With a "perfect run", she will only have 84 by the end of Chapter 3, and 95 at best now, with the appropriate expensive (1,800,000 ProN) investments.

To reach 99, you need to get the "consolation points" from fixing things that went wrong through Political Capital and Military Reserves. I.e. you need both Total CD < 100 && Instablity ≥ 50 && Religion < 9 && Arclent Acceptance ≥ 25 at the same time. I havent considered that, but after doing the math it seems it still be possible if excavaton gets implemened and it's current affection bonus (+5) doesn't change, 95 score from a perfect run would be excatly enough. I would need to heavily change my last investment round to also fund Lustlord Temples. I already funded War Monument in 1st investment round to help with Ardan Crisis. Skipping Ceekaan Shipping, Trade Pillar Righs, Stineford Weapon Store and Tradesmasher Guild in addition to skipping Givini Tunnels i mentioned earlier would let me get everything I need to max Riala during next investment round.

It might be pointless to think about it as it depends on excavation being implemented, it's affection boost being unchanged, requires otherwise suboptimal investments and might be invalidated anyway if there will be +5 Riala affection boost available in story sometime before next investment round anyway. I just wanted to point out the possibility is there.

Also, if the excavation is not implemented by the next round perhaps changing message might be a good idea. Current one (starting with "Really?") seems like accusing player of cheating to me (i might be wrong though, I'm not native english speaker), which might not be the case in next round.
