An Ally of the People

[Oljum]

However I tryed to side with the Revolutionists I didn't get such achievement. How to get make sure that Revolutionist would be victored side?

In order to get the Revolution to be victorious, you should try to use the Gossip to increase the power of all factions aligned with them.

In my first playthrough, I managed to get a revolutionary victory by aligning the Military with the revolution and increasing the power of the Bourgeoisie (already in favor of the revolution).

Yes, just use the gossip intensely especially in the second chapter. Unless there are some unfavourable factors (like not being invited to parties for some reason!) this should work.

so what's triggering the alliance with the revolution or the crown? do I have to max out their power? do I have to romance the character associated with the group?

There are several ways - once you talk with the characters they may ask you whom they should approach, then there are some events which help you push a faction to one direction or the other, then there is master of letters, which also helps you push the faction to whichever direction. But the main one is probably still with the rumours. Once you press on peddle influence there is either increase/decrease power or push towards crown or revolution.

interesting, I guess there is some randomness to it because yesterday I wanted to go with a crown route, military, church maxed out towards crown, crown was at 4 power while revolution at 0 still revolution somehow won

Yes, that is strange, I had one similar ending, not so dramatic, revolution was much higher than crown, bourgeoisie at max support for revolution, military on one crown and church at 2, but both rather weak and then yes, July 14th came and suddenly all my revolutionary work went to the wind. I thought it was all because of the military :) but in your case it is even more weird and rather illogical...

Definitely some randomness to it, I had been increasing revolution and decreasing crown and it was working according to the coffeeshop etc and then crown still won.

I love stat raisers but I wish we could more easily see what was influencing and shifting since the tools we have don't seem to account for something that happens in the background unless as we said, there is randomness to it.

I'm also a bit disappointed about "burning" one day on the café here and there to update the faction standings then at the end it turns out not affecting that much, makes the café pretty worthless unfortunately
