Oh no, it sounds like you're trying to revoke Baalz's poetic license! C'mon, it's flavorful and good for you too. His next guide could look like this:

"Part 1 of the treatise on Niefelheim in which it is described in some detail the various strategies that may be employed in which to obtain an enhanced level of capabilities in the later stages, creating a favorable environment for elimination of other potential prospects for the position of Pankreator, as opposed to a strong early game which though can possibly result in the rapid acquisition of neighboring territory does not provide the synergies necessary for an extended campaign..."

That's not gonna make me want to jump up and start a new game with Nief, that's going to put me to sleep.
