Released: Tier4+ Alpha ETA is first half of April, 2026

Gameplay changes

• [NPC] High Nobility NPCs will now also accept Teacher assignments at Whitehaven Academy without losing Affection.
• [NPC] Increased the STAMINA cap for NPCs to 130 (was, unintentionally, 120).
• [NPC] Increased the STAMINA cap for "The Swallow" trait to 150 (was, unintentionally, 130).
• [UI] Added a Health and Stamina tooltip to the Follower pane (hover over Follower name).
• [UI] Replaced the News and Mail icons (Home pane).
• [COMBAT/NPC] There's now a 25% risk a pregnant Follower will suffer a miscarriage if she's critically injured in combat.

Aesir faction

• You can now gain (and lose) a total of six points when doing Feasts at Odensborg, depending on whether it's a successful or failed (wild) feast.
• Added a new political event for The Aesirs.

Guard patrols

The MC can now assign or remove guards from patrol duty in the Redhaven neighborhood through the new Manage Yard > Guard Tower > Patrols setting.

Active patrols have a chance to increase City Control up to a maximum of 50, based on the current Guard Strength. Active patrols impose a -25% Guard Power penalty, however, which applies to raider attacks and escape attempts.

A successful Control increase event also has a 2% chance to boost Republic Standing (cap: 10).

New trait: Hate

All NPCs can now accumulate a Hate Trait Value if the MC treats them horribly or uses various vile actions that go against their character.

The Hate Trait Value has a chance to increase:

• If finishing sex or engaging in Training room actions with arousal -10 or less and if Affection is Unfriendly or lower and if Corruption is below 70.
• If assigning low-Affection and low-Corruption NPC as FCs or Bed Partners.

An active Hate Trait will greatly decrease Affection and increase Anger, based on the current Hate Trait Value.

The Hate Trait Value has a base 5% chance of decreasing with one point per day. The Hate Trait Value decrease chance is further increased by low WILLPOWER and the Submissive Trait.

Overhauled sex frameworks

Overhauled orgasm engine

A universal orgasm engine has been implemented with more solid scripts, dynamic Corruption increase setters and randomized texts. The engine also handles orgasm denial/edging (see below).

Various tweaks/fixes

• Training room throat cum actions will now properly increase Deepthroat skill instead of the Oral skill.

Overhauled LOG

A new NPC LOG framework has been introduced.

• NPC progression is now saved in the LOG even if you Conclude Day after midnight.
• Expanded Gatherer report that tracks hunting location and ammunition use.
• You can now access your LOG and Gatherer report from the Home pane at any time. It will automatically update if you pass the midnight checker.
• You can now access an NPC's individual LOG when interacting with him or her. This log only tracks the NPC's progression.
• You can also track an Educator's, Guard Captain's or Head Maid's subordinates and check their affected stats (Educator/Guard Captain/Head Maid > Interaction > Subordinates icon).
