2. In the specific case of a Reshaped Varia + Saner Altina run, an interesting issue shows up if the player chooses to not get this research, a maxed Wynn becomes necessary which forces the player to invest on the givini magic guild (it isnt too much of an issue since having either the guild or the war monument is mandatory for an optimal performance during the ardan succession crisis, but the war monument could be preferable for its larger new givini score boost and the impact on the Social variable to make it reach 40 before the crisis, this might force the player to make some other investments to make up for not having it).

... So started to play again after taking a break for a while and your number 2 was exactly my issue. Chose orc diversification as first research initially, since I didn't think maxing 12 harem members is an issue until I realized Orilise is locked at 99.^^ I guess for an optimized playthrough Varia has to be dominated. Since I hate doing it I guess I have to work around that by doing Unpeople transformation first und accept not hitting all optimum war results.
