Denvari/Emeraldian Colony Discussion

I don’t have anything against the general ideas, however I’m not understanding, why the timeline is supposed to get compressed so much. Why do we need to make up a conflict as early as 1525 and not wait until the mid 1530s the earliest before that peninsula can actually be considered “encircled”?

(Apart from the fact, the Gianlucian Empire is quite busy in the time until 1548. Please consider our expansion to Bailtem.)

I kinda just came up with the years. If we were to push it back to the 1530s that would also be fine by me
