Update time! This is not actually everything, but it has been a week, so I figure players deserve a build that's cleaned up (plus there's additional bonus stuff). More info after the update log.

Link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/r62ryhma9pkh35u/TLS+0.73.1.exe/file 

TLS 0.73.1

- Additional conversations have been added to Vhala's quest.

- Vhala's quest now grants additional influence for saves with lower ProN returns, as a mercy mechanic.

- Vhala's quest now grants more RP and other variables.

- Balia's quest now causes the training orcs in the base to upgrade, with four new training fights.

- Solely in the Divergent Church scenario, Bertricia has a Shining Sword to give the player.

- Solely in the New Religion scenario, Yelarel will give a Shining Sword during Sarai's quest.

- Upgraded keyboard/controller scripts thanks to Rachnera. The intro text and text describing key presses have been changed to account for this.

- Updated Elleani/Yarra scene thanks to Annikath.

- Additional bugfixing and polishing.

I think the above stuff is pretty self-explanatory. What isn't is the remaining work necessary for the public release: the most important part is fine-tuning Vhala's quest. People have reported various bugs, but there's been no discussion of the underlying mechanics and I haven't seen any optimization talk or reported numbers. I hope to get all of this in order before the public release.

In fact, the number of people saying they've been waiting multiple updates to play this release is a bit intimidating, so I'd really like to get everything polished up first. One element of that is the keyboard and controller script, which Rachnera has steadily continued to work on. If you're interested in this, please use it while playing and report anything amiss!

The number of things on my list is steadily decreasing. One that remains is maybe working on the portrait system in the base again; people have requested alternates for Robin, Zelica, and Sabitha. If you have other requests (generics, not new custom portraits) please mention them now so we don't have to fiddle with this too much.

The main thing I noticed was there was an extra slot to add keybindings in the general category, which is good because you don't have to choose between numpad 0 and INS. Also I noticed that Rachnera fixed the issue with shop quantity controls using the numlocked keypad, which was irretrievably broken in the previous release. A few minor improvements are still needed though: The latter (INS) should still be set in the fourth slot as a default for Cancel. Numpad 3 should be set as the third default setting for Menu->Previous Page Numpad 9 should be set as the third default setting for Menu->Next Page With just these three additional defaults the numpad should work right out of the box, regardless if num lock is on or off. Without them, the user still needs to make at least one keyboard fix in the settings to make the numpad work, also no matter if the num lock is on or off. :)

Is the final potion made with the Depthstone, Arcane Drop, Ecstatic Drop, and Pureflower? Those items are not removed from inventory when the Final Potion is made.

OK, I've got my fix for the bug reported by Lostone2 in Riala's Research Dialogue tree in Ch4. Right now the Riala Event in Headquarters B1 @ (007,021), Page 3 has a plethora of conditionals preventing the display of the line "I'm afraid we're busy improving our Tower defenses and we don't have time for new research now." It needs one more, a check that variable 0286 Tower Front < 24. This prevents the line from displaying when one is selecting a research project in the Erosian War Aftermath when one has not triggered the research limitation gated by a low (23 or less) Tower Front score. The current bug doesn't prevent the player from selecting an option, it just displays the hateful line after the Research projection map has loaded but before you make a selection. This should FINALLY get this line behaving properly going forward, but I do intend to make another check on the playthrough of the game I'm about to run to make sure. Secondary issue apropos of nothing, in the current game build it is only possible to recruit Sister Beatrice from the Ardford Cathedral for the Palace Staff at the start of Ch 5 if the Church Diverges path is selected at the Synod. I vaguely remember reading that this was intended as a consolation prize allowing Church Diverges players to recruit her early but that other Synod paths would get the chance later in the game. I might be hallucinating that. Just bringing the issue to your attention. Note that I'm having gmail problems so I may not respond to replies to this comment in a timely fashion because I can't get notifications.

A lore question regarding Vhala's Task: in the reunion in the Holy Knights, how the Unsuccubus knows about the old man from Aram?: https://imgur.com/a/FrMZewN It's interesting that the Unsuccubi are in so good terms with the Unpeople to know details like this one. If it's intended it's a nice touch but I was under the impression that there wasn't a lot of comunication between the two groups. Unrelated to the previous comment. Are any plans to use or discard unsellable equipment (like the Crumbling Tomes for instance). I think that it would be nice if we can get smalls rewards (not necessarily Sx, could be consumables for instance) from them.

Slight mix up I noticed when checking things. The flavor text in for Zirtania's level of support in Vhala's project checks Ardoheim's country score, not Zirtania's. https://imgur.com/a/zK8wecu

Finished my second playthrough of the update, now on the 73.1 version. One thing I would suggest is moving the Empress and Xestris closer to the action. I had 0 idea they were there when playing normally both times, and only noticed them when checking the map variables in rpg maker! As for final variables I ended with a Vhala points score of 71. I managed to get every nation on board, except for Tatseni. I didn't put any money in either investment as neither really seemed that worth it. I might play around with my choices a bit and see if I can get to 75 for the extra bumps, but I think getting the crest of nations is pretty impossible for me on this save XD.

lostone2

Balance suggestions: if the Secret stats page is right and the maximum value of its score is 18, the only option that Tatseni joins the effort (without spending influence) implies that that it's the chosen country to help Rodak. That makes not much sense, fro various point of view ( following the narrative, from an optimized point of view and it's easy to disregard them enterlly). Would you consider lowering the threshold to 13, maybe?

Loved the dialogue about Robin’s potion license coming in handy during the potion making quest. Made me laugh. But man I’m going to feel REAL bad later in the game when I watch whoever that potion is for slowly bleed out. I would love to help them, but my natural gamer instincts to always horde potions, especially limited use ones, prevents me from helping them.

I'm trying to detail all the events related to Vhala's Task in the forum: https://thelastsovereign.flarum.cloud/d/180-073x-content and if I'm not mistaken the maximum amount of Vhala Points that you can accrue is 93. It's pretty likely that I'm missing some sources of VPs, but just in case I'm reporting this (as I haven't seen who has reported to be able to get the Crest of Nations). Even if there are more 10 VPs, it's a very narrow window for an item, lol (I haven't checked its stats yet, as I'm not optimistic that I'm able to get it;) ).

lostone2

Talking about RPs, two doubts: to unlock the latest sex-on-demand scene with Ginasta you need 99 RPs, but if we hadn't missed anything, you can only get 98 (so you miss a hot scene AND some stats increases). Any plans for further increases (maybe in the optional dungeon) before the Final Dungeon? So far, Mithyn RPs are only checked once during the IW Aftermath. Any chance that they will be useful at any other point? (if you're looking for suggestions, it would be neat if Vera and co. would be willing to lend a hand with Vhala's Task...)

Based on lotsone2's work, there's apparently a check for Economy >100, Social> 60 and Religion >100. The last two feel switched as Religion 60+ is doable but 100 is definitely out of reach. Also, while Social 90+ is possible, at first glance I'm unable to tell if 100+ is feasible or not. On the other hand, Economy 150+ is achievable so that threshold could be raised by quite some margin.

I suspect that this is not going to fly, but the last night I have a small idea regarding the potion mini-quest. After the Hermit requests to get outside help, Robin could suggest two venues to find help: 1) Talk with her older female professor (the one that evaluates her crystal) in the Thaumaturgical Academy.. The teacher will write a formal request of help to her contact in the Last Output. As this is somehow official request, the Potion expert is more reluctant, so she asks for X Sx. 2) Ask around in the Square (Lies, lies!) Plaza. The guy/gal that sells goos (both have a similar look) gives the groupa tip regarding his/her talented parent in the Wilds. As it's an informal connection the price is lower: X/2 Sx. Well, I just want to share it with you. Greetings.

Hectic week so far, apologies for the late .1 feedback. Kudos to Annikath - Yarra's leg looks much better in her Elleani scene and the tail is a nice touch. Kudos also to Rachnera - all of the issues I had with the controller script are fixed. If you're looking for data on breakpoints for Vhala's quest, I guess the easiest thing to do is to snapshot my quest and country scores after completing the quest. I have not looked under the hood yet, so this is purely based on my attempts to interpret the in-game prompts. My save is not perfectly optimised, in large part because I take the "saving Carina's men" route in chapter 2. I didn't spend any ProN in the quest, and I'm lacking a resource to make the Sanctity Plate, upgraded or no.
