obliterates every trooper in his way. It can start to bleed into Technical Pacifist, though. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past makes this easier than other games in the series because of two factors: The Magic Cape item, and the fact that the game doesn't require you to Kill Enemies to Open the way out as much as other games in the series.The Ghandi bonus in the first two games of the The Journeyman Project series is awarded if you defeat your enemies with non-lethal force, which gives you extra points.Players have found ways to complete certain Assassin's Creed games with a minimum of blood on their hands.It's possible to complete a game this way too. ![]() One standout example is Assassin's Creed: Odyssey where the player's kill score note which normally reaches into the high thousands, if not above ten thousand per playthrough can be kept at near zero by letting the misthios' Animal Companion Ikaros do most of the necessary killing for them. In situations where this doesn't work, like in conquest battles, paralyzing arrows can be used to neutralize enemies nonlethally. Players on a New Game Plus run can also equip the legendary Pilgrim armor set to make themselves invisible indefinitely and just sneak past the majority of enemies in the game. ![]()
