Those are getting pretty involved
[...]abusing the town tribute bug[...]
That's a bug?! But it doesn't seem like one at all, the image of a (seemingly) powerless beast posing itself as a dragon impotently yelling at a burg to "gib me yer waman" then leaving empty-handed seems reasonable enough. Sure, it might be able to actually take them by force, but the action of acting as if it couldn't makes it worth the anger. It's a big facre for the dragon to act weak but it has an ulterior motive.
[...]About 1800 gold worth, in fact. You're not raiding the jeweler or noble castles much, I guess? I've since made it so that you can store several of the same 'place' in memory, so you can have a bank of castles to raid if you wish.
I might have been in between two selling spells. I don't sell unless I need to, since the jeweler has so much money that there's no reason to sell to anyone else. I don't avoid castles, actually, I look forward to them since it gets me a noble. I guess as long as you're not running out of money, it's not a concern. I think that the issue here is that since I don't know the value of the treasures I get before I look into them I just don't value them. Sure, the game might tell me I got a pendent, but it's as likely (as far as I know) to be worth 2g as it's to be worth 200g. so I guess I don't really care. Maidens, I know what to do with. satiety, too. Objects? I have so any things to take care of as a dragon that a few objects are only worth what the jeweler says they are worth. pretty draconian, I suppose, but not conducive to caring about loot, I suppose
Why only one? You do have the ability to build more farms. And milk gets better with more pregnancies.
The only value to milk I hold is as an healing agent. The selling price is pretty underwhelming so I didn't think of selling it. Like, sure, I might have 400x 40c milk but that's only 1.6g. Big whoop. I might as well keep it for healing.
However, the issue is probably for the fact that I didn't scour the forum for patches.
Also, are you using the 'drink until healed option'; and possibly also the beta 'drink button' from
here?
I didn't know there was a patch for a "drink until healed" button. But the important question is can you do it for you minions? because I don't really care about using milk since I can pay for it at the witch. My minion, the ones I might want to train, though, I might want to heal.
I recall using fire breath a lot when I was smaller, and also making regular trips to the jeweler. I also tend to have a lair overflowing with cages and maidens, so sacrifices were always in abundance. But I've never got to playing one of the huge+ sizes and their bigger sacrifice requirements.
Oh for sure, I'm still using the dragon breath, but that's just about planning your encounters. The sparks have always been a nice feature that I used from time to time, but it won't come before making sure the demons don't get summoned.
That's very draconic.
A lot of people are kinda attached to the special girls. Hmm, how did you miss Marianne? Or did you just pay her off?
Oh, yeah, her, the king's niece, right? sure I gave her the 100g then realized I got swindled but by that point, I guess, she got me, you know? She gave me a few honeyed word, I was intrigued, I gave her the money and there it was. The poverty, at the time was a pain in the ass, but I can't be mad about being interested in what's going to happen when a princess tries to mount a coup against her father. I guess I'm just a good antagonist in that way.
The cloud castle is much bigger (size 60), totally escape-proof for all but the two flying maiden types, and just cool to live in. Size is the biggest bonus here, since max stamina is a hard cap for expansion. Although I guess if you're not concerned about having dozens of cages, farms and breeding pits, it's not such a big deal.
about the size, I couldn't know before I moved in. And, I know, I could just save before I moved in and undo if I wasn't happy, but, that's not really how I play, I guess. I understand, and do, reloading when a situation gets out of your control, but in a case like this it feels like a choice. Either keep the lair I have or get the new one and get the new thing. It's not like I got flat-footed by an encounter that lasted a long time, or something. I deliberately chose to move. So if it's worst, I feel it's on me. and it's not like it's a gameover. I'll just deal with the cards I was dealt and move on, I think. The point is I didn't feel like moving was worth the risk of getting something worst, and I didn't feel the NEED of moving.
Yeah, but you could, you know, just sell the eggs or give the scalies to Mom. You've got a whole horde of them underfoot.
Yes, I COULD, but the value of the eggs are so low, I might as well keep the offspring. and I have no reason to send them to mom. It's not like the cost me a lot and they do protect from thieves and knights. I always send the weakest minion I have when I have too many. I just haven't had too many in a while.
Kobolds come from those Burghesses you sacrifice and eat all the time.
Nuns, too. And not all lizardmen spawn from nobles. Elves, oni, beastkin, the fire and ice girls... Anyone you can rape without killing them outright can be thrown into a breeding pit and it's pure profit after that. Even 3-4 kobolds give you quite a bit of food once the discount is maxed.
Oh, I suppose that It's true. but it's still such a pain to impregnate a female, then make sure they bring to term without dying. So I just do it for strong offspring. About the sacrifices: pretty sure when you deflower a maiden they lose about half of their sacrificial potential. So If I didn't care about the minuscule value of an offspring, I would rather just sacrifice them as virgins.
Yeah, I'll be fixing that.
Aw, shit. see farther up.
Your pride screen says 'hard battles won: 0'.
Meaning you never fought something that overpowered you 2-1 or worse.
Oh, I've been wary of wasting minions because there's a pride score associeted with it. I'm sure I could have been roaming with weaker minons and taken harder fights but I didn't want to lose them unless I fucked up.
Darkwood is the only place to get demon girls. There are also occasional firelings, rare attack mastery and HP training events on top of what the trainer gives you. And once you get monster lairs unlocked, there are some more unique fights against them.
I believe you but how could I know? I've been going to the darkwood once in a while to gain knowledge but usually it's a waste of time. I have no reason to believe that there's value in going there. Found a few beastkin, fought a few treants. I have other things to do, train jewelmaking, gain a few maidens, fill out my sat score, evolve, find another titaness. Many thing that are at least concrete, if unlikely, goals. going to the darkwood "just because" is very low on my list of priorities.
I think acid is still the rarest element to be resisted, so that niche isn't going away.
As long as it stays as the dedicated "armor piercer" It's fine with me.
Crafting? Collecting treasure together with maidens (villages, lair locations, plus noble maidens from carriages and yachts give some nice trinkets). Raiding the royal palace is probably the best for that.
The way you get Money doesn't matter much because either way if I got 100g one way or another, if I use it on maidens I'm not using it on something else. That means that even if you're getting money by doing things unrelated, it's still an opportunity cost. And 50g is 50g. you were asking me how come I had so little money that might have been answer.
All the lizardman types suck when you have more advanced minions available. But leafzards do magic damage, so are always of some use, and are much more available than Ravagers. And can be sent to the tribe. You also get the super-lizardmen who are probably the third best offensive minion in the game, except against mages and the like.
By the time you can get leafzards (power 5) you can already get the much more abundant and about as useful basilisks. getting alves without just buying them, which is unfeasible early game with their ~100g cost, is only possible reliably by the time you can get drakes. I don't know, maybe my path was easier then most, but I never found a use. by the time I could get them, I could already get drakes or wyverns.
Elves themselves make for passable early-mid-game minions as well, although getting them to accept is a lot of trouble.
But it's so much work for so little reward!
Again, by the time you can even find them, reliably, you have no need for them.
There are? Discard the .rpyc files, these are compiled versions. Of the other two, one is in the 'game/tl' folder, which is the translation. So new files almost always go into 'game/_script' or 'game/_story'. If I have something bigger than just 1-3 files, I'll make a proper patch.
Well, maybe 4 time was an exaggeration, but 2 times per is pretty standard. and by that point, when you're not sure how the game works, just having some readme would be grand.
