The war Satan waged is not against God; he knows very well that he lost from day 1.
Satan's goal is to take as much humans as he can to hell with him.
When he rebelled against God's decision to create Adam; Satan was cursed, doomed and promised hell instantly:
Satan's move is not a war. It's a dragging of as many humans as he can to hell with him. He is a psychopath who is also a racist.
He commit the first act of racism ever, after all. And racism is what drove him mad. His problem is with us mainly.
God gave him his demand to test us. That's how the test's pillars stand firm:
-God created us
-Satan felt jealous just like any racist, and decided to wage war on humans
-God banished him from heaven
-The first humans still decided to listen to Satan, even though he was fooling them
-God banished humans too from heaven, so that we don't enter heaven again until we prove that we are worthy.
Now TBH; Satan knew from day 1 that he will go to hell.
If you want to rule with the "Heathen" way that glorifies Satan and picture things like there's a war between heaven and earth; that's up to you.
Personally I believe in the Islamic scenario to be the real one.

Quote:Sura 17, The Quran:
( 61 ) And [mention] when We said to the angles, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Satan. He said, "Should I prostrate to one You created from clay?"
( 62 ) [Satan] said, "Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few."
( 63 ) [Allah] said, "Go, for whoever of them follows you, indeed Hell will be the recompense of you - an ample recompense.
( 64 ) And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion.
( 65 ) Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.
