Well, the campaign ends at a static situation; at the beginning, none of the factions are in control of any of the features. At the end, we're all too exhausted to fight more, for at least a while. The issue is not whether or not the Paktaliya are crushed forever; the issue is what they control. If they control nothing, they are extinct; they don't even own Society and Conscience by the end, they're forgotten or remembered only as a nuisance, for instance. But if they control Society and Conscience, they'll be remembered (as the stakes set dictate).
if it were a scenario of a couple armies with set numbers and rules, it'd be different. terrorism really never really stops.
Nah, the stakes settle that issue. Like, if the Emily's Rasiliya win S&C,
The people of Turkut will embrace the modernizing culture of the Rasil empire and abandon their backward and supersitious ways.
... whereas, if I win that dimension,
a planetwide Paktali movement is started from our glowing example.
(though this was written when I thought everything was taking place on one planet; since it's not, the Pakta movement spreads across the galaxy or solar system or whatever we've got at the largest scale)
These issues will be settled by the end.
