Pretty much the harem system in a nutshell. As tanto said the carriage is the king moving around from place to place nonstop. It seems as the game goes on and we obtain more characters the carriage begins to move towards our units locations and when it enters the same space with one or many of our female generals she or they are automatically inducted into the harem. The only way to get them back is to negotiate and bargain with the king. However, each time a heroine is returned, the king's dissatisfaction rises and if it gets too high he refuses to part with the heroines anymore.
Double Damn for if we cannot even touch the girls (no chance or word on that?). If that's so why bother putting them in the harem ourselves? It's a waste time and resources.
Triple Damn if there is no rebel option.
A would be a pity though. Good art, good mechanics but lousy implementation if so.
They're forced into the harem, probably threatened by the king.
Sadly I doubt there'll be a rebel option, Makura cover games are pretty much all NTR-heavy with maybe a single "oh, you manage to avoid all that...fine, here's your one happy scene"
So their statement of being able to avoid it was just through negotiations which may and most likely will fail. Quadruple Damn.
Assuming the king only induct heroines into harem at town, you can potentially just move them around different towns as he approaches, or sending them to attack/retreat mid way repeatedly if it's a one-way road
If he does it as soon as he touches them tho...time for some Benny Hill music and lots of 'kiting' (let's hope his carriage also doesn't move faster than normal units, that'd be extra suck)
Well, there IS one hope to this tho, the title.
Assuming as part of the plot it's revealed Leane have the right to be the ruler and she starts her own country, then that'd essentially be the rebel option we need to say fuck that king (well, not an 'option' since it'd be part of the story)
Then again, here's my evil side argument to this
The king will attempts to get Leane into harem asap, and if she's already NTR'd by the time you reach that point, she simply accepts being the King's wife instead of starting her own country, essentially giving you an early 'bad end'.
Good news and bad news from the blog people.
Good news: Though they had a bit of trouble, they're going to upload the updated demo they released at Comiket onto the website tomorrow, which will have functioning harem screen.
Bad news: Game is likely not to be released before spring.
They were in the first one, other than the very early units that couldn't change jobs to anything useful. The only units worth using in the end were the final magic knights or whatever the job was and the thief girl's sabotage command. Everything else was just fodder against the demon and final boss units. The reverse may occur in the 2nd though as it sounds like the major characters will have powerful skills, while the generic units not so much.Or just use the male characters and hope they're actually useful for once.
I don't know why they'd take a solid concept and then piss everyone off with the whole king business. If the devs want to discourage turtling, then have income decrease if you don't take over an territory for too long or have elite enemy units spawn or something. Having a mechanic that can take key units taken away from you 'just because' is not how you make a strategy game.
does any one happen to have a link to this teams DLSITE? i'm interested in seeing the work they have done besides these 2 games.
yeah, i don't want this one to be as buggy as the first game. man, i was pretty damn amazed i was able to finish it with all the crashes and things i had to do to avoid the game crashing. it was like an extra handicap mode rather then bugs. "can't take this unit to this place or it will crash", "don't let this person enter battle or it will crash".

sgb3 said:As many said, this just creates pointless micromanagement where the player moves their female units around to avoid the king entirely. If they allow the king to steal them even when moving around the map, it's just going to lead to the player not even bothering to use them.
Wait a minute. That sound like the heroine is captured even when she meets the king outside village/town/castle. If that's the case I will really be disappointed.
Confirmed. Just finished the trial any form of contact the king makes with the heroines leads to them being captured.Wessex said:Wait a minute. That sound like the heroine is captured even when she meets the king outside village/town/castle. If that's the case I will really be disappointed.
