Well what do you think about it? Can total war be achieved or is war just a state between peace? Will there always be someone who starts coexistance?

I don't like war beacuse it means I have to risk four more cards and I could lose an ace. :(

There have so far been several simulations of total war, like C&C, which is a global conflict between China, middle east and America.

no it is not even in Generals China helps America and is extremely helpful towards Europe (albeit nuking much of the continent in the process)
Though it does explain why most NS’ers seem to view terrorism as some sort of single entity of Islam

There's a bit in 'World War Z' where the author is "interviewing" a general who says that part of the reason why the zombies were so successful is because they were capable of Total War.
Zombies can, and will, keep on crawling after you forever, but human beings occassionally have to sleep, and eat, and do a thousand other things that are not directly related to the war effort. In this sense, human beings are incapable of Total War.

NOOO! You bastard, how could you!? Johnny had a girlfriend, and he'd just been married the day before he left his home in the territory of Greenland to fortify to a position in Iceland before the main assault.
Now he'll never know another turn, never go home, never have a family of littler plastic men, never get to grow old into a bright red cannon.
When will this cursed war ever end?! 1-8 hours, you say? Oh, OK then.

Closer to one hour, if I could just get Iceland back. Then I'd get the extra mans from having all of Europe. But after ten turns and no Risk cards, I'm beginning to realize just how hard Hitler and Napoleon had it. I also need Ukraine back from those dammed commies.

(from playing generals and zero hour and reading the gamesites and manuals)
Only to deal with terrorism, during the game the Chinese commit war crimes, slaughter civs mercilessly, force people to cheer when they win and being communist are probably glad America lost and pulled out, them being capitolistic and all.

Generals sucked balls. It was Starcraft in a modern setting with the C&C title slapped on for money. Me, I'm in the midst of playing through Red Alert once more. Good times. Iffy about Tiberium Wars. The old sidebar and storyline back is good. Joe fucking Kucan reprising the role of Kane was a godsend. I may actually buy the game.
*cough*
Uh, real war, right. Well, limited warfare leads to shit like Vietnam and Iraq, so to hell with it. Total warfare is the only way to go.
Zombies? Man, have you never read the Zombie survival handbook? Without any of that "food and rest" that makes us weaker in the short run, they start falling apart. Give me a .22, machete, some vitals, and a nice tall building and I'll take care of your zombies. Someone to watch my back when I'm taking a leak on a zombie or sleeping would be good, too.

StarCraft with a modern setting? I don't think so. In Starcraft you can't run people over with vehicles, there were no special ability generals and only terrans had long range weapons, plus the Chinese who allied with the Americans didn't turn on them, they just simply took over when the US pulled out.

War is just another word for diplomacy by force of arms. "I call this aggressive negotiations."
