Are you perhaps on the latest alpha release version?
Yes, this is the new alpha. That's my bad, I didn't read the changelog well enough. Anyway, this seems like a pretty powerful buff to guard power values, especially since it completely disregards the actual ability of an NPC to use their equipped weapons in combat
So THAT's what's going on. I wondered why I've lost every single raid on my house despite having pretty high power rating and some guards with strong stats. Anyone who's not on my A team is usually unarmed and not wearing any armor... DOH!
My guards have "other ways" of maintaining securityKeeping your guards without weapons and armor...I wonder what can go wrong with it??
It is more succinct to say Paragons cannot be enslaved except for two: Felix and Milou.
Uniques are understood to be every NPC that are scripted, handcrafted by Grim and not just a random NPC. Some of them have unique storylines, unique image/render, their own unique traits, or at least fixed traits, and intended statline. They can be found here:
It helps to first think why are you training the trait, so you can evaluate which ones you want done first.
You do not obsessively give every girl in your house a pistol and a knife just in case?
Quite deliberately not. In primus, armed slaves often don't stay slaves. Secondly, weapons can be sold for money. Thirdly, never give a gun to someone unless you know they know how to use it (and a number of my girls don't).You do not obsessively give every girl in your house a pistol and a knife just in case?
Thanks for y'all answers. I've got 1 more question
Oh nice. I didn't realize Felix and Milou can be enslaved. Would be nice to train up Brawler on Milou. Felix could definitely use workaholic if he doesn't start with it. Ayden and Clea don't really need any extra traits, and all of the others could be trained up however you want BEFORE you free them if you want them to be paragons. Other than Aria I didn't even know those others could become paragons.
How low is "low Will"? Because if it's more than 0, it shouldn't be the problem. IIRC there was also some cut-off for high corruption at which point background/hopes and dreams stops working, but I don't recall what it was.
who's the 'guard'?
Well, 97 of my NPCs have 80/80 Melee and Ranged Combat stats or higher, mostly just from guard training. When you are living in Raana, you need to be able to handle a few bandits and raiders. The new house raids are something I have been roleplaying for a bit now, so everyone is strapped the moment they get to Undying affection.
None. You have to raise their willpower and lower their corruption. You can use the anti decadence lecture in the shrine in your yard three times a day.
Armor matters. I tried it on Helo. His Guard Value went from 22 without armor to 26 with WEGA.
Are you sure about this? I can't find anything about armors in the code.

A genie told me to give you this. Let me know if it works for you or if I should yell at him.Quite deliberately not. In primus, armed slaves often don't stay slaves. Secondly, weapons can be sold for money. Thirdly, never give a gun to someone unless you know they know how to use it (and a number of my girls don't).
I grant only the second is a gameplay issue, but I don't play this game entirely for the game mechanics.
Seems like I will need to train and arm my scavengers, though.
The coming update looks to be a good one, and best of all one that doesn't require a restart.
I am, however, increasingly wishing there was a script to grab the skill and trait values of everyone in the house and put them in an Excel file. Once upon a time I knew how to do things like that...
