Is there a way to disable pre-broken vulnerabilities (maybe by generating a specific team of chosen), or somehow overcome them and force a distortion?

well, you can create a custom team or chosen (in campaing), then select the vulnerabilities to be broken (or not, as that is what you want).

sadly, I don't think there is some way to make sure that ALL of the chosen don't spawn with broken vulnerabilities.

Man, I am out of practice... Trying to do a campaign run after putting the game down for several months, and I haven't even gotten a Tier 4 break by day 45. At least I've gotten a Chosen onto the Negotiation distortion... On day 44... Woof.

Congratz on your win! :D What you should do with your forsaken depends on the forsaken you currently have in the campaign and what sort of things you're lacking in terms of early/mid/late game stage options for your forsaken

Hmm, the tempted one may a bit harder to work with , she doesn't have any friends you can use as leverage over her, you're going to have to raise her deviancy as much as you can to get her willing to do Install Fixation on her, and also raising her obedience as close as you can to the limit so you won't have the obedience penalty which happens at low obedience levels.

Luckily Drain Soul is a good way to instill obedience with the added perk of not needing her consent and it adding a defiler onto her (Torture) which is better than no defiler at all.

One thing I did discover recently was if you end up going past the 40% obedience requirement she doesn't lose her trait entirely, she loses the decreased motivation usage and damage buffs but she can still learn the tempt defiler action unique to tempted chosen, so if you want to have her a chosen that tempts chosen more than the buffs you can trade off that way.

Chosen 3 has a pretty good spread, her deviancy is pretty high so you might have to rely on using hostility-based training actions in the beginning of her training sessions to get some decent expertise experience from her, otherwise her fighting style is good for her disgrace range, I assume it costs maybe 30-100 EE to deploy her? if it's beyond 50 or so, try either getting her to a 4 damage fighting style or raising her disgrace to maybe the 60% range but not past it since the 70% since she'll be too cheap to keep 3 styles on her. HATE/INJU/PLEA is pretty good especially since you'll need to use hostility actions in the beginning anyway, if you have any other preferences at least try to keep one of the styles as HATE for this one. With her best friend as leverage you might be able to do a grand concert to get her disgrace down really low if you need to, otherwise broadcast and such should be good. Inseminate/Torture/ or Force orgasm would be good on her as defilers

And chosen 1 seems like a good range to use in the early parts of an loop from her high disgrace and INJU/EXPO style. And her stats are pretty good for recovery and getting proper expertise try to focus on getting her INJU and EXPO expertise and maintain that style while also raising her damage output, either Torture or Broadcast would be good defilers for her with broadcast depending the buff her obedience is getting from friendship.

Honestly try to keep keep her corruption values as close to what they are now with, maybe potentially lowering her disgrace to 70% if she's the only low cost forsaken you have in your run so far, since her mid-range obedience requirement means she'll get her stamina back pretty quickly and her mid-hostlity means her motivation cost is a decent level and her tantrums won't be as vicious.

And in terms of forsaken, it's good to have a variety in terms of their corruption values and their styles, different chosen personalities and teams might require different forsaken, INJU/EXPO is really good but against a chosen who has Confidence
as a core it might do almost nothing to her INJU-wise unless you target one of her friends first. And both INJU/EXPO and HATE/EXPO might be pointless against a chosen with both Morality and Confidence as a core so good to keep a wide variety of forsaken at different stages of the game.

Overall a good spread! I don't know the punishers you can have on those but keep them in mind if you increase their disgrace.
I hope this helps!

Lol I wouldn't worry too much about it, once you get back into the groove of it I'm sure you'll be hitting those high points again! :D

And negotiation is a bit easier to hit once you can get an 3-4 turn orgy on the team, it varies but either using a forsaken or a HATE/INJU commander body with versality and 2+ capture charges helps me out at times. Some team combinations still fuck me up tho haha

If this is campaign, I'd say sacrifice chosen 3 to get the +1 EE and mainly train the tempted one in expo.

I think you could raise the disgrace a bit (70% or 80%) to have an easy use, but I shouldn't risk it raising more from this.

for a bit of basic information:

Chosen 3 is already high in deviancy, which is considered bad for training. She is the one that is not that good in this batch.

Chosen 1 has a balanced corruption which allows you to transform her into any sort of commander you may need. I would recommend keeping INJU/EXPO, but just because I like more the specific damage forsaken.

And chosen 2, already has the trait, and the level of corruption is not that bad. the only bad side is the 3 type damage, but can fix it.

Wow thank you! This is a massive help, I didn't even think about the EE deployment and how it will relate to when I'll be able to send them out. I'm actually going to need to do some experimenting but I think now I can at least formulate a plan for what I want to do long-term. For example, my HATE/PLEA Forsaken is a 31 cost so I should work on getting her to around 3 (I think I'll do HATE/PLEA/INJU) but my PLEA/INJU one is only 9 cost. Also, the talk about training is huge, I didn't get it with how the guide was written but you helped me get the multi-training effects to click. I'll be back with results, I hope!

What's even more hilariously appealing to me is that training Forsaken adds another level of corruption onto the already massive corruption-based gameplay from actually fighting them. Definitely loving the double-down on it.
Sorry for the late response, I'm finishing up the last designs on my portrait pack as well a some extra bits to add to the full version but I wholeheartedly agree! It really recontextualizes how you look at loop and the chosen you're going up against, instead of looking at their vulnerabilities and thinking the best way to beat them, you're now looking at how those vulnerabilties and relationships will make them as forsaken. Instead of wanting to wipe the floor with them you want to act with more precision, making the game more challenging once the first learning curve is past you, and I'm glad to help! :D CSDev is thinking about some interface changes to the training that will hopefully be more intuitive in terms of fighting styles and training them so maybe that will help with making training objectives more definable and understandable. If you have any other questions feel free to let me know! Right now I'm writing up a little tutorial for training forsaken and I have an example forsaken and scenario created to highlight one of the benefits of a forsaken with a well matched-fighting style and the impact it can have on loops so hopefully it'll be helpful.

So yea! be sure to let me know your progress when you get comfortable with the training mechanics! It's really dope to see people here progress and get a better handle on the game so I'm always down to witness it :D

Yeah I started to lose track of the days after the interview. I got too sloppy and ended up wasting too many days. I at least captured Faith (the negotiation chosen) so it wasn't a complete wash. That said, they're completely unusable at a hefty 330 EE to deploy XD
Gonna see if I can tighten up my gameplay in loop 2. I need me a low cost forsaken and some time to train Faith into someone deployable. Or maybe I'll just crash and burn, who knows?

Loop 2 I'm with Midnight/Pain on the same team and omg this is so hard. Both of Midnight's cores are Pain's already broken minors. I'm struggling here but I did manage to get one of my low-cost Forsaken to HATE/EXPO. Third try on Loop 2. I will persist!

I’m still at work and can’t reply much but I finished up the last 3 designs and the lite version of my portrait is up now!

Lite Version:

-3 new chosen designs added, meaning a total of 24 characters ready and in the game with hairstyle and costumes variations so even coming across a design you’ve seen before in your run with a different name she’ll at least have a different outfit/hairstyle


Full version with appropriate post will come out later when I’m home and I finish up the write-up for the first part of forsaken training series I want to do

Enjoy! :D

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but in an attempt to learn the game, I downloaded Kallois portrait pack, and saw the tutorial with the imported save. Imported the save, started up, and as soon as I finished the first encounter, no matter what, I would click continue and be have no options at the bottom of my screen unless I resized the window, where I could once again choose what upgrade I wanted. However, upon choosing any upgrade, but in this case physic reading, and clicking confirm, I can again no longer click any option at the bottom of the screen, one is blue and neither are clickable. Upon trying the same resize the window trick, It got rid of the continue and cancel button completely, and I was unable to do anything with my window to get any button back. On a normal campaign however, I can get past day 1 easily and buy upgrades no problem. I think there's something wrong with importing or exporting saves.
Thanks for the bug report. It turned out that the import/export function ended up getting very bugged. But it'll be fixed in the next release, and new campaigns made in the next version will be exportable and importable in a way that lets you keep the same random seed and custom roster.
Sorry took a while got busy today. Okay I did have a look and I did made a mistake when naming them on the game and put a letter in the wrong place lol so fixed now, but is there a way to edit characters?
It isn't possible to edit characters in the current version, but it's planned that you'll be able to do so in the next version.
What's that "?" mark on T4 INN? I started seeing it since the newest update, dunno if it's always been there. "/" usually indicates the vulnerability can be broken, but this one shows up when the Punisher effectiveness almost reaches the break threshold, which is 250% in this case. Something to do with having a Forsaken assigned to a Punisher position?
View attachment 1846991
When there's a "?" it means that one of your Forsaken would be able to break the Vulnerability if you gave her the appropriate Punisher position (and because you can put the same Forsaken in multiple positions at once, it counts Forsaken that are already currently in other positions). When there's a "!" it means that your current Forsaken Punisher in that position will be able to break the Vulnerability. And the "/", as before, means that you can break the Vulnerability even without any special Forsaken abilities.
Apologies for being dumb, but how do you import a roster for campaign mode? The way it currently stands, when generating full custom teams, I can only import one of the three unless I go into solo play, play until all are revealed, then save that file, then import them that way. It also doesnt keep the teams together from what I saw, which is a bummer when you're wanting to build several teams for campaign.

Or am I doing it wrong and just should play campaign base w/o customized heroines?
You aren't doing anything wrong, but it is intended that the game scrambles up the teams, because dealing with random enemy lineups is one of the features of campaign mode. But I do see that being able to set up your own static gauntlet of teams to fight could be fun too, so I'm planning on adding something like that as a separate mode.
I finished the first city by capturing two heroines, but I admit I found the documentation on their management and training part a bit cryptic and not really user friendly. Getting into the game mechanics already required a very steep learning curve, the feeling is to be faced with a game in the game even more complex than the main game.

I think it's a shame, because I have to say that this is one of my favorite titles ever, but it should focus more on the introductory part, a guided campaign, tutorials or more specific in-game tips. It would help many like me, who despite having the patience to learn the logic behind the game, but do not have the hours to experiment and trial and error, to approach the game and enjoy it.

I finished the second city last week, without ever having deployed a Forsaken, and now I have 4 heroines to train in a mandatory way, but I don't really know how to do it ...

ps: an honorable mention for Kalloi, without his tutorial, I think I would have wasted three times the time understanding certain mechanics. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the feedback. Now that the Forsaken training system is looking to be close to its finished state, I'm looking into ways to make it present information to the player in a more understandable manner.
How does the Approach stuff you can access from the info menu work? I'm currently doing a single play where I've managed to get one chosen up to T4 in everything and one to T4 in everything except exposure. When I approach them, the demon lord can fuck them and orgasm, but sooner or later they either pass out or their hatred gets too high. Can you even achieve anything in Approach mode, or is it just there to showcase Chosen corruption?
You've pretty much got it - it's all about showing how they act at their current corruption level. It doesn't actually progress their corruption further.
I kinda feel like Hypnosis is underused for the potential it offers.

My suggestion would be an option to "pass time" (in other words, no attack) where you focus your psychic power on calling one of the hypnotized magical girls back to your hive where you could spend Evil Energy to more deeply brainwash (alter attack patterns to fantasize more, become inclined to join in a surround to "help", personality alteration to shift weaknesses how you would like them, implant addiction to certain attack types) and/or do body modification (increase bust/ass to increase exposure effectiveness, lewd crest curse to inflict periodic/constant arousal, enhanced fertility to lower minimum impregnation requirements, overly sensitive skin to induce stripping, etc) on the girl. Maybe if Hypnosis gets to 2000% the girl just submits completely to your control and becomes a Forsaken with a blank Doll personality for you to then decide what personality you want to "install".

Could expand the others, like Impregnation getting the girl so addicted to pumping out demons that at 2000% she just abandons to come to your Hive as a Special Breeder that passively increases your Thrall maximum even on subsequent runs. Drain at 2000% could cause the girl to submit to becoming a generator, giving you Evil Energy even in subsequent runs.
Some of these are things I'd like to include in the game, but I'm wary about tying it to very high % corruption levels, since the game is already a bit grindier than I'd prefer.
View attachment 1855045 I dont think ive seen it reported yet, but I got a typo in the total dignity break using parasitism. The second paragraph, when it talks about her infested garb. (herinfested)
Thanks for catching this typo. It'll be fixed in the next version.

True the game is quite grindy... since the numbers need to get so huge I often times use cheat engine to bump initial numbers up so I can get to the fun part of the corruption. Even with that I have to be very careful or I have endless turns of the girls not using the adaption I want them to use. It took me awhile to figure out how to reliably stack striptease procs.

One option would be to either shift the corruption to the related punisher upgrade, like hypnosis percent goes up every turn they are exposed to the hypnosis commander upgrade, and leave the fantasize/striptease/etc as symbols of their corruption this way you can balance corruption gain around something consistent instead of RNG or you can keep the current system and add in that the commander upgrades increase corruption per turn as well so you have a controllable element that players can utilize to force things.

For instance the Drain upgrade makes the Commander immune to the self destruct, instead every time they try it it just sucks the power out of them and makes them even more compatible with draining forcing them to go through the entire capture length.

Once the player has a means of reliably increasing corruption, and doing so in a targeted manner, they will more swiftly hit the break points and you wont have to worry about having later final break points that cause a Broodmother, Doll/Vessel of the Demon Lord, Bio-Power Cell, or Unchosen ending.

You can also integrate the ideas I suggested to help with that, Brainwashing after the initial complete hypnosis. Body Modification technically could be implemented in 2 forms: You can have a body modification upgrade for commanders to do light/temporary body modification in combat (enlarging breasts, making the body more sensitive, etc) with permanent body modification being for when the girls come to the hive (Hypnosis call, drain begging, etc).

Theirs no way to increase the days until the main battle in campaign? changing it from 50 to 100 or something would be an easy way to make an easier mode

First off, i want to say Huge Thanks to CSDev for making this and also to Kalloi for the guides and Image Packs.
Now for my Question: Are there any premade Rosters? for example a Marvel-Roster or a One Piece Roster? Or are there any like Challenge Rosters? i tried to look through the comments, but couldnt find anything
And also, if there arent, would anyone be interessted in something like that? I thought about doing something like that once i have a bit more free time again

As of right now I dont think there are any that have been shared, other than the few that Kalloi has made in preparation for their VN. I'm sure if you made some youd make a few people happy!
