Yeah, the big driver is the fact that there's a lot of OW nobles who spend a -lot- of time slagging Anatole, with the influx of Cathayian nobles, that's where I see the pressure building.
Anyway, Arcaea has to get things settled up before it can go through it's crysallis, and that means deciding on if any peace treaty it gets (if it can't conquer) with Arcachon is worth spit (it's probably not), so it's a long, slogging T.O. still to come.
It is quite possible for Arcaea to complete its other plans while still at war with Arcachon. I had its disadvantages, but it certainly is doable.
