I capture people as a result of combat. I can find no way to do anything with them and they only show up as slaves in my Followers "Support" list. How do I sell these people? The wiki say I should have a way to dispose of them at home, but I see nothing, and taking them to slave market shows nothing. And I've hit "Max captured slave capacity reached!"
Exit your home. You can then process them while in North Redhaven

Thanks -- I see the icon to process slaves and that worked.
Slaves can be processed in your home area or at either slave market area (Watery Eyes and Crystal Heights).

Additionally once you can start donating slaves to Fort Sera, that "process" turns to "donate" once you're in the swamp area where Fort Sera is.

It's done a bit weirdly. Go to the home DISTRICT, not home-home, and then click the "Inspect Captured Slaves" button. You can process them there.

I only have two data points so take this with a grain of salt, but running a late game on my fairly new computer and my very old computer (Firefox on both) I see very different lag times on end day.

I refuse to use Edge but now I'm tempted to try Chrome and see if the end day is different there...

Edit to add: "late" for me still means under two years game time and about 100 NPCs in my house. I know some people here go much further.
"I refuse to use Edge"
Yeah, can't stand it myself (another longtime Firefox user).
And I assume everyone (with Windows) got this - but I just loved how it automatically downloaded Edge to the hard-drive & tried to make it the default browser.

Hey, i just started and this game is amazing. Played it so much yesterday i had a dream about it lmao. Anyway i have a few questions: What is merchandise for? Can i sell gear? And what's the most efficient way to raise my and my follower's combat stats?
There are a few things you can do with merch. You could just sell it. You can use a workshop to break it down into components. Or my personal favorite, just donate it to the Islamic church for standing. Once you get their standing up around 5-10 they'll start paying you passive income and that will ramp up indefinitely the more merch you give them. It's not a huge amount of income unless you have a crazy number of perfectly trained scavengers but IMO it's better than selling it directly and I would rather have my workshops produce production points to build swords/rifles/etc.

You can sell in Redhaven at the market, or in the shops around town. You can also take the ferry to Hannah Bay and get better prices for the stuff they buy there.

Once you decide who you want your primary combat team to be you will probably want to train at home with them as followers. You can train both melee and ranged that way up to 120 for followers and 130 for MC. You get bonuses if you have a dojo in your yard. You can also just randomly gain points from combat and that ramps up all the way to 150, but it's slow (especially for ranged). So I prefer to train ranged up to 120 as soon as I've got my stamina to a reasonable level. Higher skill improves both your chance to hit AND your damage. If you do a lot of capturing with whips then melee will go up fairly quickly with or without any training so I frequently don't bother training that at all.

Also if you're a new player I would HIGHLY recommend getting the Aim implant from the doctor's office once you unlock Crystall Hills. That makes MC pretty much guaranteed to hit with ranged even if your ranged skill sucks. It does not improve damage though (tested with and without at 150 ranged, zero difference).

If this wasn't clear, you can also auction them from you household if you add them when you process them. Go to Actions and Watery Eyes and Crystal Heights should be in the list on the left. You can auction them there and sometimes (most of the time) get much more money for them.

Plus if you add them to your household you can check for useful traits. Eventually you can also send them to mines, farms, etc.

Edit the html to remove the ludicrous 1600 strength, (but brace yourself the fight against the apc is even worse)

alternativelely you need to go in with a full killsquad composed with Clea Vallas and Ayden Rhoades... equiped with HULC armours, plasma rifles and both "master tactician" and "master of war" perks, then only if RNG allow you will be victor.

Grim just outright hate fun.

I actually found the palace fights a lot of fun. You certainly need to prepare for them though.

It's best to buy hulk armor before you do it. You can also get 2 Cyber Cannons before you do it which are pretty helpful (1 is free if you decipher the right clue, the other you buy on the mastersphere). In addition it helps a lot if you have Master Tactician and Master of War as well as 130-150 melee and ranged skill and max strength on everyone. You should also get health implants for everyone.

You want to use Cyber Cannons and Plasma to reduce soak on the heavily armored targets and great axes against anything with no armor. I haven't done the palace fights in awhile but if there are any super high dex melee types you are better off with ranged against those because some of those are tough to hit even with 150 melee, but not with high ranged.

You might also want to get the occult powers first. One of them is a heal that is a free action during combat. The palace fights were quite doable before the occult powers existed though. In fact the first time I did it, I screwed up and saved AFTER starting the rebellion, and BEFORE I bought any Hulk armor or the cyber cannon from the master sphere. So I had to do it with plasma and duraplate. That was my only save that run. My first attempt... Did not go well...

I use f-11 to cycle back and forth between full screen and windowed as needed after setting my game size in the same way bob765h described. Getting the browser frame off the screen gives me significantly more viewing area in game.

Can i sell gear?
Yes. Even better. You can make your NPCs make the gear so you do not have to spend time crafting them yourself. Still have to sell them manually though.
is there a way to somehow have 2 slaves work same job somehow? Because if not she's basically useless? or am i missing something?
This game has way way way more NPCs than there are unique jobs/roles. From your definition, there are a lot of "useless" NPCs.
Also if you're a new player I would HIGHLY recommend getting the Aim implant
Oh, right, that thing still exists. I wonder if Grim updated it so it deducts Beauty from the MC now (-5) instead of Charm like it used to since Charm got split into Beauty and Charisma now in the alpha.

EDIT: Ah, it does deduct Beauty. Installing it lowered my Beauty.

Without knowing what and who you have, we can only give generic advice.

Things to do
  • Better Strength increases melee damage and health; Herculeans cap at 130, except for Cassius who can start with as much as 225 STR. Lower body types cap for less.
  • Better Stamina increases health.
  • Health implants in Crystal Heights' Doctor's Hall (NPC Menu ---> Actions ---> Doctor's Hall to put them on NPCs)
  • Combat Tendstims. You can buy them in the Mastersphere medbay for now. You can use them in combat. How much you can use is dependent on your team's combined Medicine stat.
  • Better Dexterity increases chance to dodge against melee attacks. Very Petite and Petite NPCs cap much higher (I think it is 130 now) while Herculean will have lower DEX cap. Ultra high DEX is good at dodging melee weapons but suck against ranged weapons.
  • Better Melee Combat stat and always start in the forward position to instantly be in range to Powerstrike (there's a powerstrike button) with greatswords or greataxes. Get to 150 Melee.
  • Better Ranged Combat stat increases ranged damage and ranged accuracy. Get to 150 Ranged for every one in your party who is shooting.
  • By
  • Better weapon = more damage; check Imperial Arms in Emerald City
  • Better armor = stay alive more; check Imperial Arms in Emerald City and Old Transit Station in the Palace District; bare minimum WEGA armor is my recommended (or stealth armor for one of your NPC with the least HP).
  • If you want to use , you can.
  • Better NPCs. There's always going to be a limit to what an NPC can do and sometimes some NPCs are just that much better for the job. Short of raising super-children and learning how to properly do eugenics in this game, which can take a while.
Better Combat Traits on NPCs (you can check for more information):
  • Malevolent: +5 damage, unconditional
  • Brawler: +5 damage on melee only
  • Warrior: +3 damage, unconditional
  • Berserker: additional damage die for melee but this is available only for Aaron Kreuger and your children if you picked it in the nursery creation screen
  • Crackshot: 25% chance to deal an additional damage
  • Certain unique traits that belong to only one scripted NPC, check the wiki link above for more info: Shadowborn (Kate Veeron), and Liberated (Clea Vallas)
On the actual fight itself, killing him first. I forgot if he had high DEX or not. Is he dodging melee attacks pretty well?

If he is fighting the Palace Warmaster, he is probably past the APC.

Nope:

<<if $pallen is 4>>
/* GUARDS palen3 */

<<set $amb to true>>

While moving carefully through the streets of the palace, you're suddenly jumped by the famous Wazi Guards - Hakusan swordsmen hired as the elite guardians of "palace affairs".

<<set $enemy1_type = 3>>
<<set $enemy1_pos = 3>>
<<set $enemy1_state to 2>>
<<set $enemy1_poswant = 3>>
<<set $enemy1 = "MASTER VAM">>
<<set $enemy1_weapon = "powerkatana">>
<<set $enemy1_health = 250>>
<<set $enemy1_htype = 250>>
<<set $enemy1_wpskill = 120>>
<<set $enemy1_dex = 110>>
<<set $enemy1_armor= "combat">>
<<set $enemy1_soak = 25>>
<<set $enemy1_sex = "him">>
<<set $enemy1_strength = 1600>>
<<set $enemy1_level = 13>>
the Apc is the one right after that.

ps: fun fact, everyone else in that group has (max) 150 strength (which is a lot but considerably more reasonable) I genuinely though at first 1600 strength was a typo

Was the order changed or are we talking about different NPCs? The Palace Warmaster with the samurai icon is inside the Palace and to get inside, the three crown encounter with the APC has to be beaten first. Seems we might be referring to different NPCs. Because if there is a Vam outside, I just killed him. Should be doable first round if that enemy only has 250 HP and combat armor. The one I remember taking a massive chunk of health from my team when he swings his sword was the Warmaster and he had a greatsword I think.

EDIT: I found him. This is the Palace Warmaster. 2600 STR.
