So it's kinda hard to simulate. For example, a war today in
France would probably mean bad consequences on french economy.
It's true that sometimes war can mean increase of production. So
I don't know how to connect those two. Maybe do nothing? But the
fact that in Civilization, war is bad in republic/democracy was
pretty cool. It's normal that a socially advanced civilization
dislikes war, IMHO. But it clashes with my ambition to have "nice
war handling" in human beings.
