Maybe they employed the Ankh-Morpork approach, best summed up by that city’s anthem:

When dragons belch and hippos flee
My thoughts, Ankh-Morpork, are of thee
Let others boast of martial dash
For we have boldly fought with cash
We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes.
We own all your generals - touch us and you’ll lose.

Morporkia! Morporkia!
Morporkia owns the day!
We can rule you wholesale
Touch us and you’ll pay.

We bankrupt all invaders,
We sell them souvenirs,

We ner ner ner ner ner ner by the ears,
Er ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner,
Ner ner ner ner ner ner, ner ner ner ner ner,
Ner your gleaming swords, we mortgaged to the hilt.
Morporkia! Morporkia!
Ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner ner
We can rule you wholesale
Credit where it’s due
.

Only three-quarters tonngue-in-cheek here.

We know very little about the Harrapans. Maybe they didn’t really avoid war, but had the habit of recycling weapons when they were not needed. They did not leave behind any writing either, so we still do not know their language.

re: #3 Eigth Immortal

that could well be the case, and maybe even if they were more war like they appear to be, maybe they had some kind of Taboo against depicting combat in their art for one reason or another.
