Getting an opinion bump with Cazarosta for taking the "If you gain Leoniscourt, your sister loses it" option is a nice touch. As prickly as he is he really cares about his loved ones

[Ulterior The Panzie]

That's about what I figured. Thanks so much for the response! And thanks again for the truly fantastic guides, some of the best I've seen for games like these if not the best. I'd rate these up but I only have the games on their website and iOS so it literally won't let me.

[Tiago]

Nope, you can only join ARC if you went to Aetoria as soon as possible. As for the factory, there is no special benefit at least in Lords, maybe in Wars?

[Ulterior The Panzie]

Question: can you become a member of the ARC without being in Aetoria for the first half of the game? I have completed multiple play-throughs of being in the Cortes so far (love your guides btw, so thank you so much for this), but I haven't yet embarked upon one where I stay in my fief.

I ask because I want to be absolutely sure Garing gets his inventions accepted by the commission for the next game, but I'd still like to experiment with the possibility of not being a true lord of the cortes as well. As such, as I asked, is it possible? And speaking of, is there any special benefit to having a factory while being invested with Garing? Based upon what I've read in your guides and elsewhere I'm getting the feeling there isn't, but I hesitate to spend another while getting to that point only to learn my time was for naught.

Thanks again for the awesome works!

[grubby justin]

No sweat, I'm glad to hear that you're working on it dude! In the meantime I might give the royalist path a try! Thanks again for these guides, they're fantastic <3

[Tiago]

Well, there are plans... but as I'm a royalist and 12b is complex as hell, it will not be done any time soon, sorry.
At least the first part of it, with 11b, i will do in a few days.

[grubby justin]

Thanks for the amazing guides, these have all been extremely helpful. I will ask though, any plans on making a Wulframite battle guide for chapters 11 and 12? I'm unsure if I've missed it or if another one of your guides will suffice, I was just curious and would really appreciate one. Still thank you for going through the effort or writing up so much and in such detail!
