Hello thanks for the response the main issue I have run into with the mini game is that when you try to take back a spot or even move out to take a spot in general the ai tries to immediately take territory in your area making it a game based off luck and micro this in itself isn't terrible its more of the buffer in moves sometimes will make situations where you should win easily impossible. I do not know if it is possible but a way to fix this might be to make it so you can split troops per cell so instead of sending your 40 guys make it so you can split 10 off of the 40 and send them in and then split another 10 off to another area and so on.
I do look forward to the games development and while the rep is a little rough the simple solution for the quests right now in my opinion would be if you do not have the rep requirement then the girls do not offer themselves at least until the system gets tweeked that way it feels like the character has more control instead of the player not reciprocating when some player do want to.
