If he was going to do this anyways, what exactly was the point in going to the First at all?
I attribute a lot of it to the 'missing' expansion. Supposedly the finale was meant to be in 7.0 or even 8.0 which suggests that large swathes of territory would need to be traversed to get there - and unfortunately, Garlemald appears to have drawn the short straw on that front. Which is a shame, since I found the Russian and Roman influences to be pretty cool and it would have been nice to explore some of the provinces that didn't want to break away from the Empire.
