Military

Squads, weapons, armor, defenses, sieges, war animals and megaproject weapons.

A militia that exists only after the siege starts is a memorial project.

Weapon choice should match material access, enemy type and training plan.

Armor quality and material can decide whether a soldier becomes a veteran or a name on a slab.

Defenses buy time, shape enemy movement and reduce how often heroism is required.

Sieges test logistics first and bravery second.

Animals can scout, screen, bite and die usefully if trained and placed well.

Lava moats and atom smashers are engineering answers to military questions.
