The thing is with Isis sleeping around makes perfect sense she even offers you a servant to fuck in front of/with her, but Aurora is written as a much more typical and 'pure' girl so it really feels like there should be an option to be loyal to her/that there would/will be severe consequences for (getting caught) cheating on her
Normally, you would be correct. But like most women in the medieval settings, they have no power to impose their will on their husbands. MC is the king, and if he wants to cheat on his official wife, he can do so with impunity. The reverse, however, is not allowed.

The thing is, up until this update I've been able to avoid any scenes I wanted to even with main girls (hence how I've completely avoided incest content up to now) but now I'm forced to dry hump my sister anyway, what the hell?
This is a bug, I didn't think that someone could prevent the consummation of Elin's marriage without being on a romantic route with her. As a result, there is no corresponding variable check in the code. I'll fix it in the next update.

I mean if we're being accurate to a medieval setting, than no the king could not actually cheat on their wife, espically not in Europe. Some places would practice polygamy or concubinage, but this practice hard largely died out in Europe at least by the time Europe became Feudal.
However, such practice as favoritism was distributed in medieval Europe. For example, Edward III and Alice Perrers, Charles VII and Agnes Sorel, Alfonso IX and Eleanor de Guzman.

if you not on her route yeah, because she married with lockhart.
These news changes everything...

Mind you, I don't care about "NTR" in the sense that an LI you ignore or pass on develops her own relationships down the line, but many on this site would still consider that some form of NTR-lite.

I'm expecting the crowd with pitcforks and torches to arrive any minute now. And the guy who asks if there is any NTR in the game.

I don't like that this update had a mandatory scene. I'm talking about the scene where the MC grinds on Elin when they're with their mom, I'm doing the Aurora route and I'd like the option to not cheat on her +I don't do incest content in general. I'd like scenes to be optional in general but if there are mandatory scenes it should be with the chosen wife
just like in monkey business (incest, harem, pregnancy, voyeurism, romance, corruption, etc) and several new ones that fit the setting :whistle:
Hi, could you please check the thing above? I'm not sure how you intended this scene but it looks like it's a bug in a code.

if sis_dramma == "agreed" or sis_dramma == "blackmail" or sis_dramma == "white" or sis_dramma == "violence" and elin_intro_mood < 0 or sis_ring_end > 2:

I assume scene should happen only if you have negative relations or chose forceful ring ending with Elin.
It seems how the code is written renpy pairs (sis_dramma == "violence" and elin_intro_mood < 0) while others go with or so scene happen for all scenarious even if you have good relationship and chose love ring ending.

Probably code should look something like this:
if (sis_dramma == "agreed" or sis_dramma == "blackmail" or sis_dramma == "white" or sis_dramma == "violence") and (elin_intro_mood < 0 or sis_ring_end > 2):

Men cannot get pregnant, women can. It's really that simple, and anyone who screams 'unfair' to this arrangement just ignores the biological reality that paternity NEEDS to be ensured for the stability of the realm.


There's also the fact that the game depicts the prince as a womanizing drunkard starting from the beginning, so your choice is kind of made for you in that regard.
When you're essentially thrown away for literal years by your parents over stupid shit and constantly having to watch over your shoulder for assassins, I'd be a womanizing drunkard too.

I am not trying to delve deeper into gender dynamics here... though you are absolutely right.

Ironically, becoming a womanizing drunkard is perhaps the most dangerous thing to become for self-preservation; how are you supposed to watch out for threats while blackout drunk, or inviting all manner of women into your bed?

I agree. Honestly, I think he was depressed in the beginning and dove into it to cope with it. If I was tossed into exile through no fault of my own, I wouldn't give a shit about trying either.

I hope Cass goes back to having shorter hair, or we get more flash back scenes. It was a cute design
When you first arrived in the west you can choose to see the past, the present or the future.
If you didn't side with Cass in the coup she's imprisoned. If you pick to see the present you see a small scene with her.

She'll look like this if you didn't side with her I guess.

Damn I would go with that but the price is too high, I don't want to lose my boy Acker

Greetings everyone!

I recently started to rework & improve the English translation of Imperial Chronicles as a pet project of mine. With Lazy_Monkey 's blessing, I share the first part of the game (named Intro) with you in hopes of improving your gameplay experience and encouraging another replay!

In addition to the dialogue rework, missing scenes & dialogue was added, variable bugs fixed or cleaned up for a smoother and cleaner experience. This includes the "recap screens" which will also get fixed so that player choices are properly tracked & expressed.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy working on it! 0.1 is currently underway, and will be published soon!

P.S.: If I missed anything at all, please let me know, and I will fix it ASAP!

The instructions on how to install everything is contained within the files. Enjoy!

12-05-2025-UPDATE: Packaged all the files necessary in a neat little folder with clear instructions on how to easily install the improved script files + added 0.1 content! Going forward, this attached folder will be updated with newer releases as I finish them, as well as this post to let you guys know. Now featuring a Game Save naming option!

09-06-2025-UPDATE: Update 0.2 has been fully translated and fixed up! Thanks for being patient, but sometimes these things just take time. On that note, I have to unfortunately slow down this project significantly, as my main project is being picked up again. I will be a full-time script writer & coder for that one, so the translations will happen when they happen. If anyone wishes to contribute, feel free to DM me with your work so I can review it and maybe even incorporate it!

22-08-2025-UPDATE: The development of this mod has been halted in favor of a "definitive" version of the game, that will include better translations as well as much more! Check out this post for more details. Thanks for the support!

The attached files are, in order:
  • The first three "intro.rpy", "intro2.rpy", and "intro3.rpy" files are the original script files in Russian - just fixed up. These replace the files found in the root of the "\game" folder.
  • The second three files are the English translation files, and they go into the following location "\game\tl"
Thank you for this. You can tell english is not the first language for the creator and that he's trying. This would improve the game massively for people like myself who can't stand bad english. Context is everything when you're writing.
