As for the empire (and the mede dynast/family) and how they handled the Great war.

It all seems very fishy to me, there at the end of the war, the AD was in the same position as the empire (as evidenced later by the Dominions failure to hold even one imperial province handed to them on a platter.) and could not have pressed on just like the empire could not have.

Unless titus mede II had ulterior motives, he would have dug in and go on the defensive and wait for terms that were not the exact same terms he went to war to avoid accepting.

Since that is not what he did, I feel the Great war was lost and bungled on purpose.
