Well for starters they are very well, written, thought out, and detailed. So it that sense I like them a lot and under no means would I ever say I hate them. However story wise they can be very unlikable.

Part of the problem is not so much that they do morally questionable things, but its how they act completely justified in the act that makes it very hard to sympathize with their cause. The Persan do some fairly ruthless things, but act like it was a necessary evil(maybe necessary, but still unexcusably evil).

One of problems with the Second War of the Mirusian Coalition is that, as it is not a character driven story, is that I was unable to stress this point. Yes they glass a whole planet, but it was truly a desperate last resort and weighed heavily on the Persan's minds. I was also unable to show the emotional hardship the Persan went through that caused them to oppose the covenant and join the Triumvirate. Showing Zuki watching her soldiers die in droves to take those planets only to lose them and being able to have a choice in the matter affected her deeply and I was unable to portray that.

The problem with stories as clinical as the Second War of the Mirusian Coalition is that you are unable to effectively portray those complex emotions that affect these decisions. Even having character inter action in the form of a diplomatic meeting is not as effective as being with the characters at the very moment.

In the end I would say that the Eldarisia are in a morally grey area, though they tend to slide into the morally darker areas. But like I said they are very well developed, written, and you should be proud of the work you've done.
