RPGM Noblesse Oblige

160k words of content! This is literally a full effing length fantasy novel's worth of content. >_>; Four new party members divided across routes! Significant new section of the story! Major religious event! Very significant new combat section Seven new achievements for those playing on Steam! Two (unfinished) intimate scenes for those with the patch! (These currently only have a SFW version; the full version, along with the ability to view old scenes, will likely be added in v0.19) New art for Lorena by the ever-excellent Mimo! Note that the old art can be restored using the system menu if desired. This will be moved to a patch next version. ??? (You'll find out. Maybe. Depends on your route :X) = Lore/Content Renamed the "Professional Soldiers" investment to "Recruiting Mercenaries." Adjusted the baseline value for King Antiochus's Army Quality to 100. Adjusted the baseline value for Alivaen Support such that 100 represents King Antiochus's level of support following Athanasia's Folly. Updated the Velonia continent map. = UI Improvements Added the decision tracker to Alexander's notebook. Added the bust viewer to Alexander's notebook. Adjusted the configuration of the relationship screen slightly. If a character's current gear for a slot is locked, they will not show as eligible when purchasing new gear in a shop. = Balance Changes Falconstrike now only adds an extra 25% damage to Ligaea's melee critical hits. Adjusted where the Twilight route achievement is granted (Note: Progress on this achievement has been reset for all players as a result). Increased the difficulty of the combat section at the end of Chapter 16. Blind now prevents the cooldown on Overwhelm from being reset if a skill misses or is parried. = Bugfixes Fixed a bug where talking to everyone for the Merchant Quarter quest before talking to Michael before turning in would not award Darics. Unfortunately, I cannot fix this one retroactively. Fixed various typos and other minor issues. Various minor fixes that I honestly can't remember any of right now. I'm sure I did some though. :X

I made a pass through the whole game, especially improving the Avalonia Ruins, but also many minor issues throughout the whole game! = UI Improvements - Added the option to let buffs and debuffs tile up to three rows on character portraits. This can be turned off in the system menu to restore prior functionality if desired. - New functionality to reset consumed items when retrying a fight after losing. - Dyslexic Fonts are now available in the system menu. - Antilag is now always on, as turning it on and off produced additional lag. - Adjusted anti-lag to reduce weirdness with lights at the edge of the screen. - Added clarity to various skill and effect descriptions. - Absorb shields now show the remaining absorb value in the effect description in combat. - Fixate now displays the name of the fixate user in the debuff description. - Added a brief turn-end animation when Ligaea's Falconry skills come off cooldown. = Balance Changes - Calysia now has 2000 MP base - Calysia's MP costs have been changed from a percentage of max MP to a fixed number based on 2000 MP pool. - Full Moon can no longer trigger from a spell made free by Full Moon. - Full Moon can now trigger from Arcane Swiftness and similar effects. - Reduced the cost of Searing Moonlight to 30 SP. - Calysia has a new skill (Mending Ritual) that is only available out of combat and offers cheap healing, - States and buffs that expire based on actions taken will no longer expire when an Instant skill is used with 0 duration left. - Aether Draughts now restore 50% MP when used out of combat. - Retaliate's debuff now only lasts for 1 round as per the skill description. = Lore Adjusted the direction of continents (Solaia is now to the west of Velonia, Velkeriae and Lyonseriae are east). Adjusted various mentions of the time of year for consistency and added mention of the Feast of Caelon in Chapter 6. = Bugfixes Fixed a major issue storing junk data in saved games. Loading ang re-saving a save in v0.16 or beyond should delete this data from your old saves. This issue may have caused save screen lag and lag when the autosave loaded.
