YES! YES! YES! Finally someone who has put it into simple terms for the simple people that immediately think short term! I can not love this blog enough, this is a perfect article on the war in Skyrim. Screw "Beliefs" or "Tradition" or ''"Honour". ''If you want something done for the good of everyone, you think long term while trying to minimize losses short term. I'm not saying the Empire is perfect, but it's a damn good place to start. Thank you for writing this.
