Version 0.8.3.3

Released: June XX, 2024.

Gameplay changes

• [Game Engine] Increased available save slots from 8 to 12.
• [Locations] Going to The Mastersphere (first class) now increases Palace Rating with 100 points.
• [Sex Engine] Critical rolls during vaginal sex (doggy/missionary) now increase the MC's Copulation skill up to a maximum of 100.
• [NPC] The toggle armor/clothing button is now *personal* for each NPC instead of having one global on/off state.
• [NPC] It is now much harder to use the Acrobatics homeschooling sessions for increasing DEXTERITY.
• [NPC] Ansel will no longer ~~steal from you~~ supply himself with basic necessities if his Respect is 20+.
• [NPC] Tweaked The Black Scorpion enemy capture NPC to be a little less powerful.
• [NPC] Scavengers that are convicts or slaves and have an Affection that is Despising or worse, now receive a significant yield penalty (more or less useless unless they have scavvie trait).
• [NPC] Added new trait: Unbreakable.
• [NPC] NPCs with the Herculean body type (males only) now require Hearty food settings in order to avoid Happiness and Affection drops.
• [NPC] There is now a -15 penalty to your household's Herald Skill if the Herald is either a convict or a slave.
• [NPC] Janitors that are convicts or slaves and have an Affection that is Despising or worse, or if they are Angry, will now be very bad at performing repair work.
• [NPC ] Slaves/convicts that are assigned as Janitors, with WILLPOWER 10+ will now try to sabotage your household if they are Abhorred- or Angry.
• [HOUSEHOLD] Added Discipline update scripts for external workshops.
• [ECONOMY] You can now sell HULC armors (NPC) to private mercenaries through Redhaven Market contacts. The price scales with the same "remaining HULC armors" variable used at the transit department. Selling a HULC armor will not increase that value, however. This means that looting HULC parts and building a complete set in the late game can be a very rewarding crafting mission.
• [ECONOMY] All armor SELL values are increased if City Control drops below 10 (market demand effect).

Random NPCs

• Added 5 new random male enemy sets (Av312-Av316).
• Added 2 new scripted male enemy/ally set (Av357, Av358).
• Added 25 male and 5 female names.
• Added 5 new last names.
• Added 400 words of random dialogue.

Political events and factions

• Six new main Political events have been added, dealing with rebel and (2nd) republic doings. Some of these master events can split into other outcomes, which gives a total of 12 different flavor events.
• The Republic now gains a daily tax based on random factors, Control and Prosperity.
• Updated Earth's and Raana's timelines with more info and additional events.

Jail cell overhaul

• Both jail cell upgrades now provide the same WILLPOWER-lowering effects (20% daily chance).
• The upgraded jail cell will only lower Affection down to Despising (19) instead of Abhorred (9).
• Paragons and ex-paragons have a 10% daily chance of decreasing their WILLPOWER compared other NPCs (20%).
• Slave masters/mistresses now affect imprisoned NPCs if that NPC is assigned to them.
• Tormentor effect: Slave masters/mistresses now have a daily 15% chance of lowering assigned, imprisoned NPCs' WILLPOWER (down to a minimum of 4) if the slave master doesn't have the Pure trait and has a Kindness below 50. A Kindness below 25 increases the Tormentor effect to 25%.

New Story NPC: Valerie Borsow

Valerie Borsow is now available at Furry's Tavern, if you spend a number of nights listening to rumors and socialize with old friends. She comes with a small/medium quest (Amiable+ > Ask about background) that's similar to the Cyber Cannon riddle - no handholding but with big rewards.

Combat overhaul

• Nervous states: NPCs and enemies with WILLPOWER below 5 (25 on Grimdark difficulty) now have a 10% risk of becoming nervous in combat (-50 chance for one round) *if* both their Ranged and Melee skills are below 80.
• Natural marksman: To compensate the growing power of melee combat, the ranged combat skill now scales exactly like STR damage bonus. This scaling begins at *Ranged combat 50+* and is potentially endless. A ranged skill of 120 should provide around 7 extra damage.
• Decreased the maximum damage yield from power strikes (melee combat). Median damage from PS should now be roughly 4-5 points less.
• NPCs with Discipline 24 or less now receive a -10 chance penalty in combat.

New random captives system

Kymanto now offers drunkards, brawlers, unlucky fortune seekers and other rabble to all their licensed slavers. This is a rather new system that'll be further enhanced in later versions. For this release (0833), we have a semi-scripted randie called Aaron, who also introduces a completely new trait (Berserker).

Follower groups

You can now assign up to six different follower groups and switch between each group with just one click. All *current* followers are automatically reassigned to old jobs when dismissed. Switching groups can be performed at home or when in Redhaven unless you build the Stables (horse lvl. 2+).

• Replaced or added many interior/exterior scenes (taverns, arena, bathrooms etc).
• Added 4 new harness + collar/chain wardrobe pics for Adrienne and Laika (Tier request).
• Replaced 6 Aria sex scenes.
