Picture this if you will.
Player arrives at trigger point over looking town at other side of river.
Battle starts over river, lots of sound and explosions, some screams in the distance.
Ferry carrying what remains of islands human pops leaves jetty and heads downstream.
You can see them with your binoculars huddled together on deck.
battle in town ends all is quiet.
2 tanks appear on riverside and launch rockets at ferry.
Screams heard and ferry sinks last of islands people are now lost.
You arrive at the town later to see remains of battle you witnessed, bodies and mech parts everywhere.
A brave last stand.
Player should feel the emotion at this point. You are truly alone.

It’s ambiguous and ambitious I’ll admit but a bit to dramatic for the beginning of the game in my opinion. Nevertheless a good hard thought out analogy.

New player experience idea or content for another island introduction , nice one ’ well thought out , maybe the dev’s see this and a few month’s later ‘’ boom’’ you’re playing a similar idea ’ and your head wonder’s if they ever saw your post , big smile time , . 
AAAHH my apologies I should make the context clearer, I would expect this to be something you come across while playing for a little while, the area where this would be a possibility would be further up the map. maybe far west or north west of Norra Saltholmen or even one of the locked islands if you miss out arriving at the battle site.
The game could use some dramatic cutscenes… you just spawn in on a pathway by the river. It’s so plain, and then from there on it’s all you just playing and doing the same thing. No cutscenes whatsoever. I say it’s a good idea for the beginning of the game!
