You failed at getting peace with the North now, what makes you think you would have done better before? Mathias was at it for months. White peace was impossible. And with the SA being stupid, Highmarch was !@#$ed by the status quo. To keep at the war, with Vix constantly withholding troops and funding and being fickle asses, and the deep south no longer contributing squat... Highmarch would have fallen. Because everyone in the SA decided they had other priorities. We were bled out and left on our own.
We could have gone the Fallangard path of pursuing a senseless death. Or we could have sacrificed ourselves to grant the rest of SA peace, maybe. But by then, we were just sick of all of SA's !@#$.
Flipping was the best choice we could have made. And we did it at the best moment we could have.
As for Vix's treatment of Fallangard, yea... were you not there, or what? I've had Fallangard players tell me the same. About Scio being given back. About their slowness before attacking us. They were totally taken for granted and not treated with respect. Just as Vix was doing with us before.
