I'm pretty sure the official T4 version has only been leaked once since I've been playing (0.8.2-ish I think, maybe a bit earlier). Occasionally recently someone mods the base version to have the same effects but those are always unofficial and imo a bit risky. For example I'm pretty sure there is a T4 version of the latest update somewhere in the previous pages, but it sounded like it was pretty buggy.
But yeah the subscribers seem to be pretty loyal here. Which is fine, we get 99% of the content anyway for free

Edit: Also, they post updates to itch.io, so you could follow them there
Ugh why did I not see this? I think I'm too used to this site's UI, well thanks for mentioning it anywho.
I just noticed there's been an update for 4.1's alpha about an hour ago, good additions.
I started playing around that time as well.
I'm quite content without the Tier content too, there really is nothing vital to the experience lost if you play without it which is a good way to handle that kind of things if you ask me.

So something weird just happened. My MC has married Aria and completed her questline. She is at undying affection and has only 3 corruption.
I just got an event where it says she stayed the night at one of her mercenaries and missed a meeting thus lowering the states power by 50.
Is that merc my guy or is she gonna hoe around no matter what if she's chancellor?

EDIT: She also lives at the manor and sleeps in the master bedroom..
I had this as well, I think it was to do with her willpower? The event probably needs a corruption check and not just a willpower check.
While that specific event is probably referencing you, there are a few corruption events that don't:
  • 37: If Aria's corruption is >=50, Aria will cause a scandal. 3/4 are fine (lesbian orgy, buttplug in a council meeting, being the sub at a sadistic orgy), but the last one is her sucking off an old council member for his vote.
  • 68: Aria is subject to a rumor (which she admits is true) about an affair with a randomly determined other party. This seems to happen regardless of her corruption.
You probably got event 91, the purge. If Aria is your slave during this event, she's not in the office when she needs to be and Ikaanos gets a penalty (and the paper reports that she was at the house of one of her mercenaries - you).

She is a free woman and my MC's wife. She has no corruption willpower over 100 and undying affection. Scene has happened a few times.

Just making sure!:LOL: I read on here that she hoes around with high corruption but the way it was worded made me wonder if it meant my MC this time.
Thing is he is a hero in Ikaanos. Even got a big statue from Aria so just referring to him as rando merc 367563 seems weird to me.
My Aria is fucked into submission (-15 willpower and 99 corruption lmao) and for some odd reason she hasn't been the subject of any negative political event while living at the house. It's been a solid 100 days since I finished NWO, so I think this is past the realm of "just press new day" now...

You know Chancellor be damned if she starts doing shit the MC doesn't like the player should have options to punish or depose her for her infidelity.
Hypocritical? Sure but my MC IS the power of the Republic. I fund the military I stop all the big bads and everyone knows it.
There should especially be options if she is the MC's spouse. Have a playthrough where she is a corrupted slut? Well like all the other sluts no gets to touch them without permission.

This kind of disincentives me from playing a corrupt play through.

Hey guys a couple questions:

1) Is it just me or is melee generally better than range in terms of damage. Since melee scales off both skill and strength whereas range only scales off skill. The only issue for me seems to be that melee might struggle more against evasive type enemies. But my followers are doing more damage with even just whips and power strike on slaving runs compared to the occasional coil gun shots I need to fire off.

2) What are the reprecussions of the secret garden quest once you confront Mrs. Bouchard?

I would agree that those events probably shouldn't fire if she's the MC's wife. Infidelity is definitely an issue. But otherwise, corruption equates to "sexuality", so if she's not your slave or wife, it makes sense for a high corruption Aria who's the chancellor to sleep around since you don't "own" her at that point. Personally, I would say if you don't want that, keeping her corruption low would be the way to go

I see your point but I disagree. She is still dependent on the MC to help make the republic work and there is a reason she will still live at the manor.
Hell even free and married she stills calls my MC "master" from time to time.
I think her whole system should be iterated on. I can see why a purely self-interested MC might tell her to do whatever it takes to see them get ahead thus authorizing and encouraging her to use her sexuality for their benefit.
Same way you can with any of your other girls on a corruption playthrough but it should be optional IMO.

Yeah I'm not sure if it's a probem per se, but it's definitely true that the idea of 'corruption' has changed as the game has developed. In the code, the name is still "likessadist", so it was probably at some point intended to work more like the oral/pussy/anal preference, except for general sadistic/painful activities.

If I were redesigning the game from the ground up... well, I wouldn't, because the game is so large that it would be a massive undertaking lol. But if I were, I would probably separate out general libido/sexuality from liking sadistic stuff. I'd also probably separate out general willpower from obedience to the player in specific.

I agree but I don't think the corruption stat is really just a "sexuality" checker. Like you said it also indicates kinkiness and BDSM and general depravity.
I've noticed the girls seem more sexual as they gain experience or stats in the various sexual areas. I'm on a purity run and several of the girls have only been with my MC but they have become increasingly enthusiastic about sex in general as their stats have increased and thats at 0 corruption.
So I don't think corruption=sexuality. I think it equals well corruption lol.

Yeah I'm really just theory crafting here. I'm not opposed to having some way for the MC to tell Aria to keep it in her pants for gameplay/roleplay/self-insert preferences

Judging from how those events aren't firing since my Aria has the willpower of a doorknob and the corruption of a streetwalker, I actually like the headcanon that her being kept at the player's household prevents others from putting their hands on her (Assuming I'm not sending her out as a prostitute, but that would be a separate deal) since in my playthrough there wouldn't be any resistance, unless GD decides to implement a loyalty stat to separate your slaves throwing themselves at you and turbowhoring the general public. I do think it would make sense for a special option to more or less tell Aria to whore herself out in-office to benefit her position or yours, marital status or otherwise, since otherwise they're just end-of-day flavor text.

A loyalty stat would be great and solve a lot of issues IMO.

The Secret Garden quest tells me to send a broken or affectionate slave to the bookstore. So I assigned an "undying"ly affectionate slave to the bookstore but nothing happened.

I searched this thread and there were more people with the same problem. So far the answer they received was "It's WIP". But I read reports that there is supposed to be a bar appearing that the slave has to fill? That doesnt happen for me. Here is my guess: I believe it just doesnt work with affectionate slaves. Only broken slaves (<9 will) advance the quest. Unfortunately I dont have one at hand to test this.

Open the journal, there should be a progress bar for the quest. Check it the next day to see if it moved. If not you'll need to check the stats of the girl to see what you're missing. Like j01ntr0l1a said, you also need decent INT.
Or you could go grab Juno, I think she advances the progress bar regardless of her stats
If there's no progress bar at all, make sure you're running version 0.8.4.0 of the game

Assuming you don't plan on selling them, are there any reason to not free a slave once you fully train them? There seems to be several debuffs to having slaves in roles, so it would at least appear that in order to maximize the benefit to your household, you should have them be unpaid servants instead?
