Somebody feels threatenedFor the sake of immersion and realism, I propose to reduce grey hides size, not even real bull/cow bigger than grey hide, etc have that big.

Does the game have a quest log yet? To tell you what to do, so you don't game over on certain days?
This game is extremely complicated. I don't see how it's possible to not get a game over by week 60.

It got delayed by Covid because my writing output dropped hard and I needed to devote more of my time to the game proper.
In all fairness, she was always intended as the second most important character.
Thanks for noting the chronology issues. We'll take a look.Since the devs seem to be reading this thread:
I encountered 2 chronological issues in the latest Steam release.
Number one: I first entered Rastadel from the north after visiting the big orc camp.
Then that very long scene at the court unfolded and I met that lady with the mask.
Two weeks or so later Jezera sent me on a mission to go to Rastadel and meet her ally at the court...
*confused head scratch*
There was also a minor chronological problem with a Greyhide scene, the one where he refuses to work and gets thrown in a cell.
It triggered directly after Alexia announced that she wanted to do assigned work in the castle and before I ever could assign her as Greyhide's assistant. The scene still pretended that she assisted him.
Rowan was labeled as Andras in one of the dialogues in this scene btw (after Andras left).
I can't wait for the illustrations for the sex scene in that event, the writing itself was already hot as fuck but I would have loved it even more with some artwork.
Also encountered some spelling errors and sentences repeating themselves. I didn't take notes though but could if you want the next time I replay this.
Also one small request:
Please clearly point out any game mechanics and stats affecting RNG outcomes and unlocking or locking scenes (through popups and the UI).
I don't like to be kept in the dark about Rowan's and Alexia's corruption for example. Toning down the RNG stuff would be cool too imo but at this point I'm not sure if that's even an option anymore.
...
Oh and please do sth about controller/gamepad support. Wouldn't be difficult for this game and right now it's not there (world map movement doesn't work with a XBox 360 controller).
Regarding errors in editing. Feel free to hop on our discord and note whatever you find. We keep track of errors people note.
We're doing more to communicate Alexia and Rowan corruption. One subtle way we did it was the addition of changing portraits for Rowan in the menu screens. For Alexia work has started on her high corruption signpost, which should add some clarity.
Right now we have more pressing technical concerns with the ongoing reworks to the mechanics and UI to improve playability. But we'll look at controllers if we get the chance.
As part of our UI improvements, we're planning to add a more in depth and effective questlog. We're hoping that should help improve playability. I can't give an ETA, but it's pretty high on our docket.
In the game there are triggers for if Alexia has had sex with Orcs. When has she had sex with Orcs?
I've also noticed some chronological errors. During Greyhide quest, after Alexaia and Greyhide don't fuck during the banquet where they get drunk, Jezara sent Liurial to call me to her room but I hadn't met Liurial in that run yet.

Diebesgrab has laid out how to avoid most of the game overs really well it's in the op.
There's also commands that help if you don't care about using them, castle treasury and castle.rp in particular make it easier to get the brothel and a spy early to get Raeve with an infiltrator as well as avoid the gold game over.
castle.treasury = #
avatar.gold = #
avatar.exp = #
avatar.mp = #
week = #
change_relation('cla_min', #)
change_relation('cliohna', #)
change_relation('skordred', #)
change_relation('draith', #)
change_relation('xzaratl', #)
all_actors[u'alexia'].flags['jezera_influence'] = #
all_actors[u'alexia'].flags['andras_influence'] = #
all_actors[u'alexia'].corruption = #
all_actors[u'alexia'].relation = #
avatar.base_corruption = #
avatar.base_guilt = #
avatar.base_infamy = #
change_favor('jezera', #)
change_favor('andras', #)
castle.rp = #
castle.military = #
castle.tech = #
castle.morale = #
castle.villages = #

The game's already compressed relatively well. It just has a ton of stuff in it.

I’m not quite sure what’s confusing you about the map, but perhaps the links in my signature may be of some limited assistance.

One thing I noticed playing the last update:
The map doesn't seem to offer enough content right now to keep up with the stuff happening in the castle.
There is no balance between both parts, I'm in week 36 now and there is nothing left to do on the map besides running around and hoping for chance encounters.
I think that's not a new problem, but it seems to have gotten worse.

Keep in mind Act 1 is still missing one third of its map's area, the goblin forest still hasn't been added yet I believe.
It is true that if you optimize your movement you can go through most noteworthy locations before the timed events start getting in the way, but I personally don't think that's a bad thing. Devs probably wanted most noteworthy locations to be possible to visit in a blind playthrough, if you are optimizing your movement you can use your extra time to track random events like you mentioned.

Also we're reworking the map a bit in the near future so it's a bit more engaging

I know. However, for me to fix that problem, two things need to be done:
- A functional skill system, so exploring quest locations isn't just a sightseeing tour.
- A proper sidequest UI, so the player is provided the information they need to find sidequests on the map once they become available.
Both elements are now being coded in, which means that soon enough, I'll be able to start populating the map with proper quest events.
Did a little test run earlier to see how much time burning through all the Bloodmeen events took in comparison to the map. About 2 and some years for the home events to get "exhausted". I captured Rastadel in just over a year so yeah there is a bit of an unbalance. And I´m pretty sure I missed quite a few events when doing that plus some questlines arent fully in yet. I´m thinking even with a bigger map/redone it might be that some things need to be speed up a little.
