What happened when Faldio decided to give the order to attack the artillery unit:
-A portion of the escaping Darcsens died (50%? rough estimate). <-bad
-The town was liberated from the Empire's control. <-good
-The surviving Darcsens gained a bit more freedom. <-good
-Faldio and company survived. <-good
What would definitely have happened if idealism (save all Darcsens) was prioritized instead of logic and reasoning, aka Faldio decides that they should surrender/Faldio decides to not attack:
Ending A:
-Faldio and company gets their location locked-on by the artillery unit -> they get killed.
-Escaping Darcsens, regardless of whether they surrender or continue to run, would either get gunned down by the pursuing soldiers OR get bombed by the artillery unit.
-point 1 and 2 ->everyone dies.
-Nothing really changes in Fouzen. Darcsens died? Import more from the Empire to replace the ones that died. Reinforce the defenses of the town to ensure that rebellion will not take place again. Not very positive changes.
Ending B:
-Faldio and company gets captured -> turn into prisoners of war. The group gets tortured into giving out millitary secrets/info and/or eventually killed/used as slaves. Depending on the morality levels of the Empire's prison guards, the females might be sexually abused and/or killed as well.
-Darcsens either get killed by pursuing soldiers/artillery, or re-captured and put back into concentration camps, with far harsher conditions (lesser supply of food, tougher punishment for any sign of resistance, more guards around the perimeter to ensure that escape/rebellion is minimized).
-Again, reinforced defenses for the town, which means lesser chances for future attempts to liberate the town without introducing EVEN MORE casualties.
I'm interested in what
logically possible yet idealistic solution Faldio could have taken other than what he had ordered to minimized non-miilitary casualties, based on the given situation.
