>>91175890>Conquest. Seems like that would fall under War.A common mistaken assumption.
Conquest can be dominating your opponents without drawing your sword because you're simply too legit to be opposed.
I believe it's implied that because Conquest can be or is construed as the Messiah upon its arrival most will simply just follow or bow to it without resistance. It's not necessarily trying to do this like the anti-christ figure, but it can be construed to be that as well. It's really muddy. Which I guess could be the point.
Anyway, War on the other hand can happen without any intention of conquest, you may just want to fight the opposition because of differences. War needs nothing from its enemies, not their allegiance or ability to stay out of the way.
The way I remember the difference is this. Conquest happens when half the nations band under a common idea without a fight, War happens when the other half band against the prior half.
