VN Ren'Py Imperial Chronicles [v0.11] [Lazy Monkey]

[GibboBtw]

Man, Mage MC is so fucking useless at fighting. It's ridiculous how he acts like he doesn't know any magic despite supposedly focusing on his magic studies all his life. He never uses magic in battle.

Yeah, it does kinda feel like the most misused of the classes IMO. Really feels like bro should be making these combat situations a breeze. But he just doesn't for some reason.

No. She does. You already have enough points with her if she's invited you to the meeting to begin with. So it basically says to me, that she was, and is all in on Elis working with her. That if he turns her down, she realises it's kind of fucked and is willing to let him kill her. And as for doing it anyway. Well obviously she does, she even tells you she will before she offers the chance to kill her. I mean first of all, she's hellbent on getting revenge against her mothers "killer". And second, she's trying to save the empire from her fathers passivness. So you know her goals pretty quickly, and I respect them tbh. Meanwhile, I don't give a shit about Alaina and her "The Elven Cause"

I think it’s clear you have a very different interpretation of the characters than I do. Looking through your comments, I don’t really agree with your take on most of them. You seem way way too harsh on characters you don’t like, and not nearly harsh enough on the ones you do. And this thing with Alania just feels like an attempt to shift blame off Cass, despite both Cass and Alania doing very clearly messed up things for their own goals. I don’t think Cass offering to let Elis kill her has anything to do with guilt, she just thought it was kind of a lost cause, since the planned coup was already in motion and pretty much doomed to fail without Elis’s support.

"some noble woman she barely knows." Alaina tells you that they were quite close and rather good friends. I mean the first proof of that is that when she "accidentally" kills her husband. She went straight to Alaina for help. It would be a bit weird if she just went to someone she "barely knows" to help her cover it up imo.

I'll take your word for it for the two of them being friends, but imo even if they were best friends it's not comparable to letting killing your own sibling. The whole Cass comparison there is a false equivalent

Because it is...I've played hundreds and hundreds of games. I've been the goody two shoes hero SOOOO many times. So you can bet your arse that if I find one, that can give me the option to be a little bit of a "villain" and murder the fantasy race I dislike the most, generally speaking. I'm 100% GOING FOR IT, WTF.

It's more that I'm sick of it coming up all the time. I'm an Elder Scrolls fan, and all Elder Scrolls fans seem to want to do is pretend to be racist against fantasy races. I don't find that stuff funny. You can be evil, I don't care, although it honestly doesn't sound like you actually want to be evil based on your other comments. I'm just tired of seeing "kill the elves" comments everywhere I go. I almost didn't get involved in the thread because I wanted to talk about something other than fantasy genocide.

Elis is too "dumb" for her to be willing share anything with him? Not something like, she doesn't want to burden him with that knowledge. So she'll be his lovely little guardian angel.

No, instead it's just "He's a dumbass..." But he's literally her "grand creation for the future of elvenkind"

He's her best goal for elven equality sure but he's also but he's also makes dumb decisions all the time. Even bookworm mc doesn't really act smart. Besides she wasn't keeping his mother in the dark. Like I said though I feel like you have too much bias when it comes to how you interpret character's actions and motivations, so I'm just going to leave here and agree to disagree.

 

[falconhawk223]

This is a game with multiple variables. I replayed the scene and that moment never popped up so I asked what variables you used to get that since unlike you I'm actually arguing in good faith. I asked how you got the scene so I could at least get a better understanding of the content as in my runs she just swears she's going to help Elis. You've already dismissed Aurora fear route so I don't know why you are dismissing route differences here

No idea if you've seen it yet, but it's honestly not that bad. She just said she sent a bunch of near identical letters to members of her family with one detail changed but told them to keep that detail a secret. Seems like kind of a harmless prank to me. Not the "I love manipulating people" thing. I'm not really sure why he described it like that.

 

[DrakoGhoul]

You know, thinking about it now. I wonder how hot our Elven grandma must be. She's supposedly an Elder on the Council? Though, we don't really have an age range for Sera and Celest. But I imagine that she's still youthful, maybe. Seeing as Elves might be a major focus for the upcoming arc. I'm sure we'll get at least a look at her.

I'm more interested in seeing the north/south. Sera is supposed to be young for an elf so I can't imagine grandma would be that old.

I'm sure we'll see the in-laws in the future. Probably after the kids are born. Since it wouldn't be wise to travel currently.

Any chance of a release next weekend?

I seem to remember that it was said men can't control the magic like women do. Not a 'power' but control issue AFAIR, like in Randland.

I guess I just figured with all this prophecy shit around Elis being basically a borderline "chosen one" type of archetype, and his visions of a goddess and his infamous ancestor talking to him etc etc.

He would at least be able to match the power of a level 5 wizard in DND by now. But who knows, maybe he'll get there eventually.

Well, technically, that's not true. In many editions, level 5 gives access to the third circle of spells, meaning he gains the overpowered Fireball. In the game, he uses simple spells like Fire Hands (fighting alongside the lords in the west) or some minor mind-affecting spells (knocked the woodcutter's axe out of his hands). So, he's level 4 at best there.

What's not true?

That's what I said isn't it?

I expect him, to be able to match the power of a level 5 wizard by now. But he doesn't. So unless I'm missing something, we agree?

 

[AJBit2]

Looks like loli is back on the menu boys!

Who is the girl?

 

[DrakoGhoul]

Who is the girl?

If you're referring to the girl in the picture. That's one of Elin's friends from the Magic Tower.

Heyho everyone.

Chatgpt and I made a little cheat script that can give the player all perks at once.

Warning: This script will modify the game files irreversibly. I am not responsible for any damage this may cause to your saves!


Here is is how it works:

Any time the game wants to check which perk you have chosen it will ask "perk == "something" " or something very similar.

While something then is either "intelligence", "strength" or "mage".

This script searches through all rpy files and replaces it with True.

Meaning that "if perk == "intelligence" " becomes "if True".

Again. This will literally change the games code. Once you apply this you would have to reinstall the game to undo.

I tried to first overwrite the if statements but this just really fucked up the game. Going for the throat is the easiest way.

It should be entirely version independent and also not break the code unless the dev deviates from how they used these perks until now.


Now, obviously, I can't predict that this will never cause an issue because I don't know what the dev will do in relation to such perk checks. But so far, having played this game with URM like 3 times, I can't think of any instance where this would bork the game. I tried to cover all possible syntax comparisons. But if the dev wants to they could still trick me. In the end its just a regex replacement.


How to use:

1. place the rpy file into the /game folder.
2. Run the game and load a save to be sure.
3. Immediately close the game again.
4. Remove BOTH the rpy file and the new rpyc file.
5. Run the game again. It is now modified.


Use at your own risk! I will provide 0 tech support!!! The code is readable in plain within the file.

init python:
    import os
    import re

    def modify_game_files():
        game_dir = os.path.join(config.basedir, "game")  # Get the game directory
        pattern = re.compile(r'not\s*perk == "([^"]+)"|perk == "([^"]+)"|perk != "([^"]+)"|perk is "([^"]+)"|perk is not "([^"]+)"')  # Match all forms of comparisons

        for root, _, files in os.walk(game_dir):
            for file in files:
                if file.endswith(".rpy"):  # Only modify .rpy files
                    file_path = os.path.join(root, file)

                    with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
                        content = f.read()

                    # Replace the matched patterns with 'True'
                    new_content = pattern.sub('True', content)

                    with open(file_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
                        f.write(new_content)

    modify_game_files()  # Run on game start

Tell me lad is there a way to apply this cheat script on a mobile version ?

Does mage get the least amount of special scenes?
