Going to war generally means a lot of money getting wasted, a lot of people getting killed and a lot of bereaved young fiancés standing around on clifftops wearing tattered wedding dresses, gazing hopefully into the middle distance and going completely batty.īut when a society has had time to fester and become big, rich and stupid enough, it actually starts to enjoy a good war.

Every major civilization can agree that while all they're doing is trying to keep everyone fed and building enough triremes to fend off randomly spawning barbarians, wars are very annoying.
