1. Once you get through the tutorial, you unlock your first town.
2. Visit the place once the first time to unlock other places on the next map visit.
3. At the town after tutorial battle, you are supposed to Hire Troops to replenish those you have lost. By troop : gold ratio, the higher the better but there is a variance. Like 8k gold for 20 - 50 axe-pirates. For 'Bandits' in the first town, 5k gold, recommended troop recruitment for that amount is in the 100 something range.
4. Towns have 3 things, 'material market prices', shop items and recruit. Yes, it's annoying that if you visit the shop / recruit it takes up the exploration phase.
5. Inn Service, there are 3 types of 'inn skill levels' and the girls have a favorite skill type and a certain skill level quota that must be reached before they will visit. Furthermore, the more locations you unlock the more girls visit the inn.
6. For ease of gold generated mechanics, there is the big number at the top left in the inn service which will tell you how much gold will be collected at the end of the day. So if the number is 4, it means 400 gold. Unsure how it works but it averages between all 3 of the 'inn skill levels', perhaps having maids or unlocking more locations may affect the level too.
7. You are not supposed to complete it in 1 run. Retry / 'New game+' will keep your troops, gold and materials collected.
However, since a fast game-over usually involves losing all your troops, you be given the tutorial team again along with going through their deaths. If you have less than the default gold, they will give you 5k gold.
Yes, the game is pretty repetitive with what you are meant to do.
Exploration, Inn service, Night Visit, repeat.
At least compared to the developer's previous game Virgin Lode, i got the gist of what to do to get more girls.
Also, the 2nd girl ('thief') will give more materials is a +, though she tends to challenge other girls visiting due to more locations unlocked.
An average run will usually let you get 4-5 maids before an ending around day 58 something? (thats when i got an ending)
Thanks, I was starting a guide, but this removes most the reason for that. Could still use a translation, but at least it's playable now without a ton of trial and error.
