TLS 0.34.2 Public Release
Added 2018-05-11 22:30:36 +0000 UTCAs usual, you can get it at the blog:
https://the-last-sovereign.blogspot.com/2018/05/tls-0342-public-release.html
TLS 0.34.2
- The threshold for Dari has been lowered somewhat.
- There is now an event to upgrade Hilstara's Helm at the succubus armorer, if you funded her. I don't want to go overboard with upgrades like this, but patrons made some good suggestions on this one.
- There are conversations on the statues in the new dungeon. I had meant to include these earlier but they got lost in the shuffle.
- More bugfixes and polishing.
KNOWN BUG: After uploading, I noticed that the upgrade is bugged such that you can end up with two copies of Hilstara's Helm. Since only she can equip it and it can't be sold, I think this is harmless. It's fixed on my end, but I didn't want to delay the release to reupload.
Meanwhile, I did an interview with a patron, feel free to check it out here:

See you in an update post on Sunday!

FYI, I just feel that the fight for Uyae's group in the upper left hand corner is waaay to much rng. I finally managed to beat them, after 5 loads, not as bad as when I first fought the concrete demon or the undead chosen to be sure, but that group of mobs hand Uyae and party shut down after the 1st turn usually.

2018-07-06 23:02:18 +0000 UTCMight be the parralex maps is that is what is being used. A few times on these games (not TLS as of yet), I have to restart my 'puter to get it to stop acting wonky.

2018-07-06 23:00:56 +0000 UTCHas anyone else been experiencing a lag spike in recent versions? I'm getting a lot more stuttering and jumpiness than I used on, even just walking around or talking to people. I haven't played since... the public v42, I think? So it's maybe not the most recent update that's responsible, but it's noticeably worse than a few versions ago. Just thought I'd check to see if anyone's having the same problem or knows of a solution.

2018-05-13 03:28:15 +0000 UTCI invested in the Givini Tunnels in this iteration of Pron, but it does not appear in the Ledger.

2018-05-12 19:20:53 +0000 UTCSierra, you'd considered to lower the Chalice States points requirement for Iris' max RP conversation. Did you, or is it still 50?

2018-05-12 18:08:37 +0000 UTCIt has to do with a complex set of factors. On the game end, it's partially a balance thing because the Yhilini bank can be acquired (and give profits) so much earlier. On the story end, one potential justification is that the other banks (especially Stineford) are well-positioned to be making a lot of new profits with all the trade between new nations.
Sierra Lee
2018-05-12 11:23:01 +0000 UTCThey say that they've worked out that Simon = Dargai and that they won't allow him to manipulate them any more. That's not the same as confiscating his Ardan assets. Governments tend to be gun shy about confiscating the assets of rich people, even if they have committed crimes (which isn't necessarily the case with Simon) even if they're foreigners. It makes other rich people nervous. Especially when those foreigners are active military allies with large numbers of troops inside their borders. The Feroholm house probably got yanked for unpaid rent or property tax, and Simon could probably have contested that if he wanted.
DukeLeto7
2018-05-12 09:34:01 +0000 UTCThinking about it, how are Simon's assets in Ardford still part of the Ledger in Chapter 4? Near the end of Chapter 3, both the Church and representatives from the Crown say they tracked down Dargai's money, and want him to go to hell as soon as the war is over. But, somehow, they take no action to seize everything he owns in Ardford once things have calmed down.

2018-05-12 08:29:20 +0000 UTCI feel your pain everytime I find that I invested poorly. (looks at spreadsheets) damn you....

2018-05-12 07:50:19 +0000 UTCI have a question concerning the Yhilin bank. In my playthrough Yhilin is flourishing. At the bank they even say that business prospects look very good. Still the Yhilin bank is the worst performing bank of all the banks. So will this stay this way? If yes, is there a logical story reason for that I just don't see?

2018-05-12 06:19:59 +0000 UTCSo curing Dari now gives 5 RP, which is nice. But at 78, she still isn't high enough to join my harem [cries] Oh my God, I'm going to have to go back and replay so muuuuch...

2018-05-12 03:39:36 +0000 UTCA war against Estaven is coming but I don't know what to do for preparation. Can't wait for the next update!

2018-05-12 02:41:51 +0000 UTCDangit, should have remembered that. Fixed, though now the group is unbalanced. =/
Sierra Lee
2018-05-12 01:29:27 +0000 UTCIf Kara dies, that plot line simply doesn't occur. As for Dari, the choice now will determine which version of her you see for the rest of the game.
Sierra Lee
2018-05-12 01:29:08 +0000 UTCTrue. I'll fix it on my end, but otherwise just shake my fist in the general direction of the quest journal.
Sierra Lee
2018-05-12 01:28:13 +0000 UTCIn the Dari transformation scene, Qum's sprite has been added, but Simon spawns over her.
DukeLeto7
2018-05-12 01:16:47 +0000 UTCReally like the conversations with Orcent, and with Kara there's now another big development you could potentially completely miss. The situation between them resolved nicely, but now I can't help but wonder what would happen if Kara dies. Good grief trying to get everything in this game is going to give it a ton of replayability. I'm also wondering if the Dari choice is final, or if it's just what you prioritize first.

2018-05-12 00:46:22 +0000 UTCAlso... "2 Ouroboros 2 Furious"... Nice...
DukeLeto7
2018-05-12 00:25:52 +0000 UTCTalking to the SL avatar who offers quest list fixes prior to meeting Xerces causes the Arbiter quest to get a line item on the Fucklord's Incursions prematurely. (Simon needs to get off the Aramite Spice... In this universe we don't violate the Laws of Causality, Young Man!)
DukeLeto7
2018-05-12 00:05:41 +0000 UTCThere was just a discussion of this, but unfortunately in the $5 thread. Basically, NPCs around the world are not going to get a bunch of new dialogue every single iteration. They will change if the player has taken actions - for example, investing enough in Tak'Kan will lead you to see changes around there. If new events or opportunities appear, especially if they given the player an advantage, I will try to signpost them in some way.

2018-05-12 00:00:05 +0000 UTCUpgrades you say well guess it times to dive back in, and look at some statues.

2018-05-11 23:22:06 +0000 UTCSierra, love your stuff but there is one thing that ever since I started playing ch: 4 makes me wanna kill myself... I didn't say anything until now because I don't have an idea on how to resolve this issue but... Some times during the advance of time, some people "around the world" have new things to say, since I am a perfectionist, I tend to revisit a lot and I cannot help but feel very upset when I advance time and forget to talk to someone(And they in fact did have an event)... So... Is there a way perhaps on showing "which part of the map" have new events? Maybe a switch or a glow...? I am complaning but I really don't have a good idea on how to resolve that.
