Foreword and Author Notes

Heavily based and inspired by my multiple gameplays of Sid Meier's Civilization V

War never changes. It is the only constant event in the world of Meier. It is inevitable. Tensions can only grow so far, after all.

War destroys. It kills. It wrecks. It divides. It solves nothing.

But amidst the chaos, various characters from historical civilizations have lived to tell the tale. To save a friend; to mourn one; to show no mercy for an enemy; and to look at how war truly is:

A soldier's nightmare and a politician's game.
