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

[Gunner Rey]

The latest one here

Cole's Canyon might be 8.2 then, ought to be out by the end of the week.

There are any hidden bonus to hit with the bolt rifle? Wiki says nothing about it, the game says nothing about it but I´m pretty sure that the members of the team that are in the 50% skill don´t miss 1 of each two shots

Not sure if anything changed in the version I'm playing now or if I just happened to hit some threshold I don't normally hit regarding the strength of my mercs versus my main character, but in my current game Ayden seems to consistently wind up the main tank for advanced tactics fights and then the game doesn't seem to pick a backup tank. If it's a tough fight and Ayden goes down then they just randomly hit all of the mercs and my main after that. They do focus fire on Ayden first though.

In my current game I can control if the MC is the tank or not: As long as he wields the big sword he isn't, as soon as he equips the plasma cannon he is. When wielding the sword, Conor and Mr. Doyle are tanks before him. Melee skill is at 140 and ranged at 135 (no implant).

I wondered about that. In my previous game where my melee was high enough to switch to the close position I never had issues with MC being the tank. Haven't worked my way up to that point in my current game so I break out the plasma gun for the tier 6 bounties. I don't mind being the tank for most fights but I don't want to be the tank for the tier 6 bounties. If just switching to a weaker weapon is a reliable way to avoid that then I could always just use a rifle or assault rifle for the tier 6 bounties until I get my melee up. Will have to test that out.

Edit: Just tested with a coil gun and that seemed to work. Enemies took out Connor first, then focused on Ayden instead of me.

How do you hack the access door with the code at the reservoir?

I played around with this some more in my current game and it does seem like you can pretty reliably manage who the target is via weapon selection. For a tier 6 bounty now I will start off using a plasma gun on round 1 so my MC is the main tank. Then I'll switch to an assault rifle for round 2 so one of my mercs becomes the main tank.

That usually allows me to beat most of the tier 6 bounties without losing anyone now, although my armor gets pretty beat up now. I'm thinking I may need to alternate between wearing Combat Armor, Weave, and Duraplate so Caitlyn can keep up on repairs.

I'm sure switching to a melee weapon would work just as well but so far I'm into the 3rd month and have yet to see a single enemy with a katana or a greatsword (other than the girl with the space hulk, but I have never seen that fight actually drop a katana).

 

[GD-studios]

GD-studios I love the game with the freedom and all the kinky stuff. Just one thing:

It would be infinitely helpful to get a cause and effect stat change screen at the end of day. With more than 2-3 slaves you can track 1 or 2 stat changes over the day(s) but not much more. If I want to effectively track a stat over time I have to take up pen and paper and write it down and check the stuff every now and then -.- . You get some info at the end of the day for the main slave if she lost some strenght or gained a point in the domestic trait, but that's it. Seeing all the stat changes from one day to the next for all the girls would be immensely helpful to recognize (unwanted) trends and see if your actions have the desired effect for each girl. Something like:

Arias Intelligence increased to 48 (+1 - University)
Arias Willpower increased to 33 (+1 - Junos Advocate trait)
Arias Happiness decreased to 88 (-2 Buttplug)

You could even put that into a job, an upgrade or a service you can buy.

Thanks!

That almost sounds like the current LOG we have in the Domestic Engine (0.8.2). It's still pretty rough around the edges but tracks all the top slaves' most important attributes. Having further information about what is actually causing the changes is currently in an experimental phase. That would be extremely time-consuming to fully implement, however, as there are thousands of unique situations that could potentially affect skills/attributes.

 

[GD-studios]

Maybe the aim implant doesn't count for skill level or something? I think it's a combination of your skill levels, health and weapon wielded that determines whether you get targeted, but admittedly that's a guess.

Base chance for calculating enemy aim (Advanced Tactics) is "Max Health", followed by Melee and Ranged skill. Armor and carried weapon are also two strong factors - IF the enemy is carrying a weapon that could affect it. You'll seldom see a knife-wielding (Advanced) Thug attacking Ayden if a leather-clad Lovisa is nearby, for instance.

 

[GD-studios]

Not sure whether I accidentally screwed it up somehow or if Grim changed the storm child in the latest version, but when I went to get her this game she wasn't there. As far as I know it was my first time in the auction unless I did a misclick that I didn't notice. Does she show up again later if you miss her?

Since A5.3, I've started removing "test" scripts. That means Stormchild has been added to the general roster (2% appear chance). Bandit girl in Stokke Hills respawn chance has also been drastically reduced, etc.

 

[SharkVampire]

How do you hack the access door with the code at the reservoir?

Buy hacking gear in general store and the option will appear. You need to remember code after you hack.

I'll miss her eagerness to respawn. She took so much of the grind out of the grind.
Before her it was Haruto Pai and the bug of endless bounty.

All financial irregularities I had grown fond of, ultimately doomed to be fixed.

On the upside, Haruto Pai's girlfriend Telika makes a great slave with the new capture mechanics!

How do you track escaped slaves?

That would be extremely time-consuming to fully implement, however, as there are thousands of unique situations that could potentially affect skills/attributes.

Perhaps you could go with general categories for now? Even if it's not "detailed enough" information, at least it would give some idea where the changes come from.

Have a side script that assigns "quest/event" "sex session" "training" or whatever tags whenever an attribute change, and throw that at the end of day summary (if not an "accessible-at-will" panel that generates this on the fly for at least current day).

Anyway, just a thought. Can't wait for the 8.2 public, been sitting on needles waiting to pick this up again. Solid game

She was the best part of my day most days I went out.

She is one of the reasons I'm looking forward to a restart.

As far as I know, at this juncture in development you can't. Once gone they're gone for good.

Some of the random slaves are pretty nice. It actually inspired me to start a new game with a rather restrictive house rule to force myself to put a lot more focus on training up my slaves. No hiring any males with more than 25 health, and only random slaves allowed (either captured or from the auction house). Makes for a... challenging start. But so far it's fun.

 

[Gunner Rey]

Decided to impose a somewhat restrictive house rule on myself for my next game to force myself to do more slave training. No males with more than 25 health allowed (other than MC). Rifle Savant and Loden are ok.

I bet you can make it work too, cool idea.

You making a beautiful and immersive game not even accounting H-content.

May I ask you, is it save-compatible when version advances?

Yes.
