Suggestions for squad leaders


I'm currently working on changes for the warmap battle system, mainly  the change of the unnamed units to squads, which are each lead by a  unique leader. This will also remove the "class" system and instead the  squads can be equipped with weapons, and the weapons will define what  used to be the "class".

For the first 6 squads (normal soldier,  heavy armor, pikemen, cavaliers, archers and mages) I want to make new  characters to be their leaders, so that no matter what choices you make  or how far you've advanced other events, you'll always have these 6 from  the start.   Since these 6 are completely new characters, it gives me  the chance to gather some wishes and feedback to base their appearance  and characters on. In other words, you can say what you'd like to see  for these squad leaders.

You can make general suggestions, for  example I have "scars", "muscular", "glasses", "flat-chest", "piercings"  and "major body tattoo" as keywords on my list. The characters should  consist mostly of human (as that fits best to members of military of the  previous king) and they should fit to the 6 "classes" that I need to  fill. Clothes don't really matter, as they may not get full body CGs.  I'm not sure about it, though. :D

Posting images of characters you think could fit is fine,but please don't spam  dozen of images, select a few good examples.

im still patients (i dont know other feelings) but this is very long time since last update, almost 2 month, and still no update anymore. 


well, if you not done yet, maybe you can telling us how far you've achieved, like such as what percentage of progress or problem is found, let us know every week, so we will not feel bored or run out of patience

I know that the time for the current update is unusually long. It's so long that I got asked about the next update on pretty much any page the game is on, and had a drop in patron numbers for the first time. It wasn't planned to take this long, but the battle system is rather complex and I encountered a bunch of problems while making it. But the complex part is done, and I hope to finish the update soon now.

I made some posts about the development progress of the update on discord, which is usually the best place to stay up-to-date and hear about the release date of the next update first.
Renryuu discord server: https://discord.gg/A79WrBq

The last devlog post I made is from yesterday and explains all I have left to do:
(Previous devlogs and posts explained in detail what changes I made for the new battle system, which aren't all explained here.)
"- The battle system seems to be finished. I made the changes for all 4 normal battles and found no issue so far.
- Previously the battles on the overview map appeared after a short dialog with the general at the sleeping chambers (the guy who lets you enter the overview map and is later killed and replaced by Lind). This was changed now. After repairing the old barracks (where you meet Mira), you can meet the first squad leader there. She'll start a quest to gather the other 5 squad leaders and introduce them all to the player. After you've talked with all of them and return to the barracks, the battle system will unlock on the overview map.

- Enemy cavalry units now move 1 tile every turn, until they reach a certain location. This simulates patrols a bit, and also gives enemy cav units an additional tile in their attack range. Normal melee units only have 2 tiles reach, while ranged units will attack within a 3 tile range.
- Moral now affects the crit chance instead of the damage:
Moral 130+ = +4% crit
Moral 100-129 = +2% crit
Moral 71-99 = no effect
Moral 51-70 = 50% crit chance reduction
Moral 0-50 = 75% crit chance reduction
- Moral will also affect the chance of bonus battles to appear. Contrary to before, bonus battles will appear with a certain chance every turn on the overview map, but disappear after a battle. I haven't added them yet, but that's the current plan for them. Bonus battles will have more valuable drops, for example the horses that will allow 5 tile movement for your troops.
- There is no healer yet for your forces. I plan to add one in the following update, but not in the next one. - The balancing is partly just guesswork and will probably have to be twerk based on feedback and testing.

What I still want to do before releasing the update:
- Change buildings like arena, academy, command center, and so on, which were related to the previous battle system and need to be adjusted to the new system.
- Change the overview map research tree, where you previously had research option to "unlock" certain classes for the old battle system. The new research will probably unlock stuff for the new battle system, like better items or equipment for purchase in the armory or shops.
- Random chance of a caravan to appear every turn on the overview map. The caravan will sell items for the new battle system.
- New bonus battles as explained above.
- Revolt. Battles can appear when the happiness of your people is too low. Greatly increases upkeep per turn until you either ended the revolt by force or increased the happiness far enough. - Resources like recruits, silver, or runes need new usage now that you don't need them to refresh the troops of your units. (In the new system, all squads are automatically healed after a battle.)
- The tutorial needs to be corrected, to fit to the new battle system.

In theory, all those things don't take very long, so I might be able to finish the next test version within next week and make the upload for or during next weekend. But no promises. ;) "

How about a "sadistic/psychopath loli"? Someone who is loyal and only listen to the MC. Have her act cute around us but merciless in the battlefield. Someone who will say stuff like "will you please kill yourself for me, onii-chan?" to the enemy. With a scene of her singing a children's song while slowly torturing someone to death. Show a CG of her covered in blood while smiling cutely as she asks us to compliment her and pat her in the head...

Okay that turned dark really fast....

I don't know if a character like that will fit or anything, especially as a squad leader.

Maybe as a new party member or something? Heck you can even make her one of the children after the time skip.

It's up to you whether you want her as a "little sister type" or a "daughter type". But I think a daughter type will clash with Kayelinth, especially if you put her in the "present time" before the time skip.

So what do you think? 

i can't wait for the next update :D

what percentage of progress has been made, 

SO, when the next update will coming? it was almost 4 weeks since last update.


Just asking not complient

how long does it take to have children? i was playing for 36 hours and have lovey-dopey with all girls, and the girls was pregnant (the heart color under character was changed from black to pink)

I consider it impossible to give even a vague percentage, as I have no idea how long some steps will take and what problems I'll encounter. :D But here is a status post I made on discord a few days ago, maybe that'll help you to get an idea:


Status of the warmap battle changes:
Quite a few things still need to be done, but the visuals and core systems are mostly ready. That's why, despite the big amount of unfinished parts in this list, the system is already on a good way.
I plan to finish all features with the 6 first squad leaders for the next update, and then add the remaining characters in the next update. This should also help to prevent connected bugs from copying events.

- New overview for all squads, with changeable weapons, armor, horses, and upgrades you can buy for them: Done (for the first 6 squad leaders - See screenshot)
- Movement system: Now supports up to 5 AP, and you can walk multiple times without the blue tiles disappearing (as long as you have APs left)
- Check for enemies: Done
- Damage calculation: Partly done. A simple version for testing works, but now I have to add all bonuses and special effects.
- Deal damage and animation: Not done.
- Heal spells: Not done.
- New stats for all squads: Done.
- Visuals for the new squad leaders: Not done. I made temporary character sprites and face images for testing, but they'll get replaced once the CGs are done.
- New events to introduce the battle system and the squad leaders: Not done.
- Experience system: Not done. Level-ups will increase the stats of the squad and fully heal it.
- Abilities for squads: Not done.
- Usable items: Not done.
- Chests and loot drops: Not done.
- Turn end to refresh AP and enemy action: Not done.
- Auto-Heal after battle: Not done.
- New map start/win/lose events: Not done.
- Change to overview map for the battles: I'll most likely remove the troops moving to the battle for some turns, and instead make all battles start instantly. When starting the battle, you can pick a difficulty, which will tell you an estimated level which you need to beat it. This choice will affect the stats of the enemies in the battle.
- Destroyable barricades: Not done.
- Probably a dozen more things that I forgot: Not done.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About children: You can flag women as pregnant, but that doesn't affect anything yet. My plan is to show the pregnancy and children during and after the time skip event in the main story. But since I need to finish everything in the "current time" first, before starting with the time skip, it'll still take a very long time before children will be made. And since you can have a lot of children, it'll most likely take a long time to make them all as well. XD

ryen, does irinlia the succubus have a good route? if there is, can you reinstall the system reset at the watermill event? Because I can't bear to see a tortured woman :(

I am relly like muscular

ah RYEN, i have a opinion (again) : for the leader

did you know about  GOBLIN? in mythology, goblins known as monster sex, and always captured woman/girl for place to make more their races.

I have idea, can you make a squad leader that have story like aleah (racoon maid), firts, RYEN and his companion take a request in ALDYIN for destroy/eliminate goblin village, and then they (RYEN and companion) found secret path that leads to secret dungeon, in the dungeon they found too many captured girls (with blank eye and goblins sperm in all over their body), TREY called Central soldier to take the girls to ALDYIN, and then, RYEN and his companion find a way to Goblin king throne, in this throne they must fight all Goblin soldiers and kill the Goblin king. 

After Goblin king die, RYEN and his companion find a prison behind the throne, in this prison they found a HUMAN/ELF who was already very scared (still pure).

Then RYEN began talking with her (i dont have idea for dialog) after this scene, RYEN take to ALDYIN castle and make her become maid, after several days, RYEN caught the girls are doing sword technique, after this RYEN send her to LIND, after more several days  in the RYEN desk works, RYEN  received a report that the woman/elf had done a very good job, has a great leadership spirit, and RYEN ordered to call and raise the woman/elf position.

Monster girl general(s)? like maybe the ones you raise to 100 first that have unique looks and they get new cgs when you hit a milestone? or something like that... 🥺👉👈

ah RYEN, i have a opinion, can you make at least 1 female that have flat chest?

(+2)

That's planned. ;)

As an assman, I second this suggestion.

Hey RyenSaotome could you please add a reset option for Lace when her scene is done,i'm still on her bad path and it was so frustrating to restart the game from the beginning.and could you please add sex scene for Knocky and Elly,i've waited long for them to get the scene

Also it will be great if you added Lady Akira,Lind,and Lace into squad leader selection,because there's 15 maximum squad on the vanguard so why not?

(+1)

if you didn't want bad/good scene for lace, just save the game before her training




who? just remain 4 girls (the one is in the part of grey)

how to get their scene?

(+1)

The girl next to Lielle is Maid Linda, just go to Headmaid Ryia in the secret room to get the CG Scene.

The girl next to Zady is Maid Mary, to get her scene you need to have Elly in your team, Then talk with her in the throne hall. After that, go to Headmaid Ryia to get the CG Scene.

The girl between Irinlia and Sara is Lace, for now the CG Scene for the good path not completed yet. 


Sorry for bad english XD

I have a idea for the squad leaders (just types) :

in mythology, there are several types of creatures that have legends or great stories in several types of troops :

Soldier <- is almost filled by human

Archer <- Elf

Heavy <- Dwarf

Pikemen <- Human / Half-human(fast running animal) / Goblin (maybe develop can make story for goblin)

Cavalry <- Centaur

Mage <- pure blood Demon (maybe develop can make spesial story for a pure blood demon that live with human)

Healer <- Angel

for almost a year, when i activate the tsubaki quest to go meet her father, the screen goes black and i hear the music but cannot continue. I must exit the game. was hoping this would be fixed in an update. anyway I can get a current completed save file. except for her questline I have completed everything else. 

(+1)

What exactly do you do before the screen goes back? Does it happen when you enter a certain map? Or during a certain point of a dialog? Have you tried to keep pressing enter (as the scene might continue even if it's not visible)? What system and version do you play on?
Have you tried to re-download the full game? Sometimes bugs happen when people use update files but skip updates and are missing files because of it,

I click ready to go to the scene to meet her father. then the screen goes black. I can hear the music. I have pressed enter repeatedly many times. I am on the latest windows release. I update regularly, complete the new content and then wait for new updates. I copy my saves over each time.  I have been playing for a couple of years now. I just can't continue tsubaki's quest line.  Only issue I have run into. I don't want to start over because I have invested probably hundreds of hours into playing the game. The weird thing is, I have played that scene before. about a year ago after an update, suddenly the game acted as if I had never progressed tsubaki's story line. I kept holding off on commenting about it because I assumed a new update would correct the error. For all I know it did and my save file is just corrupt somehow.

Probably a switch or variable of Tsubaki's event got changed by a bug. You can send me your save file to Naughty-Netherpunch@web.de and I'll take a look at it and correct the issue.
I only need the save with the saveslot number in which you want me to fix the problem.

Here are my ideas. I suck at coming up with names so I’ll leave that decision to you. I also added their background story. Hope you'll like it.

1. Soldier leader:
    Appearance: Middle aged swordsman with rugged body and a broad sword.
    Personality: An honest man who believes in the virtue of hard work and hates magic.
    Background: Once merely a contended farmer, the monster outbreak that destroyed his village made him realized trouble will come to him whether he likes it or not. As a result he joined central military academy to train. His hard work finally paid off as his valiant performance was recognized by royalty and he was promoted to commander of swordsman. He’s often at odds with mage leader because he believes true strength comes with down to earth hard work. The idea that some privileged jerks could produce mountains of gold with a single snap or could dictate the life of thousands because they spent their childhood sitting on their arses reading the spell books no one could afford is absolutely preposterous for him. He believes magic is polluting this world and corrupting peoples mind.

2. Heavy leader:
    Appearance: Bulky full plate armor that covers every skin and a flail.
    Personality: Rarely talks, likes to act “tough”, actually a masochistic woman.
    Background: When you’re about to get hurt, Heavy leader will always come to tank the hit for you. He’s respected by many and gains a nickname “stone keep” because he stands as tall as a wall and talks as little as a rock. Little do they know that underneath that armor is actually a woman. She doesn’t talk much is because female voice is a huge giveaway and she’s still learning how to act like a man without being too over the top. And no, it’s not honor that drives her to take hit for others, she’s just a hopeless masochist who likes pain. Can’t blame her though, years of being Dorganic slave had turned her mind upside down.

3. Spearman leader:
    Appearance: based on Spanish Tercio Pikeman.
    Personality: A pragmatic modern military reformist who unfortunately born in a fantasy world.
    Background: Spearman leader comes from the same country as Akai (the steampunk girl in work area), a far away empire that values science over magic. Frustrated that most countries treats him as a lunatic, he comes to the supposedly open-minded Central. The spear formation he trained performed so well that the higher ups are willing to overlook his ridiculous transgressions like the time he demanded the blacksmith to abandon all melee weapons except spears for the benefit of “streamlined production” or the time he requested a year worth of budget to buy costly guns so he can try his genius “pike-and-shot” formation. He hopes someday these medieval plebeians can finally understand his “modern war” mind set. For now though he’ll accept his theories are too ahead of his time and sticks to training the weapon that has dominated the battlefield since the dawn of history: spear!

4. Cavalier leader:
    Appearance: based on Polish Winged Hussar
    Personality: Animal lovers, religious, lover of Healer leader.
    Background: Cavalier leader used to be a renowned paladin in Begus army. When he’s not busy defending the will of the god he either went back to his stable to take care of his horses, entered the forest to play with eagles, or visited a specific church to both prey and meet his lover. Everything changed when he refused to join the assault on the beastman village Pumumu, which angered the church who promptly stripped off his rank. Disillusioned, he fled to Central and was relieve to find that while racism still exist, it’s nowhere near the level of other countries. More importantly he’s allowed to believe whatever religion he wanted! With the new found faith he now serves the army of Central and fights a new crusade, ready to gallop into battlefield with eagle wings on his back!

5. Archer leader:
    Appearance: based on Mongolian archers with nomadic clothing and a composite bow.
    Personality: Honors nomadic tradition and nature but hates elves.
    Background: Archer leader’s heritage can be traced all the way back to the time when several tribes first invaded western continent. While other tribes settled down and founded the current kingdom of Dorgania, their horde moved into Central in search of lush pasture. Their time to shine came as the elves waged “war of Liberation” (mentioned by the old man in blue villa) and the military were in dire need of sharpshooters. The hit & run tactic of the horde proved just as effective as the elves’ thus the military was even willing to invite the current khan of the horde to train their archers despite his “barbarian” bloodline. He holds grudges against elves not because he used to fight them but because they stole all spot light away. Whenever people want an expert of archery they always prefer elves. No one cares about archers from other species anymore! All their hard work and culture get ignored simply because they don’t have long ears! When the new king fights the battle of racism on elves, our archer leader fight his own battle of racism to prove that elves aren’t the only species who can use bows.

6. Mage leader:
    Appearance: An old man with long white beard in wizard uniform. (Gandalf)
    Personality: A wise elder, but will become paranoid when it comes to national security.
    Background: Mage leader’s family has been serving Central for generations. They had made sure every generation will grow up in the best environment and receive the best magical education. The current head of family, our mage leader, had realized magical knowledge is a valuable national asset and thus spies from other countries would no doubt try to steal it, especially that all-seeing all-knowing Amagal. Thus he’s been refusing to share his family secret to the public. This of course raised suspicion and criticism, especially from soldier leader. Whenever soldier leader called him “corrupted aristocrat” he often countered that learning magic is also honest hard work and he just want to ensure Central wouldn’t falls behind magical arms race with other countries.

7. Healer leader:
    Appearance: A young girl wearing white robes with white wings on her back.      Personality: A kind girl with everything angel except her species. Lover of Cavalier leader
    Background: Healer leader dreamt about a world filled with peace and kindness so it’s only natural for her to join Begus church. Since she’s actually a dove birdwoman she had to disguise as an angel to avoid trouble. Luckily she met a paladin who’s willing to accept who she really is and they fell in love. As the paladin fled to Central and became the cavalier leader she followed as well with the excuse of “spreading religion”. Times spent with her lover made her realized peace without strength is impossible. So when the new king is recruiting healer squads she immediately volunteered. Both to protect her lover and to help him vanquish the evil.

(+1)

I even have some ideas on special events with squad leaders!

1. Soldier leader: He will show his gratitude to Ryen because despite being the king, Ryen is willing to get his own hand dirty to help common folks. After some quests he’ll teach his fellow academy students (Ryen & Tsubaki) new physical attack and increase party’s physical damage. 


2. Heavy leader: She’ll reveal her true gender and masochism at some point. After Brad& Ryoko consulted her mental scars as former slaves (and Ryen satisfied her masochistic “need”) she’ll improve Brad, Ryoko and Trey’s ability to tank damage and increase party’s defense.

3. Pikeman leader: He’ll enthusiastically chat with Elly about firearm warfare and other modern military theories. After helping him with resources and field testing he’ll teach Elly new tactics and increase party’s evasion.

4. Cavalier leader: Because of his wing fetish he’ll get along with Ryen and Kayelinth. He’ll request “borrowing” Kayelinth and Vampire because he and his lover want to experience how raising children feels like. After that he’ll teach them some creative use of their animal traits and increase party’s agility.

5. Archer leader: At first he’ll be at odds with Mirel because he wanted to end elve’s monopoly on archery. After Ryne finished some quests to ease the tension he’ll accept Mirel and teach her new tricks on archery & animal spirit magic and increase party’s accuracy.

6. Mage leader: After some quests about espionage and improving security by developing magic locks with the help of Chiyo and Sandra. He’ll feel safe enough to teach them new spells and increase party’s magic attack.

7. Healer leader: She will admire Mira because she’s been dreaming of becoming an angel herself. After some quests about humanitarian aid she’ll teach Mira how to keep everyone alive and increase party’s magic defense.

i have a question : how to get mia (manticore female soldier sex scene?)

Not yet.

I have a question: When we first enter policy page "female soldiers" was banned by default which means our previous king didn't allow female soldiers, not to mention commanders right? That would mean we're supposed to only suggest male names & appearance right?

Or maybe we can have female commanders hiding her gender or even have a special event about she reveals her gender once we allow female soldiers. Could be pretty cool.

(1 edit)

Haha, sound interesting, how about her char? Tsundere, BB, Tatoo?

and you have a walktrhough? i need one please :) (link)

So I'm thinking of 3 male and 4 female leaders.

1. Soldier - Name: Bristol, male, brown short hair, scarred face (proof of being the vanguard), lightly armored, uses sword and shield. Personality: battle-crazed, glory-seeking, womanizer.


2. Pikemen - Name: Wisteria, female, blonde long ponytail, blue eyes, tall, bikini armor, big tiddies (lol), uses flag spear. Personality: righteous, man-hater.


3. Heavy Armor - Name: Hubert, male, fully bearded, stocky, fully armored, uses morning star. Personality: secretly a coward, a brown noser, greedy.


4. Archer - Name: Criselda, female, long green hair, violet eyes, medium tiddies, hides that she is an elf by wearing bandana to tie her long ears and hide with hair, uses crossbow (to be different), Personality: secretive, gentle, sisterly.


5. Cavalier - Name: Eustace, male, long blonde hair, very handsome face, armored, uses spear. Personality: easily the most hateable character, so full of himself, a womanizer, thinks the world revolves around him, makes replacing him not heavy on your heart.


6. Mage - Name: Marissa, female, medium purple hair, bigger than Elly tiddies, wears witch attire, uses a huge staff. Formerly Amagalian and Magic Spirit's student. She worked as a maid and taught the maids of Aldlyn magic before becoming a mage soldier. Personality: Airheaded


7. Healer - Name: Magdalene, female, white hair, wears nun attire, has mole under her right eye, eyes always closed, medium sized tiddies. Grew up in Begus and moved to Central. Personality: human supremacist, hates demons (Ryen even moreso), she refused to serve Ryen initially, hence healers not being available at the start. Secretly a dominatrix.



I hope one of these gets through or my name as a story writer will be finished. lol.

All humans?
It's a very good list, but I think need a variation of species like, Troll, Elf, Undead, Dwarf, Werewolf (Or any anthro), you know. It's just a suggestion. 

The Archer leader hides she is an elf to avoid racism. It fits to the plot and situation. 

I'm trash with names, so I'm just going to suggest traits. It'd honestly make sense for the heavy armor leader to be naturally muscular; plus, I just like muscles. I'd also like a scar, but it probably wouldn't make sense for someone who wears heavy armor. I'm thinking that the breasts should be on the small side, but not exactly flat as well. For the personality, I was thinking of someone direct and cheerful; one of the "I like you. Wanna become my husband?" while grinning types. Anyways, this was honestly kind of embarrassing to type, and I'm not sure if you'll use these traits, but these are my suggestions.
