is this softlock?

They say I need to liberate drezen but enemy armies surround it and I can't beat them. My army is too weak for this and I have no money to hire more. You need money to build army and you need army to earn money. How are you supposed to have any of those if you lack one of them? Do you get funds automatically? Without fights? I can't get funds without an army and I can't get an army without funds. And I dont' want to replay the entire act 2 for 20 hours to make a couple of different choices that would save more of my army. How to even complete it?

I see there is an option to make the crusade automatic but it says it will softlock you from some quests and achievements. What are those quests or achievements? Are they important? Will I even get the achievement for finishing the game if I turn this option on?

Why do comunists use words not according to their definitions?

Like the term "private property". Private property is something I own. Any thing I own is by definition my private property. Just look in the dictionary.
private property

noun [ U ]

uk/ˌpraɪ.vət ˈprɒp.ə.ti/ us/ˌpraɪ.vət ˈprɑː.pɚ.t̬i/

an object or piece of land that belongs to one person or group and cannot be used by everyone.

If you make up your own definitions why don't you use your own words then but you use already existing terms that mean different things? If you mean something else, then just use another word! Why do you always take already existing words, like private property, or freedom, or morals, and just butcher their meanings and use them not according to their meanings?

What is the difference between private means of production and personal means of production?

In my last question people answered me that there are, apparently, private means of production and personal means of production but no one explained what it even meant and what is the difference because apparently my question was shadowbanned because of too many downvotes and people lost access to that discussion. So what is the difference between those two? I honeslty hear about "personal means of production" for the first time but this is what 3 people not directly told me here in their attempt to explain comunism

What is means of production?

Comunists are always very itchy when they hear that comunism is against private property and they are always eager to start arguing about it. They are famous for saying "we are not against private property only against the private property over the means of production" and ALL THE TIME I ask them "what is means of production?" they always leave and ignore the question. For my whole life no one answered this question. So maybe here where comunists gather I will finlly get the answer I was denied for years.

If I try to assume what a mean of production is I may assume "well it is something that produces some goods. It is some material, thing that is used in creation of other things, goods" this is what I conclude from the name. Then we look, is a painting a product? Yes. What is used in the creation of a painting? A pencil. So we see that a pencil is a mean of production. Because a pencil is a mean of production of paintings. Does it mean comunist are against the ovnership over pencils? Or is it that I have a wrong definition of a mean of production? Then what is the right one? What is your definition of means of production? And if you have the answer check if a pencil fits it, because if it does it basically means comunism Is against any private property because any thing may be used in a creation of something. From a pencil to a rock.

Why can't I get the "gladius" achievement?

The achievement just says "win a solo game on ultra hard difficulty or higher" and the guides say it is "self explanatory". First I just set the impossible difficulty took many bots in my team and set only one enemy. I won and it didn't work so I thought maybe "solo" means not "not in multiplayer" but "without teams" too, so I made a 1 vs 1 game, won it and still got nothing. I won a solo game on ultra hard difficulty or higher, literally did it, word by word and nothing. Why? Maybe for 1 vs 1 you necessarily must play on a tiny map, or your level must be normal and only the enemy is impossible, or you are prohibited to start with all the technologies known from the start but the achievement's description says nothing about it

End game conditions!!! [Book of hours]

How to win the game? How I understand this, though I don't know from where, you should achieve some aspect level 25 by writing in your journal and use a numen when you do it. And then when it's numa you should throw the journal into the ocean, is this correct? Must you first make your journal aspected (by writing in it with aspect 20+) first or is it unnecessary? Could you use any aspect that fits one of the numen's or only the one with which you aspected your journal? And some numens have text like "a cartographer may achieve a special victory with this one" is there some special achievement if you use a special numen for your victory that fits your origin story?

And about the institute. Can I be locked away from certain lighthouse policies because I chose wrong options in the affairs? Do you just need to put any 6 inspired guys in there and that's all? Would it need something else?

Is there a way to get rid of the letter to the librarian?

I got it when I started playing, then I got another one because "you didn't answer for a long time, here is another one" I answered it and the other stayed with me. I can't throw it away though it says I can, I can't reply it and send, tens of hours have left and I'm still stuck with this letter. How to get rid of it?
