User:Lostone2/Succesion Crisis

The goal of this page is to describe all the political manipulations related to the King Alonon during chapter 4. At this point, the process has started but it's very likely that it will carry on during the whole chapter.

Variables
You need to have reached various thresholds to get the highest number of points. That doesn't that you can't get the best possible results in all the cases, though.

Simon stats:
 * Economy &ge; 80: you can't check this one directly in-game, but if you were able to trigger Iris + Megail second scene you are (in the worst case) very, very near as you need 75 for that scene.
 * Social &ge; 40: if you were available to get the best result in the Ferolohm merchant camp dispute prior to start this section of the game, you already have it, as you can't lose Social points during this part of the game.
 * Religion &ge; 20: there is no way to check this stat in-game at this point.

Affection values:
 * Megail has to be locked (&ge; 100).
 * Carina &ge; 75.
 * Dari &ge; 75.
 * Elleani &ge; 70 for the best result, 50 for second best.

Investments:
 * Merchant's Guild member.
 * Ardan Bank Core Lender reduces to half the amount of ProN necessary.
 * Mercenary Flotilla.
 * Eustrin Embassy.
 * Sanitation Mages Guild.

Country scores:
 * New Givini &ge; 30 for the best result, 25 for second best.
 * Ardoheim ??

Throne Candidates
Some of them can be found in New Givini and others in Ardford. Tyna is primarily located in Ardford, but she is also affected by New Givini happenings.

So far you can eliminate from the race two and weaken the position of four more. The gameplay suggests that the desirable candidate is Tyna, but much remain uncertain to be seen.

New Givini

 * Bhakan: he has the strongest claim from the point of view of blood relations (Alonon's grand-nephew by his next oldest brother). A hard man, but not neccesarily a bad king.
 * Donovan: son of the Duke of Stineford. To strength his position he would have to marry Tyna...
 * Farnan: strong Aramite connections.

Ardford

 * Tyna: she doesn't want the job, but...
 * Ignias: from a noble family and a good man.
 * Gnath: his family has a lot of economic power, but very little nobility.
 * Jhenno: another blood relative. He has strong connections with the Church of Ivala.
 * Antarion: enough said.
