Livius costs 1201 diamonds, behind only Amen at 1995. You get 32 steps, and 4 of them are free. The route warms up slowly: Season 1 is 249 diamonds of mostly small choices, Season 2 is 446, and Season 3 is the expensive part at 506.
The choices that decide the bill
- Season 3, Episode 8: "Decided to follow him." — 155, the top price.
- Season 3, Episode 3: "My kisses will work even better." — 100.
- Season 2, Episode 10: "Realized she loved him." — 77, plus "Livius of Pella" for 50 in the same episode.
- Season 2, Episode 5: "All right." — 68.
Free steps: "Like I care about her!" in Season 1, Episode 9, "Open up." in Season 2, Episode 1, "Try, you can do it." in Season 2, Episode 8 and the eavesdropping choice in Season 3, Episode 5.
How I'd play it
Season 1 is fine to pay as you go: nothing there costs more than 33. From Season 2 on, I'd keep a separate save slot and leave the 155, the 100 and the Episode 10 pair for Diamond Rush. If you want a lighter route in the same story, Ramesses is 687 and Set is 899.
