The developer's wife is trying to figure it out for years now, with very little success.

On a more serious note: as you have probably noticed, my taste in girls is all over the place. Old and young, petite and thicc, pale skinned, dark skinned, green skinned, tall and short etc. I get it that you are a gentleman who prefer European looking blondes (Eviette, Domia, Marny) but for some weird reason I did not manage to have a blonde Wench yet: in order of releases, Sumia has a dark skin, Dian is based on a... popular model who people expect to have dark hair, the model Black Alana is based upon does not take blonde hair and a blonde orc queen? Nope. In hindsight, Angilia, Nahir and Teniya may probably look just as pretty as blondes but I was not aware I was entering a non-blonde tunnel at the time of their release.

So, the fates have conspired against blonde Wenches in my game, but I hope to get one for Karder eventually.
Thank you for this open answer, but I feel that I was misunderstood.
Wile I will not denay your statements about my tastes, I would point out that I have nothing against raven-haired asian or firebrand exotic, nor any dark-skinned beauties. My point IS, that mentioned previously, by me, female characters are aesthetically pleasant to an eye and, being scantily-clad in revealing dresses, quite arousing to the body. Unlike outright ugly ork chieftains in recent update, or completely plain looking elve queen and red-haired desert young queen, allonge, with, almost, deformed dark-skinned queen (tho minor female character, in that kingdom infiltration, was rather charming, not to mention that she got impregnated by MC)...
What I was talking about is that, catering to many taste, good and all, but you DO have skills to make characters looks beautiful, despite their body types or hair-color and race, yet you, for some reason, leave beautiful characters on minor roles.
And the further I was playing in your game, the more I started to notice that I keep playing it only for all this minor characters and theirs small subplots. It is so sad that they have so little spotlight and screen time...
Ahhh, the dream of gathering all this this minor female characters under MC wing, elevating them to actual advisors and harem girls, and leave all this plain and ugly Wakabian "queens" in dungeon...

If you'll go over my replies in this thread (and elsewhere in the site) you'll see that I'm not prone to flame wars and this is not going to turn into one. I honestly believe that people are entitled to their own opinions.

I also have the attention span of a kitten.

One this I want to make very clear: I am a kick ass writer and I know how to build erotic tension like few other developers. I'm also somewhat competent 3d artist and I'm almost proud of the latest animations I created, at least in 0.9. But I don't create any of the girls, they are 99% off the shelf models.

The reason why I don't create my own models is practical: the people who create the models do this for a living. They are professionals. Trying to beat them at their own game would be an amazing waste of time IMHO. So my model related skills are mostly selecting the right models and using them, I rarely create my own. Naruz-The-wind wind, by the way, is a rare exception: I spent more than an hour to shape her until I was happy with the results. But the rest are more or less off the shelf models. And they are amazing, in my opinion, because they were created by professionals.

There is, however, a sentiment in your post that I can relate to, and that to an extent the ruling Wenches are somewhat lesser fleshed out than some quest girls and that's why I add the "Act 2"s, to help the players see the Wenches as more than just babes with tits crowns. Yet, from storytelling perspective, I still feel there's work to do for making the Wenches characters the players care about more.

I said it in a joking manner, but I wasn’t kidding, you know?—I’d actually be interested in hearing if you had any tips for an aspiring smut writer.
I've been writing porn since 1998, so it's probably part of the magic ;)

1. This post summarizes what I know about creating erotic content.
2. I treat writing porn seriously, I don't perceive it as an inferior media compared to mainstream literature.
3. I don't write stories about sex, I write stories about people having sex. If the characters are believable, there's a tiny part in the readers' brain which believes they are real, making the sex more enjoyable.

And now, so this post is not deemed off topic, I'll briefly show how the bullets above are represented in the game.

1. In my post, I write that the three pillars of erotica are the Gap between the characters, the Technical aspects and the Fetish. Much of the meta game (world conquest) is about closing the gap, or unavailability, between Karder and ruling wenches. There's also the gap between Karder and quest girls, where you can't have them at the beginning of the quest but as the quest progresses, the gap closes gradually until Karder can have sex with them. The Technical aspect is me trying to get the girls, scenes and animations as appealing as possible and Fetish is very strong in the game as well for those who enjoy its fetishes. For example, for players who are thrilled by impregnation, having Karder breed almost every girl he comes across intensifies the pleasure derived from the scene.

2. By writing seriously I mean that I try to understand the characters and their motivations, I don't just put them in Karder's way waiting to be fucked. Ilga The Ram has a real motive behind betraying her queen, and it took me some time to figure it out. Same goes for the whole social structure of the orcish society: I didn't just want to make them big and dumb but not spiritual shamans a-la Blizzard. They are still bloodthirsty and brutal as expected from orcs but their structure allowed me to explain why they don't actually fuck the human hotties, which would have made my work in the quests awkward and messy. Same goes for developing a pantheon and history for an imaginary world: by taking world building seriously, I add addtional depth to the motives and decisions of the characters in the game.

3. The characters in my stories (and this game) has their own motives, based on their history. When Zhilly the hobbit girl asks Karder to train her to fight since she doesn't wish to be a baker, it sets the stage to the following scenes, making her believable. From time to time I try to have characters behave in a somewhat unexpected manner, like Marny who doesn't want to be "freed" since she loves her life as a Sigritzar Orkensau. This trick is a bit risky because if it fails, a character might be worse off than having no backstory at all, so I try to scrutinize such twists but the end result, I believe, it usually worth it.

Hope this helps.

Is the rape here like JAVs (initially resisting but then enjoying - like slow corruption) or is it brutal/real (gals crying and hating you)? Also, can I get the dungeon scenes without going the male dom route (I love consensual submission)

BTW, the renders look fkin amazing

There is almost no consensual submission in the game, sorry.

EXTRACT from walk through ,,, 0.3
will not be able to revisit Fahda later and offer her the position of governor of Marbia (introduced in update 0.4).

There is no option to appoint governor in 0.4 or go back to Marbia

how do you get this triggered ?

Here is the code for triggering Fahda's Act 2:

Code:
fahdaRevisitFlag == False and territoryList[2].miniQuestFinishTurn + 20 <= turnCount and domiaEvening3GrudgeAlamRape == False and domiaKilled == False and ziruanRapedFahdaFlag == False and territoryList[2].miniQuestDone
In other words:
1. You didn't play Fahda's Act 2 already
2. At least 20 turns after finishing the Marbia (Ziruan oasis) quest
3. Didn't rape Alam or Fahda
4. Didn't kill Domia

I'm waiting for NSFWNits to finish the new music tracks for the royal family, so I'm using the time to retcon details on Karder's father (the late Khan), fleshing the meta story some more. I hope to release version 0.9.6 to the public in 12-16 hours from now.
Thanks for the details and good luck.
And to be super clear, my comment was only in the spirit of lightening the mood :)

Yay.

Going by the lower amount of images this update, 295, having visiting past characters would leave little to no images for a new Fiefdom quest line, so I'm guessing no new Fiefdom to conquer this update. :cry:

At least I did see a picture of pregnant Alam on your patreon. :love:

Actually, the final release will have 422 images/vids, not 295. And yes, it will focus on existing characters, with only one new character introduced.

Even better.
[grabbed image count from your older May 18th patreon post, glad more work was put in since]

You know, thinking about the warfare side of the game, it is indeed very difficult to get through large sea/ocean into another continent, far far more so bringing in an army.
Specially if the continent's fiefdoms had some sort of alliance. Let alone talking about logistics like food, water, shelter, etc.
[thinking smuggling in food prior, or just creating stockpiles of food inside area before even attacking, choosing best beachhead, etc.]

Attacking a single area/'fiefdom' would alert the other fiefdoms and get them to mobilize a defense and/or attack force.

Even if you can sneak the MC into the area, can't do much by himself, he may be able to get a leader of a fiefdom to join his cause before MC commits an attack fleet. [perhaps a fiefdom that has been overly taxed and/or opressed by a larger fiefdom].

Been a long while since I played, so I don't remember if MC described a rough plan or two. Can't really sneak into the area?
[plus if anything goes wrong, MC would be all alone without an army... lets face it, he will bang a few people and get help :sneaky:]
