HTML Masters of Raana [v0.8.4.8 A1.1] [GrimDark]

[khumak]

In your example, I would read it as "+40 Persuasion/Charm bonus with others that belong to the Christian faith."

Yeah I would agree that I think that's the way it should work. Just not sure if that's the case. It felt like I was getting better persuasion results with my slaves who are not Christians but I was upgrading my house at the same time so it might just be the persuasion boost from the bedroom/living room. I'll have to try converting my slaves and see how big of a difference it makes. I would think +40 would be pretty huge.

could anyone that has the html document for version 0.8.1.4 and or .8.1.3 please post up for download?

Found another potential option for an arena slave just now. Not sure how reliable her stats are but this is the katana wielding girl in the Space Hulk's group in my current game. She starts off considerably better than the valkrie in my game, although I had the valkrie's stats trained higher by the time I got her, this girl has better perks.

Nice, a premium combat slave! And at least she's better looking than the half-orc. You know the one I mean.

Warrioress, Brawler, Steel Maiden. Once that Strength gets up there she'll be a total beast in the Arena.

For you guys playing the newest version. What's the update button "Set CORR to 40" for?

Accidentally, old versions start with City Corruption 20, which is Orthodox. That button will set it to 40 (Normal). One time only. It disappears after the first click.

 

[HereandNow2022]

Thanks Grim... is there any way to examine a slave before "processing" her? collecting slaves to become soldiers for the Fort.. can't figure out a way to examine female slaves to see if I want to keep or donate since once they get processed you can't donate. The latest version really looks good. Quite enjoying it. Now, for the Love of All that is Holy, show us some love in the upcoming housing tweak and give us some way of training up girls to do task like gardening and maid and then parking them somewhere so they aren't clogging up our main slave roster.

anyone have the newest version they are willing to upload?

GD does! Over on Discord.
Sorry I shouldn't make fun of your request, this is after all the sort of question this forum is originally for. But I doubt you'll get much support for your request in this thread. Many of us are paying supporters, and it is in our interest (the way I see it at least) to have more paying supporters. Enabling GD to spend more time on development is really paying off for me.

It's probably not intended for it to be used this way but I wait til my control gets up over 50 or so and THEN I click that button so I can have more stuff to fight for longer If I understand the way control works, once it gets above 50ish, you get a lot less bandits spawning around town.

Next Alpha project

• MC Home expansion. Although originally scheduled for 0.8.5, I feel that this beast actually needs immediate attention. It includes a complete overhaul on how you expand and upgrade your home – featuring detailed sleeping quarters for all slaves, a better UI overview, room interactions, new upgrade options and lots more. Your household will also have expandable slots, kind of like new "buildings/rooms" that allow you to give your home a specialized and unique flair; build a home clinic for Caitlin, gyms, sweatshops, expand your library or choose from over a dozen other possibilities.

So looking forward to this... I need more slave slots so bad...

How are you getting it to go up? For the most part I've only seen down, it sank like a rock.

I'm confused. Grim says "CORR" is corruption. Why would there be fewer bandits with higher corruption?

I think he had it mixed up with the button to decrease control.

I'm not sure how it's supposed to work. I had assumed that control means how much control I have over the region so as I continue clearing stuff out, doing bounties, quests/etc that my control goes up. Maybe I got random events that raised it, not sure. In any case, inside of about 60 days I was at more than 50 control and almost all of the bandits stopped spawning. I was basically left with the rifleman that spawns in watery eyes, the girl with the rifle who spawns in stokke hills, and a freebooter group that spawns right near her. That was pretty much it. The entire rest of the town was mostly empty of anything to fight. So I was paying $1600ish a day for top tier merc salaries and had nobody to fight other than bounties plus arena. Also meant I had no way to train up respect on my slaves.

Oh just saw your other post. Maybe I misread something. Yeah I meant control not corruption. I haven't noticed what's been going on with corruption so far.

I did finally get around to using some doctor's kits and those work great for getting my mercs back up and running after a tough fight. So I'm actually thinking I may just run with 1 or 2 top tiers for a considerable time and keep Bud, Dexter, and Doyle around much longer. If I do a tier 6 I'm pretty much guaranteed to lose Ayden and probably also Felix since the game seems to have decided that he's next in line for tanking duties, but doctors kits fix them back up without stat losses so as long as I actually win the fight it's ok.

I'm not clear on how doctors kits work for the MC since I haven't gotten far enough since I started using them for my MC to be tanking. Ran out of money to buy the health implants. If doctors kits work on MC then it might be interesting to try to minimize merc salaries while still doing the big bounties and just not care if anyone goes down since I can fix them with doctors kits. I'm not willing to take permanent stat losses on a regular basis on my main though so I'm not sure if that means I should skip the health implants so that Ayden remains the main tank.

I had a...different...experience. I can't remember where it started but after a few bad events control was in the twenties and I'd never seen it increase, only drop. I read he balanced it somewhat with this current update and I did get a +2 control event but it's still in the mid-twenties. I think he also increased the likelihood of the Forts being taken even at higher control levels.

Maybe I got a string of unlikely events that tweaked control. Not sure. I just know that pretty early in the game there was basically no longer anything to fight which was pretty annoying. I heard you can fix that by donating a ton to the bandits but my crafting was no where near the level that would be required to do that in meaningful amounts.

I guess it was just luck then, a couple others had a similar experience to mine and I guess some ran into your problem as well which is why he's tweaking it.

How many power plants do you have left? I'm now down to seven. Prosperity is looking pretty...grim...here too, low twenties.

My corruption is going the wrong way too, church chimed in with a nasty -5, plus a couple others that lowered it. I want to be able to walk my shameless naked sluts down the street in peace, is that asking too much?

Yeah it might have just been bad luck. I have never had the town be totally empty like that before in previous games. I actually started over again, partly because of that and partly because I filled up all my slave slots and couldn't hire some of the ones I really wanted without selling someone. Didn't want to have to wait til I could get the retreat.

I'm hoping that doctors kits work on MC like they do with the mercs but I haven't tested it yet. Ayden winds up being my main tank for a long time but if I get the health implants my main would eventually become the new tank.

No idea about the power plants. Not sure if I've gotten far enough for those to be an issue or not.

I think this time I'm going to try and be extra stingy until I can get the investment in the general store and weapon store up and running so I can better afford my mercs, even if it means selling all of the weapons I would normally want to donate for faction. I can always craft more of those eventually.

I'm also kind of curious how religious conversion works. Didn't get around to trying it last time. I did noticed that one of the options is an intelligence check so I'm kind of curious whether a success on that might give a chance for an Int increase. The other option was a dominant approach which I'm assuming is probably manipulate. I failed every time I've tried so far.

Most of the religions seem to give a pretty huge persuasion bonus at max devotion so if it's moderately reasonable to convert, that would conceivably be an easy way to make the girls nice and compliant even with 20 charm so I could take my time caressing my way up the charm ladder later. That would also give more time for some extra manipulation increases before I read the books.

I kind of like the Christianity start for the bonus stamina so far.

One other option I've actually never tried that might be interesting is to focus heavily on the slave trade early on. Instead of immediately selling those female slaves I capture, train them up a bit and sell them for a lot more. I imagine that would be a lot of fun but I don't know how viable since I've never done it, especially at relatively low starting charm levels.

I've done that, it was even tougher back when we only had six house slots plus the Arena.

I'm not sure about doctor's kits, I think you might have to have a slave with a high medicine in the first slot or something. I vaguely recall something like that. This character has not had the benefit of any doctor's kits, I had to take my lumps. As I was so late getting to the Medicine books I simply forgot about them and never trained any of my girls in that. That's something else I can still do with this character.

I only sell weapons to get to my goals in the beginning. That's Combat Armor, then Duraplate and finally the Roo and Walton investments. Nowadays I wait on Aria, I want to tame her quickly and there's other options for the Arena, more now since recent additions.

I've not ventured into religion. I've been kind of biding my time as it shakes out to see what I'm getting into before I take the leap of faith. I'm awfully tempted to take AEsir worship, but human sacrifice squicks me. Someone on the Discord asked why the slaves he kept donating didn't seem to add to the faction size...talk about naive! Maybe I'll take it and obviously not send any slaves there but to the Fort instead.

I do think the religion effects open up some interesting strategies, especially if you convert all your girls.
