Outputs

 * Tyna Strength: it represents the power that Tyna yields as the Queen of Ardoheim and how much she can resist the control of powerful Ardan forces.


 * Ardan Approval: it represents how much the Ardan population will be disrupted by political outcomes.


 * Candidate's personal score: it represents how the candidate is perceived by the public opinion.

The first two values start at zero and you want them to go up. In the case of the third one, you want to increase the score of the character that you want to marry Tyna. You can ignore the others

Differences in function of the chosen husband-to-be
Each character have different thresholds to get the best result. That represents how their personalities are perceived by the Ardan and their personal power confronts with Tyna's. Apart from the Alonon's Helm (visible reward for getting the best result) the increase of country scores varies from one candidate to the others.


 * Bhakan: Requires Tyna Strength &ge; 20 (the highest) and Ardan Approval &ge; 9 (the lowest). His influence in Ardoheim (+5) but the less global influence (19). His initial score is 5.


 * Ignias: Requires Tyna Strength &ge; 15 and Ardan Approval &ge; 12. His influence in Ardoheim is identical to Bhakan's (+5) but the it has more global influence (22). His initial score is 3.


 * Kalant: Requires Tyna Strength &ge; 12 and Ardan Approval &ge; 15. In Ardoheim, his influence is near zero (+1) but his global prestige is notable (25), specially in the new states and Yhilin. His initial score is 1.

Free boosts
These actions increases Tyna Strength score and don't require to take any decision, just meet their requirements.


 * Disturbances: locate them in the order mentioned below to sum Tyna Strength:
 * 1) Hallways
 * 2) Library
 * 3) Bedrooms
 * 4) Dining Room
 * 5) Garden
 * 6) Bhakan's Room
 * 7) Tax Office
 * 8) Council Chambers
 * 9) Royal Office
 * Ambassador's gambit: speak with our old acquaintance in the tax office (the man with the glasses) and investigate the council room (it will trigger an easy fight). If your Arclent Acceptance is &ge; 1, you get Tyna Strength.
 * Succubi makeover: once you have reached Ardan Approval score &ge; 3, interact with the shiny spot above Tyna's sprite for another Tyna Strength.
 * Antarion: just speak with him to increase Tyna Strength score in one unity.
 * Official in the library: if you discovered who send the demons against Tyna in the Ardan Succession back in chapter 4, you can absolve Kalant from any suspicions. That gives +1 to Kalant score and Tyna Strength.
