Yea I felt that this premise was interesting indeed but in the end felt a little flat, the whole economics and diplomacy thing isn't so easy a weapon to wield on top of that the economics, etc were rather blaise and a very generalized one at that, on top of that how are you supposed to convert a hero with just words, when the amount of indoctrination is involved with warriors and those that perceive the world to be a certain way. I think I'd be way more interested if the intro arc was like some attempts at diplomacy, then a battle between the two, the hero realizing the futility of the fighting but still wanting to hold his ideals/nationality, then more diplomacy. Anyway the biggest problem I have from reading the first chapter was that it's so casual with it's lofty ideas on top of the fact that most of those ideas are wrong, or oversimplified.
