New Domestic Event: Raider attacks
In 0.8.4.1, the MC’s household can be the target of organized raider attacks based on Difficulty settings, city Control and the rumored valuables stored within his walls.

There are a total of seven different groups that can attack, (Red Tigers, Marston street gangs etc) with a varied amount of Strength.

While the household raid event is cleared with just one click, they can potentially have game-changing effects, especially on Grimdark playtroughs. When Ikaanos is burning and raiders are seen on the streets, the importance of a sizeable and well-armed group of Guards cannot be stressed enough.

• These events will never happen if Control is 40+ or if you’re playing on Sandbox difficulty. You can also set “$noraiders = true” if you want to permanently disable the events on Normal+ playthroughs.
• The most well-armed groups have around 120 Strength. If your guard pool value matches that value you’ll be able to repel these attacks with a 99% certainty.
• The event chance % is scaled with Control and the MC’s Power Value. For instance, the raider attack event has a 15% daily risk of happening if Control is 0 and you’re playing on Grimdark Difficulty with a power value below 100. Having a lot of valuables ($1 million+) and a relatively low Power Value further increases these chances.
• A successful raid can take up to 30% of your stored valuables (cash), up to a maximum of $15k.
• A raid, both successful and unsuccessful ones, has a chance to improve your guards’ skills.
• The MC’s *help* value is calculated from his STRENGTH and combat skills.

New quest: Last Relative Chapter 4 (Tier2+)
Last Relative Chp. 4 is a rather small quest that involves the search and acquisition of Stacey McClung. It also lays the groundwork for MOR’s last **grand** quest (Last Relative Chapter 5) which will take the MC and his Followers out on a long adventure.

The main feature of this quest is the ability to acquire a full Story NPC with 150+ renders, a unique profession, special traits and many dialogues.

New random mission generator (Relic Hunting)
Stacey’s unique profession (Relic Hunter) opens up an endless mission generator that can take you out on long and dangerous adventures to all parts of Ikaanos. Hunt for lost pre-Severance relics in deep caves filled with monsters and precious loot or investigate derelict buildings in civilized areas that could house anything from cultists to crazed denaar addicts.

The Relic Hunting framework contains 30,000+ words, 40+ renders, hundreds of unique events and over 200,000 relics, as well as a long list of Easter Eggs and special character dialogues.

Followers at Furry’s
Followers will now take an active part in the carousing and “fun” over at Furry’s tavern.

Weapon specialist traits
Some scripted NPCs now start the game with Weapon specialist traits, which provide extra damage rolls but also a penalty when using weapons that are not within their specialty type.

Wega armor changes

• Increased the WEGA armor repair Science requirement to 50+.
• You now need a Laboratory to repair WEGA armor.
• Quartermasters can now repair WEGA armors if their Quartermaster skill is 80+. Requires Laboratory, 300 nanites and 2 durasteel. The repair is instant (=max soak).

Redhaven Market/resource overhaul

• There’s now an extra resource tab at Redhaven Market.
• Added Leather, Skins and Merchandise as purchasable items at Redhaven Market.
• Replaced the Skin resource pic.

Bathroom overhaul
You’re now able to use the shower even after upgrading your bathroom with a tub.

Threesomes
Added Arizona + Aria as a rendered and scripted (dialogues etc.) threesome set.

Assignment/job overhaul

• The NPC Job pane is now much more browser friendly with improved CSS alignment properties.
• The Assignment arrows have been replaced with icons that sort assignments in “House jobs”, “Stores”, “Away assignments”, “City Properties” and “Colonial Properties”.
• If a single-assignment task is occupied, this is now displayed by a head icon. Hovering over this icon displays who’s actually working where. Same goes for Titles.
• “City Properties” displays workshops and taverns. Clicking on one of them opens up a new assignment option pane which allows you to appoint workers, barkeepers and foremen in a more structured way.
• You can now send off NPCs through the Colonial Properties pane, instead of having to navigate into Actions.

New unique title: First wife
In the multi-religious cauldron that is Ikaanos, it’s common practice for a prominent lord to appoint his First Wife, especially in a household with multiple wives. A First Wife is seen as her Lord’s equal and enjoys many benefits that come with that title.

A First Wife will increase Affection and Happiness and enjoy various salary and skill bonuses for certain assignments.

Other wives with Respect below 30 will however look at your First Wife with jealousy, which might decrease their Affection and Happiness.

New Unique title: Bed Slave
You can now appoint any willing NPC to be your “bed warmer” – she’ll satisfy you either orally (25%) or with her pussy (75%) and acts as an instant gratification provider without the need to use the larger sex frameworks.

The Bed Slave event execute at Conclude Day and involve all sex-related scripts including wear, sexual experience, loads taken, arousal, happiness, affection and semen swallowed. The MC also wakes up with the “Normal craving” status.

Tavern job overhaul
The Tavern assignments have been completely overhauled. When entering the “Jobs & Titles > Properties” section, and after clicking on the tavern you want to assign the active NPC to, you’ll get a choice to either enlist that NPC as a worker, bouncer, performer or barkeeper. The barkeeper job works just like before but the new tavern assignments have some additional features.

Academy work changes (NPCs)
An Academic or Science professor will now increase his or her base salary from The Academy if:

• Academics or Science is 100+ (+$15/day).
• Academics or Science is 120+ (+$25/day).
• Prestige is 50+ (+$5/day).
• Prestige is 150+ (+$15/day).

Scavenger job changes

• Scavengers with Survival 90+ will now bring in more Merchandise loot.
• Scavengers with the Techie trait and Survival 60+ now have a 15% chance to bring in extra stimpacks as loot. Gains from a Techie+Scavenger Trait combo stack.
• Scavengers with the Nerd trait and Survival 60+ now have a 15% chance to bring in artifacts as loot. They can also track down Unique artifacts if that Nerd’s Academy skill is 80+.
• Scavengers with a Health below 10 now receive a noticeable loot amount penalty.

Scavenger risks
All scavengers will now risk injuries during their runs if Control is below 30. Damage is mitigated by combat skills, equipped weaponry, armor and the Survival skill, but also increased if Control drops below 10 and again at 0.

• It’s now important to equip your scavengers with armor and weaponry, and train their combat skills up to at least 40+. The type of armor and weapon also matters and the NPC should also be able to handle it (Great Sword on a 30 STR Lovisa won’t give her any bonuses, for instance).
• On Grimdark difficulty, scavengers risk a -2 DEX/STR/STAMINA/BEAUTY stat drop if their Health drops to -5 or less from a scavenger injury roll.
• On Ironman, an inexperienced and poorly equipped scavenger **risks** getting killed.
• Note that Scavvies won’t be subjected to stat losses and *cannot* be killed on Normal or Sandbox difficulties.

New epic story event: The scourge of Raana
The player now has the option to enable an end game *Dengi invasion event* – both at startup and in the options menu. This event is set to OFF as default.

Once the amount of played days ($days gte $dengi_days) has reached or surpassed the “days” setting, there’s a 20% daily chance of the initial event chain to execute. Once that event chain reaches “The Rise of The Dengi King”, Ikaanos is invaded by a roughly 5,000+ man strong army of monstrous creatures that’ll try to destroy human civilization and enslave its people.

The player can actively try to defeat the dengis, who’re harassing The entire Red River Basin and Kasey’s Park. By fighting his way through the hordes of degenerates all the way to the Dengi King in Bela’s Marsh, the player can also play a direct role in ending the invasion, which provides unique loot and a new trait.

Skyguard is actively trying to fight this monstrous threat, however, and will deplete the dengi warrior count based on a number or factors. Unfortunately, Skyguard will also be depleted. If Skyguard drops below 200 men, and if the king is still alive, the destruction of Ikaanos begins, which immediately ends the game.

The active stance of Skyguard provides an alternative route for a non-combat oriented MC who can aid by providing NPCs and weaponry.

Note that dengi swarms are considered to be a very high-tier enemy. The dengi king is also extremely difficult to take out.

Overhauled debug menu (Tier4+)
The old NPC debug menu has been completely overhauled and now includes the MC and World settings, in addition to a greatly expanded set of variables for NPCs.

New building: Sawmill
The MC is now able to purchase lumber rights at Darkmere, set up a sawmill and harvest wood.

Installing a burner also provides gunpowder (from charcoal).

The sawmill comes with a unique reforestation framework. It can also be converted into a farm once all the trees have been cut down.

New quest: SWG R22
Visit the Drainage pipe in Stokke Hills to start a medium-length adventure that takes you through a fringe-science story with lots of pre-Severance lore and unique rewards.

New location (and quest): Marston Watch Tower
You’re now able to visit an old pre-Severance military installation in Marston Swamps. This location offers a rather long “dungeon crawl” best suited for mid- or well-equipped early-game playthroughs.

After clearing Marston Tower, you’re able to annex it in Fort Sera’s name, if the fortress’ Standing (toward you) is 100+, they have at least 85 men and $100,000 in their treasury.

New location: The Gymnasium (Crow’s End)
There’s now a civilian alternative to The Arena – a gymnasium which hosts Acrobatics’ quarter finals and grand finals on set dates. For over 250 years, many households and great houses have honored the tradition of signing up their top gymnast to these competitions. The MC *can assign* one of his Followers (if that Follower has Acrobatics 80+ and is 14+ years old) to the competition.

Winning a competition is hard – the other participants (found in a new $gympart object container) are actively increasing their skills as well and will try to do anything to win the quarters (once every 50 days) but also the grand finale (once every 200 days).

A winning girl is assigned Prestige (Civilian). A high Gymnastic Rep. increases Influence. *Winning* also gives you a cash and one-time Influence reward, similar to The Arena. Participating in a contest might also increase other skills and trait values, regardless if the girl wins or not.

The chance of winning is determined by Acrobatics, Dexterity, traits, body type, Affection toward the MC and unique NPC bonuses.

New location: Westside Abbey
You’re now able to assign female NPCs as nuns at Westside Abbey. This assignment works similar to The Arena – an NPC is unavailable 24/7 as long as she’s enrolled and costs a daily upkeep ($95). – Westside Abbey increases Discipline, Intelligence, Gardening, Domestic and a long list of other traits. – With enough Catholic Standing, the MC can appoint his enrolled girls to orders that greatly increases the chance of increasing specific traits or skills.

Westside District
Westside’s map has been completely overhauled and are now looking more “in line” with other city maps.

Interrogations (Tier request)
There’s now a 20% chance a captured NPC comes with a special secret. You can interrogate that *out of* the NPC through kind, persuasive words or through threats with the help of a new Interrogation framework. The result might provide skill boosts or mini quests. The missions and who receives the “Secretive trait” are random.

Enslave mercenaries
The MC can now enslave mercenaries (and some paragons) by convincing them to sign an indentured servanthood contract (Talk>Affect>Enslave). While the roll is extremely difficult to succeed, trying to persuade high-Respect, high-Affection, high-Corruption NPCs when Ikaanos is affected by low Prosperity/Control will turn a lot of factors to your favor.

A mercenary/paragon that enters slavery immediately loses his salary.

Forged documents
With enough influence and contacts, you can now frame a slave for a crime he or she didn’t commit, immediately turning them into convicts. Forged documents can be purchased at The Transit Department in The Palace district. Apply a document through Interact > Inventory > Accessories.

Sexual statistics
You’re now able to see how many times you’ve ejaculated in various orifices on each NPC (NPC Menu > Examination). As these variables didn’t exist in earlier versions, they all start at 0, even on legacy saves. You can easily modify them with the help of the console, however.

Overhauled STAMINA regeneration (NPCs)
Instead of a flat 20 Stamina points, all NPCs now recover 10 Stamina points + 1/3 of their Max Stamina. Felix, for instance, with Stamina 80, will now recover 36 Stam. points (instead of 20).

Tongue piercings and overhauled Inventory buttons
Nika’s Clothes now offers tongue piercings. Tongue piercings help propel the MC’s “Cum! state”, adds Beauty and Charisma mods, helps an NPC to improve her oral experience and may display unique texts during oral sex scenes. – A tongue piercing, along with butt plugs, now have icons in the Inventory pane, with corresponding hover over info.

New workshop and tavern caps
With the upcoming factory/mining frameworks, and due to popular demand, the worker cap for Taverns and Workshops has been decreased to 7, +1 foreman (was 10, +1 foreman). This will allow a fully staffed workshop to occupy one single NPC page. – Workshops that are overstaffed in old saves remain unaffected. – Turn this feature off by setting “oldworkshop = true” in the console or savedditor. That’ll allow you to keep the original cap of 10.

Overhauled armor repairs
The armor repair system has been completely reworked. You can now view all owned armors’ current state at The Armor Store and repair them with just one click.

The Academy

• [MC] Increased base income for all held lectures with +$50/day.
• [MC] Doubled the “Academy Disposition” bonuses for incomes from held lectures.
• [NPC] There’s now a 15-age minimum requirement to work at The Academy, regardless of skill or Influence.
• [NPC] Science and Academic professors now have a 10% chance to increase their corresponding skills (cap: 100).

Difficulty changes

• Grimdark: You can no longer assign “away” NPCs (vendor assignments, scavvies, Academy) as Followers between 8 am and 4 pm, thus ending a well-known exploit that allowed you to have sermons and fights all day while still getting cash from Abbot Roo or Nika’s. This is also true for Group assignments. You can also not “Clear” an assignment, set the NPC as a follower and then reassign that NPC between those away hours.
• Grimdark: Using a melee weapon in combat now costs 1 Stamina point, both for the MC and NPCs, down to a minimum of 5.

New weapon: Great axe
The Great Axe is a solid durasteel heavy weapon favored by several Aaesir tribes. It’s available at Imperial Arms in Em city.

• STRENGTH requirement: 100+.
• Power attack bonus: +15 damage.

New armor: WEGA
The Transit department now sells WEGA armor – a PAC (Russian/Chinese) pre-Severance durasteel suit boosted with an internal healing nanite coat.

• Soak: 43.
• Heals 5 health/turn during combat.

Achievements
There’s now a brand new Masters of Raana achievements section in Economy & Influence > Achievements.

New story NPC: Clea Vallas (Av39)
Clea Vallas is a renowned bounty hunter and high-tier warrior NPC with a history and character tied to the current affairs of Ikaanos. This paragon mercenary becomes available after you’ve decided to help Aria (1) or if you sold Aria (2) to The Mastersphere. Her acquisition quest starts in Redhaven if (1) is true. She’s instantly available at The Orient if Aria’s rebellion has been permanently thwarted by the MC (2). While Clea is meant to step in at the first half of Aria’s quest, her *event* executes immediately on legacy saves that’ve completed Aria’s quest, with some texts rewritten to better fit that part of the timeline.

New building: Mine
The MC can now purchase mining rights at the Town Hall in Hamilton Sq. or conquer mines from powerful warlords. Doing this enables him to build mines and extract valuable metals from mined ore. A mine works similar to Zapin Fields, with an assigned foreman and permanently deployed workers.

You can read more about Mines here.

Prospecting
“Prospecting” is a new profitable job that can be done in prospect-enabled districts if the MC has at least one “Prospecting gear” in his Inventory. Prospecting involves searching through caves for gemstones and panning for gold in mineral rich brooks.

You can read more about Prospecting here.
