Lets see what happens when I don't open the ruins before the war... I can hit 175 army size, buy every profitable investment purchasable after the third arclent war before the war, get the succubus tower, mage guild, AND war monument for max results even the useless extra +3 fheliel rp if you side with old zirantian league.

Hmm... the only place I can find to get the 1 tower front needed to get to 29 tower front is sanctity plate instead of orc sphere or spending a research for it.

So I'd say perfect results for a no one zirantia playthrough are impossible without opening the ruins before the war.

Opening the ruins might cost 1 Ghenalon score and 2 fheliel rp from insufficient ghenalon assist and you don't have the orc sphere, or you don't research construct bodies and research tower delving or demonic understanding(And don't get the orc sphere) instead costing you 2 Sabitha rp. Don't feel tower defenses research during the first 3 iterations would be an improvement since Orc Diversity, Sex and Purity, and Unwoman cure are more valuable imo.

Probably best to just aim for 12 Ghenalon assist at the first battlefield. Got more than enough fheliel rp to spare if you did the Yarra + Qum Ogre scene back in yarra's route and 1 Ghenalon score probably won't break things, and you won't have to sweat so much about getting 5 million pron for the ruins before the war which I can barely do and still buy all the investments that get locked out after the war.
