Sorry to hear this will be your last game, as I enjoyed your work. But thank you for sharing it with us so far!
For this release, it only a demo because it is incomplete, or are you planning to release the full game later?
It's actually 275, and even MCs that specialize in people/politics knowledge would need to grind a bit to get there!
Considering how busy you can get trying to get the secrets to the legendary endings, I definitely recommend getting the practice in earlier than week 6. I ended up 5 points short of it myself, and had to load up a save two weeks earlier because I didn't have enough free time slots, RIP.
He has a romance and in my opinion it's quite a good one! Not a traditional romance, perhaps, but it's not anything sleazy, there's mutual respect and fondness there.
You need to have high manipulation, invite him to your musicale, and get some of his romance up with specific clever dialogue choices - usually turning his questions back on him and such. He then stops you on the way to your matchmaker and lets you know the terms of engagement (and if you saw some of his secret scenes you already know a bit of what he expects).
I managed to do all the blackmail once and it all went great with totally no consequences. On an unrelated note, Avalie is absolutely terrifying.
I also got Sayra to marriage and I felt so bad for her. Gonna headcanon that the Revaire MC gave some advice on becoming a widow ASAP.
Supporting the royals on Clarmont romance is like, a really long con. Unethical MC with high manipulation doing all that work uncovering secrets just to play him like that. Gotta respect the hustle.
I had the same issue, here's what worked for me (in addition to deleting the save files like you did):
1. Press Window Key + R to get the Run dialogue box
2. Type %appdata% and hit OK
3. In the window that opened, go to the folder Renpy
4. Inside Renpy, find the folder Seven Kingdoms The Princess Problem and delete all the files inside it
That finally let me start totally fresh. Hope it works for you!
Great list, thanks for collecting everything in one place! Yeah, I got so many tabs open when playing this game, all the guides + stat calculator + wiki. Studying for the summit is real!
The piratepad guide is from the old forums, I believe, a lot of people worked hard on it. I hope eventually some of those people come back to play the game to see the fruits of their labor.
For Avalie, I poured a lot of influence in making peace with Jiyel/Arland and giving Jiyel advantage in the negotiations. That, combined with making her my ally, got me her epilogue and the bonus!
No idea about Jasper, maybe he's only happy if you make Katiya's ghost satisfied with the nearly impossible all-legendary outcomes.
To become allies you need two conditions to open up the chance to convince her, then pass a persuasion check:
During her friend date on week 6, you will get an extra set of choices if you saw the secret acene in the garden that week, all the weavers scenes in previous weeks, and have enough respect+friendship:
- I will be satisfied...
- Truthfully,..... Friendship + | Respect ++
- I'm worried, Avalie (Ethical only)
-- I suppose... - Avalie will not become your ally
--I don't think that...
---Let the subject drop. - Avalie will not become your ally
---Attempt to convince her
Pass 455 > Persuasion- "...You are a manager of miracles, Charname." - Avalie will become your ally
Fail < 455 Persuasion - Avalie will not become your ally
According to ye ol' Piratepad guide:
Assassination attempt
-Disarm (Requires 300 defensive instincts on challenge mod and 250 defensive instincts on story mode)
-Scream (Requires high friendship with Ana or being Avalie's ally. If you're Avalie's ally, Pen, Cordelia, and Ana can come too if your friendship is high enough)
-Seduce (Cannot succeed) [tragic doomed romance lol]

I'm not sure what counts as a bad result? One example where I got the "worse" descriptor:
-Arland and Jiyel entered an era of peaceful exchange
-Hise/Corval naval merchantry
-Wellin and Skalt in friendship and alliance
-Rebellion won with many allies, new peaceful age
If this still counts as a bed outcome, Katyia has unrealistically high expectations...
