Edit: Before anyone wastes their time reading this, I figured it out. If you can't figure out why you can't date your slaves, then this might help you.

I enjoyed this game before the update (not sure which update changed this)
I still do, but what's ruined for me is that I can no longer date my slaves other than the starting one.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
I tried giving the thread a search, but not really finding an answer.
Part of the fun for me with Strive for Power is having the option to build a relationship with your slaves before pegging them. Obviously, the "relationship" isn't anything deep or anything, but it was how I enjoyed the game before the update.
Can you only date Subordinates now? Can anyone help me understand this? Maybe I'm just playing the game wrong.

edit: I just remembered, you use to have to unlock "dating" but it was pretty easy to do so. Maybe it's still like that, but the menu has changed and I can't find it.

edit x 2: Oh I think I see now. From the looks of it, they need to be a "Subordinate" and you have to unlock dating with gold.
It also looks like for slaves, you use loyalty to unlock dating. This works for me.

has sex images this game? or text based only

The game has some images for certain events. There's also some actions such as spanking slaves during training that also have "generic" images, but those just serve the purpose of showing what's going on in the scene because it's really impossible for the game to know what your slave looks like without having thousands of image variants.. The event scenes are nice though and have much more detail. They're not really animated, but they do have phases so you're not looking at the same image through out the whole scene. I'd say this game is a good balance between text base and image based.

You can also mod the game to give your slaves portrait images. There's a large community mod pack that I like. This is how I prefer to play the game. The game will pick a random portrait for the slaves you meet, but you can always change the ones you don't like.

For example, one of my slaves uses this image : )

Here's the link to the mod if you're interested.

Ah yes good ol' imagepack.

This actually needs a "dynamic" paper doll style of sex images like what you see in the ERA games especially eraAS.

So can you make yourself a loli in this game yet or no?
There seem to be some race-specific restrictions, but yes, you certainly can start as a small and flat-chested female character. The game would not allow you to declare them a child - they're either "teen", "adult" or "mature" (which does not seem to affect what options are available for appearance).
The same rules apply to the first hireling you get, for a different value of "make yourself a loli".
Getting yourself further lolis is a matter of chance, but goblins you'll be catching at first tend to be small.

Yeah that would be neat. I'd probably still be hard to capture each motion since a lot of the different posses would still need to be redrawn, and support all the customization options. Paper doll style characters might end up looking stiff. Or maybe not, idk. I'm okay with what we have now, but I wouldn't be against it if they did manage to do something that looks nice.

Yeah you have to unlock the dating and service features with points earn from training. Took me a long while to figure out too cause the tutorial is lacking as hell

Yeah I think they're still updating so makes sense they're probably not wanting to make much tutorial on something that might end up changing. Once you figure out how things work, it gets better.

I wonder if there is any plan to change the combat system, which is inherited from the original Strive for Power (which itself is inspired by very old school RPG games). Changing it into some kind of 2D board-like turn-by-turn system like in Going Deeper seems more interesting and more in touch with the multiple jobs/skills that the game has at the moment: you could actually use the work jobs and field type (forest, cave, water) relevant in the game mechanics.

I heard that yes, there is work being done on combat system now.
I don't think it will change radically, but it will be thoroughly rebalanced.

Currently my game crashes on launch. It opens, the window size gets smaller, and then it crashes. The window is also titled "Strive for Power 2 (DEBUG)", which I find odd. Any fixes?

Edit - ran the console .bat, it threw up constant errors about not being able to open files or load resources.

How do you start making enough money to keep up with the debt? I've tried having all hired help out mining while mc is forging swords to sell, but that only gets me past the first payment. Am I missing something?

Honest work doesn't pay well, it's true.
I recommend taking quests on the quest board, and doing them instead.
Dungeon raiding is also a decent source of money. Don't forget - you can sell slaves you captured there right away, without making them join your roster or transporting them to the market.

While the debt can be paid with some serious strategy, it's not intended to be paid. Do quest board missions and follow the main quest (via the Servant's Guild leader), the debt gets dealt with as you progress.
