Aww man, it didn't work out. I don't have high enough spell casting to cast fear and she won't listen if I threaten her. I probably just need to let her attitude crumble until she starts refusing to train and then abuse her. I just don't get the gameplay in this game. It's like you are expected to save scum for 3 days for a 200 spark profit. I'm just not really getting anywhere after hours of wasted time. I thought pushing through the normal difficulty tutorial yesterday would have helped but it didn't. This is just as unplayable as it was before and I still don't get it. Rebellion and obedience are total chaos and move around without any indication as to why. Character progression will just stop for no apparent reason until a certain amount of time and money are wasted and then they will suddenly start working again. Some slaves just require an ass beating even if it doesn't make any logical sense, it's just what they require to move forward. I really like the systems that were built for this game, but the gameplay doesn't work for me. Like I said yesterday, I just don't get it, must go over my head or maybe I just don't like the game.
This is a common problem, your slave has 1 spoil and that's causing issues because she has no taming and no devotion. Here's something you can try;
- Raise fear to 3. Its pretty easy to do actually. Just get her to do something she will almost certainly never accept, like train xenophilia etc. The purpose of this is to get her guilty so you can punish her to raise her fear. If psychological punishments dont work, use physical ones. If guilt levels arent high enough, cast sententia veritas before making her do tasks she wont accept.
- If you cant cast spells on her, its worth just continuing to try because you build your magic stat that way. Or if you prefer instant results, just wear wizard's robe or noble regalia, or cast magna magnifika first. It might work...and even if it doesnt it builds your magic stat so its not all a lost
- Increase taming by putting leather collar and crown of thorns.
- To reduce spoiling, you can make her sleep on the floor or put her in the dungeon. Raising fear first is crucial
- To increase devotion, first make sure theres no spoiling, then train sex skills or take on dates for rewards. You can start doing this when her obedience turns positive
Also, dont bother living in the slum. These are for real hardcore players who want a challenge. Getting isabella as an assistant is invaluable, since you can use her to keep your own feelings happy (unhappy slavers dont train well) and have her do the menial bits like cooking and cleaning.
If the game seem too demanding in terms of sparks, just start the game with milord as slaver, that's 8k sparks. It'll easily allow you access to an apartment and it'll take quite a while to drain away. Even if you eventually fail (no more sparks), you gain invaluable experience understanding how this game works.
