I got Marianne but just abducting her from the tavern, lol.
Well, she ventured there of her own accord. Should have known better than try to make deals with a dragon. :devilish:

Mind sharing some hints for obtaining
Aleteina, Mialee
These are the mutually exclusive gals. You need 12 reputation level to auto-trigger their quest.

I heard there's a special girl at the end of the darkwood questline, I'm guessing that's Chtholly?
Yes. I think you need to beat the Phoenix before getting her.

Yep. I'm more used to the code-internal name of it. :oops:
Hmm, so I rushed to level 12 infamy and got the event, but now I think there's a bug, or maybe I'm just reading the Runglish wrong. So I infiltrate the castle, meet the alv, don't call her out on her deception, learn of the alv's deception from dark sister then attack the dark sister, then on my way back to the alv, I'm forced to turn on the peasant girl and forced into helping the alv? (which is a early game over too!) I'm just trying to get the peasant since I have enough alves already :sleep:

Yeah, apparently Eliont somehow missed porting over all the other things that you could do with the mad elf. :oops: Mainly killing and screwing her, of course. Will add those back in.

which is a early game over too
Some people like it. :D

I'm just trying to get the peasant since I have enough alves already
But it's a unique elf! :p Anyway, getting the fiery peasant is possibly the most unintuitive path you can take in that quest.

ravager is missing from from the bestiary listing in lair. shows up fine in the army of darkness though.
Thanks! Incidentally, Ravager is also problematic because he's internally still called 'juggernaut'. But that was a simple indexing mistake. Fixed.

BTW, I was getting a bit unhappy with the amount of Japanese girl names that did not seem... setting-appropriate, so I replaced the random name list. Doesn't seem to work though. Is it necessary to refresh the name database somehow?

Care to share? I have some plans to look at the original DW of doing names at some point, but it's pretty low-priority.

Yes. Use 'call load_random_names' or 'renpy.call("load_random_names")' from the console.

The balance here seriously needs to be addressed. Starting a new game on "normal" I get 2 damage, 10 HP and every single enemy on the map also gets 2 damage (minimum) and more than 10 HP. It's literally mathematically impossible for me to win. And if I don't win I don't eat and than I die.

So unless there is a secret easy starting area that I've missed that's it.

Did you not read the warnings? 'Normal' does not mean what you think it means. :p It means "savescum, not your first time playing, or die".

It's literally mathematically impossible for me to win.
Almost true, unless you start as a steel dragon. Then it's possible to beat the dog with some regularity. The more martial of the other colours can kill the mutt with savescumming, but it is an exercise in frustration.

You're not the big bad dragon, destroyer of armies. Not yet. You're a pet dragon.

On the other hand, I've played a tiny dragon on impossible for a while, and while painful, it's sort of doable with really hardcore savescumming.

So unless there is a secret easy starting area that I've missed that's it.
The secret sauce is called 'minions'. Or starting as one of the bigger sizes. I'm also planning to add a 'screensaver' difficulty for people... well, maybe not quite like you.

Technically, there are also rabbits and foxes in the forest, who either don't fight back or are actually weaker than you. But they're not really meant as a 'starter' area.

Literally just went to this link: and generated 100 random names then plugged it into the respective file in game/db/randomnames :p

However, if you're actually going to work on this feature, then I suggest having different name lists for each race.
I think that's how the original DW had it, but I don't remember for sure.

either go hire some goblins/brigands or save scum for food encounters in the countryside (geese) or alven forest (fox, rabbit). later on there's also deer in the forest but you need to be a certain size. also if you have blue head/scale you can get really common tuna events which give a whopping 40 (!!!) food without any infamy cost.

you can't play this mod like the original game.

Yeah, that one isn't going to work. I guess I might have to look around for more specific ones.

Indeed. Nobles even had surnames, the greedy bastards. :p

Or most mainstream games, for that matter. This is some Darkest Dungeon level of player hatred here. :cool:

Take a guess. If you get it wrong three times in a row, a small red dragon will burst out of your computer and eat your face. ;)
