Sengoku Rance. He's an old-man face type, he sniffs out Mouri soldiers when Takuga attack the gate.

Maris gets a hot cg but it lasts for like 5 lines

Also with Rance 03 you'll notice that you can access all the variations in the scene replay menu

Remember to fuck girls in inns but to also do the dialogues scenes

Lia has a S&M fetish so it works for her, It's a crime that Sen gets those scenes though as she points that she doesn't enjoy it.

>>135780649
Are you using the game wikia for some things like skills?
>>
>>135815892
As >>135815791 says ghosts take heavily reduced physical damage or priests with the correct skill. Slap them with Torako/Shizuka/etc or have Crook swap in the correct skill.

You can get pretty much anyone who isn't a shit civilian with a level cap of like 10 to usable state by taking them to the highest level Malgreed dungeon you can do and hitting the challenge battle events for 2-3 minutes. That's a lot less investment than it takes to get weak characters up to par in other JRPGs, or even other Rance games, honestly.

If you really can't stand grinding it's also entirely possible to beat everything that isn't some bullshit Gunagan sidequest with just the main storyline party members you get early as long as you don't any goofy shit like first time Moruruning your entire party at once.
>>
>>135815964
It was worth for me because I'm an autist who wants everyone at their level cap
>>
>>135816649
Of course, but when I run into a game without a wiki I'm going to be fucked.

Really need to try harder on learning skill-esque words.

>>135803063
Something interesting you may have missed. In 01, if you ask in the info shop you will learn that Patty's real name is Patricia Friday.
>>
>>135816773
You can increase their level caps so that mindset will cause stupid amounts of grinding
>>
>>135816714
Those shit civilians tend to have pretty unique skills though, which might make them useful still.

>>135816862
All of the Rance games have wiki pages and if that doesn't provide enough information then you can just ask us

>>135816994
There's quite a few good civilian units but most of them are rather bad. People like Lia, Copa and Alcott are musts
>>
>>135816862
True. but then like how you're doing when playing the game, when you go read skills descriptions on the wikia, try memorizing the words.
>>
>>135817192
Did you try entering the Ice' shop multiple times? If you do you meet a girl that is quite a bro and that I really loved in it.
>>
>>135816714
One problem with Quest, that makes it really grindy, is that with all the level reducing because of the curse, and the fact that would be useful to have at least 3 parties worth of character up to speed, it takes lots of times to grind. And I always end up with a main party quite higher level than the rest.

To make it worse, there is even more than 15 characters on it I really like and would want to level, but then it's just too much of a hassle.
>>
>>135817417
I don't think so, who was it?
>>
>>135817798
You get to fuck Wench again.

Most the sex scenes that are at a fixed location or at inns have up to 3 variations.

Alice has seven.

So keep on fucking girls in inns and getting regular conversations.

All of Kanami, Sill, Feliss, Shizuka and Sioux join the regular inn fucking rotation
>>
>>135817887
Oh, okay. I got the first scene with her that gets interrupted.
>>
>>135817798
Th other "Wrench". Not sure if you remember her from original III, although she is much more of a Bro. Anyway try vising the shop whenever you have free time after an story event.
>>
>>135817629
>all the level reducing because of the curse
Which you get back with like 3 battles
>>
>>135818050
On the higher levels, not at all.
>>
>>135818014
Nope. I can barely retain the plot of the original 3 games, honestly - they felt pretty forgettable.

I'll check it out after I'm done in Custom.
>>
>>135818050
Bullshit, leveling is nowhere near that fast in Quest and that first time a character gets knocked down to level 1 kills any excitement around using said character because leveling is so time consuming
>>
Hey all, hoping someone can give me a hand with something. Just downloaded Dungeons & Dolls, and the English Patch for it. Unfortunately, while trying to run the executable for the english patch, it keeps saying "Error launching installer". Anybody know what's up with that?
>>
>>135818118
>>135818189
The exp needed to regain levels is fixed to not be more than what you'd need to get to 35 (or 36)

Which is like 3 red star battles in lvl50+ quests
>>
>>135818282
Sounds great except the worst part of the grind happens when you start getting you first round of lvl 35s not 50s.
>>
>>135818197
Screenshot?

Let me redownload Alicesoft 2010 and try it out
>>
>>135818282
>Which is like 3 red star battles in lvl50+ quests
End game grinding isn't the issue, it's grinding in the mid game when you start getting people thrown at you at Level 1 with curse or Level 20~ without the curse. It gets much better when you get the lvl 1~35 map but even then it's time consuming to level the characters.

Quite frankly it's not fun.
>>
>>135818385
That's unrelated to the level reducing mechanics though.

>>135818529
What are you doing grinding before you have access to decent grinding places?

>>135818492
Nevermind, I realized my goof. I wasn't running the computer in Japanese locale.

>>135818621
>What are you doing grinding before you have access to decent grinding places?
Don't remember, it's been almost 2 years since I did my run of Quest and I have zero intention of playing it again without massive abuse of a cheat engine to remove grind. I'm making my comments based on what I remember of playing Quest and the grind made the game a miserable experience for me especially the first and second of re-leveling with the curse. The only thing that kept me playing was the character interaction which turned out to be some of the best moments in the entire series
>>
>>135818826
I even played it before Magnum was out, but I never thought the grind to be that terrible.
>>
Someone who plays a lot of jrpgs wouldn't really notice a grind
>>
>>135818985
Quest just hit me in all the wrong spots, I'm the kind of person who has no issue grinding say Insane in the Membrane in WoW back in the day. Seeing my characters level drop to 1 makes the whole experience of leveling them up feel like a waste of time

>>135819050
I'll make a point that I used to play quite a large number of Jrpgs
>>
>>135819050
While not a Disgaea, it's grindier than most jrpgs.
>>
>>135819198
>Seeing my characters level drop to 1
That's common enough in RPGs though.
Also, you only lose 5 levels after the first morurun, which are regained in like 3 battles.
>>
>>135819462
>That's common enough in RPGs though.
I know, I was just bringing up a example

> which are regained in like 3 battles.
Once again, late game grinding was never the issue. Mid game grinding killed the fun of Quest for me. Doesn't help that I didn't like the customization of skills in Quest either
>>
>>135819586
Which, once again, goes back to the question why you even would want to grind mid-game.

And I didn't even level-grind in the end-game at all, since I'd get tons of exp while item-grinding anyway (which is way worse than the level grind)
>>
>>135819760
Because not using the first Morurun at the first time you hit 35 is highly inefficient as it always drops you down to level 1 regardless of your current level?

I don't exactly remember how post 35 Morurun grinding works so I can't make a argument for it.
>>
>>135820029
I only moruruned girls when they hit 35 if that was their level-cap. For the others, I either waited until they hit their level-cap or until I was in end-game (Shizuka and Urza)
>>
>>135819760
Because you get new characters that are better than the ones you get early on or characters that you do like and would want to use and level soon for the scenes.

>>135820029
You drop 5 levels, but at least the amount of XP to level up again is a fixed amount (around the amount you need for level 34->35) which is a life saver when you're doing a high level one like level 65->60 and then to go back to 65 the amount of XP needed is negligible.

Of course, that was added with Magnum. In the original quest you needed the full exp always.
>>
>>135820218
>>135820231
Judging by my save I used Moruun ASAP on characters that had a very high level cap and for characters that didn't have a high I used it when they hit max level.

Also it appears I made almost the entire roster viable for use as almost everybody is past level 30

> In the original quest you needed the full exp always.
I shiver at the thought

>Based on when you face them? Tokugawa, One-Eyed, Shimazu, Mikos from from worst to easiest
I don't know if I can agree

Hmm, I'm gonna try to approach this logically...
I'd suppose the title of 'strongest house' (note, I said strongest, not hardest to fight') goes to one of the following:
Demon King Demon Army, triggered as early as possible so that they have the Shimazu brothers (DKDA)
Full Power Shimazu (after absorbing Mouri, Takuga and the Tanegashima houses)
Takeda with generals.

Out of those three, I'm not sure which is the hardest to beat. At least with Shimazu, you must've conquered Houjou (and hence be at war with Takeda) before you can fight them at their strongest point, but with the DKDA, I'm pretty sure you can fight them if you just sit on your ass in Owari and hit 'end turn' over 100 times while desperately trying to survive being attacked from Ashikaga and Hara or just feed the monkey too much.

Actually, I suppose that's the best answer I can be bothered to get. There's way too many variables here, so I'd have to make assumptions about how intelligently the player is playing but at least if you're playing suicidally bad, I'd reckon the DKDA is the hardest of the lot. In the worst case scenario, you'll be fighting them and Hara simultaneously. Not even 5 Permits would save you.

If we're assuming intelligent play however...gimme some time to think and I'll post on it.
>>
>>135827215
>>135772173
>>135773495
Let's see now... assuming intelligence.
I'm also gonna have to assume that you're going for the optimal type of victory against the house, i.e. rather than wasting resources fighting the Tenshi Sect, you just ignore them until you can vassal them post Temple Event.

Firstly, let's list all the people who are always total pushovers and not even try to rank them:
Tenshi Sect (as above).
Hara varies by difficulty, if you're taking any bonuses then they're pushovers, if you're on 5 Star No Bonus, you're just gonna vassal them. So either way they're easy.
Iga? Intelligent play would have you not touch them until after the temple, which would eventually add up to mean that you just duel Inukai and take them. I can't even remember how hard their castle battle is, I'll take Inukai's utility over the 5 SAT and wasted fans from battles.
Asai-Askura
Akashi
Imagawa
Uesugi (just use Rance intelligently)

So... the remainder.
I wouldn't rank Hojou or Tanegashima as pushovers, but their probably the weakest remaining here
Shimazu is easy if you don't let them get to full power, which intelligent play means you won't do anyway.
Takeda isn't so bad if you beat them before the generals appear, but hey, they're still tough.
The Mikos and Tokugawa both have tough final battles, but at least Tokugawa can be made easy (capture people, although that can be tough).
Ashikaga was probably the hardest part of my No Bonus run, either that or the Miko castle.
Takuga and Mouri aren't too tough by the time most people face them, come to think of it, Takuga borders on pushover.
The Demon Army is undeniably tough, but you should be at your strongest by the time you face them, so intelligent play says that they should be too bad.
I really don't know where to place One-Eyed. I often find that the hardest part is the Rance vs Masamune fight. Due to permits I usually just sit back and wait until I've beat them, so in the end they're just two average castle battles.
>>
>>135828402
>>135827215
>>135772173
>>135773495
Final ranking?
I'd say Miko>Tokugawa, on the basis that they're both just tough castles, but one can be (tediously) made easy and the other can't. There's also the fact that you can afford to wait for Senhime, while you probably want Natori as soon as possible.
One-Eyed is two average castles and a tough boss fight. Intellegent play would have you ready for the boss fight.
Miko>Tokugawa>One-Eyed
Due to permits and it being end game, I'd argue Shimazu is just 4 easy castles.
Miko>Tokugawa>One-Eyed>Shimazu.
Playing intelligently, Takeda is 7 tough battles on lower than usual resources, which must be done in 3 turns. That's tough, but not so bad when you ought to have stuff like Uruza, Kenshin, Dousan, Senhime and others by this point.
Miko>Tokugawa>Takeda>One-Eyed>Shimazu.
The DA depends on route, but their castles are still a bitch, certainly not Miko-tier, but still tougher than One-Eyed, and you can't Permit them on True either. At least you've got all the time you need to beat them... all though I'm still not sure where they rank in relation to Takeda and Tokugawa.
Miko>Tokugawa>DA>Takeda>One-Eyed>Shimazu
That just leaves Ashikaga... in my head they're tougher than the DA.
Miko>Tokugawa>Ashikaga (no bounus)>DA>Takeda>One-Eyed>Shimazu>everything else?

Wait... shit, forgot Mouri. His castles are tougher than Shimazu or One-Eyed.
Miko>Tokugawa>Ashikaga (no bounus)>DA>Takeda>Mouri>One-Eyed>Shimazu>everything else?

Yeah man, liking an actual good girl + best Foot Soldier instead of the most overrated makes you a shitposter.

I guess sweet, sweet 50% All Guard (60% if you got a lucky Int Skillbook) is really strong when you just reload the battle every time it doesn't block everything you wanted. Definitely worth the 4 NP cost.

>She literally has skills that make her optimal for breeding/being a wife
Added in after the fact, because she became the most popular due to appealing to the lowest common denominator. Her stealing the show from the likes of Isoroku and Kenshin is one of the worst things about Sengoku Rance (not that I hold it against the game or the devs, just proves that in every fanbase ever, the majority of players have horrible taste).
>>

Liking Tourin is a sign of good taste. Good taste is rare so of course popular undeserving characters like Masamune are going to steal his spout. If I had to bet, I'd guess he was 8-9th.

Coincidentally, she also outclasses Senhime in SR. Starting to see a pattern here.
>>
>>135840680
Senhime is a curious case in that she got as popular as she did in Sengoku despite being an almost obligatory side-character with rather little to her. She then got a lot more fleshed out in IX, but usually it's the other way around.
