I've had matrons at my all my brothels for awhile now, but I haven't had a chance to use them much, since I tend to micromanage quite a bit. However, into the 3rd month with 4 full brothels, it's starting to get more than a bit tedious, so I decided to let the matrons fulfill their function. The impression I had was that matrons wait until girls get tired, take them off work, then return them to their assigned tasks once they've rested. My matrons seem to have been a bit more ambitious and took every single girl off work (even the ones with super high constitutions whose tiredness never rises above 0), and they're not being put back on work. Even if I missed something, and matrons are scripted to put girls back to work, something tells me they shouldn't be taking *all* my girls off work just because one or two get tired.
-
They matron are bugged so they dont ever put girls back on there working shift and only remove (sometimes depending on lvl) girls that either have low HP or high Tiredness.
Anyway they going to be removed in favor of girls working as caretakers
-
Hear hear... but I'll still try to fix anyway cause won't be implementing the new systems for at least 2 updates/weeks.
-
Matrons are being completely removed?
-
Yep, going to be able to assign one of your girls as a matron.
-
well that makes some of the traits mentioned in the todo file more reasonable.
-
I think the best way to do it would be to give orders to the matrons like this:
"Set girls to rest when tiredness goes above X% or health goes below Y%. Else, set girls to work [job]."
-
That would be quite useful...
-
That would be nice.
It would also be good if they were programmed to put them not just in the brothel once tired but also in the previous job they had unless they are recuperating from the dungion.
It would also be useful if the matron's sent girls who refused to work for more than two turns straight to the Dungion for punishment. That would help greatly instead of having to week them out among all the other girls with Japanese names that are fairly forgettable.
-
I wouldn't want that. Everyone else seems to play the "to the DUNGEON!!!" style; I don't... you can lower rebellion without needing to use the D-word, and I wouldn't want matrons randomly tossing girls around. It's not too hard to find the girls that are rebellous. They're highlighted! Once necno gets multiple girl selection incorporated, which should be the next release, this won't be an issue at all.
-
Makes sence. I guess it would also be easier if girls who didn't do their jobs also had their names highlighted in the Brothel selection as well and not just the summeries.
-
They are... or at least, I thought they were. necno hasn't quite finished the highlighting thing yet - it's intended that different levels of "this is IMPORTANT!" will be given different colors, so there isn't a lot of rhyme or reason at what gets highlighted where right now.
-
I wouldn't want matrons throwing girls in the dungeon either. I'm personally not into the whole torture thing, so I find other ways of dealing with rebellious girls - none of which ever involve the dungeon.
-
Like how about another menu for lighter punishments that doesn't involve the Dungion or torture.
Like restrictions in where they can go. Loosing certain privilages, not being alowed to leave their rooms, fining certain girls and such.
-
That can probably be handled by adding some new options to the talk script, but it wouldn't be something the matrons could handle automatically.
-
I would actually like to have a way to directly punish my girls, either through myself or the matron (preferable the matron, since I'm lazy) and I want the matron to do the things I'm too lazy to dom like hand out items (I veiw it, for the inventory 'matron', link of like shop or player, independant of who's the matron) we give the goods to her and she gives them out either from strogest to weakest to weakest or strongest, or if there's an addiction the correct cure.
if there where punishment styles it could be controlled like customers are (I like that change from 1.23). I must say I'll be happy when multple brothels are implemented again.(I may have only played 1.23 for twoish days befor I updated but the differences are clear to me)
-
You can buy other brothels, one possible issue is that the brothel images on the town screen are misnamed.
-
you can? oh, I haven't seen anything on my town map that'll let me. I just have one really big one. I'm still doning really really well so t's not that big of a deal to me (there's just way too much scrolling in the turn summary, with 155 girls in the brothel)
-
OK, you need to go into the resources folder and change the images brotheloff0.png and brothelon0.png to brotheloff.png and brothelon.png that should fix this issue.
-
cool thanks for the fix :)
-
You welcome, as for the varying levels of punishment, it might get in later after the job overhaul, and all the next few bug fix versions.
-
Certainly, there are some interesting potential things we can do if we're going to have girls punishing other girls. But yeah, we need to get 1.30 playable before anything else gets done.
