Yes some lairs have pre built things, so be careful not to demolish them if you cant build them yet.

Yes.
I inherited this whole Darkwood/Darkshire mess from Eliont but you're right, one Phoenix would be better. Mechanically, there's not much of a difference since the critter auto-retaliates anyway. I'll make it a five-in-one Phoenix. Maybe you want even a 10 or 20 times more powerful Phoenix?
Note that Darkwood enemies have special abilities that can do additional damage or even stun (and in the worst case, stunlock
) you. So judging them by the standards of a 'regular' fight is not very wise.Edit: I think I'll experimentally toughen up the Darkwood encounters, so the lions and antelopes level up to thrice their original stats and the Phoenix goes up to 20x. Should be a proper challenge now.
He will also lose his vulnerability to fear, IDK what was up with that. I'm not sure the other creatures would also need to be fear immune, so I'll hold off on changing them at the moment.There's a limit on how many 'free-range' captives you can have, which is the same as lair size (max number of rooms). But if you're not being shown any of the "Take her to the Lair" options, then you're probably indeed too weak to actually drag the girl back.
True.
Will get fixed.I take it you're not using the quickfix for 'change_affection'?
That's why lustful girls make good captives.
I'll be removing this for non-'lust' captives.
Why no torture? Torture is exactly what's meant to wear them down without killing because your dragon was too horny to care.

Simply having the phoenix be a 5 in 1 would be sufficient I think, on easy, maybe 10 for normal, and +5 phoenixes in one per difficulty if possible would be a nice curve. I do like the other bosses being bumped though, as they felt a little weak, but this might mean that their loot would maybe need a slight bump too.

It's possible. But enemies already scale with difficulty, and while nominally an 'impossible' enemy is 2.(6) 'easy' enemies, I think in reality they are already something like 5 times tougher. I'm not sure about throwing a 10 000 HP Phoenix at the players, but let's see what others think.
You mean you would like them to be harder? Or that they are harder now? What exactly are we comparing here and on what difficulty?
Loot and the whole money economy is already kinda independent of battle difficulty. I don't know that anything feels thematically too weak, even if the fight is comparatively tough (because these are relatively poor enemies, or because you gave them time to prepare, or surprised them due to low mobilization, etc).
Will you change a 4 to a 3? Or a 9 to an 8?True.
Oh, maybe a <= into a <

Because the direct torture option do more(?) damage than rape.

And choosing to play with > torture costs a lust
and if she can't take a rape you can probably only do one or two options per session.
That feels like a big waste of lust.

This.
Well, you'll still have torture for the same exact purpose.
They do? I just tested a size 10 dragon with 100 fear and torture did roughly 8 damage, while rape was about 20-25. You are using the quickfix, right?
And a medium-sized fear 10 dragon did about 7 damage in either case. Going for 'play' then 'fear' did very little damage, like maybe 1-2.
The thing that kills them is high fear, which is more heavily multiplied by there being four checks rather than a four times higher value that the fear is added to.
I don't usually use all my lust every sleep cycle. And unless the girl is 'proud', you can just imprison her and do one session of torture when she hits 49 affection.
No, I'm using my own mod.
I have kept my fear relatively low, so that wasn't really noticed.
I also didn't read the code that carefully, sorry.
I don't use all my stamina per cycle, I sleep to recover lust, and only use enough stamina so I recover it when I sleep.
My Lair is an industrial milk and egg farm.
There are 2 types of torture, sex scene torture and lair torture, maybe should differentiate between the both?

In that case your troubles are (slightly) self-inflicted. Captives take excessive damage and then the Hand of God saves them from death.
Low fear shouldn't really kill your girls that badly. In any case, that's the (unfortunately current) yesterday of the mod, so I'm not making any more changes until people get the opportunity to test the changed affection function themselves.
Sleeping for shorter periods can be slightly inefficient on a day/stamina basis. And where do you get all your girls if you spend all the time fucking around? Regular customer at Hakim's?
Lust is also an 'infinite' resource once you get access to the Flying Island.
Direct torture is roughly equivalent to physical torture (claws, fangs etc). I guess I'll make it identical, even.
It doesn't, It's really just those nobles that started dying.
I mostly just mentioned that to point out that with low fear the difference between torture and rape in damage is miniscule.
But it is more efficient in hatchery usage as I wake up to refill them.
Reuse. I have as many milk farms as max lust, just make sure the girls close to "deliver" are in them before sleeping.And where do you get all your girls if you spend all the time fucking around? Regular customer at Hakim's?
1000 minions in the army don't care about quality.
Should probably hurry up and find it then.

That's true. My point was that with the 'change_affection' modification, the similarity is that neither outright kills anyone. The latter only happens with frail princesses and humongous dragons.
You make it sound like your dragon works at the 'milk&egg farm'.
I'm getting mental images of ties and tailoring for the, erm, tail... That's a pretty endgame thing, though.

I'd like the lion to be a bit harder at least. I kinda steamrolled it on normal, and at the time I remember I wouldn't dare to storm the city gate. A reward other than loot would also better incentivize using several cycles worth of darkwood exploration to go after the bosses, perhaps something like a permanent stat increase as is the theme of a few other rare darkwood events?

Well, I could add an HP increase to the Lion, attack mastery increase to the Antelope, and both to the Phoenix, still subject to the maximum limits you can get from the Darkwood.
Edit: I can also increase the temporary boosts from winning the fight, to something like 10-90 attack, 3-20 stamina, 500-2500 HP, depending on what lantern cycle you're on.
I don't really want to buff the Lion too much, though. When you go against the city gates, you're allowed to take your homunculi or other hard-hitting minions. The Lion is one-on-one, and can stun you as well.
Edit2: Maybe just making it always at least 3 Lions and 3 Antelopes would work.
Edit3: I think I'll make the benefits from non-darkwood beast meat scale a bit with dragon size, double the benefits (and cost) of Witch rituals, and increase satiety from 'magic meat' to 50/100 (not sure about costs here).

I downloaded from the op.
It isnt my fault if no one included these "fixes" in the last few months into that.
Or do you think new people will actually go through x pages searching for all the "fixes"?
