War game or not?

   I totally agree that a major part of Illy seems to be geared towards war.  From my point of view that doesn't seem to be the major issue so much as a really obvious attempt to pursue a smear campaign against a certain confed.  I have no problem getting attacked or even getting destroyed.  It is just a game.  But I have a problem with half baked attempts to justify actions in order to sway public opinion in order to self justify even further actions.
Just my 2c

	I'm reading many people who say this is not a war game. I think this is not ONLY a wargame but its CORE IS a strategic wargame for sure. The economy is basad on troops used, without troops killed there would not been any economy at all (no need of anything) and the game would have died in less than 6months. Just imagine a bug where you can't do any military movement for a year.... That's why without real wars devs added tournments. And dimplomacy if not for fear of attacks would not be needed and so lot less developped, just see players activities under wars or tournments.... The map too would not be needed if not for a military strategic point of view... A game designed not as a wargame is lot different, would involve lot of resource consumed by cities, population managment, more like sim-city. Opinions?
