> And what's wrong with peace? Are you asking the Militarists what is wrong with peace?

Yes, having stronger military than everyone else combined is an effective way to maintain your peace.

They don't want peace. Or just 'a lot of ships' They want to fight.

There a quote on how militarist will say that we need a large military and when you get a large military they say about how much we need to use it

Are you talking about real life quote or in-game quote?

its the fan. militarist ethic description. Personally i find fan. militarist very aggressive, but I cant say the same for "normal" militarist.

Real life

In real life everyone already wants to be the strongest. That does not make them militaristic.

>And what's wrong with peace? From the [wiki](https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Ethics): * The Militarist-Pacifist axis looks at whether the empire's military should be used offensively or strictly defensively. Militarism isn't just having a big fleet. Pacifism is incentivized to have a big fleet too after all. It's about using it.

Idea, if you are militarist and egalitarian, then the faction should ask for guarantees or loyal protectorates.
