I am quite certain for it to be possible to resolve the crisis as greenecliff, as I succeeded in this effort twice already, though I am not certain if there is a way, to do such a thing reliably, or how I did it.

I tried the whole Greneclyf thing like nine or ten times and every time it failed. Feels like something you would need players to play as each country of River Ponies to make work. Or get incredibly lucky.

yeah trying to play as greenclyf is hard because ai can be really random.

If you mean there crisis where you pick four options four times than yes, there is a specific pattern to it. But as for the trading economy effect I have seen that in the base game all but diamond mount support it most of the time.

Is there any way to legitimately make it down the greenclyf trading focus trees and join a faction? I've never managed it and ive never seen the ai manage it either. It mostly just sits off the coast, doing nothing much because its tiny industry, science, and manpower ability means it can barely do anything.

No, No way.

I'm working on submod and one of the thing in the list is trading brunch rework. Not completely - trading focuses after "our kind" ll be available after some steps to resolve crisis.
There is no reasons why changelings do not like changelings so much... or something like that.

You need to answers right - no random at all.

PS
I don't think greneclyf need buff or rework much - cause I got a LOT of fun to play it and eliminate griffonian empire and their tons of chicken food meat...
but... it is still feels like tannu-tuva. I want to play mini Japan or mini changeling's land.
The only one big, really island nation in the mod... "big" yeah
