teh chaledonians have a weird relationshops with the natural world of OTHER nations. as much as they recognise that to maintain their own warfooting t ey need to maintain a ecological balance, they also understand that the same is true for nations with whom they are at war. to win a war, nobody is ruling any tactics out, so the chaledonians who are experts at maintaining balance are also experts at disrupting balance. when they conquer the territory and defeat their enemies, they can replant.
