Interrogations (Tier request)

There's now a 20% chance a captured NPC comes with a special secret. You can interrogate that *out of* the NPC through kind, persuasive words or through threats with the help of a new Interrogation framework. The result might provide skill boosts or mini quests. The missions and who receives the "Secretive trait" are random.

Enslave mercenaries

The MC can now enslave mercenaries (and some paragons) by convincing them to sign an indentured servanthood contract (Talk>Affect>Enslave). While the roll is extremely difficult to succeed, trying to persuade high-Respect, high-Affection, high-Corruption NPCs when Ikaanos is affected by low Prosperity/Control will turn a lot of factors to your favor.

A mercenary/paragon that enters slavery immediately loses his salary.

Forged documents

With enough influence and contacts, you can now frame a slave for a crime he or she didn't commit, immediately turning them into convicts. Forged documents can be purchased at The Transit Department in The Palace district. Apply a document through Interact > Inventory > Accessories.

Overhauled STAMINA regeneration (NPCs)

Instead of a flat 20 Stamina points, all NPCs now recover 10 Stamina points + 1/3 of their Max Stamina. Felix, for instance, with Stamina 80, will now recover 36 Stam. points (instead of 20).

Tongue piercings and overhauled Inventory buttons (Tier request)

Nika's Clothes now offers tongue piercings. Tongue piercings help propel the MC's "Cum! state", adds Beauty and Charisma mods, helps an NPC to improve her oral experience and may display unique texts during oral sex scenes. - A tongue piercing, along with butt plugs, now have icons in the Inventory pane, with corresponding hover over info.

New workshop and tavern caps

With the upcoming factory/mining frameworks, and due to popular demand, the worker cap for Taverns and Workshops has been decreased to 7, +1 foreman (was 10, +1 foreman). This will allow a fully staffed workshop to occupy one single NPC page. - Workshops that are overstaffed in old saves remain unaffected. - Turn this feature off by setting "oldworkshop = true" in the console or savedditor. That'll allow you to keep the original cap of 10.

Overhauled armor repairs

The armor repair system has been completely reworked. You can now view all owned armors' current state at The Armor Store and repair them with just one click.

The Academy

• [MC] Increased base income for all held lectures with +$50/day.
• [MC] Doubled the "Academy Disposition" bonuses for incomes from held lectures.
• [NPC] Science and Academic professors now have a 10% chance to increase their corresponding skills (cap: 100).

Difficulty changes

• Grimdark: You can no longer assign "away" NPCs (vendor assignments, scavvies, Academy) as Followers between 8 am and 4 pm, thus ending a well-known exploit that allowed you to have sermons and fights all day while still getting cash from Abbot Roo or Nika's. This is also true for Group assignments. You can also not "Clear" an assignment, set the NPC as a follower and then reassign that NPC between those away hours.
• Grimdark: Using a melee weapon in combat now costs 1 Stamina point, both for the MC and NPCs, down to a minimum of 5.

New weapon: Great axe

The Great Axe is a solid durasteel heavy weapon favored by several Aaesir tribes. It's available at Imperial Arms in Em city.

• STRENGTH requirement: 100+.
• Power attack bonus: +15 damage.

New armor: WEGA

The Transit department now sells WEGA armor - a PAC (Russian/Chinese) pre-Severance durasteel suit boosted with an internal healing nanite coat.

• Soak: 43.
• Heals 5 health/turn during combat.

Achievements

There's now a brand new Masters of Raana achievements section in Economy & Influence > Achievements.

New story NPC: Clea Vallas (Av39)

Clea Vallas is a renowned bounty hunter and high-tier warrior NPC with a history and character tied to the current affairs of Ikaanos. This paragon mercenary becomes available after you've decided to help Aria (1) or if you sold Aria (2) to The Mastersphere. Her acquisition quest starts in Redhaven if (1) is true. She's instantly available at The Orient if Aria's rebellion has been permanently thwarted by the MC (2). While Clea is meant to step in at the first half of Aria's quest, her *event* executes immediately on legacy saves that've completed Aria's quest, with some texts rewritten to better fit that part of the timeline.

New building: Mine

The MC can now purchase mining rights at the Town Hall in Hamilton Sq. or conquer mines from powerful warlords. Doing this enables him to build mines and extract valuable metals from mined ore. A mine works similar to Zapin Fields, with an assigned foreman and permanently deployed workers.

You can read more about Mines here.

Prospecting

"Prospecting" is a new profitable job that can be done in prospect-enabled districts if the MC has at least one "Prospecting gear" in his Inventory. Prospecting involves searching through caves for gemstones and panning for gold in mineral rich brooks.

You can read more about Prospecting here.
