The Garlean Empire has consistently shown itself to be a threat to the peace, freedom, and/or well-being of others. By those tokens alone I cannot support their actions. That said, I am not opposed to a narrative from their viewpoint - far from it, I like being given different angles to view things from so that I can think and consider. I've... considered the Imperial merits we've been shown for quite some time, but again, as long as the Empire shows itself to be a threat to the peace, freedom, and/or well-being of others, I cannot agree with its ideology. Even if a campaign is offered from its point of view.

That's my final stance on the issue barring future developments. I'm tired of arguing about it.

Once we got to Gyr Abania and met with more reasonable Resistance leaders, the Ala Mhigans showed themselves very willing to accept Alliance aid. The Ala Mhigans who did not want to rise up against the Empire had been browbeat or physically beat into submission, or otherwise indoctrinated against Ala Mhigan independence. While many were unwilling to rise up against the Empire for perfectly understandable reasons, they still desired independence from the Empire and I saw no reason not to try and grant it to them, violently if need be.

Or, I guess we could do this...


... figuratively speaking, of course. (/sarcasm, kind of.)
