Others Completed Strive for Power [v1.0d] [Maverik]

[notmalthus]

If anyone can answer me few questions, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

1. How to heal health and stress to slaves?

Health can be healed by resting, via Heal Spell, and by assigning a Nurse.
Stress can be healed by resting, via Sedation Spell, and by equipping certain clothing (Sundress, Kimono, etc)

In both cases, you get better recovery from having better luxury rooms assigned. Insufficient or Low-quality room assignments can actually damage both stress and health. A dirty mansion also impacts this, so keep things clean.

2. Any way to permanently increase "looks" stat? (Beauty mixture is apparently temporal solution).

The laboratory has an enhancment that permanently increases appearance once per character. It provides a bigger increase the lower the initial appearance stat, but can't raise it above 100.

You can also permanently increase appearance using nature tattoos.

3. Can you raise max stats? I couldn't raise mine higher than 7.

The laboratory has enhancements for permanently increasing the cap on Str and Age by 2 ea.
Magic can be increased over its maximum limit through the permanent application of magic tattoos.

4. Are there any consequences of stress?

High stress at the end of the day can cause personality damage, typically around 5-10 damage per stat. It's one of the only way's I've found to drop stats down low enough for Dolls.

5. How to keep injured bandits from running away?

There's a couple ways:
1. Cast Shackle when they start to run
2. Have a Trapper in your party for a passive chance capture
3. Learn "Acid" and use it when they start to run -- assuming you have at least a couple points in magic, it's usually enough to finish off a bandit.

6. What is effect of relaxing insense during sex?

No clue! But interaction options & effects during "Meet" and "Sex" vary greatly depending on which room you are in, so it might be related to that.

Just one more question if anyone can help.
Few of my slaves have rebels against me ("Due to recent events X-slave rebels against your control").
I tried punishing them, fucked them to oblivion, I put advanced brand on them, but nothing helps (some of them have both fear & loyalty high, so I don't know that cause it).
If anyone know solution or tips, please help.

Thanks in advance.

 

[buttfart]

did you just capture them? if so throw them in jail until they stop rebelling, if your jail is full put shackles on them, sometimes they take a pretty long time to stop rebelling, also i think sedating them and healing them raises their opinion of you, and i don't remember for sure if raping your jailed people makes them stop rebelling fast or not. good luck

 

[Daba]

I didn't make Emily Hale leave when her sister came for her and it seems I broke quest doing so.
Any way to find her sister or restart event (save editing perhaps)?

Thanks in advance.

I've found the following works pretty much every time without fail, but it can be a bit game breaking. Kind of feels like cheating now.

That works for me 99% of the time.

You can also use the Dominate Spell -- it seems to do a decent job of clearing the rebellious state overnight.

 

[My Magnum Dong]

Did the devs remove the child trait in a past update? I just came back to this game after stopping for a few months.

 

[redle]

@Daba if you cast mind read on your slave it not only tells you that the slave is rebelling, but also the "strength" of the rebelling. This number must be reduced to 0 for them to stop rebelling. So if you just want to experiment on your own...

read mind and make note of slave's rebel level;
save game;
do something to the slave;
read mind and see if number changed;
reload game and try something else...

I will warn that there is randomness on most anything in the game. So if you only try something once and see no effect, that is no promise that doing the same thing again will still have no effect. Need to do things a few times and kind of feel what the average effect is.

If I recall correctly, a slave being in jail gives a percentage chance of reducing strength of the rebelling by 1 per day. And the percentage is heavily influenced by how good your jailer is.

i notice that the exchange feature has some bug where item gone missing. Also, if you exchange all the enchanted item at once and get only one in return (the feature say 3 for 1)?? Is this a known bug?

 

[Aidevilehelli]

$shoppanel/exchange/TradeButton.disabled = itemarray.size() < 3[/code]
with:

    $shoppanel/exchange/TradeButton.disabled = (itemarray.size() % 3) || itemarray.empty()

and the whole function:

func exchangeitemsconfirm():
    for i in ItemsForExchange:
        globals.state.unstackables.erase(i.id)
    ItemsForExchange.clear()
    var newitem = globals.items.createunstackable(globals.weightedrandom(treasurepool))
    if newitem.enchant != 'unique':
        if randf() >= 0.3:
            globals.items.enchantrand(newitem, 2)
        else:
            globals.items.enchantrand(newitem)
        #newitem.enchant = 'rare'
    globals.state.unstackables[newitem.id] = newitem
    exchangeitems()

with:

func exchangeitemsconfirm():
    var new_items = (ItemsForExchange.size() / 3)
    for i in ItemsForExchange:
        globals.state.unstackables.erase(i.id)
    ItemsForExchange.clear()
    var newitem
    for i in range(new_items):
        newitem = globals.items.createunstackable(globals.weightedrandom(treasurepool))
        if newitem.enchant != 'unique':
            if randf() >= 0.3:
                globals.items.enchantrand(newitem, 2)
            else:
                globals.items.enchantrand(newitem)
            #newitem.enchant = 'rare'
        globals.state.unstackables[newitem.id] = newitem
    exchangeitems()

You mean if i exchange 6 item i can get 2 after i change those codes?

For chole quest, it appears stuck to me. I've already get learn the skill by paying the 25 mana but i keep coming back a few days but she doesn't appear to be missing.

 

[martinlongbow]

new to the game:
how do i increase obedience? i read suggestions like give them luxury, or put aprodisiac to the food but no clue how to do that?

do you buy from the market and give them as items?

 

[martinlongbow]

Aphrodisiacs are for lust, luxury items are for luxury. Obedience is a different stat. Play the in-game tutorial first, it will answer many questions of yours.

There are many ways to increase the obedience. You can: punish a slave (from the Interactions panel), cast spells on her (Fear, Domination), force her to wear clothes like the maid/butler uniform or the pet suit, heal her, date her and fuck her (from the Interactions panel again).
Basically, treat her well and she will obey you (no risk to spoil her, this is not Jack o'Nine Tails), treat her harshly and she will tremble in front of you (this increases her obedience too, but more slowly: also you could break her mind, which is usually bad).

Freshly enslaved NPCs are quite rebellious: to fix their attitude read what other players have answered to Remzis.

thanks alot. last quesiton ? i captured a level 2 slave. i managed to be intimate but cant do anything, not even forcefully. she resists brutally or sth like that to everyhting. what should i do?

 

[redle]

i notice that the exchange feature has some bug where item gone missing.

I believe this functions as designed.

I have also exchanged 3 items and not seen a new item appended to the end of the exchange list of items. However, there is a cursed sword item (and possibly other special items). The cursed sword does have magic, but can not be used in the exchange window (because it is cursed presumably). While YOU can not trade away such a sword in the exchange, Umbra can REWARD it to you. Most likely when you think the game broke, you actually earned a cursed item.

So while you can not immediately see any return for your trade, if you search through all your gear back at the mansion you should have something new.

 

[martinlongbow]

if she resists your attempts, you can block her or something like that: but if you are weak and alone, you most likely fail. It's easier if you have a rope (in the mansion inventory) and a companion to help you.
I would raise her obedience first, this makes things much easier.

If she is still rebellious (Due to recent events XXX rebels against your control) see the previous answer. Once you build the alchemy room, you can just give her an amnesia potion and heal her: this removes her rebellious status and boosts her obedience.

If she is not rebellious anymore, but her obedience is still low, I usually date her once. First of all, I move with her to the gardens (if her confidence is lower than 50) or to the streets (if higher), this gives me five more action points. Then I play nice. I usually do this:
- chat X3
- hold hands
- comb hair
- hug
- chat
- intimate talk
- touch
- kiss X2
- French kiss X2
- Request intimacy
Unless her initial obedience is very low, this sequence never failed me. There are most likely better sequences though, have fun finding yours.

i have rope but how do you ask other slaves to help? i dont see that option

 

[martinlongbow]

In the "sexual interaction" panel, select you (and/or a companion of yours) in the "Actors" column and the rebellious slave in the "Receivers" column. Click then "Subdue" or "Rope" (the latter button is displayed only if you have a rope in the mansion inventory).
If you or your companions are weak, you will probably fail. If you successfully pin the slave down, you can have fun with her. All of you, if you have used a rope; if one of you is subduing her, instead, he/she cannot torture the slave.

Eta: on a side note, the demo of Maverik's new game should be out in a few hours.

I pin her down but still dont work (ropr or subdue). still says she is resisting. i guess i am weak. how do i add companion though? i dont see their names there

You can not "add" people once sex is begun. Also, if you start sex through the talking and hanging out interaction you can not bring anyone along. For multiple people:
Click "Interaction"
Click "Mode: Meet" (which will change to "Mode: Sex")
Then you can click multiple people in the list of names. Everyone you click, and yourself, will enter the following sex event.

As for how strong you are, I do think race of the people involved has some influence (as some races are naturally stronger). Other than that Strength is a base stat. It is pretty easy to see how strong you are and how strong the other person is. I do not know how much stronger you need to be, but you can at least check who is the stronger and by how much.

In case you just started playing, I will mention that you start out with all your stats at zero. The startup sequence makes it seem like you are setting up your character's stats and giving them decent values. This is not the case. What the startup is actually doing is setting up the maximum values you can eventually reach. Then you start with everything at zero, as I said. Not knowing your own strength makes me think you may not yet have discovered that as you level up by fighting you need to apply your gained points to your character (The game does not really tell you in any way when you gain a level or have unused attribute points. It does for slaves with a "+", but nothing for the main character).

Thanks. I guess there's some bug. Had to keep finishing a few days for it to work.

Just checked out Maverik's new game demo. Once again he's made a game that is highly detailed and broad of scope. I'm impressed with how much he has created. This new one is much less adult oriented though. Sure, there is the rare flash of nudity/sex for flavor, but it is not really part of the core gameplay. Either people will enjoy it for the fighting, or they won't. But it is not going to be a game to play for the "adult" part.

As I said, the game is elaborate. Fighting, equipment crafting, town build up, town/worker management for materials. Standard RPG setup (with predetermined characters, you are not making up your own).

All in all it is a fairly decent start for a game. Lots to do. And, like Strive, the visuals are top-notch (I'm talking about the look of the GUI: buttons, frames, controls, etc). Unfortunately, also like Strive, the game pops up too many dialogs, has some convoluted navigation at times, doesn't give feedback as to what one is doing wrong, and does not show information in the locations where it is needed. There is also a fairly extreme disconnect in how "game time" is handled. The tutorial could be much improved. Hopefully planned for the future is better battle-time feedback as well as an encyclopedia of monsters (currently one just sees the face icon when fighting and a name... no info on who/what they are, what they can do).

 

[iamnuff]

The new demo is interesting, but it's kinda bugged. Keep hitting parts where buttons don't work, or quests don't end properly, items can't be sold and so on.

Still, it's the very first demo, so it's not surprising.
And yeah, the theme it's going for seems to be more story-based adventure-thing, rather than a slave trainer.
