Oh. In that case, I'm stumped. I'll keep combing through the code for what might be going wrong, but if you can upload a save and tell me the sequence of actions from the start of the battle to the crash, I'll probably be able to fix it much more quickly.
I get it when i had just one chosen on field but captured.
I am totally with you I have a horrible time understanding what is happening and need someone to help me understand what i am doing wrong.
On phone though so I can't check the guide , so going off by memory.
Did the explanation text stop at some point during the tutorial. It's build in a way that it stops working when choose a different action than listed. There's also a text file in the game folder which explains a lot.
You give some good advice but this part is worg and/or misleading. The "---|-" part of the character profile indicates how the damage resistance is shifted. While it can be 50/50 usually either the TRAUMA or the CIRCUMSTANCE is easy to damage while the other is not. The core/minor/significant are an indicator to how it's shifted. Core vulnerabilities are hard to damage the respective circumstance.
Your first 4 categories are called trauma and the second group is circumstance.
What does the inspect/profile list? Iirc you need to be at 1000% or higher and then use the right commander.
Apologies if you felt it was outright misleading. Given they were struggling with the basic principles of the game I thought it would be easier just to boil it down to simple rules of thumb rather than engage more in depth with the mechanics and potentially confuse them more. It was in no small part worsened by me bungling the wording completely as I for some reason accidentally lumped my statements regarding trauma and circumstance together when I meant to address them individually. Your statement regarding the bars covers anything a rule of thumb maxim could cover in that regard anyway so I suppose there's no point me trying to salvage that mess into saying what I originally meant now.
Sent you the file through your email! Hope it's something specific to my file only.
I was maybe a bit harsh, its a good game but its way too coplicated for its own sake. I started with cheats, maxed out everything there was to max out and i stil have no clue what to do lol. I just click random things and the only one doing anything is the maxed out commander demon that i bought.
Personally, I'm more selective these days, avoiding some breaks entirely for RP purposes and making much more use of specialized commanders, but the above strategy is extremely effective and can lead to a thoroughly broken party by day 25 at the most. That said, some Chosen are just a bitch to crack, in particular ones with Core Morality + Core Confidence, because those vulnerabilities are the ones that let you snowball even more circumstance damage.
Thanks for this, I'd definitely still be searching if not for you sending it to me.
I swear that the guide.txt used to be a lot shorter and more concise. It's just that as more stages of corruption were added, it seemed appropriate to add more paragraphs to it. Maybe I should separate "Tips for new players" from "More detailed info about the mid- and late-game."
The Chosen's resistance to impregnation comes from their moral purity. As they use Slaughter more, impregnation effectiveness will go up.
To elaborate Slaughter reduces the surround duration of other surrounded heroines. So you want to aim for long single heroine surrounds. Focus on stacking PLEA, as that's the biggest trauma multiplier. Be careful when spamming next turn/attack/any other action since Slaughter will be more and more effective with each use. Surround timers will drop fast. If you pay attention you will always be able to surround someone else while there's still surrounds available.
In this game, imho, you can't just mindlessly click a few button to get to a sex scene. The systems and outcomes are too interwoven were cheating stats and/or EE and stumbling around blindly will still not get you very far. You don't need to understand and maximize everything but if you don't enjoy at least learning the basics this is probably not the game for you. There's plenty of other text-based and/or corruption games to play.
I dont have a problem with learning basics, i have a problem when theyre awfuly described and both ingame tutorial and the guide doesnt explain anything. Im still unclear what the ----|-- means because sometimes a ----|-- is described as a weakness and other times the -|------ is a weakness or vulnerability or whatever its called.
It denotes how the damage resistances/vulnerabilities are distributed between the trauma, on the left, and the circumstance, on the right. It's changes once you break the respective vulnerability.
