Guide for the Aetoria path, including all subplots from chapter 2a to 6a, work in progress (WIP) with 2a completed so far.
In the game, choicescrypt fairmath is used to adjust the stats. The game reduces from the actual amount, but it adds based on how much that amount lacks from 100. When the stats are low, you lose a little, and when they are high, you lose a lot. Similarly, when the stats are high, you gain a little, and when they are low, you gain a lot. Here are some examples:
- 30 + %10=37
- 30 – %10=27
- 50 + %10=55
- 50 – %10=45
- 70 + %10=73
- 70 – %10=63
Aetoria Path Guide
Relationship stats are important in the game. Most characters start at 50, and without looking at the code of the save, you can only know if it is 65 or above, as it shows a friend, or if it is 35 or below, as it shows an enemy.
Influence is another important factor in the game, and it can only be known based on the text in the game. Here are some examples of how influence works with different factions:
WULFRAMITE INFLUENCE
- If Wulframite influence is 60 above royalist: Your staunch loyalty to the Wulframites has made you an enemy of the Royalist Faction.
- If Wulframite influence is 20 or more above royalist: Your known Wulframite inclinations have made you rather unwelcome among the Royalist Faction.
- If Royalist influence is at least 80: You are considered a leading voice of the Royalist Faction.
- If Royalist influence is at least 60: Your words carry much weight among the Royalist Faction.
- If Royalist influence is at least 40: You are spoken well of within the Royalist Faction.
- If Royalist influence is at least 20: You have only a little influence among the Royalist Faction.
- If Royalist influence is less than 20: You are practically beneath the notice of the Royalist Faction.
ROYALIST INFLUENCE
- If Royalist influence is 60 above royalist: Your steadfast Royalist convictions have made you an enemy of the Wulframite Faction.
- If Royalist influence is 20 or more above royalist: Your known Royalist loyalties have made you somewhat unwelcome among the Wulframite Faction.
- If Wulframite influence is at least 80: The Duke of Wulfram personally considers you a close ally.
- If Wulframite influence is at least 60: You command substantial influence among the Wulframite faction.
- If Wulframite influence is at least 40: You are spoken well of among the Wulframite Faction.
- If Wulframite influence is at least 20: You have only a little influence among the Wulframite faction.

INFLUENCE WITH GRENADIER SQUARE
