Just discovered this game and think it is really cool. Doing my best to just poke around the game and figure out how it works. But I am confused by this part in guide.txt:
The relationship between any given pair of Chosen is determined by counting up the core break events between them so far. If there are more positive than negative, then they're friends. If they're more negative than positive, then they're enemies. Ties are decided in favor of the higher-tier break, and if the positive and negative are equal after that, then they'll have an unsteady friendship (with smaller bonuses). If there aren't enough possible core breaks remaining to change which one has the majority, then the relationship will be upgraded to an unbreakable one which has magnified bonuses or penalties. "Significant" vulnerabilities (which rank below "core" and above "minor") don't factor into this sytem, and can be broken in any order.
Is there anyone who can break this down or reword this? Thanks in advance.
Whenever a Core Vulnerability Break happens, that Chosen will have a scene (core break event) with whichever Chosen has the same Vulnerability as a Minor right after the combat. Events are positive if the Minor Vulnerability is also broken and negative if the Minor Vulnerability is unbroken.
Calculating the relationship between two Chosen is just a matter of counting the positive and negative events. There are 16 events in total, across all of the Chosen for any given team, but most Chosen will have either 4 or 8 events between them.
If the Chosen have 4 possible events between them (one Core matches up to one Minor), any 3 positive events will make them Unbreakable Friendship, and any 3 negative events will make them Bitter Enemies.
If the Chosen have 8 events between them (two Cores match up to two Minors), any 5 positive events will make them Unbreakable Friendship, and any 5 negative events will make them Bitter Enemies.
If positive events and negative events are equal, the status of the friendship will be determined by the highest tier of breaks. For instance, if there were two positive T1 scenes and two negative T2 scenes between two Chosen that have 8 events possible, the two Chosen will be enemies. Since there are still two T3 breaks and two T4 breaks to go, the relationship won't be Bitter Enemies at this time.
If instead there was a negative T1, a positive T1, a negative T2, and a positive T2, the two Chosen would be Uncertain Friendship until the next event since those T2 breaks (the highest ones) are tied. The next Tier 3 Core Break would determine which way the friendship would go (for the moment).
