War: Wisdom Required In

A wise man scales the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.

Only with sound guidance should you wage war, and victory lies in a multitude of counselors.

And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.
