Just finished my first Rizia Run. (Spoilers)

[Segert]

A few questions. And some things i learned.

The questions

. How to regain zille?
. Any way to strenghten the airforce? After you made your first choice? I could buy planes. once. But that is it. My airforce is woefully understrength
. How many war maps? Ive only played on pales. And conquered that.
. How can you get the south merkopan alliance?
. Who poisoned the previous king?
. Can i bash wiktors smolaks face in? (hate that guy)
. How to get the flagship?
. How to get the golden guard division?
. How to get Derdian missiles?
. How to get the Morellian Super deluxe planes?(Superior to lespian planes?)


From my playthrough ive learnt.

. What you did in the maingame(sordland) Has effect on your campaign.
. It determines what ideology Anton rayne has. Mine was malyenivist. Even though i was a democratic reformer. But i did do many leftist things. And got accused to be an malyenivist
. If you recovered the economy of sordland in the maingame. Invest as Rizia in sordland. I max invested. And got 12 budget at a certain moment. which was massive.
. Your decision in the maingame what to do with Gasom has impact on what happens with your rizia campaign

. Dont give the press freedom. The second paper you get. Always is against you. No matter what you do. And it stirs anti monarchist sentiment.
. Dont train too much infantry divisions. You only have 6 moves per turn anyway. You can never used them all. Just focus on Support and tank divisions. And have the azaro elite, Sazon Levies, and other elite troops fill in the gaps.
. Invest as much as you can early game. Especially in resources. like the Dam or gas fields.
. Keep Rumburg happy. You get some nice things from them. They are your allies. Also chemical bombs yo. (No nukes sadly)
. Marry Lucita Azaro. She will give you a son. And the alliagance of house azaro. Which is valuable.

Anyone else something to add? Feel free

One potential way: fund ATA activities early on and then maintain/improve them. Optionally allow Rico to send his royalists to organize some resistance. This should generate decent bargaining power when negotiating 3 year "trial period" with Smolak -- you can get a balanced, beneficial trade deal and only agree to limited access regulations and to naval blockade, if that. After the 3 years are up be pleasant during the meeting but reject Smolak's attempts to get more concessions, then just let the referendum run its course. It should conclude with your win if your support groups worked long/effectively enough, even without taking option to activate your royalists or army to manipulate/protect the ballots.

I was preparing for war, but I got Zille diplomatically in the end. I did a lot pressure at AN, invested a lot in ATA and the nationalists group (I forget their name, Su-something). At AN, claimed that Victor was breaking the agreement. Also, I said the referendum was ilegal, resulting the AN pacemaking forces to support the Zille transition to Rizia.

I was in good terms only with Morona. I aligned with Valgsland to reduce the Lespia influence by nationalising the Morona's industry.

Who poisoned the previous king?

I asked Lucita to investigate it for me. I gave her everything she asked (ahh, love!) and budget points. After some interactions, I could find the murderer.

I got it but I don't know how.

With that, I got basically two endings:

• I had a male heir with Lucite, but I declared that Vina would be the next Queen. Azzaro do a coup. Reacting, you die.
  
• At Vina's wedding, I declared the she will be immediately. No coup, and I survided.

I was known as Romus, the lawmaker. To be sincere, I was expecting more for the endings. It was too short, in my point of view.

From what I discovered from having the golden guard investigate. It was Lucita. I then had her executed lol. Don't know if she actually did it though.

Wait, this is actually raised at AN? When i talked with Smolak i said i'd oppose him at the AN about the legality of the referendum, but then during the actual session the only thing discussed was Agnolia's appeal to recognize their right to the island thing and that was literally all. I didn't even get option to make any speech about Zille or anything, and neither did Smolak for this matter but then the referendum happened as if everyone just agreed on it.

This DLC really seems to come apart at seams in the latter part of it. ._.

Mine investigation said Captain Titus. Which i didnt believe since he is so loyal. I think it depends on who is investigating.

The actual person responsible is Sal but you have to point investigation at him specifically.
