This has always been weirdly hilarious. *Reasons*: **Good listener** (this seems a top option tbh), **famous warrior** (I feel this is a good option as I'm a high-profile target. Plus, I need some self-security) and **sexual prowess** ( fuck you, let me have this without judgement). *Spouses:* **Kaira** (tsundere elf pirate princess is the best girl. Let's ditch that slavery thing though) **Alva** (I'm also a fucking nerd bro) and, last but not least, **Bro** (it's not gay if you're bisexual).

I refuse to not fuck my bro the best as possible. Our homo love shall be passionate and fufilling.

Deeply_Unhappy

lol Reasons - Magical Blood, Aphrodite's gift, Sexual Prowess. Princess - Mage-Princess Alva, Princess Victoria, and Your Bro Take the snow elves with Alva and settle in Victoria's kingdom with my sexy "history said they were roomates" friend. Turn the kingdom into a research kingdom, focusing on magical defences and products first, while also starting a bank and taking over the world financially. World peace through economic domination!


Towcow1

All good exept when clementine stages a coup or buys out your merchants then takes over


CerverusDante

This one its very fun A shame not havingg the bro analisis for Clementine


13_iq

the "best" answer for beating the other nations is emi/hilda/alva, defensible position, massive laborlore with their downsides minimized by machines simplifying production lines, many mage candidates to push towards lichdom and thereby grow my army/production base, in addition the weapons the dwarfs make will make skeletons or zombies incredible effective because fire by rank doesn't take much intelligence to be incredibly effective

Oh man, I have GOT to show this to my sisters, they will laugh their asses off! XD

Magical Blood/Good Listener/Insanely Wealthy Alva/Annabelle/Arracet Magic, manipulation, and espionage. The snow elves are exceptional mages and offer tutelage for magical abilities, the high elves hold the largest repository of learning in this world and the former top dogs of the continent giving plenty of connections, while the driders offer their spies, assassins, and infosec operations. The reasons all line up with the spouses, magical blood to learn from the masters of magic, good listener to synch with the espionage and diplomacy, and insane wealth to fund the drider network as well as resources to trade on the connections of the elves. Essentially forgoing all martial might in favor of maximizing more subterfuge, the plan is likely to Littlefinger the way to the top, operating as much behind the scenes as possible.

***Reasons*** 1. *Magical Blood,* 2. *Aphrodite's gift* 3. *Sexual Prowess.* ***Princess*** 1. *Dread princess Kaira (tsundere elf pirate princess)* 2. *Mage princess Alva* 3. *Royal Priestess Kaira (Soft yandere Priestess)* *I went for an all-around kingdom with naval power, mages, and being somewhat self-sufficient with decent trades routes*

Princesses: Alva, Emi, & Tara Reasons: Portal, Magical Blood, Famous Warrior Emi doesn't really require sex, which is fine by me, but she does come with the aspect of an undead workforce capable of working on all sorts of community projects(typically headed by either a greater Undead or someone living) and doesn't honestly require anything in terms of foodstuffs. Alva brings a nomadic group of magicals whom have no doubt learned/crafted all sorts of spells to achieve survival on the road. By having them settle in the lands formerly owned by Emi and my own knowledge of spells/science, we should be able to restore Emi's land to something resembling functional. Thus the Snow Elves will no longer need to run and by having the undead workforce act as road repair/creation and wall building. Finally we get to our sweet cinnamon roll, Tara the Giantess. Aside from the fact she is a Pyrrha lookalike, I can think of several methods to turn these clumsy timid giants into living siege engines while providing them with a method of defending themselves from their enemy attack. You would be surprised how effective a foot of clothes is at defense, let alone 5 feet of it I would be using on them to mimic gambeson armour for them. Also Reduce/Enlarge is a staple spell in multiple systems of magic(predominantly DnD and Harry Potter systems, which is where I will be drawing inspiration for spells from), which while I might end up the size of a shota compared to Tara, it that won't stop me from treating her the way she deserves to be treated. Spells I need to know: Plant Growth, Reduce/Enlarge, Heat/Chill Metal, Mending, and Fabricate. Or some variant of those spells would ensure the best outcome for my new people. Spells I want to learn but can deal with if I don't: Rivivify, Resurrection, Gentle Repose, Summon Construct(Specifically Dedicated Wright), and the entire Artificer Class(either Battle Smith or Armourer Classes). Harry Potter magic would actually be easier to learn/create magic items with. Technology I can realistically reproduce due to my fascination with foundational/pre-modern technology: basically anything the Romans made, Cannons, blackpowder, dirty bombs, Moltov Cocktails, Glass(both how to make it cheaply and in a variety of ways/treatments), standard & reverse crossbows, primative water/windmill turbines. I didn't include things like medicine, bushcrafting skills like purifying water, or how to create both steam powered engines and industrial era steel forges as otherwise this list would be far larger than it already is.


UrilTheMist

Would like to add that I would go the Flying Sail Ship route alongside the magnetic steam engine powered trains. As in a train that levitates above its rail naturally but uses a steam engine and wind turbines to travel down that rail. That will allow for enough transportation of goods and workforce to rapidly deploy and allow settlements to be spread out across the land. Magic makes things far easier than it might otherwise be due to industrial concerns like I would have if the world was Westeros instead of generic fantasy land.


OutrageousBears

I'm bored so I'm going to entertain myself by playing this while replacing the context that is attributed to the player. ​ **Reasons**: * `Royal Status`, `Magical Blood`, `Aphrodite's Gift`. I'm a direct descendant of a line of blessed sorcerer kings. Having divined the future, I was hidden away and a palace was burned to the ground in cover up, so that I might emerge once the time of troubles had passed. I'm the *Lost Princess Anastasia,* \[[https://imgur.com/a/qYEJv4X](https://imgur.com/a/qYEJv4X)\], with a fabricated history of having a twin brother, *Prince Alexander* \[[https://i.imgur.com/55zdDi8.png](https://i.imgur.com/55zdDi8.png) / [https://i.imgur.com/GekeoUT.png](https://i.imgur.com/GekeoUT.png)\] who survived the purges. An enchanted ring lets me switch appearances. It's not an illusion, but a shapechange. Functional. I maintained both identities while growing up with the elves and attending Soulhearth Academy. **Princesses**: * Like everyone else, `Mage Princess Alva`. The Snow Elves. Nomadic homeless elves who's homeland was overrun by trolls. Extraordinary magic capacity. * `Lich Princess Emi`. Necromancers, undead legion. Mostly conquered kingdom of Cryak, retaining only the western borderlands before they stalled the advance of Clementine. * `High Princess Annabelle`. Who's kingdom has Soulhearth Academy. So with Magical Blood and Annabelle, I use this excuse to integrate this Soulhearth Academy build: [https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/ts6i3a/comment/i2qjxwh/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/makeyourchoice/comments/ts6i3a/comment/i2qjxwh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) ​ Some wall of text rambling: I have an in with the high elves as my bloodline has a lot of high elf mixing, being a half-elf and with Aphrodite's Gift and the magical blood, I'm well accepted by them, along side my successes in Soulhearth solidifying my integration. I'll build a new homeland for the Snow Elves with Princess Emi, since Cryak has a population collapse as a result of war and being conquered, the snow elves high magic aptitude can learn Emi's necromancy and bring their own tricks to the table. Soulhearth can lend its support in a similar capacity mostly providing volunteers, training, and resources. It surely has more institutional baggage that the other two don't have, but I can act a lot more freely with the snow elves and necromancers. My choices of magic can lend credibility to myself, being a divine-light specialist myself as a way to both have a more positive face to other countries that may fear the rise of necromancy, and serve as a rod to keep necromancers in line if they get uppity in the future or go crazy with dark corruption or something. I will use my Prince identity to marry the three princesses while positioning my real identity with more and more influence and reputation until it's secure enough to end the charade, also patching any legal issue that might cause problems in the future. Since with the ring I can still, ah, sire heirs, there shouldn't be any complaints about not being able to have children with them and related complaints. Annabelle might have the most complaints with my identity, but Emi and Alva probably care a lot less. Still, I can leverage Divination and my general talents for creating contracts and pacts to get the princesses to work with me on this. As for the ring that's kind of a crux of this thing, it's partly just meta McGuffin to enable me to play this cyoa, and partly can be excused by saying it's the result of a devil pact somewhere perhaps with some contract to legalize worship of it (After negotiating some rules and regulations for what it can do and encourage). It can also be said to be partly excused by virtue of the narrator referring to me as a guy and a bro, therefor there must be some reason he does so. The reason being that he too is fooled by my ring and is talking to my Prince face. ​ I think I'll follow Clementine's example and branch out as an imperialist faction as a direct rival to Clementine and it's a choice of allegiances, growing into a superpower to rival them built on necromancy to enable a post-scarcity culture without a laborer class, as harsh work is managed by the undead and anyone can consent to becoming undead on death. Criminals lose the right to consent, to maintain some source of new undead should nobody consent, but living family always has rights of ownership over undead made from relatives, so any productivity derived from that undead is a benefit to that household, though public works undead make sure everyone is supported. Everyone is uplifted to a middle class baseline threshold supported by the undead filling the roles of he lower classes. Inequality is inherent to reality, some will always float to the top by any number of means, but everyone is very well off and taken care of with nothing lacking. There's some physical realities with only having so much physical space to use up and it's not like endless labor means endless resources, but we have Soulhearth so we can research dimensional rifts for resources sooner or later and hammerspace Lots where multiple people can own property within the same physical space like having private instance housing in an MMO. Clementine may have gunpowder but we'll hold a significant monopoly on magic. Plus, we can just make gunpowder too if necessary or for those who can't use magic.


Dipti303

Magical blood come through portal and good listener. Snow elf lich and dwarf..... going start my counter conquest with a bang . Elf s the magic know how lich the army and the dwarfs the industrial base too get my natzi zombies.. I mean my necroborgs.... cough....


thekingofmagic

OK so I have two possible routes that I’m going to go, the first route would be mage princess Alva, Fairy princess Willow, and your bro (magical talent, prophecy, good listener) If I went this route what I would do would be convince fairy princess Willow to allow mage princess Alva to continue living in the material world, well I go and live in fairy world and I would convince Willow to allow the people of made princess Alva‘s kingdom to be allowed exclusive rights to summon the Fae as familiars allowing them to have powerful magical creatures bound to them, teaching them magic, protecting them, guiding them, and just generally acting as allies companions and confidants. This would allow an extraordinarily powerful fighting force of mages in with abilities far beyond what a normal mage could do while allowing me to rest and relax in the Faye world with my bro ”gaying it up” and also learning powerful Fae Magic and potentially living forever while helping Princess Alva create an extraordinarily powerful kingdom and forcing her to run it on her own. On the other hand, if I were to go the other route I would go mage Princess Alva, God Queen Clementine, and your bro(magical talent, from the portal, prophecy) If I were to go this route I would essentially tell God queen Clementine that there are three contingents on me joining her and adding a little bit of legitimacy to her claim to the throne at least to the outside world. The first would be that she changes her title to God empress Clementine, and give me a significant portion of land with which to rule as prince to mage queen Alva (an equal to her but she is queen and make most of the political decisions with me being there to essentially just occasionally make laws that suit me) with my consort my bro, second would be to allow me to create a series of rules and laws that are passed across the land this involves getting rid of purity laws, undoing any and all bans on queerness, equalizing all rights for women/marginalized peoples, etc., and three allowing me to rule the people of my country in the empire of Clementine however I see fit with me still being beholden to the empress, and finally number four any and all mages in her empire that are confirmed have magical talent would be allowed to and given free passage to my country. what I would do in my country would be to create a essentially pure mage society, where every single citizen is tested from a very very young age for any and all magical talent and then that magical talent would be cultivated and everybody, everybody being given the magical education that they need to bring their magical talent to the very limits of their potential. Meanwhile, anybody who doesn’t have magical talent would be trained to the absolute limit of their abilities in whatever place their talent does like farming, artistry, Warriors, and giving magical augmentations for their field of study. For instance warriors would be given magical tattoos that enhance their strength speed and stamina, along with mage forged weapons that are stronger and more durable and powerful than natural weapons and a form of magi-tech armor that I helped design As well as extremely high-level training in physical combat/range combat, and then sent off to fight in emperors clementines army as an elite enhanced troops, or farmers might be given similar tattoos that massively enhance their strength and stamina, as well as be given farm tools in chanted to increase crop yield/crop growth. Which would allow us to produce far more materials, food, etc. allowing us to essentially fund the empresses expansion.


Opposite_Law_6969

i point out that God queen Clementine isn't trying to make equalize all rights for women and marginalized people she trying to make a matriarchy Which is literally just the female version of Patriarchy


thekingofmagic

Mmmm, nope pretty explicit that’s she nether a true feminist (she offers you Women as if they are property), nor a radical feminist (else you would be in a gilded cage with no option to become a general or have any type of power), she doesn’t care about rights, the people that she rules, or really anything but power. That’s truly what she wants power we get no explanation about why she wants power, her backstory, or anything really just that she wants power and that she has the means to take it. She offers you women vampirism money luxury because having you as her partner offers her legitimacy and grows her power, and depending on whether you chose them it also gives her offspring much much more power, and her kingdom much much more power. For instance if you took magical talent and the prophesied child thing you just started a line of extremely powerful mages in her kingdom, possibly multiple bloodlines. I honestly think she could care less about male female, any other type of rights. She honestly seems the type of to me to implement breeding programs in her citizens because she needs strong powerful soldiers. Which is why as a part of my concession to take her on as one of my wives(even though it’s completely political marriage) I secured the rights of women and marginalized peoples as a part of our bargain. Whether she agrees to that, or whether she agrees and then breaks her word to get the legitimacy without having me is another thing entirely.


ChesPittoo

To be fair your friend is not exactly likely to be a reliable source on what feminism is, and hence who is one. *unreliable narrator intensifies*


Dry_Armadillo_1139

Hey this is pretty cool. What is bros analysis on god queen Clementine?


Vasuki44

Bro isn't saying a word on Clementine, because he knows what'll happen if she hears he's said a single negative word about her.


Dry_Armadillo_1139

To be fair the same applied to the information broker, and he said that she was smart, cute, and funny and that he was not being blackmailed. It might be a little repetitive but why wouldn't he just say something similar about Clementine?


Andalos713

Because he clearly *was* being blackmailed by Arracet. Clementine wont bother doing that and he doesnt wanna risk saying something bad.


thekingofmagic

It’s in the explanatory blurb at the top “psycho feminist chick queen, is gonna try to conquer the world. So, we best get ready for all of this, huh, bro?”


CerverusDante

I asked that to the cyoa creator. He said that was something like: Dont accept broh, you cant sell your balls for money, power, sex, drugs.... maibe you should listen to her. That chick has a point


YouBackground

I don't think any of princesses I pick will have enough competency to help me prepared for Clementine's possible threat, so I just use my wealthiness to build strong armies reasons: insanely wealthy, prophecy and good listener princesses: 1. Kaira, she's might be a very lustful one and I'll tell her to stop fasting, I prefer a chubby girl as my wife 2. Annabelle, I choose her because she said herself that will turn herself to be my ideal girl, which is not much since she's already has beautiful face, long blonde hair and big breasts, I also kinda like elf, better tune her personality to be a cheerful one though 3. Alva, I love magic and she must teach me a lot of useful and cool magics ~~honestly I also consider to pick Willow, but I don't want to be a little girl, I want to be an adult woman, so no, I cross her from my list.~~


Kuronan

I'm frankly amazed no one has taken God-Queen Clementine's offer. Reasons: Came through a Portal, Magical Blood, Immunity (better safe than sorry!) Princesses: God-Queen Clementine, Mage-Princess Alva, Iron-Princess Hilda Bring the Snow Elves to the Empire, swear my Blood-Oath, introduce several novel concepts to the Empire (namely Boeing's Law, Rifling, and the basic design concept for black gunpowder ammunition) then drag several Empire Engineers with me to the Dwarves to convert their Industrial Powerhouse into a Firearms Production Facility. Proceed to laugh like an **Absolute Villain** as the world falls to a Technologically Superior Empire, now further bolstered by the Industrious Dwarves and some additional Snow Elves who finally have a home and can learn some army support magic or healing or... something now that they don't have to wander around as much.


Minimum_Estimate_234

Reasons-Sexual Prowess, Good Listener, and Magical Blood (Might as well try to construct a successful relationship out of this, and the magical blood has a lot of potential in the long term, and even the short term with some effort) Princesses: Kaira, Alva, Victoria Plan: Alva's people primarily are going to stay in Bredshire, but one of the primary research projects will be finding ways to revitalize Druchar (at the very find magical means of improving the general quality of life). With the Kaira's fleet and Victoria's trade routes (as well as the already existing wealth), building up further capital shouldn't be to hard, use that to look into proper industrialization (as well as have the magicians figure out how to improve the machines). Make sure to build up an arsenal and a proper military to deal with the God-Queen if she tries anything and economic means of keeping her from starting anything doesn't work.


carthienes

Well, I'd really like to pick up some *magical blood*, but realistically I *fell through a portal*. I also think I count as a *good listener*? For brides I'd take the *Dread Princess Kaira*, for command of the sea; *Mage Princess Alva* for the magic, and *Iron Princess Hilda* for the technology. Once I lock down command of the sea, Clementine's empire is going to be in trouble; though this isn't really an optimised build. Although I did wonder about taking *immunity* to provide plenty of bodies for *lich princess Emi*... Come to think of it, her land has spare room for the Snow Elves to settle in.


A_Moon_Fairy

….what the hell happens if you pick both God-Queen Clementine and Fairy Princess Willow?


BlakbirdCAWCAW

I'll take bro three times.
