  1. You know what doesn't kill civilians? Peace.

  2.  @BaDArxz  I'm not familiar with that game, but I am with SimCity, Anno 1404, and such. The more realistic the game, the more you see that peace is essential for farming, industry, trade, and especially transport. You don't even make arms on the battlefield; Stalin moved his tank factories East of the Urals. (Staligrad was making tanks in a warzone, but that must've been hell.)

  3.  @BaDArxz  I just watched this video on that game https://youtu.be/QDog3MzydJE If that's all it is, there's no "business" in it. A factory has an optimal production rate. If a shell factoy makes 200 shells/month, it's almost impossible to switch to making 5,000 shells/month. The factory isn't big enough for all the extra people. Weapons are mostly made at a steady rate, and mostly in peacetime. It's easier to find a buyer for weapons in wartime, for sure, but the stability of the value of money itself depends on peace. Gold and silver are preferred, because their value is more stable.

  4. The western world is being disarmed and disabled for a war with China, I expect.
