Well, all of my calculations are on paper, but I can cook you up something quick. Btw, I did save Carina's men, but had to prostitute Qum. Otherwise my path alows me to have the best results in pretty much everything.

Investment: Yhilin : Iron Cudgel, Bank, Mine, Premium Steel, Bridge, Stineford shop Megail : Everything but Eustrin Processor Reunion : Everything but Ivalan Bank and Naval office (only 50k for knights) Discretionary : Everything but Nobles, Ardan border and Celebration After War : Everything but Orc economy and Elf Rental Round 1 : Stineford bank, Givin bank, Lonely sailor, Givini Orc, Elf flowhouse, Yhilin brothel, War monument Round 2 : Airships, Trading pillar, Orc shipping, Tradesmasher, Booze shack, Stineford weapon, Gasmfall armor, HQ( Armory, Sex room, Mage shield, Guard post, Well, Iron cudgel, Shrine, Orc lab, Givini magic dragon statues Round 3 : Givini tunnels, Elf rental, Givini tea, Givini smith, Hall mental strength, Succubus band, Lustlord statue, Lustlord temple, Tak'kan mines(post synod) That leaves me with exactly 0 Pron (which I find amazing) and I expect 4 267k Pron + Orc mines + synod bonus for next round

Frostbringer79 explained my Yhilin battle path somewhere... There it is : (ps : I'm the Anonymous who came up with it. I know its bragging but I'm proud of it, dammit. Also you must talk to Aka first in the merchant camp and Megail first at the reunion to make it work)

Well to make it work with also getting enough VP and having 0 chaos/CD without having to use dicretionary funding, you need to meet some requirements. Megail and Yarra need to be at 100 Rp, Aka at least at 80, Carina at least at 50 and Janine at least at 75. Altina and Varia need to be reshaped. Rift amplification spell has been used. You need to have the bridge repaired and the orc extermination and unpeople motion have failed. First research should be essence hiding.

So to the choices: We start with Assault mage tower -->Intercept Ari-Khan-->Send orcs for healing-->Hit Main Army-->Keep current position(enemies are clustered)-->Hold the position-->Retreat

You should be at 17 VPs, 4 chaos, 3 CD and 29 enemy forces now.

Megail at 100, talking to the Queensmen people and the ambassador(after also  having spent 20% for a double campaign) should give you -4 therefore make it 0 chaos. As bank core investor in Yhilin you can even get to -1 here.^^

3 CD is reduced to 0 through Carina at 50 Rp, Yarra at 100Rp and Carina saving head of House Thelon. 17 Vp are raised to 19 through unpeople motion failed and hearing Megail's story when you are already at 100Rp. With a double campaign you get to 25 then.

Now you can do all discretionary funding besides countrywide mercs and Ardoheim border, which you don't need since you get to 201 army without the mercs and get to battle progress 10 in Stineford thanks to saving Carina's men. Ah yes, you really should save those soldiers. Meaning get the Iron cudgel from the start.

I focused on Yhilin before the Arclant war, the sent extensions for Aram's refugees, both ardant fronts and against the unsuccubi. Otherwise always take the best choices when it's obvious, take the options that don't lower Aram's collateral when possible and Defend Much in Aram3. that should raise your collateral to 15.
