Alicesoft/Rance General

Thanks

It's the same artist so obviously the art is the same.

Ramius best girl.
Silent hottest girl

That was poorly worded from me, I know it's the same artist but I just mean when I see it makes me think that there's no homura-like character in a H game that's all

wait until Evenicle II

Looks like Shizuka and Isoroku get the views

Eh, the faces are too squishy for me. It makes characters look too young and it ruins it. Some of the more mature-looking girls like Silent are good though.
Also, Aster has no chance of ever reaching Rance levels of infamy, even if they end up pulling off his character development well.
It'll be popular, sure, but nothing more.

I also prefer the 03 and IX art

...

holy shit why is the rance lore so goood?
ontology wailing really sets the mood for the tragic scenes; I really want to play KR again now need to get the FORTUNE ending

He's Sparn

I know, I just found the Kichikuou cover pose eerily evocative of Murata.

...

Is this what Miracle is normally like?

[X] Dance

>The majority of Daiteikoku fan art on Pixiv is Akiyama/Tougou's daughter stuff
Did not see that coming at all. I assumed there'd be more Retia.

...

Frankly, i don't care at all for an Evenicle sequel. The whole "lets go to different dimensions" thing just isn't very compelling to me.

Well I'd hope that it's about fixing what Felton managed to point out was incorrect without going extremist and Aster learning to think for himself

Well it should progress in that direction considering they party was contemplating on Felton's words in the epilogue

Yeah it's what I'm interested in about Evenicle.

The other world fragments just provides for new areas to explore. And I enjoyed the different regions of Evenicle anyway

>not even best girl in her own game

Well it's not like the main girl being the best girl in the game happens often

Playing Sengoku Rance for the first time.

So I conquered Ashikaga and Hara and declared war on Tokugawa. I'm having trouble dealing with their counterattacks.

Also, wasn't expecting a two front war with Tenshi. I'm getting fucked in the ass right now, especially with the riots piling up.

Did I fuck up? Should I go back and declare war on someone else?

Tokugawa is going to be pretty strong, you can capture most of the racoon dogs though, the riots are actually not that hard to deal with, one okay troop should be plenty.

You could reload but I think playing through a disaster can be fun.

I think I'm going to restart. I don't have enough troops to attack and defend twice. Plus, I'm pretty sure all my guys are shit cause I have no idea how leveling works.

Is there an ideal order of who I should declare war on?

Tokugawa should normally wait until either Mukests or Tanegashima.

Basically you kill Tokugawa over multiple turns.

But just focus on killing Tenshi Sect for now

Post your roster

Post your roster

If you're in big trouble don't be afraid to give up minor castles.
Only the last castle of a province decides ownership

This is the natural course of a first playthrough.

Just let them take everything but the last one. Keep attacking them. Once you conquer them the ownership of everything else will flip back to you

I know, but I'm terrible at this game.

Basically starting guys and like 3 foot soldiers.

What, what the fuck. The Mori's gonna attack me too?

>The Mori's gonna attack me too?
If you get next to them they'll either attack you or force one of the smaller countries next to them to attack you.

I fucked it up in first one too. Why are you not raising your troop count? 27k gold and stuff to invest it seems quite a waste of money.

>Why are you not raising your troop count?

I have no idea. I thought the cost at the bottom indicates how much more increasing troops is gonna cost me.

I'm trying to read up on how the game mechanics work but the wiki skims over a lot of things.

That cost there is the National Power cost for the unit i believe.

By how much more I mean National Power.

Also, I noticed that my troop count is going up and I don't know why.

Your troops get very slightly bigger after each battle, how much depends on what type they are.

There's a fuckton of Retia, I don't know how you are searching.

Every time you win a battle some number appear on top of your units. Those are new troops that they acquired from participating in the battle.

And you reinforcements from Zeth I see

You're not actually doing too bad

Still not enough

Even all of Tougous daughter combined doesn't fill a page on pixiv. Retia has pages.

Really? Well that's good to hear

Anyways thanks for the advice everyone. I just managed to blitz Tokugawa and barely beat Ieyasu.

Now to deal with the Tenshi.

recruit Sen as soon as possible

Why do you think I fought the Tokugawa in the first place?

How'd you know about Sen?

I checked out the char sheet before I was even interested in the game.

I know it kills the whole unspoiled experience but it's what got me playing in the first place.

probably from a thread on /a/ or /v/

You have top taste.

Sen a shit

I'll upload the Retia art I have to the HannyBooru.

What does this mean?

ランスシリーズ

I can read Rance and something rii

Rance Series

Done, the Booru was invaded by nazis.

Thanks

Currently dumping my Shizuka folder.

Finally realised that it has an automatic tracker for duplicate images so I might just go ahead and try and upload more than just my Shizuka file

...

I need to find this doujin

>fun book

What did he mean with this?

...

>I've updated the pastebin to include the Sengoku Rance points guide faq
You've put it in a bit of a weird place. For consistency, wherever it does get put, it should be in the same place as the 'Sengoku Rance Hacking Guide'.

>Playing Sengoku Rance for the first time.
Fucking hell, there's so many new people.

> I'm getting fucked in the ass right now, especially with the riots piling up.
You don't need to waste moves to stop the riots, they'll trigger at the end of your turns and at most only one can happen per turn. You don't even need a good unit to beat them, almost anyone will do.

>Did I fuck up? Should I go back and declare war on someone else?
Tokugawa is ambitious, but you've not fucked up by any means.

> I don't have enough troops to attack and defend twice
Who says that you have to? Let your enemies take a little bit of ground so you can focus your troops on the offence.

Rance needs more troops, otherwise I don't see anything alarming, although I should probably inform you that Rizna, Hara Shouji and the generics that you've recruited are generally seen as shit, although there's no harm in keeping them, particularly given that you're playing on the lowest difficulty.

Also, are you on a non-Jap locale? 'Commanders m24/26' isn't normal.

>I'm trying to read up on how the game mechanics work but the wiki skims over a lot of things.
Do tell, I'll be doing some more work on it soon.

>Anyways thanks for the advice everyone. I just managed to blitz Tokugawa and barely beat Ieyasu.
Success!

I'm about to fix up that whole Hacking Guide part.

Some stuff from last thread:

I'd still like a moonspeaker for >5 Stars no bonus, no foot soldiers and a 30 turns speedrun. Can you take the challenge user?
> I'm not sure if any route other than KTM can be beaten (or on a bonusless run, even entered) in under 30 turns.
So, I've thought about this more overnight. I think I might've been wrong, maybe I'll test this later, but here's an idea.

For the sake of our new players, I've spoilered the rest of this post.

Conquer Ashikaga->Pop Oda's gourd->Conquer Iga->Feed monkey->Conquer Tenshi Sect->Hopefully the border you have with Akashi will make them declare war before turn 30, vassal them->You can now enter the True or Isoroku route.

Although that's just my attempt at entering a route before turn 30. Actually beating a route is a whole other issue:
Ran isn't an option for obvious reasons.
Isoroku is probably impossible, even ignoring some of the more obvious stuff, according to the wiki, it takes like 25 turns for Keikoku to even be introduced.
Kenshin might be an option, but I'm worry about if you can even conquer Uesugi by turn 30. Nevermind entering the race... maybe I'll try it.
True is the only one that I can see as theoretically possible and even then you'd probably have to beat the game without finding the lemons for Miki, which would mean that you've have to somehow survive Shikibu's extreme attempts to protect Africa. Yeah, that'll be a fucking tough one, but at least it may be possible, although the turns spent waiting for the Demon Army to even appear will be a major set back.

...

Ok, yeah - it's not possible in True, even when I was hacking for autowins, I couldn't break 5 gourds until turn 26 (a lot of events need to happen before certain numbers of broken gourds can be reached).

I'll try Kenshin, but if that doesn't work, the challenge, as written, isn't just hard, it's impossible.

Dumped my Shizuka folder onto the Hannybooru.

We now have over 1000 images (1024) with over 300 tagged with Shizuka.

No excuses for not having images to bump with for the birthday edition thread at the end of the month.

Now that I know there is a duplicate image checking mechanism I'll dump my other Alicesoft folders this month.

As for now. It's time to sleep

Here's the biggest problem with the challenge. Gourd mechanics are weird, Ashikaga has been conquered since like turn 5 and their gourd still hasn't broke.

Success!

Looks like I forgot an important detail from the wiki (apparently turn 23 is the earliest that you can enter Kenshin), but fuck it. Let's see if Kenshin can be beat in 6 turns.

Is there a way to have Rance know where Sill is imprisoned?
The player knows where she is, but only because of events.

I assume you're talking about KR. I think that after conquering the territory where she's imprisoned he hears that there's a prison in the city and checks it out or something like that.

A new Kichikuou player?

RIP Annis

Yeah. After conquering it he says that someone told him that she was there. But i wanted to know if there was something that made him aware of her location previous to that.

No, i'm not a "new" KR player. It still is the second time i'm playing it.
This time i won't kill her. Maybe.

It's not mentioned. He probably had Maris investigate in each Helman city he conquered since he knew she was in one of them if alive.

>Looks like I forgot an important detail from the wiki (apparently turn 23 is the earliest that you can enter Kenshin), but fuck it. Let's see if Kenshin can be beat in 6 turns.
Once again, spoilered for the new folk.

Ok. It's impossible. Firstly I think that the wiki means that you can't enter the route until turn 24, but I'll assume that you can actually enter it on 23.

Enter on 23, lose all actions due to the entry.
Turn 24, lose all actions due to Xavier.
Turn 25 - you now have 5 turns to beat the race, exorcise Nobunaga and defeat Orochi.

Me being me, to prove the impossibility of all this, I hacked and won the race on what would be turn 26 (I misclicked and ended the would be turn 25 when I was trying to get Kenshin to win the route in a single turn, by then she had 66 points), aside from causing hilarious sequence breaking, it did what I wanted it to. On what would be turn 29, the Demon Army became fightable and I banished them, putting me again on 0 fans.

So, turn 30? It's fucked, you don't find out where Xavier's gone until the end of the turn, so you can't stop him in time - the challenge, as written is impossible.

Pic related - notice how Xavier is in the 'Demon Army Base' before he's even conquered Shimazu.

...

>there are people who cosplay as eroge character.

Why not? Shizuka's design is pretty tame and cute.

...

Mostly because of what the characters themselves imply makes cosplaying as them strange.

Well beauty of cosplaying porn characters is you don't have to tell anyone where you're from, and anyone who calls you out on it would have to admit they follow porn games enough to recognize the character.

It's not like people that do know about them won't feel invited to harass the cosplayer.

I wonder if a Kanami cosplayer would understand if i raised my hand to her showing three fingers

Japanese event cosplayer probably would.

On my first playthrough, Sill was turned into a cow at the time when Shizuka left to duel Ragarl, so I ended up with Annis.
My first playthrough of Kichikuou was a beautiful mess.

>Reading the wiki page about Foot Rot
Serves me right for steamrolling through VI without a knowledge of moon. I assumed he was some minor thug guy.

He basically is a minor thug guy. The secondary Pentagon guys appear like once each. They all get a decent bit of backstory and characterization though, which is cool.
Steamrolling through VI seems kind of pointless. Did you miss out on all of the sidequests?

I'm kind of impressed you even beat it, let alone had the drive to stumble through it.

Seriously.
The H scenes in KR are very well written. Too bad they are short.

That one wehre Leila tells Rance that she loves Rick and he insists to do it one last time, him complaining all the time and Leila moaning. FUCK
