I created this guide from the TBS Decompiler; the specific location of conversations are included so you can explore the files and confirm my findings for yourself if so inclined. It is possible that I may have missed obscure side paths. If you find a node I missed just let me know and I'll add it in.

A few general tips:

• Renown caps at 1000, this wasn't an issue in TBS1 since there simply wasn't enough of it to reach that high, but for TBS2... spend it or you risk losing some if you are at 900+
  
• Try to keep your kill counts even across all characters with certain milestones in mind eg. everyone up to 5, then 8, then 11, then 15, then 19, then 24, and finally 30 - anything more than 30 is wasted (at least until TBS3 is released)
  
• From a kill count and renown viewpoint increasing the danger stat is a good thing, but it does make fights harder by spawning more and higher level enemies - increasing the difficulty setting is really the only way to affect this stat in TBS2
  
• Battles and wars are good things since they give kills and renown, and if you go for a 2nd wave they also give morale and a chance at items; they also help you towards the "Battles fought" achievement
  
• Losing a battle is a bad thing; you can lose an achievement and consequences for losing change from event to event, but will not be covered in this guide. If you are about to lose a battle just reload the latest save and try again, and/or reduce the difficulty setting
  
• In general level as follows: MAX Break > at least 1 Exertion > MAX Strength > MAX Armor > Willpower
  
• Focus on unlocking as many rank 1 talents as possible so you can get the most out of items with +ALL talent rank
  
• 1 Exertion + 2 Break is enough to trigger Dredge splinter chain reactions; more exertion can be useful, but only go up to 3 Exertion if you just want to unlock a talent
  
• The only character you should max out Willpower on is Eyvind (and Alette if she becomes a mender), that is due to how their hero power works (And maybe Eirik)
  
• If you import a save from TBS1, it by default does NOT give you the kills and renown earned from the Bellower fight, and if you try to force it to do so by renaming your "resume.save.json" from just AFTER that last fight to "sav_finale.save.json" TBS2 rejects the save as being from a completed game (bug?)
  
• When undertaking training tent missions, try to get all kills on playable characters, and try to line it up so that your last action kills the last men standing
  
• In the following guide I will BOLD the options that I felt were the "best" but by all means decide for yourself
  
• The tag (unknown flag effects) means that flag is never read in TBS2 so either the consequences were removed by the developers and they just forgot to also remove the flag or you'll only see the consequences in TBS3
  
• The tag "Fail Achievement" refers to "Keep Your Wits" so do NOT take options tagged as such if you want the achievement
  
• The tag “Clansmen Forage” are set points at which the supplies you receive equals num_peasants / 20. There tends to be two of them in most chapters. Since the amount of supplies you receive depends on how many clansmen you have at the time, you generally want to maximize the number of clansmen you have for the event.

There are a basically 2 "forced choice" decisions in each game (this one and it's prequel) however, once you make the first "forced choice" each subsequent one has a... well... "preferred" choice. Sometimes this takes the form of extra rewards, but more often it is simply the path preferred by the characters. I'd recommend choosing one of the two following paths and sticking with it for the best RP experience, this has the added benefit in that if you ever choose to do a 2nd playthrough you can take all the opposite choices.
(TBS1) -> Save Rook -> Recruit Ekkil ->
(TBS2) -> Keep Ludin Alive -> Side with King
vs
(TBS1) -> Save Alette -> Keep Egil Alive ->
(TBS2) -> Send Ludin to his death -> Side with Rugga

TODO! Need to figure out if there is a sweet spot in training fighters to minimize clansmen loss during war events
TODO! Count the kills from training tent missions and which characters get those kills

This is a counter that spans the entire game; as such there are certain things you need to know about it.

• The counter starts at 0
  
• It cannot decrease below 0
  
• It cannot increase above 5

Below I will list all the places where it's value changes without listing spoilers, to get more details simply ctrl-F search the file name.

I have highlighted what I consider to be the "best choices" here as well, and if you follow my suggestions then you should start ch14 with rugga_decision=3 which is the minimum value it can be and still get the best consequence, for more info on that refer to ch14.

All options lead to the same result

=All parties look angry and tense...and then they look at you.=

*Again, the "right" choice here is to side with the varl imo - which ever side they end up on depends on the state of Ludin (alive = side with the King, dead = side with Rugga). If you side against the Varl you will have to commit genocide
