It's strange to me how some distort reality when polls don't end the way they want them to.

Tia entered the poll June 2024, she placed third in that polls vote. Of the seven other entries in that poll, three others (Arianna, Bianca & Gavina, and Kirlic) have already won. If Julia wins this time around four of the seven won before Tia did.

Imawyn and Umah definitely aren't my favorite characters so no upset for me there. Sophie has so little content it's not surprising that voters are more connected to other LI's than her.

Tia hasn't got more updates than others, and she doesn't win all the time.

Poll June 30.png

The way the polling works pretty much guarantees a window of time until they win. Tia isn't leapfrogging over other choices.

Umah, Imawyn and Sophie always get under 10%, Tia lost to everyone else on this list.

We need to get a Mira army together
This is only the second poll with this entry, she was the new entry in the last poll in May. She isn't going to win for a few more, the weighted past* works heavily against new entries.


* I think the weight polling is the best way to do it, though it only gives slight control to subscribers, the majority of the control is in the order that entries are introduced.

** though new entries are controlled by pre-votes of subscribers.

there will never be an end for Tia updates
Tia updates are what the customers want.
Except... there will be an end, since the pregnancy update is (according to the developer) the final major update for each character. Kate was an exception as it was a test for how he wanted to develop it, but as you can see from Emily, her storyline is mostly played out now. Any further updates will be things happening to other players that affect her (such as Frisha or Mira updates), not her directly, most likely.

Of course, Chyos may change his mind, but it's not like people don't appreciate the other characters. The most common discussions in the discord recently actually revolved around the MILFs in the game tbh and lots of people want more Arianna or Frisha content too.

The weighted polling was brought in specifically because of Tia, since she was winning every early poll apparently (I wasn't a sub or didn't pay attention back then). Chyos wanted more variety, so he started putting in weighted polling and has even put in pity points for certain undervoted characters before (Gwen I know for sure).

More importantly, we'll get qol updates for MC's talents and side quests around Arenfield.
But yes, you'll be able to marry Julia, bring her to your house and, if you so wish, Dave can marry Liandra.

Next year 1 main update and 1 or 2 bonus updates, I fucking bet it.
I'd put whatever amount of money you could muster against that bet.

In order for me to find this in the future so I can rub your nose in it, here is me saying "dumb".

You aren't entitled to any art anyways, updates to games aren't your birthright.

Ugh, I spent a lot of time trying to find an answer, but no luck. So how the hell can I get rid of all those bandit attacks on the mill? I can’t access the nearby camp, and I don’t know which quest it’s connected to.

You'll have to send mercenaries to guard the mill in order to reduce/prevent the rouges' attacks on it.

In order to to do this, you'll have to progress Lyvia's story-line to the point where she joins your party.

But in order to do that, you'll have to defeat and capture Imawyn, the elf bandit leader in the camp.

And in order to do that, you'll have to progress Emily's story-line by giving her meat and wood logs and then sleeping in her spare room until some bandits invade her house and kidnap her.

Until you've done all that, your only option regarding the rouges' constant attacks against the mill is to fight them yourself.

What a shitty choice, Arianna looks like she's in kindergarten and they chose two midgets, what bad taste they have. Ufff

The Bianca and Gavina update was released in Feb, the Arianna update was finished over a month ago, Arianna had been in the polling the longest (the newest entry is added to the bottom, winning entry gets removed). Gavina and Bianca only jumped over Arianna. The oldest poll on Patreon goes back to December 2023, for v0.5.8.0 at that time Arianna was the second oldest entry behind Penny, with Gavina and Bianca in third place.

So man, why are you trying so hard to be upset? You are literally mad at the past, over something that would be dumb to be mad at in the present.

You got folks crying over Tia winning, and crying over another 25% of the poll winning. Some of you all just need to whine. It's fitting that it's never actual subscribers that demand the most.

Wow, I really appreciate your detailed answer, but that wasn’t the thing. I already have mercenaries at the mill, but I’m getting tired of constantly losing them. Is there really no way to wipe all those rogues off the face of the earth? I thought that camp in the west was my answer, but I can’t get to it.

When will Sophie be a romance option?
When she wins the polls, unfortunately she isn't a very popular choice.

Mathematically she can't win the current poll or the next one, due to the weighted poll where past votes carry into the next poll, Julia or Tia will when this current poll. The loser of those two will have an easy win next time.

After that Sophie and Umah are next, and are in a dead heat themselves. Sophie having 332 past votes and currently has 12% of this polls vote. Umah has 331 past votes and 11% in this poll.

Optimistically you are looking at another eight to ten months for a Sophie update. (two months for Kirlic, two for Julia, two for Tia, two for Sophie or Umah, possibly another two if Umah wins.)

Oh, my mistake.

Yeah, there really is no way to permanently stop the rogues from attacking the mill.

But there are two things you can do to reduce the chances of your mercs dying (assuming you haven't already done them):
  1. Get your mercenaries to rank 3. First by training them (which will bring them to rank 2) and then by equipping them with armor sets provided to the MC by John the blacksmith, after you've helped him with his iron weapons order (this brings them to rank 3). It goes without saying that higher rank mercenaries have less of a chance of dying
  2. The rouges (like most mobs in the game) respawn every 3-4 in-game days. So, knowing when they'll respawn, you can camp at the mill and deal with them yourself at the appropriate time - This may/may not work, haven't tried it myself
Beyond the above 2 options, there's really nothing else that can be done at the moment.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean when you mention the "camp in the west."
If you mean the area below the iron mines that's crawling with rogues, then you can in fact reach it.

You have to start Anya's quest and then use a rope that the MC ties to a tree to climb down to that rogue camp.
But reaching there won't stop the rogues from repeatedly attacking the Mill.

I, unfortunately, will be less diplomatic than Apartment817 in my response to the constant whinging about which girls do and don't get voted for an update.

As the Kindergarten Cop once said to a class of kindergarteners, I now say to all you childish gripers:
