Thats good to know, and if thats the case then the secret mission seems to be superior IMO

It's kind of a ♥♥♥♥ move that the person they most often kill is your SNCO, given that they're basically the second largest NPC role over the two games. Like can I have one of my one note subordinates die first instead? Bayliss is litterally "likes to fight," or I guess beat the men when he isn't fighting, and you can't make him grow as a person. Let his ass die and I'll keep Lanzerel thank you very much. Marion's death also lands weakly in 10B, since you can completely miss the scenes that give him a character and one of them is on the other bloody path.

Similarly, the Irregulars are the only chance you get to act like a human being to the common man instead of a jumped up jackass. I mean you can't even truly get over it with Caz. Even if you're the kind of person that would go to bat for women's liberation, you don't get to offer the idea that noble blood doesn't actually make someone a better leader.

It would be nice if you could more precisely control who dies in 10B basically.

It is more satisfying by far to go to the battle since that feels like a more natural culmination of the arc from the first game, but it makes you less money and the people who die doing the castle raid are people that we haven't even met yet. So mechanically 10A seems better.

Lords of Infinity is going to have a hell of a time writing a game that offers compelling choices to the guy that has 8k+ gold in the bank and has paid off his family's debt, while not inflicting a crippling burden on the dude that can barely muster 1k with 16k in debt to deal with.

How did you manage to pay off the family debt in Guns? And how did you make so much money? I sent back all wages at the first letter, then after promotion I wasn't given a choice to sent more at the second letter, because this promotion somehow didn't have a raise in wage, even though I have spare gold, apparently I can only send back wages. This way I end up with 16K debt and having to pay 1900+ interest when I get back home.

He's talking about the huge amount of money you get from captureing the princess. It put me well over 10,000 gold I believe. Theres a tradeoff however, you lose almost 2/3 of you men, and I think your reputation tanks as well. Thats why I like the big battle more than the secret mission.

nah your rep only tanks if you fail to capture/kill the daughter/mother. also, if your pursueing a romance with Kristina and fail your relationship tanks.

You can use 7zip or any archive extractor to unpack steam's guns of infinity exe file. Then go into the scenes folder and read the text file of each chapter. It's more or less a complete guide as it allows you to read what changes and consequences each choice will do to you and what skills or parameters are required for you to succeed in an action and vice versa.

I tried this : Give no help to the 1st commander (Hartigan), send the 4th troop to help the highlanders, then use your cannons to help out the 5th experimentals while using your squad and cazarosta's to help the 5th foot. (Note: You get the cannons if you capture the barge on the last chapter.) Then you commit to a full flank charge. In this walkthrough only the 1st commander (Hartigan) dies. Everyone else survives and lanzerel becomes your Colous-Sergeant. (Note: Campos doesn't appear in this walkthrough because he only appears as a replacement for lanzerel if he dies.) (Lastly I didn't focus much on the romance, but I forcused on befriending everyone.)
