    My question is why would the empire or beastmen tribes attack the hamlets, they are pretty much nothings. Hardly worth the time.

    Yea. I think it is clear that the lore of this game or story is kind of all over the place. I guess one explanation for the empire attacking is to distract us while they prepare Meteor. But from the few CSs we have seen it looks like there is dissent within the empire regarding the use of Meteor. So I doubt the attacks are an effort to distract or that would imply they are all on board for the Meteor approach, which doesn't seem to be the case.

    The beastmen, even less sure about. However, we have been killing or fighting their primals lately. They might be pissed about that. Not sure why they would attack hamlets though...

    Strategic foothold, perhaps? From what I remember, Hamlet Defense will be against beast tribes and not Garleans so they may just be looking to spread out.

    They still receive their information from Tanaka.

    If you remember FFXIs campaign or even the Crystal War backstory, you never attack anything 'for no reason'. For example Jugner was a very strategic location to have control over because it's in sandoria's backyard as well as the new orcish stronghold.
