What if the feud is over land?
Something I explained to my kids: a feud is in a sense the opposite of a war. In war the goal is to take territory and only incidentally to kill people. (If the enemy surrenders, so much the better.) Whereas in a feud the goal is to kill people rather than to take anything.

Retaliations(killings) are the engines that drive feuds.

Interesting. By this definition all the ‘wars’ we’ve fought in the last few decades have been feuds. “War is the continuation of politics by other means“

War = Directed violence for the purpose of achieving a political objective Feud = Emotional catharsis through directed violence

He's careful to qualify that statement with "For more than a century," implying that before that it wasn't. This is an eyeblink in the history of warfare. And it's only because troops had become disciplined. In preindustrial times battles were usually won when one side fled.
