  1. Well, the reasons for war have always been around, and will continue to be around for the foreseeable future. --Differences in Wealth between people(s). A poor nation wants to invade a rich nation, or take it's technology, or simply expand it's own power base to threaten other countries, or to ward off potential enemies. Whenever there is a riot, the rioters usually go after business or wealthy people in part because of the disparity, but of course greed. The concept of property is an entirely human invention, and unfortunately it does cause division. Even if resources are evenly distributed and shared, eventually when a shortage, either from drainage, or an overpopulation will be certain. Currently the most feared resource is nuclear energy, but in the future, you'd be surprised as we fight over the growing scarcity of clean water. --Resources that we clamor and fight over, such as land, water, food, oil. The rarer, the more greedily we try to take it. An ally today can suddenly become an enemy because they discovered oil, and wouldn't allow you to prospect. Now you have invaded and taken their land by force. --Ideologies can lead to war. Mostly forced ideologies are the cause. As one group will try to control another. Ideologies follow belief in how the world should be, some justified, others not. Everything operates on a certain logic, the logic can be sensible or flawed. But ultimately, if it's an attractive enough change people will fight for that ideology. Or fight to preserve an existing one. --Religion, same as Ideologies. Except, with religion, the way you worship changes over time, and with that new problems emerge. One doesn't need a reason, so long as it's preached to do so. When it comes down to it, religion is a mix of control and racial ignorance. --Racial ignorance. Ignorance plus social race hierarchy are a known poison to society. Genocide has been a long thing in human history. Even the bible shows Jews both committing and suffering genocide in it's long origins. The war against the philistines was a genocide, much like the enemies against their realities in ancient babylonia wanted to ethnically cleanse the strange tribe who worshipped an invisible god. Unless the above are removed, or lessened to a universally acceptable level there will always be some conflict. However, with enough effort. War can be eliminated, at least on paper.

  2. As this is a new line and scale I'm all for getting G2,G3 along with G1. Now don't get me wrong I'd go deep with this if they are willing and hope to get a bunch of characters that either haven't been made before or only done once or twice including G0,G2f, Apollon, Aptom's first form and a bunch of Zoanoids.

  3. ha ha.. well I do believe it is possible for this kind of ideal to spread. mass information dissemination leads to more deeper understanding. I think it is now possible for the human race to become more harmonious. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it's possible. The ones at the top of the tree, those are the ones who will resist, will find it more difficult to integrate. the ones at the bottom, the ones who end up as drug addicts, thieves, etc, these are usually the most able to change if only given a chance. some of the most genuine people I have met are people who come from a really dodgy background.
