honestly i strongly missing "power" parts from 1st game  

its more strive to unlock things, but game get consistently updated and i hope for the best 

my type of approach is mutate the every trait on person and go as My main dude BeastWolf 7/6/2/3 max stats

main slave cat +1 strength with all 4 boosting traits

dragon and drow with all 4 traits

good alternative for Dragonkin might be cali

everyone trained as assassin and main person as mage

all tattoes for +2 magic and last 1 whatever really

4x Elven armor +1str +agility 

4x ruby ring +1str +1 agility

3x cursed blade 1x ayneris sword on main

1.1FIX added:

mod was causing errors in console and small display bugs in game

with some help (all credits mentioned in info.txt) i was able to find and identify, and replicate issue

^funny i played whole run and 1/2 of next run without finding this error (it required some regular-base gameplay +  checking with character swapping to find)

after finding error i had 2 choices:

Remove link to character and basically remove feature that caused errors or:

leave it be and just acknowledge existence of this issue + add optional fix

but i found 3rd option:

instead of connecting clicking to person which caused link to strange glitch goblin amalgam of person under specific conditions

i connected click to location where person is (it was more complicated then i expected it to be, but worth it)

so far tested mod with multiple characters and swapping, made sure i got proper files and lines of code so i can with full confidence add it, and mention in this post.

Future plans:

i m still stal-dying and working on Dating mod.

i plan 1 small update for my mod for strive 1, but nothing special.

less procrastination or at least with more happiness.

When i first saw this i was like "how fucking dare you?"

I can confidently say this mod is one of my most stable and most unlikely to cause problems .

You see i put a lot of work to made this mod in version 1.0 works and i used it after release (as mush as you can use display mod)

i believe you can solve problems with my mod by entering "mods" unenabling my mod, clicking "apply" and than reenabling mod again and apply.

If you wanna use my mod with Ank Patches you will have to paste patch in your game data. take mansion.gd and all patched files and add them to backup folder and replace them all, mod system is using BACKUP files when doing his job.

if that dosnt solve the problem, you will have to give me more information about not working mod, where it dosn't works and how?

what you did to made my mod not working?

mod must be instaled on top of patches or other mods/file replacers that modify mansion.gd.

good to see Your game finished

Drows are dark blue or heban

Elfs are white

dark elves are brown and slighty stronger than elves

Welcome back, good to see new pack in community, thanks.

thats amazing, i didnt know that, can you than buy back sold emily from slavery and have 2 of them?

EDIT, just checked, events plays, but she is not in mansion, just her event...

Hello, i m trying to look at the issue you might have

1st i need to ask which version you downloaded and instaled inside your mod folder

1.1?

2.1 for vanilla game

2,1 for Redle organizer?

inside my file

if person.traits.has("Authority") && person.obed >= 95:
for i in globals.slaves:
if i.away.duration == 0 && i != person:  <- this is line 909 and whole this segment is not a thing i m modifying 
i.obed += 5
if person.traits.has("Mentor"):
for i in globals.slaves:
if i.away.duration == 0 && i != person && i.level < 3:
i.xp += 5

Do you have any other big mod active that might change mansion.gd?

my mod in version 2.1 for vanilla starts magic from something around 925

for Redle mansion organizer 944

i m abusing 0 mana spells over all limits, mana menagment in strive is rl annoying unless you skip few weeks on nothing but sex

looks fun, but troublesome for me to play with,  great improvment and good to have another mod in strive

hahaha, this is amazing someone was able to replicate it and deduce how the fuck can you cause it :D

(i did a lot of things during my road and wasnt able to identify specific actions that caused that)

i would suggest get to level 2/3 on both characters and visit shalique village, capture fairys (in fairy grove forest) and sell them for cash

you can also on level 1 add 1 agility 1 endurance and in windborn outshirt explore a little to the moment when you will find "wandering trader" event, make sure she is not human and assault her :D and sold for slavery, Taurus should buy you half of the gear

Maybe its good idea to put small follow up:

Building perfect Master character:

Master like slaves can drop substances during sex, so taking one of races listed above as ones giving them might be good

Master character can get only sexual traits and cant mutate 

master dont have fear and stress and lust, cant work, 

Best choice would be Race with combat/passive bonus, Master will alvays be in your combat team

and Race with Fur or scales - they can be enchanted for +2 defence endgame and you cant get them

Can get tail and all nice lab upgrades

Best races for master:

1: BEASTKIN WOLF: +4awarness (worse part of agility) +3 damage in combat (better part of strenght) FUR (+2armor lategame) Beastial essence from sex sometimes (worth like 10 gold if you wanna sell it and usefull when crafting pots) Tail useable for additional mana from sex

2: BEASTKIN CAT: 10% chances for enemy to miss when targeting Cats, would call it being best bonus if you dont wanna put too mush points in agility, FUR (+2armor lategame) Beastial essence from sex and tail

3: SERAPH: +4 speed (better part of agility) and humanish or with a little dose of laboratory demonic look ^^

Honorable mentions:

ALL universal racial bonuses that works for master:

Centaur + 40 energy max master have 100 energy everyday so this +40 might be useable

Drow +20% mana from sex (only works for main character orgasms

Demon Cheaper lab upgrades 30% (master is usualy 1st person who gets this upgrades)

Goblin bonus apply, but well you cant get pregnant without vagina and mating partner

Slime - master toxicity is alvays 0 anyway, but "bonus" prevent you from using lab

All races with substances from sex, tail or fur/scales apply to master

Best Gender:

here Having a penis is kind of important (scenes and more mana from sex)

Futanari here is dominating for mana production and number of options that can be used at the same time

Best Specializations:

Slaver - tons of cash made quickly, fluid gear advancement and easier erlygame

Mage - better mana costs, in events and in spellcasting, more damage from spells - i would suggest using it with high magic affinity stats

Hunter - starts with normal dagger, better enemy detection (easier to avoid strong groups erly), better rewards from combat

Alchemist - can print infinite money after finishing storymode :D, cant do mush with bonus prebuild alchemy workshop

Building Stats:

i dont wanna tell you how you should most effectivly set your own ingame stats, its your own build and strenght of it is determined by how well you will be able to use it, but i ll try to explain what every single statistic brings to the table:

Strenght: every point gives +3 attack in combat and increase amouth of items(loot/provisions) you can have in combat team (maximum carry weight) +4

Agility: commonly known as strongest stat in the game, but it might be funnier to actually have it in reasonable numbers, every point gives +3 speed and awarness

speed works a little bit tricky once you reach 40+ you starting to feel powerfull

Magic: every spell (with few exceptions) have own calculations for magic: Heal, ming blast, sedation, fear, acid spit and so on

Endurance: every odd point gives you +1 action daily(+1 more date and +1 more sex) (in Version 0.524c+) also every point increase max/starting HP +50 each (*)

You might consider:

Starting with chestsize Average or bigger (if you wanna have hollow nipples lab upgrade you must have tits minimum in that size)

^it dosnt rl matter and nipplefuck is not good action, but its just something you can take for easier unlock later

My personal best:

Beastkin Wolf

Male (futanari is better for mana from sex, but i just dont rl like futas i dont even like furries, i just like being big bad and wild in bed and have this Warewolf vide when i play)

Mage (i have mana problems because i like casting spells)

Stats:

Strenght: 7 - big bad wolf (i wanna hit like a truck)

Agility 6 - i had to remove 1 point from somewhere and better be master of hard hitting than master of none

Magic 2 - spells i like the most dont need magic affinity as mush and i prefer to use melee combat and violence or totaly avoid conflicts

Endurance 3 - Enchanted Fur helps me here a lot in case of survival, its not wise to fight with low basic HP so i could not go lower and it was rl good to take that +1 for 1 more sex and 1 more date daily

no, dont know about Html version, but windows versions should be safe

Awesome to see another good pack even if males arent my preferences

no :D

how and why even? my slaves sit in jaiil waiting for me to get mana before i even let them think about sex

when i have mana i simply spike them with 2k magic turning their brains into baked potatoes and mental stats into rot

than they can live more or less, at least if they behave themselfs

above girls in current versions are not my preferences, would love to see usage of said games for more uncommon races

elf and humans and even catgirls are super popular, but drows and orc girls should be doable with it and we have shortages there ^^

big tits and slave collars and send them to me please :D

its vanilla, you need energy to escape, i personaly alvays trying to fight to the end and risk of losing progress with no energy is element of the game, not greatest, but it is our losing condition

can confirm sidebar for scrolling is gone, but scroll function is still working and quiting "change order" made scroll gone

You are doing amazing job, keep it up :)

did you downloaded the game from Ichio and for your OS and just unpacked inside empty folder where you wanna have game?

i asume its not ichio launcher problem and such error never poped when i played and i m doing a lot weird things with this sorcery

Could you try to create new folder in drive?

download game from here: https://strive4power.itch.io/strive-for-power for your OS (have experience only with 32 and 64 versions)

unpack to that folder

and try again?

Function dropping bugs for you is localized inside Game/Scripts/characters/constructor.gd and  should looks more or less like this:

• func randomportrait(person):
     var array = []
     var racenames = person.race.split(" ")
        for i in globals.dir_contents(globals.setfolders.portraits):          <<<<<<this is the line 182
           for k in racenames:
              if i.findn(k) >= 0:
                  array.append(i)
                  continue
  if array.size() > 0:
     person.imageportait = array[randi()%array.size()]

this is amazing, i cant wait to see effect once you end all of that :)

person with rebelious state have tendency for stealing your cash even if they look tammed ;)

https://itch.io/t/606081/i-cant-make-the-due-to-recent-event-rebels-against-your-control

this topic gives few tips how to tame rebelious slaves, for low obedience slave you simply can made her sleep in shackles and maid dress, have fun playing

This is amazing, but more important for me, i wonder how you discovered that, so simple and  still so good, Thanks.

i m affraid, i m not big fan of Aric's expansion, i like all works and effort he puts into his mod, all feedback he gets and how frequently hes updating it, just don't like the changes

for me Strive is sandbox game full of freedom with character progression system and sex+slavery. i like the game for being complex enough to show me own charm, not like this grinding games where you skip time till you finaly can have something done or renpy games where you hold shift to skip walls of texts waiting for boobs or gameplay...

in Strive my freedom is priority, ofc some options rewards a bit more than others, but less rewarding options can still have rl interesting results and be usefull, i can made lady as i want her without limitations of class or having penalities bcs her boobies are too big or bcs i use her every night...She can adapt to my needs and be my companion at night and days :)

i m not asking my own slaves for any permissions besides one to take our date to the bedroom, which is nice bonus, not strange forced pregnacy or incest fetish or walking in chastity belt, i dont wanna throw meat to ppl who like that things, feel free to do yours 

i m modding Strive for power, even if i would try to made mod for Aric expansion 8.1, version 8.2 can ruin all my work and i ll be forced to redesign my whole mod... also i rl dont like changes in this and how everywhere they are, maybe not all of them (having different look for pregnant girl might be ok, even if i never made pregnacy last longer than 2 weeks)

i have few ideas for not fetishes, but sexual preferences (for future sex system changes - nothing big, just few more options and bonus if girl like specific races/eyes whatever i ll find as good idea and dont delete :D), but wasnt able to implement them yet and stacking ideas in my case is terrible, i need to focus on 1 big thing and than do another

my dating might work with Aric expansion, but that is not my goal, 

• i wanna redesign character progression in dating and give some sense of personality (20 courage slave will have other reactions than 80 and so on)
• actions other than "teach" will reward with stat changes if reaction will be possitive
• actions that are not designed to have positive reaction might lead to interesting results (you can punish slave in middle of meeting if she was naughty or you didnt liked her behaviour)
• chances to influence personality changes by using effect that was alvays there, but now its ignored mostly after sex system changes

and for this, there ideas burns out quickly so i created this topic :)

for example right now i m thinking about possible behaviours of your date for "hold hands"

one idea is to have possibility for clingy character if she have decent courage and strenght to prolong this action

another is to check mindage of person (game have such thing and its used in events) and made childish character to move hands together - however you call this Newtonish moves thats kids and old clocks might do sometimes

Sounds like absolute meaningless nothing i know :D, but when i ll have  6+ reactions for most actions  it might create more complex system

....my post might be a mess, but i hope its readable and i dint hurt anyone

Another (in my opinion) worth posting update:

Added mod thats reward players with learning points

- mod rewards companions with learning points for leveling up

- reward is growing with levels on your servant (levels 1-4 should be enough to learn most basic skill (27-30) and next 3 should unlock something advanced (36-39))

- mod was renamed because previous name was terrible (i was exhausted from creativity and named it not greatly)

Updated Seal of mass teleportation to V1.1

- new version removes warning when using seal on master (penality was removed and i finaly found where warning is stored)

^might be mixed blessing bcs i had to edit 1 more function than i wanted, but should be fine

Updated Armour matter to V1.1

- i m even more proud of this mod now, i wish to upload it like that from the begining, but i didnt and thats why i made update

- informations are displayed in mush better way to the players and colors was used and everything should be a bit better

Added mod: "multiple meetings with same person"

- mod allows to date or fuck same person multiple times a day if your character can endure another meeting

- basicly unlocking more possibilities for daily action usage and even more fun :D

As promised in comment under this small project, i m trying to provide all my tweaks with proper descriptions and credits

i downloaded 1st version and my issue might add to the topic, i restrained myself from leaving less positive comment, but i think it might be better for future updates.

 my major issue is:

 you simply have too many folders and most of them are useless or having only few images

i would like it to be like this:

 > portraits > female > race > all portraits for that race.jpg

Bodies > female > race > all bodys for that race.jpg

that way random portrait mod could rl be random with your portraitpack not just scoping thru to find 1 of 2 girls who are classified as ord/human female

basicly your modpack look like slighty edited mix of packs in your list, that would be good if not all this leftovers

i have no idea if game can find Dark elves in your modpack, but dont have one to test it for now - others packs have this issue folder with dark elves have wrong name

Thanks you for your work to scope thru all this packs and combine them together and edit them

will check this out and leave my feedback when done, so far i m glad someone did it :)

Deviant trait is unobtainable in recent versions.

Quick affect stress reductors and receivers

more unusual plays in bed might raise stress so you need to be plan your actions here or know how to reduce stress after actions or simply survive few small mental breakdowns

stressed characters does shit performance at work

UPDATE

maybe i ll be more specific, reactions in 1st strive are body language and gestures (descriptions for what slave could made)

this are actions i m trying to cover:

Chat - already done

intimate chat (flirt) - already done

touch - done, but could use some ideas

hold hands - currently stuck (need itdeas)

combhair

kiss (got few ideas there)

and so on :D

currently considering as sense of personality:

Devoted Submissive Dominant Spoiled Responsive Coward Masochist sex-crazed pervert  blemished 

checks for lewdness, loyality, obedience, courage, confidence, stress

numbers of times action was used, action that was used before, check for unlocked intimacy

wonder about using:

Clingy, ascetic, pretty voice, Foul mouth. natural beuty, uncivilized, clever

checks for lust, level, charm, enlonged tongue

its open topic and this thing is rl hard to perform so any feedback is welcome

made her work as sextoy or maybe since its your healer just punish her personaly?

why would you lose ok healer and warrior when can just give her lesson she will never forget?

i dont understand desire to do that, but you kind of can send low hp character to work as subject or chocke him to dead with boobs (made him sleep on low hp with 20 girls in communal room

in Sequel you have desired skills, but i dont value killing my slaves, they are mine toys and i should have tiny responsibility :D

Your kids needs this time to grow up to be childs age or highter and than you can use them as you please

i personaly dont like that part of the game, but you can ask them to hunt for food and they might find you new nice slaves

Best thing you can do with slaves is Trait breading, some ppl there having fun in making "perfect slaves"

my way for "perfection" amuse me a bit better, but thats choice :)

i suspect its screen reader problem, software cant capture game window without your refreshing it manualy

sadly thats end of my expertise knowledge i was disapointed by screen readers in past and wasnt using since that time

i m not great with ero games, but for indies i love indie games

You might try Star sector - RPG/action simulator made in 9 years with devoted modding community and many interactions with world (can be played as tycoon if you go for industry tree or war game if you go for violence or trading/courier game or stealth smuggling game  - you might play with all this styles mixed bcs its hard to  avoid situations that require sneaking/fighting)

Star Crawlers - indie dungeon crawler with like 40 factions and branching story you have like 8 classes and origin for each character is somehow unique but with benefits, game is fun in case of making combos to destroy enemies or using friends to convince enemies to stop hating you or send you gifts, but might get repeatative bcs it is dungeon crawler

Kenshi - this game have almost no Genre you start it as sandbox RPG and can turn it into RTS or tycoon or whatever will be your direction (also made in 9 years and still updating also decent mod community and big part of the game was made by 1 person)

for me they have similar charm as Strive in case of effort put in the game 

Mav have sequel in erly stages running, its kind of fun, but not mush content for now and interactions are limited

i m not sure if you can perform it, but would it be possible to forge mod file from it to use with mod system?

i bet there is some value in globals.gd or somewhere else that calls item lists (wanted to perform same thing with traits with this method once, but no desired results)

Mutation spell can remove even 20/30 - dont use potions for slaves you like they are not to have nice boobies

or mod the game

1st go to your main hero window and check in "contraceptive" is off

2nd check if your slaves dont have traits like "interfile"

3rd go to your slave customization and check if slaves have "contraceptive" off

4th fuck them

5th if you still cant made them pregnant with all above steps use mutation spell few times
