@jihad: yes, you are right - but there is a different quality between the outcast / corsair war - and the BHG / order war. - its a bit like that....
outcasts and corsairs or hessians and corsairs are at a war that has left its original cause behind. - its fighting for the sake of fighting. - of course, we still know the original origin - but todays combat between corsairs and outcasts is hardly about the fact that the hispania was once sabotaged... means, that the war would not end if it turned out ( now ) that it was nither of both, but in fact ..... the french.
so the war they fight is like a mild rain if you wanne compare it like that - a rain that goes steady and without any end in sight.
the war between the order and BHG is a fresh war with its original "idea" still present. its more like a burst of rain that will soon end, but that went much much stronger. - ( don t know if this metaphor is really fitting )
the war between the corsairs and outcasts has reached a level that you find between neighbours sometimes. - they re fighting and fighting and fighting - mostly not with nukes, but on a very low, but none the less fiercer level. - none of them would want to loose ground as the reason to fight is no practical reason anymore, but something abstract like honour.
the war between the BHG and the order ( or kusari and bretonia ) is a war that could end if one side gave up ( impossible to think of one side in the outcast or corsair war to give up, they would rather perish ) or if the reason was gone ( for example - nomads were finally defeated ) - the war is not abstract but real. it is not on a subtle level that can carry on for ages, its led with brute force - in a RP sense, they are activly invading the affairs of the order.
in the corsair outcast war.... its somewhat unthinkable that one side would really WANT to end the war... it has become their point of existance - and people don t like to give that up... even if its a pain, but its something that defines both groups.
but....
maybe i am totally wrong with that analysis and both wars are indeed identical.
