#war <nation> <nation>
I ran across NT Jedi's request in the Mapper Wishlist to have the opposite of #ally by being able to create an automatic war between two nations. (AI's only)

My brain farted out that I can drop an army belonging to nation1 into the home province of nation2. Or give them each a province next door to the other. Or even a bunch of scouts I think will serve the need. Im not sure but I THINK that once a war is started by the AI, it stays started?

As an interesting sidenote, I have accidentally mistyped the nation number for an added army which created situations where one nations capital starts off being sieged by another nation. I havent come up with a scenario for that but maybe someone else will.

Edit:
One thought maybe using the "Special Monsters" nations number to create a "Arcos has come under siege by horrors. Rush to their aid."

Edit2:
Or how about victory points in each capital. And a scenario of "Lanka is going to WIN! Lanka has a large sieging force in every capital except yours. You must rush to save as many as possible for if Lanka gains them then you cannot survive."

Edit3:
This is getting nuts. I need to quit. Anyway, how about an MP game where a large standardized army of knights and bowmen is dropped into everyones capital and randomly assigned to one of the other players. Everyone starts out under seige by someone else.
