honestly, I don't see where the "free girls game is hard" thing is coming from
I, for one, would like the game to be more challenging
like adding some strategy elements, diplomacy, or something like that
unless you are taking this free girls thing too far, like immediately releasing everyone from the dungeon and making them whore themselves out, in which case, that's not the game's fault, that's you being stupid
also, how does slavery work exactly?
if I understand, they get a magic brand or something, and it compels them to obey you. how big is it? does it show? do they feel pain if they disobey you? does it just make them want to please you?
maybe the slave girls could have a chance (based on certain stats and items) to try and run away, which the guards, or the security girls try to prevent
I know they should run away if they are unhappy, but it never happened to me, and I had some pretty unhappy girls
and I'm not sure if guards affect that
about the refusal to work
I think it should be the other way around
the girl are there by their own free will, getting paid to do whatever they are supposed to do
having someone who I'm paying to guard my property, or serve drinks to my customers, suddenly say "I don't want to do this right now" does not make sense, nor is it acceptable
slaves can rebel, on the other hand, and it is up to me to have them under control
I don't see a reason why I should coddle my workers so that they actually do the job I am paying them to do
but, rather than just making free girls mindless robots, maybe their traits could could determine what they want to do
like adventurers, tough, etc. not minding to go into the catacombs, while regular girls would be scared
also, I agree that slaves should be allowed to do the work of a matron
them being slaves doesn't make them unable to take care of other workers or slaves
they'd probably prefer it to whoring themselves out so I can make money off of it
I know I'm not being very coherent, but it's late and I can't think that well
