bruises, which considerably lower mood and beauty. They heal away but it takes time (where u not beat the slave). The worse the bruises or traces of beatings, the more time it takes.
You can also reward with rest (hour/evening), give her massages (if you don't have B+ or higher medical skill, the spa will do it better), and keep her happy, to heal bruises faster. Slave endurance and master/assistant medical skill of course plays a role also.
You could also injure her, depending what weapon you used. She won't rebel again on the same day, though, so you can proceed with punishment, if still appropriate.
if u have a proud or spoiled or dispaired slave: reduce this first.
there are 2 kinds of rebellion: if u stronger than ur slave she just get bruises and u continue ur punishment... if ur not she will fight u and this can have even deadly consequences... reduce her red hp to 0 and u kill her. Most deadly weapons (sword axe and that stuff) will cause red damage. With a whip or lash or fists u mostly reduce stamina and willpower (green and purple). This still could injure.
These are priorities but not necessarily the top priority. A little bit of pride, spoiling or despair isn't the end of the world. High pride will oppose some activities (like housework) but not all. Forcibly lowering pride with punishments may not be worth the side effects, when you can instead let it drop more gradually through positive training. Again, this depends what your training goals are. If she needs to be a maid then maybe you do need to focus on pride... or maybe just buy her a complete maid outfit to get her in the proper mindset.
These no longer provide a stacking benefit. One is enough.
Rape side effects like despair are easier managed by a skilled master, but rape also quickly raises some obedience factors. Rape can also be used to mindbreak a slave that is very resistant. Mindbroken slaves will do whatever you want, which can be useful for training the master's skills with a disposable slave, although learning will be slow. You can also reverse mindbreak by building up the slave's nature again, although it's a slow process.
You can punish above her guilt if rewarding at her guilt is not effective, just manage the despair resulting from punishment beyond what she thinks she deserves. Punishment below guilt will spoil the slave, so it's usually not advisable, but it might also cheer her up, if you're looking for ways to do that.
Yes, and pride. And nature, temperament, intellect. Obedience just determines what she will refuse completely. Other attributes also come into play (both for slave and for master) when deciding whether she will refuse something sexual.
Devotion is usually something that you look to build after she's already D-, although there are shortcuts for skilled masters. Devotion also rises naturally when she is obedient and in a good mood, even if you aren't specifically rewarding her. Of course, keeping her happy is easier with regular rewards.
Painful punishments also raise taming. On hard difficulty, only humiliating or disgusting punishments lower pride.
Good advice, but... Wiki is woefully out of date.
Giving fresh food is a treat and will spoil a slave with no devotion. Stick with dehydrated food and add supplements if her health is poor. Also, giving her bigger portions can help a bit if she's unhealthy, but watch her physique.
Well, I think we may share a different standard, potions make sure you don't die in most occasions, so it's never necessary in testing but a guarantee in the unluckiest situation or when you have done a wrong decision, since arena combat bans potion, so I don't use potion in mist combats' testing with best two-handed weapons, but super attack permitted.
Health is usually the min number in three blood numbers, defend recover 10 stamina(green blood), while you don't have an immortal feature, when you defend you lose more red blood, and then you usually have to drink potions, wasting 2 turns doing no damage. Defend can be useful sometimes fighting multiple enemies, but combating with a single strong enemy, it's usually not a good choice.
Facing multiple enemies, the first to do is reduce the nums of enemies, gaining buff rabies、overclocking or marksmanship at the same time, that's the most error-tolerant strategy.
Ignore this part temporarily, I found in the new version codes that you removed most of the rand() in base harm of weapons.
Green damage
| Enemy base damage | Elven chainmail 0 enemy harm modifier | Gothic Plate 0 enemy harm modifier | Elven chainmail 1 enemy harm modifier | Gothic Plate 1 enemy harm modifier |
| 10 | (2/3 red or purple)*(10-3) +(1/3 green)*(2 same color/2 agility* 10-3) =7 | (2/3 diff color)*(10-6) +(1/3 same color)*(20-6) =7.33 | (2/3 red or purple)*(20-3) +(1/3)*(2 same color/2 agility*20-3) =17 | (2/3 diff color)*(20-6) +(1/3 same color)*(40-6) =20.67 |
| 20 | (2/3 red or purple)*(20-3) +(1/3 green)*(2 same color/2 agility* 20-3) =17 | (2/3 diff color)*(20-6) +(1/3 same color)*(40-6) =20.67 | (2/3 red or purple)*(40-3) +(1/3 green)*(2 same color/2 agility* 40-3) =37 | (2/3 diff color)*(40-6) +(1/3 same color)*(80-6) =47.33 |
In version 2.0 it does, red and green attackings nearly miss all the time even if you have a 2x bonus, only purple attacking have a good hit rate.
Yes, necessary.
I would say, the loan become useless after you succeed to survive, so you only needs the first two level of loan(500 and 1000), the rest useless.
This part of designing can be more unrestrained
Reasonable, but changing interior design through the estate office shouldn't influence standard of living.
Do we have this restriction? Where is it in the codes?
And reward for better food, not only in moodlets. A bonus in strength、training diligence and obedience if you can keep eating decilicous food for several days.
I think not necessary, it may bother more if players have to remind themselves of the durability often.
On the contary, I think it should be a large bag of money. Several months ago I mentioned a designing that, champions fight for their titles, you gain money reward the moment your slave win the arena battle, and if she became Arena Grand Champion, she can win reputation and guild reputation for you everyday, lasting for a decade. and 3 days before next arena day, use a pseudo random number to determine which enemy will she encounter, if she wins again, she gains even more fame(adding every time she succeed in fight her title), if she lose, she won't die, gaining less fame, then fall back to Arena Champion, waiting for next arena day.
Finishing C+ guild contract is a good way and maybe the fastest way to earn money, at least useful for a long time, because it doesn't require moral level and doesn't demand your slave to be master at any skills.
Adjust the fame rising speed fit for her rank demands, both in arena fighting and racing. But it shouldn't be slower than her training, cause' milf is not proper for racing, loli for arena either.
Shouldn't be too much before we add more game contents to this part.
In fact, I rarely use Lethe potions, maybe only for Fercility to clear her 5 spoil. Even fear and despair they do benefits for obedience. Most occasions I mention Lethe potion happen when I see players misguided by some old, wrong strategy that Lethe potion is helpful to mind-broken status.
Unless you are lucky or have post-patrician rewards, I expect to need at least one healing balm in a top-tier mists battle. Those battles shouldn't be won consistently without consumables. If you are seeing that in your testing, then we should make those enemies harder.
Chimaera gem for reduced health damage taken (2.2.1 revised behavior) isn't hard to get, but I do want it to remain optional (make up for its lack with more consumables).
In most multi-enemy fights, you need two rounds to kill one, so that's two rounds of all of them hitting you. For an attack-first strategy, elven chainmail certainly helps, if one of their attack colors is green. But multi-enemies usually have lower base damage, and gothic plate gives slightly more base damage reduction than chainmail. Considering you are hit multiple times, gothic plate should leave you with more health at the end of the round, unless you are lucky with chainmail and most or all of the enemies picked green damage.
Your analysis makes more sense with the understanding that you're trying to kill them before they kill you, without using potions. But as I mentioned before, that's not really how I expect mists battles to go. For example, you should usually use a balm before your killing blow, to more efficiently minimize injuries. So minimum expectation for a difficult 1vs1 battle would be 5 turns: 2 turns applying attack multipliers, 1 turn using a super attack, 1 turn taking a balm, then 1 turn attacking again to finish.
After the first round, you might be taking double damage from more than one color, so this analysis is only for the first round, correct?
Curious.
As your slaver gains skills it becomes easier to complete contracts quickly, so the risk decreases. But still, if you are careless, you can find yourself with larger bills than expected, or maybe you made a mistake in training and you will need more time to finish a contract. The small loans are a way to bridge an immediate cashflow error. (Taking a guild contract for the prepayment and temporarily putting the new slave in cryo is another.)
I was thinking along similar lines. Already in 2.2.1, we have some of the homes giving you certain rentals for free. (Included, really.) The music and art room doesn't exist, currently, so we'd have to think more about that one. What would it do, functionally? You wouldn't be able to teach those lessons without the space for the musical instruments and art supplies? Seems like you could have some instruments and art supplies without a dedicated room, but maybe we should require special supplies to train above B+ in music and painting (and dance?) at home. Need to think if school still should be allowed to train to S+.
Not change it, but it might limit it. However, at the moment we are only allowing you to raise living standard by one level above the "natural" level of whichever apartment you choose. So for example, Necropolis can reach Luxurious but the "natural" level is Respectable. Purchasing better decor could be made a prerequisite to select the upper living standard.
Look in #options for colosseum "battle" button.
Currently (2.2.1), eating S+ food can raise master strength to A+. Eating B+ or better quality food is necessary to avoid losing strength.
Fair enough.
In 2.2.1 it's currently a maximum of 150 sparks. Overall, I'm thinking that we want the cost of living to exceed what you can earn from arena events every decade, so that you either need to sell slaves or live in the slums. Raising the cost of rentals will accomplish that.
C+ requires 1 devotion and at least one mastered sex skill category for the slave.
I don't think we should remove the low ranked contracts entirely, but maybe a speed bonus should only be given if you are completing contracts at your guild reputation level or higher. That would make the lower contracts less valuable but not worthless.
How long does it take you to train an S+ slave? Felicity challenge gives you 120 days, so it's achievable within that if the slave has high enough attributes. I think achieving Legendary fame should take longer than 120 days / 12 decades. I've come up with a formula that puts it at 19 battles for a slave starting with no fame, while also having sensible alignment for early fame (D- "rumored" after 3rd arena win, C- "recognized" after arena champion battle).
I'm waiting for Pianocat's input on the barn as most of it is his design.
Right. For Felicity I prefer to just train her and get rid of the spoiling "naturally." A fully skilled master has plenty of tools for dealing with a spoiled brat. In fact, I feel that Felicity isn't challenging enough. Maybe we should make her harder by adding some interesting traits...
are u playing 2.2.1? cuz in 2.2 the mood buff from clothes and shoes is stacking
I'm playing 2.2.2 now (see post above describing experimental changes). But my comments were about 2.2.1.
A mindbroken slave can rank as high as C-, and the guild will accept them for contracts (or to the subpurchaser). Also, they are easy to train. Just slow. The tricky part can be getting the slave mindbroken without them first attacking you or committing suicide. Mostly I'm trying to point out that mindbreak isn't a bad thing to avoid at all costs, it's just a thing that can happen ... and also un-happen, if you need it to.
How do you "go for it"? My point was that it will happen naturally soon enough if you're keeping the slave happy once they become obedient. Specific rewards can speed it up a bit, but mostly the rewards that do that are the "intimate" ones that the slave won't accept before they are obedient. I usually think of the beginning of the game as a low-skill situation, but of course there are many possible advantages you can start with. As the master gains skills, more approaches become viable.
It's not that hard to raise nature. Martial arts lessons, sparring at the arena, "time off" rewards that give the slave a chance to interact with others, winning arena battles, sleeping in a boudoir, it even increases when the slave refuses orders or breaks rules. If trying to recover mindbreak, arena sparring or martial arts lessons are a good place to start the process.
I wouldn't say pride makes it take "much" longer for maid training. It's just 1 point of obedience. It just means that it probably won't be one of the first things they're willing to do. As for sex training, you can work around high pride by making the slaver more alluring, raising the slave's arousal and dressing them appropriately. It's totally possible to do sex training with a high pride slave if you stack the other factors in your favor. And once you're doing sex training, pride falls quickly.
I'm not saying don't use punishments. Of course, punishments are a great tool if used correctly. At the same time, they're not the only way to be successful, and sometimes a softer touch is needed, even if it takes longer. For example, if your master tries using physical punishments and ends up in a fight, that could be a game-over situation depending how capable the master is. So, there's multiple ways to play.
I found a small bug revealed by my attempt to adjust the guild contract timings. They were not actually being used in the calculation for the guild contract turn-in, so you'd be considered late if you were past the 2.2.1 timings and in the extra time allowance that I added. Now fixed.
I tried this. Have to I change a gif name to PNG? I tried to convert gif to png and even animated png. It does find the png but only one image not all the images that are in the gif / animated png hence there is no movement. Am I missing something?
hj_general_young_2.png is an example of an animated image currently in the game. It's in content\pic\girls\sex_scenes. If you open that image file in a browser, it animates.
I passed the tutorial(all 3), but there you are already given a lot of things by a skilled master
