KOTOR 2, the hologram asked me what I would do if I received Intel about incoming invasion. And the decision is surprisingly deep.
Because if I evaluated the city, I missed the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the enemy, enemies would know there is a spy and they would likely catch my high valued informants. The war would last longer and lose more people and money.
But, if I took the opportunity to take a decisive blow and pretending I don't know about the incoming invasion. While I sacrifice a few people to save more people in the long run, my reputation is to protect the people would be questioned. So, may face two battles, at home or at the front line.
A war is not only about skillfulness, it is also about politics and rhetorics. Whcuh reminded me of the story of the three kingdoms, the so called Heroric three brothers, the oldest brother is actually a super manipulative ambitious cheap ass leader. A perfect wolf in sheep's clothing. And the story always advertised him as hero when he is actually the villan. No matter how good a leader on the other side is, once they lost the propaganda, they lost their war.
