Sorry guys, work is busier than expected, so the minmaxed pacifist “Prophet of Peace” guide is on indefinite hiatus. That said I will post the basic skeleton here, in case people want to use it.
The original build idea was by Ledd, I did not know that a very optimized pacifist run that keeps all lieutenants alive was possible until he showed me. That said this particular winter strategy is my work alone, Ledd’s strat is different (though our results are about the same).
Remember that this is Compassionate / Devout (Inner Voice) / Homelander. You need to be Homelander so you can more easily get mules from Yeomen. You need over 800 rebels (adults and children) by Chapter 4 for this to work, which this guide will get you. Choose to send everyone back to the camps. When the time comes, you will send a few rebels away with Elery, to save her from poisoning and later death.
Week 1: 3/4 Rations for Adults and Child Healthy, 3/4 for Adult Sick, Subsistence for Child Sick. Week 1: Sell 5 arms and get 18 bushels. First beg mules with both you and Breden. Then talk to Alaine. Then have You beg Helots for food. Then have Elery recruit with remainder.
Week 2: Sell 5 arms and get 19 bushels. Switch Sick Child rations to Healthy (to save Alless). Have yourself beg mules and look for food from Helots, and have Breden recruit.
Week 3: Sell a mule, buy 43 bushels. Have Breden look for mules (this will get 1), and you bum food from Helots, and have Elery recruit. (edited)
Week 4: Switch the Adult Sick rations to Subsistence. Buy the bushels you can. Have yourself look for mules and beg helots for food, and have Breden recruit.
Week 5: Sell a mule, buy 43 bushels. Have yourself bum from merchants and beg Helots. Have Breden recruit.
Week 6: Buy all the bushels you can. Have yourself bum from merchants and beg Helots, have Breden recruit. Remember that this is when you do the mission from Alaine. In this week I had to hunt for a few rabbits with 20. Also switch rations to: switch rations to
Healthy Adult: Half.
Healthy Child: 3/4.
Sick Adult: Healthy.
Sick Child: Healthy.
Week 7: You have food! DO NOT bum from Helots this time. Just recruit everything.
Week 8: Sell 1 mule, buy 43 rations, Recruit with everybody, you and Breden.
Week 9: Sell 1 mule, buy 43 rations, recruit with everybody, you and Breden
Week 10: Sell 1 mule, buy 42(!) rations, recruit with everybody (if necessary, cut healthy child rations to half and bum a bit of food from helots with Elery).
