Jokes aside though, wouldn't that just turn into...the same Empire scenario we've had for years? Ie "more samey" as he put it for other things.
I think it'd have to be a fairly popular movement - maybe Garlemald's pro monarchy factions holds onto a few provinces we hadn't been to and rebuilds thier power base. Maybe they have allies in other nations helping them (a member of the syndicate who misses the good old days of war profiteering?) I think it could work, and I'm not super married to the idea or anything.

I do agree it runs the risk of just seeming like a rehash, which is why I'd want them to wait a few expansions before doing it, give the player base long enough to start looking back as the Empire As Villians with some nostalgia.
