Others Completed Ero Dungeons [v1.0] [Madodev]

[EmDotRand]

I've never played but of course heard of Darkest Dungeon. Can't say I'm a fan of it, but I enjoy survival and "losing is fun" games, so I'm not going to give up on this game just yet.

A fellow masochist, I see. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Honestly though, I don't want to criticize the game for being what it is, but improvements could be made. I'm willing to forgive that the game still had me guessing after the tutorial what I was supposed to do (EDIT: for clarification purposes, what is my goal in this game, not trivialities like WASD to move around), since it's still very early in development.

However the UI could really need a second look. For an RPGMaker-clone (I guess the author had their reasons to pick the GODOT engine) and a smut game, it should be a much smoother experience.

Admittedly I got lost as well when I first played. The tutorial quests are of little help as the relevant quest either shows up way too late or long after you've figured out the mechanic on your own. Though calling it an RPGMaker-clone is a serious stretch. Beyond having a tile map and turn based combat there's almost no similarities.

I find the game completely unplayable. You get kidnapped so easily and there is no way to recover. I tried to recover one person and end up losing 4 in my party.

Playful plugins thing does not even do anything.

I am beyond frustrated.

If there was a save system where I am in control this would not be all that bad. It constantly and instantly saves so it is not like I can go back to an earlier save.

You jumped into an elite dungeon with a bunch of novices, didn't ye? Give it a few in game weeks. Your troops will most definitely be cursed, but you'll have a much easier time rescuing them. By then you'll have gotten some much stronger adventurers, so whether or not you choose to just abandon them is mostly personal preference. (I don't. No woman left behind.)

Also there's no penalty for retreating besides not getting the end dungeon reward and maybe some bad quirks. You can do so at any time including in the middle of combat as long as it's your turn. Run early and often until you get enough resources. Or just save edit past the initial grind. No shame in that.

Where is the save file?

 

[Fey spirit]

Open explorer
in address bar enter %appdata%

Then find Erodungeons folder

So should be:
C:\Users\name of user\Appdata\Roaming\Erodungeons\

In Saves directory you get Profile0, Profile1, etc with actual save files for each profile.

Where is the save file?

For Linux the save file location is ~/.local/shared/EroDungeons/Saves/ aka /home/[USER]/.local/shared/EroDungeons/Saves/

"new goblin grapplers" sounds interesting. can anyone provide screenshots or descriptions?

Marathon mode is partially the reason why. Map tiles have a difficulty. You probably only have the low level tiles. Since marathon mode makes it slower to explore, it makes it more annoying to get to the difficult tiles. If I recall, you can also check the tile difficulty with the map setting.

To expand on what Easy Bake Oven said, you can check the tile difficulty with one of the map view modes in the mission overview screen.

Thanks that helps alot, atleast i can steer towards the big dungeons now.


Something else i'm curious about is that if you make a team with Warrior Rogue Cleric Mage you get a team buff, is there a list or similar where i can find party compositions that give buffs?

Been playing this quite a lot recently, actually pretty fun when you get into it and the modding ability is very nice.

However, the requirements for goals make it a tedious painful slog, it's already a pretty over-complicated game and having to track what each character requires to level up makes levelling to veteran (even more to elite) a huge grind. This is even worse when most of the quests or rescue missions require veteran or higher.

Fortunately there is a mod, which I would highly recommend, to fix that issue if you want the game to actually be enjoyable and not a 500 hr grind fest:

You must be registered to see the links

You can just complete dungeons to level up rather than having to do side goals.

final 2 bosses; new game+

congratulations.

Eh, pirates will pirate, that's what we're all here for.
Pretty funny that they stole the broken version and not the fixed one though.

Its extra funny when they come onto the discord asking about problems and get instantly outed.

 

[artemax]

hey quick question, does anyone know if there are plans to add sex at some point?

 

[Deren]

If there is, I haven't seen it. I was also curious though. So, I looked through the game with the help of the mod manager. So, here's the list.

 

[Easy Bake Oven]

how do you use morale actions? im clicking and its reducing morale, but I'm not healing at all.

I rarely use the morale heal, but if I recall, it doesn't add the percentage. Meaning, using the 25% heal doesn't heal you by 25%. Instead, it it works by healing anyone below that percentage. So, someone at 1% hp will be healed to 25%. I am not 100% sure about it though. I probably used morale heal less than 5 times playing this game.

huh, ill try that out, but does make sense considering the low morale requirements of the 25% heal.

Thank you. Do you also know how to make Playful Plugins work?

q, what are your building priorities? new to the game so rn im just trying to hyper-focus on the stagecoach upgrades for higher recruit stats.

Most of them aren't useful, tbh.
Or are only useful for fulfilling those 'needs to work as a cow for three days' requirements.

The barn gets you cowgirls and slaves, that gets you more supplies and free milk, respectively.

I barely use training and I almost never use the church (doctor?) to remove negative traits.

Then again, I'm stuck at adept level because all of my adventures got turned into fucking cowgirls.

Sorry, no. Because this first time I even hear about them. You will have to ask someone else.

I think that's solid. It'll save you a lot of grind time for actual teams to run the dungeon and I had wished I done it sooner myself. I also feel like going heavy on provisions and having one or two cow slots is what you want to do early. The extra items really help with keeping teams alive. Also, getting kennels for more missions makes it easier to get the levels you want or to go gear hunting.

For everything else, just open them as you need them. You shouldn't really need more then one or two slots in most buildings unless you are going for instant use later in the game. I personally found I never really relied on Morale or the Seedbed stuff that often for example. But it also can be nice to be able to remove an annoying trait or hypnosis mantra on your good units.
