I'm a firm believer in Realpolitik. That's the same reason we took the regions of Zhongyuan and Bohai from Morek Empire while giving our northern regions to Antiqualia. So taking a region that provides to a uniting symbol to all Astroists while Astrum is too busy to defend it is also within my aims.
Oh I totally agree it's completely fitting and IC. I honestly wish more wars were fought over border regions and less of these conquer and divide the enemey total wars. Especially when one side is willing to drag it out for multiple years because they can and are bored.
If wars were only fought for bravery... There would be so many foolish wars.
... most wars in BM are fought because people get bored :p
