Looking through Dominions Divided again, and taking together all the great amounts of spontaneous violence and dissent that comes from opposing views, the simmering tensions lying dormant underneath the surface, that have been briefly bottled up into an unwatched pressure cooker by a 'quick and easy' campaign against the Combine, which has a clear means of both escalating and going extremely badly, extremely quickly, in a political, economic and military sense, whilst also adding in the prospect of armed Rasalhagian conscripts;
I'd rather the consequences of this misadventure are more genuinely serious in a follow-up outcome than not; like, not discounting irrevocably breaking the Dominion apart in an actual civil war/revolt into their own radicalised Rasalhague and Bear factions-style serious.
It's my opinion, but I think it'd provide more fresh air, and fertile grounds going forward for both Rasalhague and Bears, both in and out of fiction.
