[quote=@Dead Cruiser] My internet has been super unreliable lately, sorry for my absence. Though I would ask if we can move past this introductory battle scene sometime soon, and get along with the plot. I can see the victorious invaders attempting some sort of gunboat diplomacy against the Empire. [/quote] Issok mate. As for the intro fighting, don't worry, the battle shouldn't take too long (I hope). As for the aftermath, there isn't going to be an actual peace as much as there's going to be a ceasefire. Like I've said before (I think), the Empire is split on wether to surrender or keep fighting. The Emperor is currently pro-peace but the senate and the heir to the throne is pro-war so some of the plot is going to be trying to locate the capital to attempt negotiations while also just exploring the world of Deaus. If people have their own ideas they're free to run it by me.
