Message:
If your opponent is too weak to respond, you win.
If your opponent matches your lethality, you must hit them first.
If they are better than you, it doesn't matter, you are dead (unless you get lucky).
I'm not recommending it in real life. Just stating the obvious.
That's why a successful civilization emphasizes morality.
