Glad to see this back! As for the joining the Empire stuff, your Caesar reference put me in a Roman state of mind, and I thought of Tacitus' Agricola, which includes a history of the Roman conquest of Britain. Tacitus puts into the mouth of a Briton leader the famous line "You [Romans] create a desert and call it peace." That is what the Empire is doing here; they may slaughter their enemies, but the result will not be harmony but desolation. Moreover, no empire lasts forever. The conflict will simply re-emerge within a few generations, this time with even more anger and resentment on the part of the rebellious subjects.
