nothing I do can increase it, and she's just allways escaping even if I put the magical shackles on her that should make it impossible

SCRIPT ERROR: make_quest: Invalid get index 'code' (on base: 'Nil').

   At: res://src/core/world_gen.gd:466.

Also the Fighters Guild still fails to generate Hard quests sometimes.

SCRIPT ERROR: make_quest_for_guild: Invalid set index 'source' (on base: 'Nil') with value of type 'String'.

But since a recent update, this no longer works. There is no option to Recruit -> Enslave, they just become Subordinates. And you have made it so that we cannot use Subordinates to increase Factors. This is a lot less fun. Especially since I'm the Mayor now, I should have the power to make someone into a Slave, or at least some sort of black market option. 

Suggestions:

- Make it possible to turn a Subordinate into a Slave, either through spending Guild points, or with a black market slaver ring, or something.

- Make it possible to use Subordinates for Factor increase again. Removing this is not fun.

- Make it possible again to Enslave people you recruit with Charm. Removing this is also not fun.

I enjoy this game a lot, but these updates seem to have no benefit other than to make the game less fun. I hope there will be solutions in the future.  

Thank you for making this game!

Anyway, I just want to suggest a way to 'Get rid of it'. Selling it could be an option but with the guild quests, I an swiming in gold.

I got some ideas if you like....

Some sort of 'benefical quest'... like the one at the church but reqiring large quantities... (The reward could be weapons with upgrades)

Maybe an donation-upgrade program in the guilds upgrades that 'exchange' food in exchance for guild reputation points while also add some more items to their respective stocks (I guess)

Also somekind of 'Homeless market' in Aliron which can be unlocked as you complete the first act.... Its coin would be food, and the stocks will variete like the normal shop.

Its introdution text.... (When the first act is either nearly or complete, a pop up message would appear saying)

Due to the recent civil war and some outline problems, the homeless' population in Aliron had been dangerouly increasing, the guard of the city can guarentine your safety though, but it was imposible the creation of a market when the food is used as the bargain coin... maybe as the mayor of the city you could help, or maybe find something useful for sale there.

Just an idea that pop up my head while waiting for the dugeon update.... Have a good day :)

Nothing to move the action forward.

I guess the Dog was next to act..

Please put the Critical bonus from Wits back, my entire character setup was build on it...

Same goes for the mantle and the trim/encrustment pair, at least if it is supposed to be visually similar to the coat.

I'd like to start by saying I picked up the First Strive awhile ago and am loving the game, started playing the second one not to long after I saw there was a sequel.

Things & features I believe should make some sort of return. 

Accessibility of roaming through the town, I really loved how in the first game you were able to go through areas of your mansion by selecting different keyboard keys to travel swiftly throughout your home. very efficiently and effectively. Furthering into that idea, using the number keys to roam about the city and areas was very simple yet very effective as it was easy to remember and gave the of actually exploring the town an enjoyable experience.  For example going to different districts to find NPC's or going to the marketing district to find a store. It gave off a fun exploration gameplay mechanic that brought a little bit of life to the city. Especially with how well the number traveling just felt perfect.

Traveling, as said before.. I really love how well the numbered travel mechanic worked in the first game. It also blended impeccably with traveling from location to location, asking companions (slaves) to go with you, gearing up and taking supplies then journeying through an area with multiple random encounters, not mention the multiple different options for the encounters gave off a perfect rpg feel , on your way to another place gave exploring this massively enjoyable adventuring experience that I feel the second game kind of misses out on a bit. Like I would have loved to see the stop and rest mechanic from the first one improved where you could interact with companions while resting in the camp and have access to special scenarios depending on the relationships of your companion's with each other, maybe mending through some ruff spots as the journey together makes them appreciate each other more. Having access to different ways to bond or have someone seeking help entering your camp or bandits launch a sneak ambush after your team had rested,  random encounters like that would be amazing.

I loved the bonding quests, where you could summon one of them to come talk to you, and you could go about accepting a request in multiple ways, on that topic would have loved to see that kind of feature improved where your mansion residents came up to you to request things like the above or came up to you because they wanted to go on a date or have a 'bed' date. or it could even be that they want to talk to you about your other slaves, complain or ask for help in getting along with them better.

I feel like the enslaving of very young people is a bold move that exposes the grim reality of these kinds of games that isn't usually seen in most games but made the world feel a bit more grim and real. like the kennel option yeesh.. but even though I wasn't fond of that particularly there weren't females... lol. I love the uncensored nature that the first game gave off, heroism and well... terrorism were up to you, pick one? reputations on the nearby area increase, commit horrible crimes and well small reputation decrease or none if no one was left alive to talk or captured or major boost to reputation if everyone was let go, also would have been interesting if companion's reacted more to what you did based on how they felt about you for example if they really loved you or were super loyal horrible actions could be enjoyed by them or overlooked as they trusted you, and good actions praised as again they love and your kind so it boosts their mood

Selecting your first slave's relationship to you really makes their personality feel extra special, and give that character more life.

Things I love about the second game.

I love how you doubled down on the pictures, seeing them wear specific armours, and clothing & how the weapons show up on them was a super spicy touch, on that topic being able to save characters and upload custom portraits and full body images is also a very nice touch, glad that was left in. Love how many more races were added super nice. The community makes some great custom packs to download. I love how can choose different looks and actually see the change on the default pictures, mhmmmm super nice I also enjoy how you can level up certain traits to make their loyalty grow and make them capable of doing new actions wonderful touch that was something the first game needed improved.

Overall, I believe that the first game really benefitted from the random encounters while traveling. Would love to see the first & second game touched up as they both have different systems that could really boost each other, would love to see more default artwork from community member they have some really good detailed artists I'm sure would love to help out officially. Lots more side quests and slave quests would be amazing as those making the game feel super enjoyable along with the multiple different choices you can make, relation to first slave was a great first game feature that made them feel extra specials,

These games are both amazingly fun and I'm glad the homepage recommended them, rare great free game worth buying. These may be development projects but they gave more fun then I ever would have expected. Well done to you and any and all team members!!

Not sure if it matters but I am playing it through the itch launcher.

First problem: farming money with the board is so overpowerd ,because when you have enough slaves, you can earn over 3000 gold in 2 days.

Second problem: the market sometimes sells so overpowerd stuff like full mythril gear for 400 gold, that you can do a hard dungeon already in week 3, which makes upgrading the forge for gear nearly useless.

Third problem: the guilds slaves are even with their quality upgraded 4 times terribly bad and sometimes even have 4 terrible staats.

Fourth problem: the classes all feel the same, there should be special weapons for every class (like a guitar for the bard) and special social and combat skills.

Fifth problem: there are too little trainning perks / the perks are too cheap even with the raise of the price for every other locked perk when you buy one.

Sixth problem: there are too little costumes, that give a certian bonus, there should be for example instead of the worker outfit others like a fisher outfit.

1.   Character's and mods' name bugs
2.   Background flickering to main menu screen after animation ends
3.   Unique characters don't feel unique outside their quests and scenes
4.   After Loan quest ends, the game feels a bit empty
5.   The Battles feel repetitive

   The first point is straightforward. Sometimes the JSON tag CHARNAME appears with the character's name. This also happened with the modifications available in the Slave Market menu. It's a simple, yet painful to solve given the amount of text (I know first-hand), bug.

   The second bug is again straightforward. When the background animation ends, the background quickly flickers to the main menu screen (which appears to also be running for some reason) before the BC animation starts again. I know one can turn the animations of, which will probably solve the bug, but I like the animations in the background. A nice addition when compared to Strive for Power, and one we may hopefully see in the ero scenes in the future.

   I know this may be my personal feeling only, but the unique characters barely seem unique outside their quests. Zephira, Anastasia, and the MC have unique classes that actually provides unique bonuses, so I reckon it would be nice to see it with the others. I'd also suggest allowing the development of said classes through EXP. For instance, Zephira receives a divine quest from Alios and, upon completing the quest, the player has the option to expend exp on an evolution of her unique class. Cali could have a Champion class (which further improves her sword) and Daisy could either have an improved Sex Toy class or a Lover class or similar.

   The fourth point is the most "personal feeling" of the five. After playing Strive for Power, my main critique of that game was that one simply needed to farm money in the beginning of the game before having an easy time with all the quests. Only the Dragon's nest felt like a real challenge, even with the best equipment and characters in the game. Having to, in Strive: Conquest, pay a loan gives the player a huge incentive to explore the game and find new ways to either strengthen your party, or get more money to pay the debt. I played in hard mode from the beginning, and it was a good challenge, but after I payed the bank, the game again felt empty, my only objective being upgrade the household, the characters, and doing quests. 

   I suggest having a weekly (or at least  between two and two weeks or something) objective. In the prologue, that'd be the Loan; in the Arc I, the landlords could be required to support the city's war effort through any ways possible (weapons, tools, food, battles participated, potions, armour, wood and stone, anything that can be produced). I haven't played Act II yet, but an objective would feel nice.

   The fifth point again is straightforward, and a bit personal too. The battles feel like the same after the first time you face an opponent. The locations making a difference beyond enemy type and strength could solve the problem. This is a low priority problem, though.

Anyway, I'm hugely satisfied with the game. It's far better than Strive for Power, which was already a good game. 

Edit: Probably something that was already considered in the development, but when it comes to checks in the gameplay, I think it would be better if the game used the stats instead of the factors. For instance, when recruiting Anastasia, even if the MC has maxed charm and chooses all the correct options, if charm factor is below three or four, you'll fail.

There are also other minor weird things with the personality options. Repeatedly clicking the left arrow will switch Neutral and Serious. Clicking the right arrow on Neutral will go to Kind then Bold then Shy.

Clicking the right arrow on Serious will go straight to Bold then Shy and clicking the left arrow of Shy will go to Kind. 

It seems like even though the text says Shy it's still on the Bold option and Serious is considered the Kind option.

Plus in an part of the quest its revealed his/her desire (Option) to 'banging her ass'... personaly, I would like to see her in an scene similar to the elven priestess afer the act II.

in a personal thing, that archer elf beat almost all my time everytime i play that part of the story before her capture, i wish a way to show her who is the boss now.

In fact.... now that Amelia is in now... In her dialogue could say the master wants her help disciplinaing the elf archer (Reference to what happened in the first act)

This weapon has 'Slots: Right Hand, Left Hand, ITEMSLOTNO_STACK, ITEMSLOTENCHANTABLE' which none of my other weapons have those last two flags.  It says it has a Mithril blade, Crystalized Ether encrustment, and a Steel handle if that matters.

Also there is a purple suit of armour named 'Item Name' with an amount of 0000 in every category of inventory, but it is not assignable to a character and seems to cause no problems.

Edit:  I just got an Iron Great Spear with the same issues as above, so I guess it is all Great Spears.

I try to look at the files or various mods but I don't see how to achieve this with minimal changes. Basically, I would like to allow races with tentacles or multiple limbs to use those during sex scenes, for races such as arachnids, nereid, etc... For example, if the tentacles are many, they should be able to use it on multiple people without using it as a group action such as "fuck in turns", or to use the legs for a footjob on a person and then a massage with feet on another, without actions cancelling. Another example without groups, if you have more than two tentacles, you can maybe DP with tentacles on a single person, and use leftover tentacles for something else.

A race check (or simple bodyparts check, like a variable number_legs/tentacles/boobs), a counter of used bodyparts, should do the trick (maybe who knows multiple penises on a new alien tentacle race), but I cannot find how to modify the code for that. Maybe the whole structure makes it impossible? I found a function somewhere for race check for aphrodisiacs that checks within some list but aside from that no clue. Like for furries, multiple boobs means multiple titjobs? (theoretically with 3 boobs on a triangle you can have 3 simultaneous titjobs but that is stretching the idea). Same for orifices, for... "creative" races/bodyparts (like several hollow boobs on a mutant furry or something).

Since I do not know how to mod it I am adding this as a suggestion. :)

Currently all sexual encounters between characters are initiated manually by the player. Should there be a way to let characters have sex automatically?

Sweet_Dreams suggested to have a "sex schedule" for each character:

As for the micromanaging, each slave could get a sex schedule, or just an option to automatically take care of sex needs. Slaves that like each others could be paired (or threesomed, or foursomed) so they take their breaks together, and the master's interaction is only necessary when you want particular pairings.

The developers replied that this might be too much work to implement:

Please consider the amount of potential work which would have to be done before making a suggestion. Adding sex schedule is a whole new area of complexity which i simply dont have both time and willingness to do.

I elaborated on the idea to allow (or deny) slaves to have sex when they feel like it by adding a "sexual autonomy" setting. The player would get a (non-intrusive) notification when that happens allowing them to peek or join in if they want to:

There could be a "sexual autonomy" setting where the player can decide for each slave separately whether or not they are permitted to engage in consensual sex with other slaves, demand sex from other slaves and/or are obligated to fulfill demands for sex from other slaves.

Per default I would see that scene playing out off-screen. The sex system mechanics already work pretty fine without the player actively doing anything, so having a sex scene entirely off-screen shouldn't be that difficult. But considering that the game now works in time increments of one hour, it would also be possible to show some kind of notification for an ingame-hour saying that two characters are getting it on right now. The player should then be allowed to peep and/or join in if they want to (starting a regular sex scene with the two characters).

I would not do this as a modal popup event the player is forced to interact with, because that might get quite annoying in the long run. I would rather do it as an icon in the character list or a toast notification which can be easily ignored if the player does not care right now.

Anyone have any more thoughts on that matter?
