  1. A prince should therefore have no other aim or thought, nor take up any other thing for his study but war and it organization and discipline, for that is the only art that is necessary to one who commands.

  9. No not appropriate. Machiavelli's advice in The Prince was intended for a leader attempting to unite the Italian city-states under one rule. This is a game, and its construct is demonstrably different from medieval Italy.

    To advise a player, in a game, to adopt the unscrupulous tactics of Machiavelli's Prince, is ridiculous. There is no "endgame" whereby the pinnacle of achievement is a united community under a benevolent monarch.

  10. Commanders who always prepare for war will fail to make peace; peace will always seem like a lie whose purpose is to breed complacency.
