Could nations not at war use some of their war-orders for peaceful actions? I don't see how a nation at war can do MORE - real life seems to scream the opposite is true, with the war effort taking up resources that could be used elsewhere.
Well, on the original WiR the war-orders were used only for war-related issues, like movimentation of the armies and navies, propaganda, etc....
I have a question: Is all correspondence in the game topic public? I.e. do I need to send private letters through PM?
No, it's like : PMs = Letters
