War Policy

Pacifist
Pacifist is a war policy where the person decides to not build a millitary at the moment and rather build a big economy first, this is recommended when someone wants to do a mechanized army where it costs a lot of things but supply. Pacifist is good early game because of it's food bonus and tax bonus

Defensive
At the start of the game you're in defensive, defensive is good because it doesn't give any debuffs. Defensive is not good, highly advise limited war or pacifism over Defensive

Limited War
Limited war is where a country would put the needs of it's people behind the needs for the war effort, it gives a bit of an economy downgrade but increases the war effort required, this is good for mass-production early A110s where the thing requires a lot of metal or when you're gonna spam conscript/infantry

Total war
Total War is where you discard the needs of an economy for the need of the war effort, this is recommended ONLY when your country is being overrun by Russian tanks, otherwise do not use this, use pacifist. Total war also needs to be researched in the govern tab

Inhumane War
Inhumane War is where you completely discard the idea of an economy for a desperate attack or defense, IT IS NOT ADVISED TO STICK WITH THIS WAR POLICY, as this will destroy your economy. ONLY DO THIS WHEN YOUR COUNTRY IS BEING OVERRUN BY THE RUSSIAN TANKS AND AMERICAN MARINES, otherwise use pacifist
