Best to label that a spoiler my friend. But I chose Treviso. Antiva has no army and Manranthis has mages who can fight off their invaders so I chose to help the Crows. Too bad the Dragon boss fight was impossible to the point where I had to lower the difficulty to Storyteller. Only to realize that the way to beat that Dragon was to disable one of his legs. I just aimed for the head for the 5 times I've faced him lol.

I went with Treviso because a. intending to romance Lucanis (priorities!) and b. as mentioned above, Tevinter is full of fucking mages who should be able to do something. Not my fault they didn't defend their own city.
Neve really doesn't like or trust Rook now, which is ok I guess story wise but she's kinda bitchy about it, like Yennefer if Geralt dumps her for Triss.

I hope it is okay to drope my opinion about it: This was a really bad choice. I go with Treviso, because my HC is a crow. Other choices feel more even. As other said why should i protect the stronger army from an weaker enemy. This is an RPG and i want choices i don't want to choose. This was weak. It is sad. Hope their is at least one more choice, because this was underwhelming.

Same as everyone else, I also chose Treviso. Strong mages with ranged magic vs civilians with no way of defending themselves. Plus I’m a warden, so the thought of blighted Treviso vs ‘just’ occupied Minthrathous made it an easy choice. Easier to fight a coup than a blight.
I really feel like Neve (and I suspect Lucanis will too, if you chose differently) is being unfair. It’s not like we’re the only ones who could save the city. We even split the party and sent 3 people to each, so unless they think we single handedly could take down a dragon, I see no reason for why this choice is our fault.

Minrathous. Reasons: My Rook is a shadow dragon, and she couldn't abandon her home town.
Agree it was a bit much for Lucanis to be mad at Rook for that considering they were both trying to save their homes, and some Veilguard members went to help each place.
There was a dialogue icon above his head after he came back. When Rook went to talk with him, he said he wasn't in the mood for talking...

Minrathous, it was an obvious choice for my Shadow Dragon. She's one of those 'I hate my hometown but will defend it every chance I get' people.
With my Mourn Watch Reaper, I made alternate saves because I wanted to explore each option for her. Treviso doesn't have an official army, it's true, but Minrathous falling could mean much more dire things for the north than what happens to fantasy Venice. (Still, kept that one save so I might try the Lucanis romance later.)

Treviso. I'm playing a Grey Warden, and probably won't even romance Lucanis for being an abomination. Minrathous has the most everything. - They have big name mages: Mae and Dorian as well as a horde of regular citizen and magister mages
- Neve, Bellara, and Harding were also sent.
- They have the Shadow Dragons.
Felt like the venatori already ruled the place so that consequence felt pretty inconsequential. Whereas Blight can ruin a country for decades (Fereldan) or centuries (the Anderfells) I also figured that if we didn’t help Treviso, the Antaam will just take over completely without anyone to stand against them, even in the shadows and overall have an even stronger foothold in Antiva. Treviso doesn’t have any mages, especially after the Antaam has been slaughtering what few of them there were. They don't even have a standing army, the crows aren't built for it and truly can't pivot. Strategically, Treviso is the weakest of the two cities and the most to be harmed from being ignored. Imagine my upset when the only consequence immediately following is a companion being mad at you. I really hope I see this decision mattering later.

Treviso but the choice was underwhelming. I enjoyed how Neve reacted but the mission itself was sorta meh.
And I picked Treviso (drumrolls) literally because crows are cooler to me than shadow dragons, this name is so stupid, I don't care, get eaten by dragons.

Oh shit, don't tell me I fucked up my romance?? I want to romance Neve but saved Treviso because of the reasons everyone else did. My Lord Of Fortune has no emotional connection to either place, so I made the chocie that sounded the most rational given the I do on how defenseless Treviso is. I didn't even think about romance consequences...
I assume Neve will get over it at some point? Will making her hardened as a result affect the romance, does anybody know?

I went with Treviso as well. And, because I didn't do the walk through Minrathous mission with Neve before that, she became hardened. This makes certain perk points more powerful but also blocks out her healing skill tree.

That choice had me stop my playthrough for about 2 hours because the decision was actually HARD for me, and it seems I was the only one who struggled with it so far Chose Treviso, but the dilemma was real! First, it was a choice between supporting the city of my two potential love interests for Rook (yup, real problems!) I was also EXTREMELY tempted to make Lucanis's romance a slow-burn after quickly playing through the Minrathous part to see what happens, then reading up on the consequences for either Neve or Lucanis. Some had a bug for Lucanis's romance after that choice though, so that was meh to read. Secondly, in my background story for Rook, he was fleeing to Tevinter from his circle during the DAI events. When he eventually arrived there, nothing was like he imagined it, gutted about the state of the poor there. In the end he left instead of trying to find a life there and maybe do some good, so he feels letting Neve down when she tries to make the place better for her people means to also let down these poor folk again. (Which is somewhat nonsense, but it's how I imagine my Rook feels ) So some emotional stuff in my head, but in the end, I chose to save Treviso for the reasons people in here did, too. I think the mission itself was too short and a bit lackluster, but it was gut-punchy to return to Minrathous and see the consequence of not helping them. The atmosphere in the city is really well-captured to me. Neve hasn't returned yet, so I can't wait to see that drama play out.

Considering it's a 50/50 choice I'm surprised Minrathous won by a large margin.

Minrathous mainly because in world of Thedas they mentioned Minrathous was a city of over 1 million people and Treviso is probably 60-100 thousand tops and i had no idea the outcome at the time.

While I prefer Treviso as a city, I found Shadow Dragons to be a more sympathetic faction. I really liked the Viper (though he's just an upgraded Fairbanks when you think about it), and of course Dorian and Maevaris. So I wanted to choose Minrathous, but I'm trying (trying being the operative word here) to romance Lucanis, and as melbella said, priorities.
I found this choice actually quite painful, because Lucanis and Neve are my two favourite companions. Now Neve dislikes me, but even worse, I hate that she's been hardened, and I've heard it's permanent. It's like Virmire, but with companions I really like (sorry to Kaidan and Ashley fans).
