Fake Count - OH OH ok, so what that is, is that some players did not want the women to be auto converted when reaching a new transformation level (I don't personally know why, but I always listen to feedback). In response, I had Mars add that system, so that int he Preferences Menu, players can turn off the auto conversion, and it will freeze the woman at whatever stage they are- UNTIL you hit the upgrade button. At least, I think that's what you mean.
As far as the extras, like that, you get specific unit bonuses for each woman fully converted/upgraded. As far as the sprites of them at what you call stage 4 or 5 (I think you mean T3 and T4?)would, indeed be too much work. And other players, even on this very forum, want them to stay at T1 or T2 even. Which, already the number of renders for each woman is more than some entire Renpy games have, and trying to do it for every Transformation Level would just be inhuman- even for something as inhuman as I am! So, I appreciate that you see, logically, why it is undoable. But, as I said, that's why I have so many Transformation Levels, so that people have at least ONE of them that they enjoy. You'll be happy to know that in Faction games (and any commissions as well as one of the bad ends in the Slugs and Bugs: Invasion Redux novel), T4 is where they will be. That is how I like them, myself. Here is Justine from the select screen for example:
