Pretty sure there's no more efficient path than this.a Looking at your path, I'm assuming that you let Iris talk during the succubi vote and that you must pay influence for Orcent to talk for the Ivalan Succubi? That should leave you with about 13 influence for the minor issues which wouldn't be enough to get the best results on them. What did you sacrifice?

Also, there is no relationship between the Givini tunnels and the Unpeople. I'm assuming you meant something else since your Tak'kan vote necessitates them along with an Ignias score of 5+ for the best results (though, I guess it could be replaced with Sarai going all in).

Last point, though probably an irrelevant one, there is a flag set up if you manage to reach 10 influence with Annah. It isn't used yet and may prove mostly useless in the future, but that is something else to thrive for. Givini tunnels is needed to appeal to nabith instead of annah on the takkan vote. You don't need the tunnels if you appeal to annah there. I think I overthought that anyway and you can just appeal to Bertricia earlier on instead and there is no scenario where you need a nabith score over the 6 it gets to if you have everything. That was only for the niche scenario where you don't have Altina in your party anyway which is interesting but not optimal since getting her costs almost nothing.

Nabith score starts at 3, it hits 4 after the Unification vote, and moderate reforms puts it to 5 which allows Orcent to speak for free. This happens in every scenario since there are no conditions on what to do on the Unification vote since every other combination of options for that vote is terrible compared to Sarai appeals Nabith and Simon Speaks on Leadership(You get a -2 Esmera score here but it's easy enough to get Esmera back to 10 score at the fucklord vote which is the only point the -2 Esmera score matters).

This path has 20 influence left for the minor issues(overkill). Sarai never has to go all in on a single vote. Annah score is 10 after the takkan vote and stays there. The most likely conditions to be missed for this path to fail is both Ivalan bank and Purity Research completed which costs 3 influence by forcing Sarai to go all in once, and if the Ardith unpeople motion  passed you need to let Simon or maybe Robin speak which costs 2 influence(If simon speaks, you lose the +1 influence you normally get for him staying silent there in addition to the 1 influence you spend to allow him to speak). If you fail both of these you can still get second best results on both mercantile and ardford ban and best results on every other minor issue. If you only fail one or fail neither of these conditions you can get best results on one of those two issues(Mercantile seems like the smarter choice).
