Market overhaul

• You can no longer buy wood, fasteners, steel and durasteel if the purchase button exceeds current Market Supply.
• Market cap for wood, fasteners and steel will now regenerate faster if it's below 1,200.

Overhauled NPC interaction pane

Due to CSS incompatibility in various browsers and overlay issues within the interact text pane, spells and the load counter have been moved to the interaction pane. There's also a new, dynamic arousal meter.

Overhauled busy checker engine and day-off script

The scripts checking if an NPC is busy or not were spread out over several different passages, causing many inconsistencies that became even more noticeable with the introduction of the threesome engine.

There's now a universal busy script that should make this more streamlined.

This includes fixing the broken day-off script. An NPC that has the day off will now be locked until *after* waking up the next day. There's also a bunch of new features, clarifications and prerequisites:

• You can only give an NPC the day off before 10 am.
• NPCs will no longer produce salaries from jobs or receive gains from The Academy. Incomes are properly updated in the Economy pane.
• You cannot give the day off to an assigned Follower.
• NPCs that have the day off can no longer be assigned as Followers and will not be included in Follower group assignments. They can also no longer be included in Prostitution rings.
• NPCs that have the day off will remain in his/her assigned room and not participate in lectures or other curricular activities.
• Effects from "Taking the day off" have been slightly increased.

Political events

• Added one new generic political event with four different event texts.
• Added one political event related to The Secret Garden Bookstore, with four different event texts.

Increased NPC cap and The Annex

NPC cap has been increased from 96 to 128.

After upgrading your dorms, you'll get access to a new building type called "Annex". The Annex can be placed anywhere inside your yard and features four different building appearances based on where you construct it.

The Annex opens up a new sleeping accommodation that provides various effects to the NPCs placed in that building, based primarily on upgrades.

You can only construct one annex (for now) and the building cannot be demolished.

Housemaid overhaul

• New clothing added: Maid dress. This attire can be bought at Nika's for $495.
• Added 'Maid dress' to story NPC archives (~25 renders).
• Doubled Influence bonus and chance of increasing the Domestic skill for assigned maids with equipped maid dresses (+4 influence / 30%).
• Assigned maids now have a 10% daily chance (20% with maid dress) to increase Discipline (cap: 60).
• An assigned maid has a 15% daily chance of decreasing her Sloppy trait (upcoming feature).

Head maid title

The head maid title is now only available for *assigned* house maids. Giving a House maid the title of "Head Maid" makes her the chief/boss of all other maids.

• Head maids now only affect *other* maids and slaves (not servants).
• Head maids will no longer automatically affect WILLPOWER.
• Malevolent or unkind (24 or less) Head maids will slowly (15% chance per day) lower other maids' WILLPOWER down to 0, if those maids' WILLPOWER is *lower* than the Head Maid's.
• Pure or Kind (60+) Head maids will slowly (15% chance per day) increase other maids' WILLPOWER up to her own WILLPOWER.
• Head maids can now increase other maids' Discipline up to her own Discipline (15% chance per day).

New profession: Footman

A male version of maid has been added (Footman). These manservants are very similar to maids in terms of effects (see above).

New title: Butler

A male version of head maid with similar effects. Only affects male footmen. Automatically provides the "good start" ability to the MC if Affection is Amiable+ and INT is 60+.

New clothing: Footman's suit (males)

Works similar to the maid dress with increased influence and skill chance gains.

Maid/footmen requirement

The upper classes of Ikaanos are defined by their servants. Having a team of cleaners, valets and waitresses are crucial when it comes to maintaining your status as a influential citizen of the republic. There's now a new framework that takes this very important lore factor into account.

Once you hit 25,000+ Influence, other noble citizens will start judging you based on how many servants you can muster. Is your burgeoning household a tidy palace where a visitor can expect a valet will take his coat and pour him a glass of whiskey? Or is it a messy sod-house filled with gunpowder-smelling warriors, "bros" and floor crawlers?

Based on your influence, there's now a "Maid/butler requirement" to uphold this status. If you fail to maintain this *level of service*, you'll suffer a daily Influence loss. The requirement is dynamic: more influence means a higher number of required servants (max: 10) and harder penalties (max -1,000 influence per day). If you can only partly fill this requirement, the influence loss will also be less severe.

Overhauled Morning Blowjobs

You can now assign any willing girl to perform MBJs. One of those girls will then be randomly assigned to that duty at each new morning, with an increased (50%) chance to appear if:

• They sleep in the MC's bed.
• They sleep on the MC's floor.
• They have Corruption 90+ (stacks with sleep assignment).

All old morning blowjob assignments are terminated upon loading 084. You have to re-add the girl/girls you want to perform this sacred duty through NPC Menu > Houserules.

Hovering over Morning Blowjob also displays currently assigned NPCs.

Threesomes

The 0.8.4 update introduces a completely new sex framework that allows you to indulge in threesomes with any combination of (allowed) girls.

Initiate a threesome through an NPC's Sexual options > Threesome. This will bring you to a menu that displays all other female NPCs that are willing enough to participate.

Threesome thresholds

• An NPC's willingness to participate depends on many different factors; Corruption, WILLPOWER and Lesbian devotion being the greatest ones. A Corruption that is 60+ or a WILLPOWER below 5 are almost a 100% guarantee, even if some factors might be strong enough to sway her to refuse.
• An NPC's Affection toward you provides a +20 chance if it's Loving+, while Unfriendly and lower impose penalties (up to -50).
• The Perverted trait adds a +20 chance.
• Various scripted lesbians, such as Adrienne and Michelle, have automatic bonuses in the +40-60 range.

Threesome content

• The engine contains about 16,000 words (descriptions and dialogues).
• Each completed combination of girls has 13-15 unique renders.
• The threesome engine doesn't have a cancellation script but unaroused participants will drain Stamina more quickly. If Stamina drops below 5 for any participant, the session is immediately terminated.
• Participating females may continue with lesbian actions if the MC has cummed. All actions in the engine are pulled through the TimeEffect passage, which means the MC can regain Libido and throw himself into the fun again after some time has passed.
• The following actions are included in the 0.8.4 release: Kissing (FF), Licking (FF), Licking doggy sex (FFM), Licking anal sex (FFM), Cum doggy sex, Cum anal sex, Cum mouth, Cum swap, Double blowjob (FFM).
• Future MoR updates will see additional sex combinations added.

Threesome effects

Even if the MC doesn't have 100% control in many situations during threesomes, it's still a great way to increase the Perverted and Submissive traits and affect Lesbian Devotion. It also has a small chance of increasing participating females' Oral skill, even if they're performing oral sex on each other.

• All cum actions are accounted into the normal sex statistics. Swallowed semen is also calculated accordingly, even when girls are sharing your load during cum-swap events.

Unique combinations

While any allowed combination of girls is possible, the threesome engine is best experienced if you select one of these combinations (in any order):

• Lovisa/Loren.
• Adrienne/Michelle.
• Lovisa/Dakota.

Future MoR updates will see additional render combinations added.

Faction changes/new features

• Fort Hamilton (The Republic) will now accept soldiers from Fort Sera if the republic has less than 10,000 men, and the MC's Power is 25+ or if his Influence is 15,000+ - regardless if Aria is Chancellor or not.
• If The Republic is at war (Confederation, Red Tide, Dengi Invasion) or if Aria is Chancellor, you can now donate money at Town Hall to build powerful regiments of up to 1,000 men. Doing this will give you big Standing and Influence boosts as well as permanently increase your Power Value. You can only sponsor the republic this way up to a maximum of 15,000 men and you also need a Power Value that's 25+ or 15,000+ Influence.
• Both the Second and Third Republic will now purchase soldiers (between 25-100/day, 25% chance) if their soldier count is below 10,000 and if they have enough cash ($100k+). A purchase costs between $6,000-$10,000 and will deplete the republic's funds accordingly.
