Week 12 Continued: Gentle

I count 3:6 7 8 in favor of declining.





Gods DAMN IT.




Oh gods, he's still smiling. And it looks so much creepier saying that.


Us too! No need to, you know, resort to regicide or anything silly like that!




On the bright side, now we have some time off to get our head together.

I've also updated the icon list.

[Elephant Parade]

SHUT DOWN!

Also, called it.

[Taricus]

Yeeeess

Visit the dungeons! Ought to get acquainted with the place we'll be seeing most (Odds are there's going to be MORE than a few prisoners once we get the throne )

[Karlito]

Nuts, we still can't get yielding. Better keep playing with toys, I guess.

[Taricus]

...Why do we want people to use us as a mat?!

[birdy51]

Time resume playing with our only friends in the world.

[Aklyon]

We need to get that gem at some point.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Yeah, but to do that we're going to need skills that- i THINK, don't quote me here- are boosted with yielding.

[Karlito]

Yep. We probably should have just been training those skills in the meantime anyway, and had the gem by now, but whatever.

[majikero]

I think you need Presence or Logistics to get into the treasury.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Err... I think they need to be absurdly high, so that would have been a waste compared to doing a negative skill "BECAUSE WE NEED JUST ENOUGH FOR THIS SKILL CHECK."

High Presence and Economics, iirc. but... high. Like, we're going to be unlocking some costumes high.

[Taricus]

Both of those not helped by being shy!

Though we should try taking some swordsmanship classes later. Not only so we can defend ourselves, but we could eventually make ourselves into a darth vader of sorts too

[Creamcorn]

Ye gods I just completely gave up an afternoon to this game. (10% Christmas discount for steam right now)

I'm all for attending court and teaching our little war monger to speak to nobility, courtmanners and such. You honestly can't expect to show up to a neighboring kingdoms land with army in tow without any proper declaration? It's just tacky. You gotta learn how to do things in style! I'm talking wreath of severed diplomats' heads with a properly calligraphic titled letter declaring war!

Anyway good game is good. It's certainly has a niche visual appeal but get beyond that and this game suddenly becomes a complicated strategic game. Every little choice you make always has the opportunity to bite you in the ass. Also skill checks are a bitch.

Spoiler: Minor spoilers (click to show/hide)

Also it's odd to me how the game feels forgoing the magics route. I made it to week 33 and the entire time I kept getting ominous crap like stars, birds, and candles always flickering or shit going weird. Course since the Elodie I had was going for a kind of diplomatic ruler it was always "OH PRETTY!" There's certainly seems like a lot of room for dialogue choices in these kinds of games.

Spoiler: MAJOR SPOILERS, if you have any definition of the word FUN in you and plan on buying this game then ignore this! (click to show/hide)

The highlights/interesting bits of my game: I learned that Charlottes got super magiky heal spell skills so I ignored Julianna completely in favor of getting poisoned so I could focus on peacefully solving the Ixion, Hellas, Maree debacle. I pretty much paid Ixion to fuck off. It wound up costing 4000lassi after an accounting skill check, it's pretty easy to get this outcome, just focus on pressure, yielding or angry moods to get intrigue skills up with a little foreign affairs ala history thrown in. Just be sure to train accounting to a decent point so the Ixion diplomat can't con you outta twice the cost.

Anyway fast forward a bit to the ball and all my internal affairs and court mannerism training paid in pretty much being able to politically control every step I was given. In order to not piss anyone off I chose to dance with the maid. Elodie wound up looking stopid but no one was really mad at the end of day! Well except for damn Kevan.

Yeah turns out not executing the person who attempted to take the life of his sister and ignoring the birthday party of his niece nudged him juuust enough over the cliff to completely gut Elodie at the end of a tournament after refusing a challenge to a duel. Yeah turns out a reflex skill of 11 isn't going pass that skill check.

Tiny Edit, map of Nova, really puts things into perspective!
