I would disagree mike. I think what you just posted proves that it is more a netting game than a war game.


All of these quotes imply building a stronger economy to be succesful. AKA netting.
"take control of your nation's military and economy"
"Execute attack strategies to relieve opponents of their resources and land"
"Strategically invest in technology to outpace the economies of other countries"
"Conduct military operations, govern your country and build your empire."


These quotes could imply killing
'Command your country's military to attack and defend against your enemies'

But this also includes LGing

Never once does it say. Kill your opponent. Remove your opponents civillian. Crush the opponents population.

It all suggests outgrowing your enemies through your economy and acquiring your enemies resources.
