Wow, the bullying is real. Just vote for whatever you like most @Microwave MKII, you've contributed enough to have everyone at least respect that. Don't worry about viability, we will sort this out ourselves.
Regardless of the combo you end up voting for, I'd suggest going for a tactical vote for Towers since Walls winning with the current options would be really rough. We've still got a day so there's always time to change if Crown loses its lead.
But with Be the Change, they can. People want the power inherent in enshrining Hunger as their Sovereign, the fulfillment that comes with rekindling his dreams of democracy. That's understandable. But proclamations that he has achieved strength sufficient to succeed where his former self failed are wildly premature, when he's been a Cursebearer for three weeks. Also, remember that Hunger takes his obligations seriously. This is a defining trait of his, evident in everything from his interactions with the Accursed to his willingness to cede the Temple's Treasure to the Brutes had he but given his word to do so."Maybe if no other monsters decide to venture here," Gisena murmured. Cutely she held back a yawn. "Can't expect us... to save them every time..."
[ ] Intervention Mk. I - Aeira's family has some experience ruling this nation, right? They should be in power. Two allied civilizations are better than one. [+1 Arete, Starts Elixir Sovereign sub-plot. Should be fairly brief]
Be the Change | Intervention | Walls | Tower | Crown | Stranglethorn | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Current Period | 8600 | 2350 | 5865 | 4298 | 8600 | 2350 |

We may have other chances to truly reform the Elixer sovereignty but it is much more likely that we will never have another opportunity to see the walls.
Assuming you don't destroy everything (a not entirely safe assumption), you can always stop by the Walls on your way back!
Technically he never said we had to destroy them deliberately, and IMO the possibility that we (or our enemies) will destroy them through collateral damage seems non-trivial.Actually, Rihaku straigt up stated the opposite, that we could always see the walls on our way back as long as we don't deliberate destroy them.

Look, that's straight-up missing a piece. Intervention + Walls + Saving while at the walls, in the face of interesting and possibly synergistic magics, is guaranteed safety from Ber if Arete generation is sufficient.Ugh. From a Not Dying perspective, Crown is terrible. If our Arete generation comes up short, we straight up lose. Crown is greedy, Intervention + Walls is guaranteed safety against Ber and likely against the Tower as well.

Going to the Walls may also gate important tactical data behind learning the magic, offering a choice between death chance from Ber, and death chance from the Tower. Crown does provide some immediate safety from the Tower, quite possibly speeds travel a bit, and is a significant boost in several ways, current and future.
I am not voting for it. I think Stranglethorn is probably safer. But please, don't be so hard on it.
Laissez-faire, is doomed at this point, so I'll go ahead and switch. There's no way I'm going to vote to put people we know nothing about other than that they made "several critical errors in business" in charge because they're related to a mercenary we hired. That's not even half-assed, it's one-sixteenth assed at best.
Well, they let Aeira travel with you, which is nothing less than a sign of great, even prescient, judgement! Consider - those very travels put them in position to potentially take control of the entire Sovereignty!
Don't fall for his circular logic, might as well toss out half the resumes you get without a glance because you don't want to hire unlucky people. Anyway, she had to badger them for a day straight to get permission, so I think it speaks more to Aeira's persuasiveness/initiative/foresight than her family's. So leave them out of it, let's just set her up as god-queen.I can kind of see the thought process here? Might just be motivated cognition on my part though.
