This update introduces the training plan system, which allows you to passively train your Forsaken without needing to spend in-game days or worry about messing up their combat styles with the regular training system. Training your Forsaken directly will remain the most efficient, most powerful option for quickly getting them to high expertise values, but assigning training plans to your Forsaken will ensure that they become useful within the next loop, even if the player can't spare any days to directly train them. Simply assign one Forsaken to be your trainer and then set the others to train for the combat style you want them to use. I hope that players who been avoiding campaign mode will give it another shot, because it's no longer required to jump straight into the complexities of the training system after the first loop.
The new system also comes with some erotic content of a type we haven't seen much of before. Many of the training methods are sexual in nature, and in addition to the short summaries of what the trainers and trainees are doing together in the daily report, there are also new vignettes focusing on Forsaken interactions which can happen at the end of the day. When one Forsaken is training another, and when they haven't previously had a vignette together as Forsaken, a training vignette can be displayed depending on which training plan the trainee is currently using. I'll be writing more of these in the coming releases, so suggestions for scenarios that would be fitting for already-corrupted heroines are certainly welcome. This will be in addition to the regular Chosen vignettes (of which Kalloi commissioned another this month!).
This release was originally intended to be focused on fixing long-standing issues, and alleviating the unforgiving nature of the training system was just the highest priority. The lackluster Defiler attack for Tempted Forsaken has been completely reworked. It now allows a mid-capture switch to a focused extremely-high-PLEA combat style against any target (and it also automatically triggers the Tempt Distortion against valid targets as a bonus). The Preparedness campaign city modifier is now less punishing, as it "refunds" one third of the lost days as guaranteed training days after the final battle. Forsaken can now be shifted between female, male, and futanari at will, and save files with cheats activated can edit most Forsaken parameters directly.
There are still more general improvements to be done. I wasn't able to find a good way to display how close Forsaken are to switching combat styles (but with how easy it is now to nudge them back toward the combat style you desire, this might be less necessary). I want to rework the Chosen decision-making code about T1 breaks so that players can see whether a break will trigger in advance (in order to make it more possible to pursue Distortions without needing to save and load before each battle). I also want to give some more attention to custom sex scenes, particularly detailed orgasm and chastity mechanics. These things aren't enough to fill an update by themselves, but I'll also be starting work on the animal ear Chosen species, which will come with lots of flavor text and new gameplay mechanics.
