Pretty sure our capital is built on an into the largest mountain in the Empire. So a tower above everything is kind of impossible without putting it all the way at the top and that makes it too far away.
Investigating things Sombra might have hidden, weeding out troublemakers in Gryphus, tunneling into the Orichalcum vein the Broken Horns are pretending doesn't exist... there's plenty of potential work for Ravensburg.
It's also a magical/Cultural artifact of extreme importance to the crystal ponies. taking it from them is basically saying we are annexing them outright, with it being so intrinsically tied to them.
This assumes the ponies want to stay instead of getting the fuck out of nightmare central.
I legitmiently don't get why they would want to back for entire generations have passed at minimum and even then they will have integrated into the Empire enough that I doubt the city will be all that special.
A generation by our standards but he basicly indusriaized breeding, killed them enmass via labor camps and sent hundreds of thousands to die in battle. For all we know there aren't really any left who remeber the time before Sombra.
Considering we have no idea how long Sombra has been in control we can't make that judgment. We have no idea how old he is but he was a full grown adult at least and he found out what he was fairly young. That means it is likely several decades he has ruled and controlled them. Constant trauma and torture over any length of time like what they experienced would have broken most if not all of them. I am sure if it hadn't been the Heart that freed the ponies and we had simply found a way to kill Sombra then most of them would have committed suicide just like the ones we rescued did.
Look below.
They killed themselves or died from wounds Sombra couldn't kill any of them. The city is a ruin rebuilding it now or anytime soon is a waste of time and resorces. The land itself cannot support people if they stay they die. This isn't us moving people from a land that is safe and viable we are saving their lives. If that means forcesing them to leave so they don't die then so be it. They can be mad once they have recovered we will deal with it. If the land wasn't a blasted and dead wasteland then letting them stay with us supporting them would be the best option but the land is dead and blasted so they need to leave.
We move them the same way we moved the rest of the people who couldn't move on their own. This isn't a fast thing it is going to be a multi-year version of the rescue option from last turn. We set up waypoints that get supplied by us while we move the people somewhere safe. Also it wouldn't be easier to send volunteers and supplies because the amount of work to restore things is going to take a massive amount of time. As in the work of generation to get the land back up to a level where people can actually live on it.
You can vote for that. I am not letting them stay to die there. Also they have no reason to stay and if some do decide then they will die but the majority are going to get moved. The children from the breeding pens are definitely being taken no way are they going to be left in the care of people who can't even take care of themselves.
