Mod Ren'Py Abandoned Time For Dragons - Defiler Wings: Deranged Dragon Mod [29-07-2020] [Jman]

[PariahLies]

Yeah I don't really see it working out that well either.

As for the images, I can imagine you'd be hard-pressed to find ones that pertain to short women without them being gremlins/goblins/[insert-non-dwarf-but-short-thing-here] or go into the realm of rule 7 iffyness, but perhaps it's doable.

As for the red change, I like profile pics that are thematically appropriate to the site they're on, and purple didn't feel like it was gelling very well with f95's red and various dark shades.

Edit: Turns out finding dwarf pics is actually kinda easy. Whether or not you're going to find enough that are fitting to this game seems to be another story entirely.

 

[Jman9]

There's no shortage of, er, 'shortstacks', but not many of them are dwarves and pretty much anything that features a dragon either has a shortstack dragon, or a really weird combo.

The one picture I could find of an actual dwarf and a dragon having sex had the male dwarf as the dominant side. I don't think we want to go there...

Edit: We're in a Ren'py thread, and Ren'py is purple, so...

Sleeping in dragonia could also have each day start with mama nagging you to keep moving and find more girls if the cages are near empty, more coins if the coffers are low, and to mama any amount is always low.

A counter in the pride/shame system that tells you how many of your offspring you have in the army would be great, mostly to help with remembering how many are left to go for that 1000 offspring in the army quest.

Some population statistics on the army would also be great, to help players in the diversification of the army.

Final thing considering the army. How many minions do you need to give before the power stat moves? You'd think a couple of hundred minions consisting of ravagers, lizardmen, and frostpaws, leafzard, and succubi would at least move it up to 1 or something. Even got a demonspawn or two in there if I remember correctly.

 

[Jman9]

The power thing is a bug, your army is treated as if it had already suffered one round of casualties in the Final Battle. Console 'army.power -= 1' to get the proper count. This also shows you how bad the fighting can be, if your current efforts won't even make a dent in the casualties.

Otherwise, good idea, I'll add population numbers to the overview screen, including 'bred troops' totals.

Edit: BTW, if you haven't noticed yet, you get some serious discounts for having lots of self-bred offspring in the Army.

 

[PariahLies]

Odd, the power thing. Lorewise it makes sense though, seeing as the army was in fact beaten back and suffered casualties.

Those discounts might prove useful if I wasn't so pedantic about everything in the lair either being a captive or a self-bred, apart from the single unit of gremlins.

 

[Jman9]

The power bug came about because I changed how casualties are handled, but forgot to update the initial value. If I wanted to simulate a beaten army, you'd probably have some initial recruits. But right now, it's assumed that the Lady might have some personal bodyguards, but the rest are either scattered or in hiding and the Army of Darkness as such needs to be rebuilt from scratch.

And you can always breed more offspring to spread around. Spread the love, so to speak...

What's good within edge of darkwood and is it worth exploring?

 

[zzczys]

Gives you a place to spend the knowledge for better darkwood events, and find the lairs of the darkwood bosses

The hardest to find lair boss will lead to a new shop or new captive.

 

[Jman9]

What you get from Edge of Darkwood: higher chances to get better outcomes from Darkwood events (including rare captives and permanent stat increases) and boss fights (for treasure, XP and bragging rights; in the future there will be stat increases as well).

new captive.

What zzczys doesn't mention that this is the captive, a special, pimped-out angel girl. The other rewards (including the shop) are probably better, though.

 

[zzczys]

Doh I purposefully dont mention so that them players will go and try it...

 

[PariahLies]

Hot damn. I thought the army's power would be between 1 and 10 or something. The thing shot straight up to 3120.

One question. Do the different variations of girl types for the same species count(peasant, nun. nobel, etc) for the quest where you have to have a virgin captive of each race? Because I'm pretty certain I have everything(human, mermaid, alv, beastkin, oni, fireling, ice maiden, demon, angel), unless there is one I'm unaware of(probably a more goddess-like one if the hints in that file were anything to go by, in which finding that damn sky fortress has shifted higher in priority).

 

[zzczys]

Homoculus also counts, get one from the witch.

 

[Ambjorn187]

One question. Do the different variations of girl types for the same species count(peasant, nun. nobel, etc) for the quest where you have to have a virgin captive of each race?

Yes four types of humans ,peasant, burghess, nun, and (noble/princess/duchess) those 3 are the same.
also Homunculus as zzczys metioned.

Alven queen, Novice and acolyte are all alvas.

I have a post somewhere that explains girl types in more detail than you'd ever care to know.

Army power is measured in, well, 'goblins'. You need something like 50k to begin the Final Battle, and 100k to do reasonably well and not rely on your dragon most of the time. The 'super army' quest needs 200k.

Of course, that doesn't mean you have to have 50k goblins in your army (although you can, of course). Fiddling with equipment and army composition can boost this by a factor of eight or so, and the intended target for a relatively powerful army is about 1000 grunts, 1000 servants, 250 beasties and 100 elite monsters.

 

[PariahLies]

Can't believe I forgot about homunculi, thanks. Anyway it seems like I'm in for the long haul, at least where the army is concerned.

 

[zzczys]

Army equipment needs increases as more minions arrive so dont forget to send more coins too while sending in minions.

 

[PariahLies]

On that note, the quest that has you gather 200000 gold coins is a tad insane, since there's nothing in the game that's worth you actually having, let alone spending such amounts of coin in the first place, but considering most if not all of that is gonna go to the army anyway and that the aformentioned amount is probably chump change when it comes to equipping a large enough army with good enough equipment I suppose it's a moot point.

Part of me wonders though if we're going to get an inventory system that allows the dragon to equip armour or make use of magical artifacts that boost various abilities, resistances, etc, but then I think of a dragon's pride getting in the way of that and it is probably thinking that wearing armour or using suplementary equipment is an admittance to it not being good/strong enough to beat its enemies, but then again going after strong animals to eat and using the witch's rituals to improve oneself in preparation for a battle or an upcoming threat falls under the same category so I don't really know how under what category of acceptance I'd file a dragon wearing armour or using magical artifacts/bling.
