I just did the prologue and I don't know if I misread it and the opening text was meant to be like a flash forward but did the opening contradict itself? Like it says the Empire attacked the main characters country but was repelled, never mentioned the 3 minor countries and once the opening scrawl finished the characters are all acting like it's the first time their country was attacked. Also man I can't get over the choice to make the leader of the Empire go "don't kill civilians there's rules to war, but you can rape people if you want I guess" as if that wouldn't be a war crime too. hell why even make a guy like that a general? It doesn't really make sense for the guy to even give him that that position considering how in that scene it's seemingly trying to make sure the Empire isn't being portrayed as like a bandit kingdom but like a legitimate country.
