In my first playthrough of humankind opendev I was originally a society with a minimal army doctrine.... until the Celts invaded.... then I quickly raised a powerful army, took his army and wiped his civ from existence, then we started vassalizing(making a puppet country) or conquering every one of our allies and neighbors(who totally betrayed me by the way) and began to militarily and economically dominate for the rest of the game! You know, its always that one civ in a game that pushes you over. Just one bad turn to reduce a peaceful civ to warmongering
