VN Ren'Py Imperial Chronicles [v0.12] [Lazy Monkey]

[HYLIAX]

Since it seems like we will gradually re-establish the Empire and conquer all of the major kingdoms, I wonder how the choice of wife will be handled. For example if you chose to marry Isis instead of Aurora, then when we go to conquer the North will we meet Aurora there and have her as a potential love interest?

And Aurora mentioned having an elder sister who can't walk. I wonder if she will be a love interest too, and how it will be handled based on whether you choose to marry Aurora or not. If you marry Aurora, I'm sure she'd be vehemently opposed to Elis pursuing her sister, though perhaps she could be convinced given the sister apparently has no marriage prospects so Elis could potentially be her only chance at "love"?

 

[DrakoGhoul]

I find this quite an interesting contrast

Marrying a girl like Aurora requires Elis to prove that he is mature enough to make his own decisions if he does not want the bad scenario like in the reflections to happen because basically, he has almost no political support from his wife, this is the type of play of a player who likes to control everything

And if you choose Isis or Cass, in some scenes, you will see Elis being overshadowed by his wife and sister, although he will be supported politically, however, not everyone likes to be a king or prince who is controlled or looks weak in front of women

I don't really agree when it comes to Isis. She doesn't control Elis. She assists him when she knows he needs the help. She gives him advice but doesn't overextend it. As she knows it's important for him to make decisions himself. And it's not like she makes Elis look weak by being competent herself. I don't even know how wanting a competent wife is a signal that someone wants to be weak and carried by their woman in the first place. What's wrong with your wife standing up for you? I would even say it's better to have a wife that can defend herself and her husband than one who can't do much of anything beyond existing.

I do agree with your sentiment when it comes to Cass though. I don't think it makes sense in general for Elis to leave everything to her and her allies. That's not something a ruler should do. But Isis isn't really like that. She mostly hangs back and let Elis do his thing.

I really like your perspective

Everyone has their own perspective, and what you said about Isis also convinced me

Overall, choosing Elis's marriage partner is like choosing how he will grow up before making the most important decisions that affect the whole thing related to the prophecies

Everything is still ahead and I look forward to how Lazy_Monkey makes this story memorable

 

[Filipis]

I had the same bugs.

Another thing, and this is me asking for something which is absurd but just want to state it, but I apologize in advance as it is the kind of comment that really sounds like "please write the game how I LIKE IT". I am concerned of the choice of kill Cass. Given that she can no longer show up in routes, doesn't it generate incentives not to include her in paths even when alive, as it is simpler to just write a scene without thinking of having to write an alternative version.

I love the potential paths, but I am concerned of the incentives here, given she is not a side character but a main character, and in my opinion best girl.. Again, sorry for the "spoiled" concerned.

Anyway, I love the game and I have recently subscribed to it, amazing job!

Oh, by the way, I do hope Corina becomes a more regular girl, absolutely loved her.

Not only can Cassanda be dead/alive for the rest of the game's plot, but now Alaina or Conrad, too.

As much as it is exciting to have these impactful decisions possible, it is also scary; LM is hellbent (thankfully) on keeping this game on a 2-month development schedule, so these variables are making his job harder and mean less content for individual paths... unless their involvement in the plot is significantly reduced going forward, which diminishes the choice in the first place.

FFS Dev, why in new update there's no Name Saving for a game with multiple possibility ? Why taken out this function from last version ?

 

[Filipis]

Yep. Chapter 2 will definitely be interesting to see. On one hand, I want a big time skip so we can start interacting with our children. Like seeing Azalia at 4 trying to climb shit, spying on her mother. But on the other hand, I want to see the progression of the pregnancy. So I hope it's a bit of both.

Same here. Since the kids are irrelevant until they are of age, showing our women with our children (pregnant/nursing/playing) is the true harem experience, and I hope LM delivers on that instead of skipping over - because that would be one giant timeskip (15+ years), which sounds rather unwieldy.

The Save Naming feature is probably from one or more mods you used on the previous version. Just install those mods again (if compatible) and you will have it back.

Before posting, I looked every attached mod in here, none of them has name saving mod. And I'm pretty sure I'm only installed I-Patch every time this game update and it has default name saving. Can anyone correct me or Filipis ? Is name saving was mod or was featured in the game before this update ?

My Improved Translations mod (featured on the front page) has the Name Saving functionality - did you use that one?

 

[Xythurr]

Does the story ever cover the girl that became the kings elven camp wife? The one who bore him a slew of bastards? Surely it's not the queen because that would mean she has neglected children out there which seems very out of character for her IMO.
Also I doubt they would send a lady of ancient nobility and an apparently legendary bloodline to whore herself out just on an off chance she gets an in with the human leadership.
Could it have been Alaina herself?

One time I using it, but then decide not to because something I didn't remembered. I think I just want the original text. And to revert back, I always clean install (aka delete file and extract fresh). I'm using live google phone translation to read not-translated Russian dialogs in English version. In short, I do think name saving existed before in vanilla.

But if your mod has it, then I'll use it. No time waiting the dev to change it.

Warning, this is most likely a scam. You have to pay for an adds free gameplay, needs permission to all your phone files and you must be online while playing, too.

Makre sure to use the report feature, if you can't figure out which one use game update so an uploader sees it quicker or use "other" which usually goes to a moderator to check. But using other seems it takes a lot longer. I reported another one earlier to have them check since it's a brand-new account instantly posting Android ports.

I already reported it. And did that with other similar posts lately, too. I only added the warning here since it takes some time till it get's handled from the staff. And unfortunately in the meantime they get their wanted clicks (here someone already liked and probably downloaded and fell for it)

Josephine is hot but her scene is terrible. You could hardly see anything because of the Camera angles

Im a big fan of proneboning so the scene was perfect for me lol

 

[lonzee]

this is not harem??

It's theorized to be Celestine, Sera's twin sister and Elis aunt. Since her children say they were raised outside of the forest and don't know their father. And seeing how Celestine resents her sister a bit for stealing her fate, it's highly likely she personally volunteered to play part in the elves plan to seduce the humans. Seeing as Noira has black hair like Elis and Lia. It's believed that they're half elves as well.

I'm sure we'll probably get more insight into it at some point. Whenever we meet our Auntie again. Or maybe via another vision.

 

[KKhalduras]

God is sad with all the Alaina hate on here

only a few here actually "hate" her. The rest either dont mind/like her or at best, just think shes as slimy as Conrad

Conrad is slimy, why...?

I completely forgot those details about his aunt and her kids including the hair. Good catch dude!

Filipis I need your translation skills to understand this sentence
Those rectangles supposed to be comma or something?
