Trait page overflow fix

While it's not a common phenomenon, the length of some NPCs' trait lists might potentially reach down below the NPC Menu page buttons.

With this fix, a new page appears if the number of traits reaches 13+ (use the left/right arrows in the Trait title head to navigate between pages). That number can be further tweaked by adjusting the '_traitperpage' variable found in MoR's base HTML.

Trait page overflow fix (MC)

While it's also not a common phenomenon, the length of a seasoned MC's trait list can sometimes cause overflow issues in the Character Sheet.

With this fix, a new page appears if the number of traits reaches 23+. Click on the Skill & Attribute-Trait cycler button to switch between pages.

New outskirts district: Arvannis

Arvannis lies roughly 1.5 miles north of Darkmere and is home to the Diocese of Arvannis - a farming community that supports much of the food consumed by The Catholic Faction in Ikaanos.

Random Arousal script

NPCs can now start the day with either positive or negative arousal based on dozens of different variables such as current Corruption, Health, Stamina, Wear, Pain, stable assignments, traits and more.

• There's a 30% chance very aroused NPCs will try to satisfy themselves over night.

Power Value changes

• [MC] Having a Ranged or Melee combat skill that's 100+ will now increase the MC's Power Value by 2.
• [MC] Wearing a HULC or WEGA armor set will now increase the MC's Power Value by 2.
• [MC] Reaching 500,000+ influence will now increase the MC's Power Value by 3.
• [MC] Reaching 1,000,000+ influence will now increase the MC's Power Value by 3.
• [NPC] Wearing a HULC armor set will now increase the MC's Power Value by 2.

Michelle hangout scenes

You're now able to "spend time/hangout" with Michelle (unique story npc events). Just like Adrienne, taking Michelle to the mall is the MC's number one choice.

Her hangout event comes with special dialogues and texts based on Willpower, Anger, Affection and Corruption. You can also decide to purchase her a gift to further strengthen your relationship.

There's also a normal and nude variant, with effects related to Corruption.

Aisha Hasan

You can now use the missionary position when having sex with Aisha Hasan.

New accessory: Embryl butt plug

The MC can now craft a new, unique "accessory" for his girls. This item requires Artisan 75+, 3 embryl stones and some fasteners. It has the same physical effects as the large alternative but also comes with:

• +2 Beauty/+2 Charisma if the NPC is naked.
• -1 taint/day (100% chance).

Advanced combat tactics

In this release, you'll notice four new boxes in the engage combat pane. These will be used for the many advanced combat tactics coming in 0.8.5+ but a few of these are implemented now in v0848.

Some enemies are tougher to bring down with melee weapons because of their hardened exoskeletons, while others are more difficult to hit with ranged attacks. On top of that we have a dozen other additional factors coming (shield walls, area effects, tight corridors, and more), which will push the player to choose their tactics with greater care.

4th Anniversary content

To celebrate MoR's fourth anniversary, I've added four new features scattered in and around Ikaanos. They could be dungeons to explore, unique treasures to discover, or other surprises waiting for you out in the wild or on the streets of Ikaanos. I won't reveal their locations - you'll have to embark on a little treasure hunt of your own. Each POI is marked with an icon and has minimal prerequisites, so it shouldn't turn into a Grave of the Cursed One ordeal to track them down.

Catholic Faction Overhaul

The Catholic faction has been completely overhauled. Instead of a simple donation framework, the MC can now interact with a living and dynamic faction filled with intrigues, quests, business ventures and interesting NPCs. Train and equip the Catholic Militia, restore the lost Iron Order and embark on missions that offer expeditions, interactions with other factions and multi-endings.

• Quest added: The Shrine.
• Quest added: The Relic.
• Quest added: The Knight.
• Quest added: The Seed.
• Quest added: The Iron Order.
• Quest added: The Hunt.
• Business opportunity added: The Carpenter.
• Business opportunity added: The Winery.
• Business opportunity added: The Saracen.

New NPCs (non-addable)

• Father Marinelli.
• Father Dacré.
• Father Devereaux.
• Bishop Lavigne.
• Sir Baltazar Drake.
• Sir Thad Angleholm.
• Captain Flint.
• Rhea Recuso.
• Unnamed knight (WIP).

New Story NPC: Gabriel Arwent

After joining the Iron Order, the MC can acquire a new paragon NPC that comes with the Iron Knight and Zweihander traits. Sir Gabriel is a devoted Christian but has had a bout with the distractions of Ikaanos in his earlier life. Can the MC help or hinder his attempts to walk the righteous path?

New preaching framework

The MC can now assist his Church/faith in spreading the true words on the streets of Ikaanos as long as his Devotion is 60+. A successful Preaching session increases a religion's Influence (number of believers on Raana).

Preaching also has a chance to increase CHARISMA and Performance, as well as executing various random events. It can also slowly increase Standing with a religion, especially if the MC is a successful.

Available locations (sermon "hotspots") are:

• Hamilton Square.
• S. Redhaven.
• The Docks.
• Stokke Hills.

NOTE! Upon loading 0848 on old saves, the entire Catholic Faction is reset. All Standing, Power Values and Manpower modifications done through donations and political events are nullified.

Crusader framework

Upon joining The Iron Order, the MC can participate in respawnable crusader calls against high-level CTM zealots that offer good loot and Standing & Power Value increases for Catholics.
