Within a class you can maintain lots of internal states and make it
easily changable by other threads. Sure, you could archive this with
functions, but IMHO it's not pythonic. But for simple cases both would
suffice.

povos sem as atacar e destrói os estados dos outros povos sem lutas
prolongadas. Deve lutar sob o Céu com o propósito primordial da
'preservação'. Desse modo suas armas não se embotarão, e os ganhos
poderão ser preservados. Essa é a estratégia para planejar ofensivas."
