While this might seem impossible, if you choose to defeat the frost and are hyper efficient with steam cores (only deep drills, using the iron deposits instead of the wood, maxxing merit to skim off of only 1 deposit and take the 18 available steam cores in winterhome) it is possible to build the unlock the third generator upgrade

This should in theory solve the progress factions main issue which is upgrading the generator (and since you chose to defeat the frost it should be the progress version of the generator) while also giving a major concession to the adaptation faction in the form of Winterhome.

This should lead to a secret ending where both sides instantly reach some sort of understanding preventing the war from taking place. Maybe there should also be secret requirements like all neutral laws signed, minimum and maximum level of progress and adaptation and so on.

Recently ive been trying out the different tales in utopia mode and the factions (haven’t played with fractured utopias). I want to do a run where i try to complete all the tales and i was wondering is there any consensus on which faction is the best? The technocrats have infinite scaling, the menders food and the venturers are op as shit. But im stuck between them.

I was planning a war run where i ally with Agnolia and Wehlen but apparently in the flowchart you cannot win phase 2 without Lespia air wings or Valgish navy/frontline assist. Am i seeing something wrong or have the war mechanics been changed??

While yes you can obviously use the decree to De-Sollonise it doesn’t fully remove the influence of Soll from the government and society as a whole. With that in mind what are all the actions that count as De-Sollinisation? Purging the party and the supreme court and also trialing Soll are obviously desollinisation but what about amending articles 6&7, purging the army, changing the vote threshold to 3%, changing the party manifesto? What about transferring the gendarmerie?

(I wanna do a desollinisation run but im just wondering for rp reasons what would have the biggest effect)

I'm trying to do an authoritarian + articles 6&7 and when i get to the meeting with gloria its not letting me arrest him. When i bring up arresting him my only option is just "that is too far" or something like that and I'm forced to centralize and do the 10%EPA. Is this a bug or something or is it like that to prevent stable authoritarian runs?

I was wondering if there is some secret mechanic where if you max out tariffs the depression won’t be as bad.

Im thinking of doing a fully authoritarian reactionary Iberia run but the only problem off the top of my head is that before right side economic tree always caused a crisis. Has this been changed or is there some super secret path where you do it but either avoid or tank the crisis?
