I mean, it wouldn't surprise me given my observations overtime :P.

This is an interesting piece you have here, both in what it does and also what it could also mean for future tools. I will definetely try to use this once I get round to playing through the whole game again. Very unlikely to happen.Fortunately,the battle of Yhilin can be said to have a 'best' result so it was possible to build something like this for it.However,nevermind the whole game,I find it unlikely that something like this can be built for even the third Arclent war,since there's  not a clear 'best' path.For example,someone can aim to have as low Aram CD as possible and someone else may heed the game's warning about the danger of Aram begin in an advantageous position after the war and try to aim for the Aram CD to be as close to 30 as possible (that being the min for best results).Or as far as the game goes,someone may want to give emphasis to relationship points and not whore out Qum and someone else may give emphasis to investments and whore out Qum.Another may want to disregard  consequences altogether and play the bad guy as far as all important decisions go.Sorry for talkign so much but my point is that  in a game with so many trade-offs and priorities to chose form,the 'best' result is highly subjective.

Having said all that,this is very impressive work that you've done here and even though I personally find it unlikely,this is one instance when I wouldn't mind being proven wrong by applying this logic to the rest of the big events of the game and making something similar for them as well.Good luck and good job on your work so far XOyOyOx.
