Start - [Player] Greeting Options:

"Greetings, milady." [Plain]
"Welcome to the chamber, your highness. You look rather beautiful today." [Flatter]
"You stand blessed before the presence of Louis XV. What do you have to say for yourself?" [Boast]

(jump to S2 in all of them)



S2 - [Maria Theresa] Greeting Response:

"Good afternoon, your majesty. I'm certain you're aware of the dire situation that both our countries are about to face. I'd like to introduce you to my advisor, Zachariah." (jump to S3)



S3 - [Player] Dialogue Response:

"It is nice to meet you. I have been informed about the recent alliance between Britain and Prussia, and that you sought an audience with me about that matter." [Agreeable] (jump to S6)
"Why did you bring someone else with you? Are you afraid that your own negotiating capabilities are not up to the task at hand?" [Insulting] (jump to S4)
"Dire? How dare you say such things about my country?" [Presumptuous] (jump to S13)
"I'm aware that you were an ally of Britain up until a few moments ago. But here you are." [Scornful] (jump to S4)



S4 - [Advisor]:

"The situation has changed, not to mention that France, too, was allied with Prussia not too long ago." (jump to S5)
"Are you such a dense fellow that you cannot understand the meaning of the Anglo-Prussian alliance? Your country, too, was allied with Prussia not too long ago." [triggered with an impactful negative emotion] (jump to S5)
"I advise you to be more careful with your words, as you speak with the Holy Roman Empress, Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Croatia. Milady?" (answer to insulting) (jump to S6)


S5 - [Player]:

"That is true. So, am I to assume that you wish to prepare for when they do?" [Plain] (jump to S6)
"Nonsense. Your interests with us lie elsewhere, and I'll have none of it until you come clean." [Scornful] (jump to S7)



S6 - [Maria Theresa]:

"Indeed. I'm here to propose a defensive pact between France and Austria, in hopes of fighting the threat of the Anglo-Prussian alliance." (answer to plain, jump to S15)
"That is correct, your majesty. In light of the most recent events, I have come to propose a defensive pact between our two countries." [triggered with an impactful positive emotion] (jump to S15)
"I'll get to the point. I'm here to propose a defensive pact between France and Austria." [triggered with an impactful negative emotion] (jump to S15) (also follows from the advisor's speech in the answer to insulting)



S7 - [Maria Theresa]:

"How dare you? We'll be taking our leave if you continue declaring such unfounded accusations." [triggered with multiple impactful negative emotions] (jump to S32)
"Zachariah, should we back off from this? He's being extremely nosy." [if mood is below zero but the negative option didn't trigger] (jump to S8)
"Zachariah, should we tell him? They'll surely understand our current situation." [if mood is above zero] (jump to S9)




S8 - [Advisor]:
"I believe we should, as he does not seem to be in the most cooperative mood. Perhaps we'll turn to other possible allies, such as Russia." (low favour from Advisor towards Player) (jump to S10)
"Do not be reckless, milady. We should proceed with caution, but I believe we can do as planned." (jump to S11) (high favour from Advisor towards Player)


S9 - [Advisor]:
"Don't be fooled into thinking you know what France's best interests are, milady. We should stick to the defensive pact plan." (jump to S11) (low favour from Advisor towards Player)
"Certainly, milady. I believe His Majesty is wise, and that he'll make the right decision." (jump to S12) (high favour from Advisor towards Player)


S10 - [Maria Theresa]
"You're right. Thank you for your time, but we shall take our leave." (jump to S14)


S11 - [Maria Theresa]
"Of course. I'm here to propose a defensive pact between France and Austria, in hopes of fighting the threat of the Anglo-Prussian alliance." (jump to S15)


S12 - [Maria Theresa]
"Your majesty, my main objective is to prevent any further unwarranted action from Prussia, and to eventually claim back the province of Silesia, which was wrongfully taken from us by the dirty Prussians." (jump to S16)



S13 - [Maria Theresa]:

"My apologies, your majesty, for I could never speak such rot about a country as great as yours! But you do know about the Anglo-Prussian alliance, do you not?" [triggered with an impactful positive emotion] (jump to S5)
"I did not mean to insult your country. But surely you know about the Treaty of Westminster and the Anglo-Prussian alliance." (answer to presumptuous) (jump to S5)
"This is not about your country, you insolent troglodyte. Great Britain and Prussia have estabilished an alliance, and there's no room for either of us in it. [triggered with an impactful negative emotion] (jump to S5)



S14 - [Player]:
"Very well. Our meeting is over, and your demise will come soon after." [Refusal] (jump to S17)
"I'm sorry. Perhaps my words weren't measured to the occasion, but I seek only an understanding between our two nations." [Apologetic] (jump to oldS24 if Apologetic is perceived as negative by the NPC; else, jump to oldS25)



S15 - [Player] (no knowledge of Silesia)

"Are we to assume the usual procedures? Mutual neutrality, no invasions, and in the case of war against any of our nations, relocate a number of troops to give assistance?" [Agreeable] (jump to S18)
"France has got more than enough allies, we do not need your assistance." [Presumptuous] (jump to S21)
"I'd like to take this further, and call for an immediate invasion of Great Britain. We must strike before they do." [Bold] (jump to S23)



S16 - [Player] (knowledge of Silesia)

"Absolutely not. We can't afford to fight your war while defending from Great Britain." [SelfCentered] (jump to S24)
"Very well. We'll assist you however we can, given that we retain control of some of Prussia's provinces after the deed is done." [Agreeable] (jump to S25)



S17 - [Maria Theresa]; Ending 1 (Failed Negotiations)

"Not sooner than yours, you better watch your back. Have a good day." (End interaction)



S18 - [Maria Theresa] Ending 2 (Defense Pact):

"That seems reasonable enough. I'd like to eventually take the war to Prussia's home, but we're off to an excellent start. War will, however, break out soon enough, and we must be ready for it. I'll leave Zachariah to discuss the details of the troops with you. Once again, thank you for your readiness." (jump to S19)


S19 - [Player]

"Thank you. May our alliance be long and fruitful." [Allied] (End interaction)
"I've changed my mind. France does not wish for an alliance with you after all." [Refusal] (jump to S20)


S20 - [Maria Theresa]; Ending 4 (Failed Negotiations)

"You'll come to regret your decision. And when you realize your mistake, it'll be too late. But so be it. Have a good day." (End interaction)



S21 - [Advisor]

"Your majesty, with all due respect, you're not understanding the gravity of the situation. Both our countries are about to be overrun by Great Britain and Prussia if we do not act. (jump to S26)
"I believe this discussion is over. My lady, shall we take our leave? (jump to S22) [triggered with an impactful negative emotion]



S22 - [Maria Theresa] Ending 3 (Failed Negotiations)

"Yes, Zachariah. Have a good day, and an even better demise, you fool." [End Interaction]



S23 - [Advisor]

"It would be suicidal for us to deploy troops against Great Britain, especially when they're trying to avoid an all-out war. My lady and I won't spare troops for that kind of military effort, not when Prussia is right at our doorstep." (jump to S27)



S24 - [Maria Theresa]

"Then so be it. I'm done with you and your french people. Don't say you weren't warned." [triggered with an impactful negative emotion] (End Interaction)
"What about a treaty of mutual defense and neutrality? That would both allow you to fend off the British troops properly, and for us to deal with the little pesky Prussians." (jump to S28)
"Of course, you're absolutely right. What's your plan then, your majesty?" [triggered with an impactful positive emotion] (jump to S30)



S25 - [Maria Theresa]; Ending 4 (Focused on the invasion of Prussia)

"I'm very glad that we've reached an agreement. I'll leave Zachariah to discuss the details of the invasion with you, but I suggest we march immediately. We'll make sure to deploy a special unit of Austrian troops to France, in order to defend against the inevitable British threat. Once again, thank you for your readiness." (End interaction)



S26 - [Player]

"I don't think so. You're trying to take advantage of our current power in order to try and estabilish yourself as a powerful nation, and I won't stand for it. Good day." [Refusal] (jump to S20)
"You do raise a valid point. Should we make the necessary advancements for a defense pact, then?" [Agreeable] (jump to S18)
"That is indeed true. I'd like, however, to focus on the most pressing of those two at the moment, which is Great Britain, and call for an invasion. We would, of course, need a reinforcement of troops from your part." [Bold] (jump to S29)



S27 - [Player]

"Then our discussion is done, along with any hopes of a Franco-Austrian alliance. Have a good day." [Refusal] (jump to S20)
"I understand. Shall we begin with a defense treaty, then?" [Agreeable] (jump to S18)



S28 - [Player]

"I don't think your interests align with that statement. I won't have my troops fight for a deliberate war behind my back." [Refusal] (jump to S20)
"Yes, I would certainly enjoy that for our alliance." [Allied] (jump to S18)




S29 - [Player]

"We want to invade Great Britain as soon as possible." (jump to S30)
"I've changed my mind. France does not wish for an alliance with you after all." [Refusal] (jump to S20)



S30 - [Advisor]

"You're insane. We will not support the war efforts of a madman, and if you think you can take George's army head-on, you're in for a sore surprise. Shall we go, my lady?" (if mood is lower than 3) [End Interaction]
"I see. Although it's risky, I think it could be arranged. What do you think, my lady?" (jump to S31)



S31 - [Maria Theresa] Ending 5 (Focused on the invasion of Great Britain)

"If that's what it takes, then so be it. We shall go along with your plan, but do keep in mind that we need to deal with the Prussian front at the same time, along with any allies that they may have whatsoever. Zachariah and I will depart to Austria immediately, and we'll set out our best squads to lead the invasion to Britain. Thank you for your availability." (jump to S19)



S32 - [Player]

"Very well. Our meeting is over, and you shall not have your alliance." [Refusal] (jump to S20)
"I'm sorry. Perhaps my words weren't measured to the occasion, but I seek only an understanding between our two nations." [Apologetic] (jump to S33 if Apologetic is perceived as negative by the NPC; else, jump to S34)
"Unfounded? I think your little conflicts with Prussia leave more to wonder than just their alliance with Great Britain." [Scornful]  (jump to S33 if Bold is perceived as negative by the NPC; else, jump to S7, mood > 0 option)


S33 - [Maria Theresa] Ending 5 (Failed Negotiations 2)

"It's too late for that. You'll be ruined in no time, looking at how you handle your negotiations. Good day." (End interaction)


S34 - [Maria Theresa]

"Well, if that's how it is, I'll be happy to oblige. As you already realized, I'm here to propose a defensive pact between France and Austria." [if NPC has low consideration of the player] (jump to S15)
"Of course, your majesty. I'll have to apologize for my behaviour as well. My nation has been in conflict with Prussia, who took the province of Silesia from us. Will you help us? In exchange, we will help you with your conflict with the British." (jump to S16)
