As would I, but I find it works best when you have a legitimate in game reason for doing so. Just for the fun of it doesn't really work to most people... sad as it is...
Well yea, The RP with out-side realms can spark something that could force battles and hurt feelings, all IC.
It just takes time in doing so.
And is alot of grind for just a small number of battles that end up in a cease-fire and then peace because the SENATE formed a treaty and thinks peace is the best thing.
I'm pro encouraging war on EC, we need a IC reason for making the rascal peace-breeder characters start fighting.
Something with magic or three new red moons or something.
Or someone could get assassinated... always an option.
