War is the balance. If there was no war, this would be sims. The name of this game is politics and war.... Cause and effect.
Think of a waxed floor... If noone walks on it, it stays clean... But unused... Pointless. Yes you can look at it... But you could put something other than floor there in that case. So you wax a floor to protect it, so it can handle what comes its way... Eventually it needs some love... Eventually it needs more than just some love... So u strip it... Clean it.... Out with all the old grimey filth... Then once its clean... You wax it again... Rinse... Repeat.... Its beautiful.
