The Kingdom of War seems like a load of bollocks to me.
The rate at which it consumes resources, human resources,
far out weighs the rate at which resources can be assimilated. Tapping
is an extremely inefficient process. The armed forces of the KOW
are going to be rapidly diluted from the elite core (corps?) from which
they began. Attrition and assimilation of inferior forces makes this
inevitable. Where do they get these new recruits from ? Few sane warrior
would surrender to the KOW so warriors would have to be trained from
amongst captured peasants and the like. The KOW needs a lot of
magical and mythic support to explain how it can survive.
Maybe the KOW are really the BORG.
