i think alot of warfare began not with cities, but with herders,vs farmers.
if u are a pastora;ist, you ned to keep your heards moving for grazing
lands, and need to keep others from stealing your animals.
If you are a farmer you need to keep the herds off of your farm land....
youll find pastoral societies tend to be more martial than horticultural
and agricultural ones....
