This save was optimized to have a great financial headstart in chapter 4, the main current drawback is that it is impossible to get the best results in the Synod because some investments had to be skipped, but even while sacrificing the financial rewards of the Synod, this save should still be more profitable, however it has some other drawbacks that may be relevant in the future.

Pros:

- I gave the reunion +5 RP to Altina, this means that you should be able to have enough girls maxed to have the best result against the Fucklord even without transforming Dari, so you're free to pick other research options if you so desire.

- The social score should be 1 point higher than usual because I didn't fix the bridge in chapter 1, this means you can reach 40 social just by investing in the Lonely Sailors, Booze Shack, and War Monument. 40 social allows you to get the neutral compromise with the merchants in the merchant camp, and allows you to tell Luanell to not marry either candidate.

- I have saved my Sx up to this point, so you should be able to purchase a lot of gear if you so desire.

Cons:

- I didn't do the monastery conversion during chapter 3, this means you should go do it in the Yhilin petitions house, you still get the benefits and both options are dirty cheap (25k or 50k).

- I didn't get the Ardford Supplier so a bit of army size and army quality was lost during the 3AW, I still finished the war with 175+ army size and the army quality variable beat all the thresholds it met, but it might be worth mentioning.

- My main concern is that some variables are at a lower score, namely this save is 2 Ginasta RP behind most other optmized saves at the start of chapter 4, and the score of the Order of Silence is at (38), this will punish you a bit during the Synod but I'm more concerned about other possible future repercussions.

I'm working on some other alternative saves, but this is what I have at hand.

Edit: forgot to mention it is a generic "gentle" Simon save, didn't whore Qum, Altina is saner, Varia wasn't raped and is reshaped
