Word Bearers Legion Chaos Sorcerer. A mouthful, I know, but that's the full title. Its from Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2: Retribution with the Word Bearers Legion DLC, which is just a reskin of the Chaos Space Marines army already in-game. I play RTS games, not only TBS, even though I'm nowhere near competitive material. I also play FPSes, RPGs, 3d platformers and anything in between. Really bad at those old-school Nintendo hard 2d platformers though, and total junk at fighting games.
As for the localized metaphor, I suppose the end result is the same even if the reasons why are different. Originally I doubted that Zemeckis was actually ever indicted of treason, given that the messenger immediately asks him to retaliate with a real rebellion after delivering the news. Zemeckis then discards any reservations quite quickly, so he may have just been looking for an excuse to destroy the peace and fulfill his harbored ambitions. If you play Norgard in LoF, they mention the name he chooses for his usurper state, Esgares, an old empire that once ruled over the unified lands in power and prosperity, something like a Roman analogue. The color of Esgares, purple, also brings to mind Imperial Roman imagery(as opposed to republican Rome's red.)
Anyways, Zemeckis is a career soldier, making him ill-suited to periods of peace(and coincidentally, peace is ill-suited to the plot.) One wonders if Zemeckis doesn't start a war just to avoid a peaceful death, and makes me curious as to how he would deal with the ensuing peace if he was actually allowed to win and unite the continent, another reason why I am eagerly awaiting your most magnanimous translation.
And you aren't missing out on much, dog meat is stringy and dry.
