RPGM Descendants of the Forest [v0.7.71] [Eropixel]
i love this game, i hope i can buy it one day, because it reminds me of dragon quest 9, a jrpg with full customized party mechanics that was completely IGNORED!! by AAA developers.
i've played for 6 hours on my save file.
after hitting level cap with only 2 in game days having passed, i want to discuss the aging mechanics.
i sustained my party only on healing spells, random dropped potions and the witch's mana potions because i saw no benefit to progressing time quickly by resting at inns. i never encountered any issue with this strategy.
in other words, i am critical of the aging mechanic. i am not sure what it is designed to do.
later i experimented / noticed the ability to get pregnant for stronger party members, which is very cool, but it incentivized me to spam resting at the inn while my party members were busy with labour.
on that note, because later units will become stronger from reproducing, and reproducing takes a lot of time, would that not naturally incentivize the player to rotate older units out just because the new units are stronger? then why have the aging mechanic in the first place?

So I decided to grind the heritage stats and got all the available elf ones to 10/10. Turns out that was a mistake as I bumped into a rat on my way back from the mining town after getting the armour and weapons from there and each rat one-shot my party members. Never realised enemies got more difficult as the game went on in my last play through since I didn't even go through a generation. Checked the thread and it says you can lower difficulty by praying at the temple but it doesn't look like there's an option for it? Would give my save but it seems the file type isn't allowed so would love to know if I broke my game by staying in the start area for 4 in game years lol.
It an urgency mechanic, your unit WILL retired from old age so your children are the next party.
The goal in the first place is to HAVE unit to continue, not so much choosing the best.
Also parent pass some level onto their children so grinding older unit is not a wasted investment
The game also get harder with time so stronger descendant also a conteract to that.

I believe it is linked to advancing the main quests up to the second city, after that you may have to do a few missions more before the option gets added to the temple.
I do not know how to feel about the auto level mechanic for monsters, perhaps if it was limited by some range depending on the zone... as it is I kinda feel it's too raw.
I'll keep that in mind, there must be a request in the first city to unlock that function in the temple, or have progressed to a certain point.

That'd make sense since the only thing I did besides grind stats was on the first day venture out to the amazon city, good to know my game wasn't just fucked.
How do you get an angel? I maxed out the relationship of the priests in the first 2 towns but one does not get pregnant and the other one seems to have insufficient “equipment”. Is there another npc or enemy that I can work with?
Find and mate with fallen angel in the darkforest, chance your child be halfangel (save scumming help)
Child of 2 half angel make full angel.
Or you can use the brothel in the demon city.
i found out that if you roll a whole party of femboy elf soliders the game becomes piss easy. you don't need a balanced party that can debuff or heal if everything is fucking dead before it gets a turn
Edit: nope i was wrong a party of magic knights is the way to go

Magic knights are very good indeed, since they have almost everything you need, still classes have different advantages for example the vision you get on the map is based on the character class, so having a leader be an archer can be quite useful, personally I run 3 magic knights, 1 healer and 1 archer.
The healer is just very useful to prevent issues and the archer I just dump all skill points into recollecting profs.
I get this error after character turn into slime from either via items or slimes, Look like there's a problem in model files

yes, you can also make them impregnate each other, the system is a bit direct tho but it is already there.
This is an error that happens on version 7.6.0, update to the latest version and it will be solved.
got a crash trying to rest at the camp outside the north mine entrance. also is there a way to disable enemy scaling, it really hampers the sense of progression. Got my troupe all geared up and lvl'd but now the enemies i was one shotting are taking 3-4 hits despite my upgrades and it feels bad

In the second city you can revert the auto-scaling of enemies, they will keep doing it but you just need to reset it to 0 each time.got a crash trying to rest at the camp outside the north mine entrance. also is there a way to disable enemy scaling, it really hampers the sense of progression.

Hi guys, I'm having this specific error ONLY for 7.61 update onwards. Base 7.40 was fine. Even the latest 7.63 update i have this issue. Only triggers once i enter the "open menu button." I use the rpg default keys, fyi.
Additionally, does the top exe version stated as 7.40. on the top left corner. While the bottom right side stated as 7.63 play a role?
I've also tried with a new game just in case. The error still persists. I couldnt find the "arrow_rotate" anywhere in the files as well.
Thanks

You have to download the new version v7.60 game file, the new patches only fix the bugs but it doesn't have the new files or changes in the files, you can move and use the saves in the new version.
