Walkthrough for Non-Aetorian MCs

Walkthrough with optimized builds for Non-Aetorian MCs with all friends possible: Cazarosta, Lefebvre, Elson and half the work for Cunaris, Lanzerel, Marion, Campos and Loch.

Intro:

Made this guide to show the results of seeking the best non-Aetorian MC and good non-shipowners MC, while also getting all friends possible.

Made 3 builds,one with low age but with enough stats to be able to have success at the Estate and to become a successful saboteur; a older one with enough intellect to maximize the investment in Garing's guns and one minimal age only for cunarians able to have success at the Estate and to become a successful saboteur.

thanks

[Shay]

Seems all good for build 1 then, good job on that massive work you're doing mate

[Shay]

Yeah indeed, doesn't change much except him running off

[Tiago]

needs 60 charisma or intellect to convince Wittelbrook, but it doesn't matter as far as results go, except Wittelbrook dying which don't even has a variable tracking.

[Shay]

I see, good to know

[Shay]

trying to convince Wittelbrook fails as well. 52 Charisma (and 55 Intel; 55 Soldiering; 55 Rep). Suppose needs 55 Charisma for that one

[Tiago]

#Try to convince them : reduces ruthlessness and increases idealism, there are points in Guns were ruthlessness can't be too high and other were idealism must be past a certain point to get a positive result.

[Shay]

Aight good, gonna keep on going down then. Good thing I backup at the beginning of every chapter

[Shay]

Hmm didn't know that, thought it was just a charisma or loyalty check. But it doesn't have any impact then ? I wish there was a complete guide with the effects of each decision like we have on Lords now lmao, might have to code dive soon enough

[Tiago]

the reputation was another problem i caused when doing build 3
