1/ I won’t include inconsequential decisions in this guide (personalities will affect sometimes, but it’s only for flavor most of the time). If you don’t see my choice in the list of choices, it means that list has inconsequential choices.

2/ I will shorten the terms for convenience:
Cazarosta->caz, Elson->els,Cunaris->cun,Lefebvre->lef
Soldiering->sol,Intellect->int,Charisma->cha,Reputation->rep
Idealism->Ideal,Ruthlessnes->ruth,Sergeant->sgt
Discipline->dis,morale->mor,loyalty->loy
Royalist->roy,Wulframite->wul

3/ I’ll use a blank line to separate between choices.

4/ For estate random events, generally go for choices that favor your fief.
a/ For the merchant vs tenant event, you should generally side with your tenant early in the game and the merchant later in the game.
b/ For the elf tourist event, just apologize and pay them 100$. We need the rep.

5/ This playthrough will assume that you have a brother and sister, invested $2000 for Garing's project, and bought promotion to Lieutenant. It's fine if you didn't make these choices, but you should do it IMO, it makes your playthrough more flavorful (I think?)

Wulfram is mistaken; we must maintain our defences, regardless of the difficulty.
-> Wulfram's words must be answered, and I will answer them.

"My apologies, Your Grace, but I am already spoken for this evening."

I'd rather like to catch up with Blaylock and Sandoral.
OR
Perhaps I ought to speak with Lord Marcus.
OR
I ought to speak with Palliser.
- Among the guests, increasing opinion of Palliser or Marcus is probably the best. Takara will side with Wulfram and Hugh already has a high opinion of us. Choose 2 out of these 3 options. If you talked with Kat instead of your men in chap 7 of Guns, don't talk with your men now.

Palliser's sentiment is noble, and I am sure his intentions are good. I approve.
OR
It seems like a good idea, but such endeavours are never as easy as they seem.
- You need at least 35 ideal for this.

I shall try to inspire them, convince them that we are bound for greater things.
- You can opt for the last option instead for more cynicism, but it costs 40$

…the talks came to nothing. There was no engagement.

"Times are hard for all; I cannot afford to lower rents anytime soon."

I mean to attend to the matter of my family's debts.
-> I must try to renegotiate the interest on my loans.
The village could use some improvements.
-> Let's see to refurbishing the village shrine.
- A school is another good choice, but I’m pretty sure shrine is the best one among them.

I could try to become more acquainted with my brother and sister.
- If you don't have siblings, choose "There must be some way to keep myself occupied." and maintain your cha instead.

"You would be most welcome to stay here a while."

The realm needs me; I must go to Aetoria and make my voice heard.
Or
There's opportunity to be had in the capital, and I mean to seize it.

I appoint Loch as my estate manager.

Perhaps I may talk these men down?
-> "You could choose to work for me."
-> These men must hang, and I will ensure that they do.
- Life is full of difficult choices. Some of the baneless may die, but it is a sacrifice the bane-blooded is willing to take.

Take a closer look at townhouses around Victory Square.
-> I will settle for the new build, it is more my style.

I should send some money home, to help improve my fief.
-> Send 2000$
I mean to attend to the matter of my family's debts.
-> I'll draw upon my connections to arrange a new loan on more favourable terms.
-> I will see what friends in the capital are willing to assist me.
- Now is a good time to loan based on reputation. You can recover it later.

Membership in the Admiralty Club appeals to me, perhaps…
-> I must make a visit to Admiralty House in person.
-> I mean to apply for membership to the Admiralty Club.
-> What of Lefebvre, did he not say he would support me?
- Nepotism, works every time (sadly).

"I fear Her Highness is right. We must consider the repercussions of even our personal decisions."
-> "I accept, Your Highness."

"It is good to see you as well, my lady."
-> "Will I see you on the Army Reform Commission?"
-> "Good day then, my lady."
- Getting back some lost opinion when you refuse to take her side in Guns.

The King's Government must help the King's subjects, whatever the cost. I vote in favour.
OR
A reputation as Wulfram's ally will serve me well. I vote in favour.
- The strategy here is to favor Royalist but not go too deep just yet, lest you earn the ire of the Wulframites too early.

I must see what benefit I might secure for my home region.
- Do nothing for the estate this season.

"He speaks well of us; that must mean something?"
-> "Shall I call upon you sometime?"
- We’re in Chap 4 now.

"Very well, I shall make a donation."
-> Donate 150$
- This is the exact amount that we need.

I should send some money home, to help improve my fief.
-> Send 2500$
I mean to attend to the matter of my family's debts.
-> I'll draw upon my connections to arrange a new loan on more favourable terms.
-> Perhaps the Admiralty can offer me some assistance here.

I would like to make some calls upon my friends and acquaintances.
-> I reacquaint myself with Lady Katarina.
-> "Do you still serve Royal Intelligence, then?"
-> "Then what is to become of…us?"
-> It doesn't matter! I'll fight for my beloved's hand, impossibility or not!
OR Leoniscourt is too rich a prize to give up, even at such odds.
- Best warcrime waifu.

I must turn my attention to the Army Reform Commission.
-> We'll learn the most from the experiences of the junior officers. I vote with Palliser.

I mean to see about enhancing my reputation and influence.
-> I should work towards increasing my stature within the Admiralty Club.

I mean to see about enhancing my reputation and influence.
-> I work towards swaying my fellow club members towards the King's faction.

I vote against the Duke of Wulfram's budget.

If the Kian are willing to assist us, then that is only for the good.
- Do nothing for your estate this season.

The Club sounds like a good way to spend a winter.
-> "You may, sir."
-> The chance of discovery cannot be too great if I keep my bets minimal.

I must stay in Aetoria. I have obligations here I must fulfil.
OR
Leaving Aetoria means leaving my power and influence behind. I'll not do it.

"You have been a good friend, and I should hope to see you again one day."

"A treaty with the Kian would be in our best interests."
-> I must ensure that my own allies are not lured away by anti-treaty arguments.
- We're not good enough to persuade die-hard anti-treaty men, sadly.

I'd better stop Castermaine before he scuttles the idea of standard officer training altogether.

It is my duty to speak in support of the Kian treaty.

I vote in favour of the treaty and the King's budget.

"The Crown has my support, Your Highness."

I mean to attend to the matter of my family's debts.
-> I'll draw upon my connections to arrange a new loan on more favourable terms.
-> I'll call upon my connections at Grenadier Square.
I should send some money home, to help improve my fief.
-> Send 3500$

Yes, I think I will make a donation.
-> Donate either 50/150/400$. The more you donate the more rep gain you’ll get. Personally, I donated 150$.

Perhaps some publick acts of charity would improve my reputation?
-> I'll hire a printer and start a pamphlet campaign.

"I am well, sir—and very pleased to be under your command once more."

Before all else, soldiers must have discipline!

No compromise: this Commission cannot hamstring itself for the sake of politickal expediency.

"You seem very sure of this, Your Grace."
-> "I mean to keep the peace, Your Grace, regardless of the circumstances."
- During dinner with Wulfram, choices 2 and 5 will have 3 options, choose the middle one for both.

We should keep our distance and observe, but no more unless necessary.
-> So long as the crowd remains peaceful, we can leave them be.

"I cannot apologise for my actions. I did what I thought right."

"I mean to take this seriously. Seal off the streets, find me some witnesses."
-> Arrest someone who resembles the description, someone who won't be missed. He'll do.
- Life is full of difficult choices. Some of the baneless may die, but it is a sacrifice the bane-blooded is willing to take.

It would be best if I stayed out of this debate.
(Optional): We cannot afford to discount the advantages new weapon designs provide.
-> The Commission should recommend full and immediate adoption.
- By debating for the rifle, you’llt gain Garing opinion but lose rep, and allow the Cavalry school to dominate the Infantry school. I prefer to allow some reforms from the Infantry school.

First Squadron is the softest of the lot, I'll pitch in there.

Each incident must be judged individually, independent of politickal circumstance or allegiance.

"Saints above, Sir Caius. It is good to see you again."
-> On the contrary, it is her devotion to duty which attracts me, among other things.

"Twenty or so men will serve my purposes well enough. First Squadron may take the rest."
-> My command will shoulder the burden of the worst, so First Squadron won't have to.
- Don't do anything for your estate this season. Do whatever next, just make sure not to join Wulfram and not betray him from within.

I'll go watch some fights in the Old City. I may not have another chance.
-> I must convince him to lend us his support.
-> "I can offer you better than that: two hundred fifty crown if you work for me."

I take a personal hand in the regiment's drill, to prepare them for what is to come.
-> Drill first and second squadrons.

If I am to rely upon the men, I must ensure that they are loyal to me.
-> I can use my pull at Grenadier Square to do the men a few favours.
- You can bribe them instead, but it will cost you 1200/2400/3600$, which I think is not worth it.

I must look to restoring my own physickal and mental fitness.
-> The times ahead will require a sharpened mind, a requirement I intend to meet.
- There are several good options for the last one, actually. You can also increase your rep, train third squadron, or go meet Welles.

First Squadron will go to Captain Blaylock.
- We mentored him back in Guns just for this reason. He’ll make first squadron a lot more powerful.

Embody the Houseguard. Should the Royalist party have need of it, then I shall be ready.

I ought to see if there's anything I can do at the club.
- The reason why we join Admiralty.

- Final Battle begins
"I'll give the men one last inspection."
-> "I must address the regiment, make sure the situation is clear to them."
-> "We have delayed long enough. Squadrons to form column, and prepare to advance!"
- We're not as inspiring as we thought, but oh well.

We must charge the mob! Quickly, before Grenadier Square is overrun!
-> We will attack with both squadrons in concert, along parallel streets.
-> I can spare a few to help fortify Grenadier Square.
-> I'll send out patrols to rally any nearby supporters and bring them here.
-> The volunteers would only slow us down. We leave them all here.

"Very well, my lord. Send your volunteers in. We have your backs."
-> "Give me a few minutes, I'll convince them otherwise."

"Saints above, am I glad to see you."
-> "How do we fare elsewhere in the city?"
- Remember to ask this question for extra Lef opinion
-> "I will do my utmost, sir." OR "The lives of your men are subject to the requirements of the service; no more, no less."

We have no time for delays: send in the Grenadiers!
-> I'll send for the Takaran guns and arm the militias with them.
- DO NOT put Reye's sharpshooter in positions, or reorganizing the militas, you'll lose precious time.
-> "Send in the militias."
-> Call the militias forward and send them in.
-> We should shoot to disable one of Crittenden's ships, without harming her crew.
- Royal forces: 128, Wulfram forces: 0.

"And I am very pleased to see you as well, my lady."
