Thx for the reply
ALTIMADRAKKON, unfortunately I didn't grind 10k points in everything before the ceremony with Sophie, so a slow start for me.
Thx for the tips, but I'm still struggling to work out how to get to 3000 strength from a slow start, I've been grinding for a while, and am now at 1000, so not even close.
I'll try the time-lock thing on Friday for knowledge or cash and see how things go, but I'm starting to think that I might need to majorly cheat to raise strength.
I did get Elisa quite early in the game, the scenes with Octavia (opening massage) and have started Elena and Sasha quest-lines. I also got the 2x slaves from Maaat and the Jaye quest started (10k cash and 50k reputation?) so I don't believe I'm stuck as such, yet.
