The entire franchise was built around the idea that the kingdom had been brought low by a decades-old conspiracy that propped up the empire while sabotaging the kingdom from the inside. Having played the game, I knew who the traitor was. And his first big public strike against the kingdom had been around a decade before the main story started. I suggested that we build the simulation for THAT time, when the king was a decade younger, give him the identity of the traitor, so he could break both the empire and the traitor at the same time and save his kingdom back then. Then we start rolling the simulation forward, and he can have his kingdom, safer and stronger and better than it had been in his entire lifetime.
