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

[Hazardgaming]

Wait...Wait, you would choose a route that would get Seraphina killed, and let Conrad take the throne from you if you could?!?...

Why tf would you wanna do that...

That throne is M I N E, and anybody who wants to try and take it from me, plot in my general vicinity, or generally just be an annoying fucker. Is getting exterminated. No exceptions...

I’d prefer for Elis to remain the king/emperor. He is the rightful heir, as his father is the oldest son of the Red Emperor and the real Regis (dead younger brother of the king) was placed on the throne by traitors.

It’s unclear how many would support Conrad’s claim to the throne, and it might even result in a civil war.

The sword of Damocles hangs over Elis no matter if he keeps these secrets or reveals them. And I’d always choose the option that rids myself of any blackmail anyone might have over me.

 

[Benn Swagger]

Both Conrad and Alaina throwing the hail Mary out of desperation when you're siding to their opposition.

I'm glad on siding with Conrad, I was choosing to see the past when offered by the mysterious no name women that Elis encounter when riding to the west. It is confirm Alaina confession of Regis-Sybilla incident.

Cass probably will forgive her mother for killing her wife beater father. But goddamn if living Cass learn that her mother slain by Alaina for the sake to have elvish blood as the heir of the throne. Omg, she's gonna wreck havoc the kingdom just to find Alaina. I love to see dev make that path. It will be bloody as Elis dream encounter the Red Emperor and Mirtha. That when you choose Cassandra, the vision were she bath in blood.

But that doesn't mean Elin story has a good end too. Because in Elis first dream vision, Elin will become the one who end the Empire too. The Starhead chronicle are bound to have a grim end.

For Seraphina love route, I think it just not finished yet, unlike the Lust path that have happy ending. We'll see in the final Chapter 1 update.

Btw, have anyone knew about Catalina's fate ? (The red hair women in the west) In every civil war path, Catalina is just M.I.A.. Maybe because I didn't choose her at the tavern.

Also I was wonder who was fake-Regis first women before the true-Regis~Sybilla incident ? ... Alaina said he have children from that women, which also an elf. Was this women is Celestine ? ... since she so adamant to say Seraphina was stealing her fate. Are both Noira and Arion (twins, the name are mirroring each another) not Elis cousin but half sibling ?

WARRIOR, MAGE or BOOKWORM ?
AURORA or ISIS ?
WHITE, GREEN or RED Coronation ? (related to someone fate, Forgive - Slave - Death1 or Death 2)
THE WEST LORDS or THE YOUNG REPUBLICS or NEUTRAL ?
CONRAD or ALAINA ?

SERAPHINA's LOVE or CORRUPTION?
ELIN's LOVE or DOMINATION?
CASSANDRA's EQUAL, PUPPET or OUT or SLAVE ?

PRISCILA's IN or OUT ?

I usually hate branching games, but special exclusion for this one, I love this game branching, man.

What your favorite combination ?

For me, there's 2.
1. Bookworm - Aurora - White C - Neutral - Alaina
2. Warrior - Isis - Red C (Forgive) - Young Republic - Conrad

I don't like the feeling of Green Coronation. The relation become Superior and Subordinate. Every interaction become forced and not out of honesty.

Mage -> Aurora(As the safest option) -> White -> Cass(I can fix her) ->Neutral(I feel sorry for the redhead, but this option saves many people) -> Priscilla(Alive and untouched) -> Elin(only Love path for her) -> Sera(I tried the path of love before the last update, I will either replay it and switch to the path of corruption or abandon it completely. So far, the path of love is very weak)->Neither Conrad nor Alaina (It's hard to trust either of them, even though both of them reveal their cards at the end of the episode)

I liked the bookworm on the green coronation. However, like the red coronation, the green one makes the MC more dependent on the side that brings him to the crown and this can play a cruel joke. The white one is bloodier and more people die on it, but on it Elis is independent and it seemed to me that he behaves more maturely.

I have a lot of saves with all kinds of combinations, but my main one is like this:

Warrior - Isis - Green Coronation - Neither, so that both sides would slaughter each other - Conrad

Also did not touch Seraphine in any way. As for Elin - was going for the love path initially, but in the previous update decided to stop it altogether.

When you execute Cass, the "Mysterious Woman" you meet in the forest while on-route west, suggests that you next get rid of "the one behind all you misfortunes, pulling the strings, unaware that she herself is a puppet." I think this is probably Alaina, but whose puppet is she? Perhaps of the goddess Mirta?

I rather doubt that this Mirta even exists. A far more likely scenario, is that Seraphina is the incarnation of evil and the reflection of her sister. She stole her sisters future and showed Elis a fake memory.

Ooooh that's some...INTERESTING takes ngl. But I don't think the Dev is gonna villify Sera like that.

She's sweet as anything, loves her kids immensely and would die for them in an instant. It would be weak af if she just ended up being an "incarnation of evil" and turned out to be a villain, at least IMO.

I think it'd just be better for the plot and in general, if it was just her Sister that was the "bad" one and not her. Sometimes the obvious choice is the right choice, or otherwise we can end up with shit like

!!!Game of Thrones S8 SPOILERS!!! Arya killing the Night King for some fucking reason...

I wonder how this scene is going to play out if you no longer have an Alaina in your court. Might be a little awkward ngl...

1 warrior- Isis - Green - Alaina -

1 warrior - Isis - Red - Neutral - Alaina-


And I saved Priscilla on every route

The same way it plays out if you execute or imprison Vall - this is probably only for those that freed her and didn't rape her.

 

[RacistSanta]

This is Val right ? Finally

Oh boy, she is getting fucked proper this time. Sorry my little sex slave, there ain't no escape from the indomitable elven spirit this time either; unfortunately for you, the alchemy session just got hands on.

 

[GibboBtw]

Well I'm covered on the second parts, I'm now just wondering if without Alaina being there. If Conrad isn't just going to fucking arrest and execute her ass or some shit... I kinda forgot about her as a character ngl... whoops...

 

[DrakoGhoul]

To be honest, I don't see why the preview pictures couldn't be for both sides of Val route. It's not like Val wasn't working under her after becoming Elis sex slave. The scene after their reunion is likely where the split starts to happen.

That said, I would imagine those who, essentially, banished Alaina might not get that preview scene at all. Assuming Elis romanced Val, Alaina might've escorted her away after leaving him. If MC turned Val into a sex slave, I imagine she's either imprisoned again by Conrad or left.

So basically, I think the scene only happens if you "trusted" Alaina. If you didn't, Val likely is either imprisoned again, dead or fled with Alaina. The problem really comes with the sex slave side of things. Because it has a variation of Val either being pregnant or not. Which can make for a few variations in of itself to these scenes.

And Alaina definitely wouldn't leave Val alone, if she was carrying Elis child. Which is why I think the preview pictures will be for both. Because she knows Elis is the father, going by the time passed. And seeing as you have the pregnant variant already on the path, there's no reason to branch the non pregnant sex slave Val into another scene.

At least, that's what I'm thinking is going to happen next update. Val being a side character makes it unlikely that she's going to get that many unique scenes.

Precisely because she is a side-girl, I doubt LM will make a pregnant/non-pregnant variant of this scene for Val. Sounds like too much work that could be reserved for the important women and their variations.

It would actually be way more work to do it completely separate from said preview scene. In my view. Because then he has to go through the trouble of setting up an entirely new scene beyond this one and then give a variant to that scene just for the sex slave stuff. When with the preview scene, he just has to give her variant dialogue and appearance, since the child should already be born, or close to it. And if she's not pregnant, nothing much changes with her appearance, as she still works for Alaina.

So it's do the same scene but change up the dialogue and maybe the appearance to account for her being love, sex slave and sex slave while pregnant. Which leads to the same sex scene, but with different dialogue. Or create an entirely different scene to accommodate her sex slave route. Now I'm not a dev, but one definitely sounds more easy and straightforward than the other. But that's just how I see it.
