Gonna post this here so it doesn’t get lost in the Discord, the skeleton for my canonical run, the very violent and fully minmaxed Ruthless/Skeptical/Homelander 2COM/1INT Helot guide.
In Chapter 1, you will say “Stop, the merchants are your flesh and blood” while trying to stop the Harrowing, this gives you the extra Homelander points you need for the bonus. (For roleplaying, pretend that your character initially wanted to win over Shayardene elites, but after that failed, committed to a path of vengeance).
In Chapter 3, you kill off Horion/Linos and show off their bodies, and ambush Hector while Kalt fights him.
Chapter 4 is fairly straightforward, and you’ll get a flawless victory.
Chapter 2 (took me a while to minmax this haha)
Week 1: Scout for mule raid, beg mules with Breden, steal mules from Yeomen and Merchants, Scout Telone Raid, then remainder (65) go steal food from Yeomen
Week 2: Buy as many bushels as possible, have Breden go and recruit with everybody
Week 3: Steal mules from mine/monastery, then check how many bushels you need, multiply by 10/7, round up, add 2, and send that many people to raid Yeomen farms. Rest recruit with Radmar
Week 4: NOW switch your rations to healthy, raid Tithe Barn farm with all mules (do not scout), have Breden recruit
Week 5: Breden recruits with everybody
Week 6: Steal mules from Merchants, Steal grain from nobles, have rest recruit with Breden
Week 7-10. Remember to scout Noble raid in Week 7, and reserve mules for the sick. In Week 8, Sell 1 mules and buy 43 bushels, round off the rest with Yeomen Raids.
Noble Barn Raid in Week 9. In Week 10 you’ll do the Noble Raid, and switch rations back to Subsistence for Healthy, Healthy for Sick if necessary.
And in Week 10 have Elery steal from the Merchants (optional).
50 traps each in weeks 8-10
Recruiting
Week 7: All Breden
Week 8: All Radmar
Week 9: All Breden
Week 10: All Radmar
