6/24/2011: Marriage and Corruption

[Jay Luo]

Professional matchmakers are offering their services in Toshi Ranbo to families with worthy and marriageable samurai. The Crane have invited interested parties to begin marriage negotiations in Kyuden Doji. (Once the code for this seems solid, I'll add the ability to arrange marriages with other clans, too.)

In other news, it is rumored that tainted samurai are flocking to the Court of Daigotsu to swear fealty to the mysterious Spider Clan. I'm sure none of our dear readers would ever consider doing such a vile thing, though.

Also, fixed the bug that let people get negative infamy or zero taint by strategic unequipping.


Note: All of these items required code changes. I did test them out, but if you notice anything weird or buggy, please let me know!

Well, that's one notch off the FAQ *slices the entry in half with one clean strike*

[Toku Hirotomo]

Sweet! So far I got the matchmaker without a hitch. Now the waiting game. Someone tell me what marriage is, maybe a commodity?

[Kakita Shinji]

Interesting. Will marrying specific clan have consequences? Like opening some clan-exclusive actions?

[Toku Hirotomo]

That would be pretty cool. If Hirotomo was not already betrothed to Kitsuki Rinko, I'd wait for an Otomo bride. I'm running close to the RP version though. C'est la vi.

[Shoju]

Hmmmmm..... Someone try out the new swear fealty option. I gotta see how this works!

[Utaku Kasumi]

But but... there would be more options, not only Crane, right?



(Setsuro is gona kill meh )

[Daigotsu Karteru]

Having secured the services of a Matchmaker, I am curious what fine family will be seen as the most advantageous match for this enlightened soul.

:: Jay, as one of the individuals with a Negative Taint [by way of Plague symptoms and copious Jade Petal Tea, but now that I have shaken the plague, the negative taint remains], should I anticipate my taint returning to zero, or living the rest of my character's life as a beacon against corruption?::

It lets you change school to your choice of the Spider ones (changing school skills in the process).
I now have a drooling, manical Goju among my friends . I think I'm gonna need more Jade...

[Daigotsu Karteru]

hmmm... does that reset skill points spent? if not that could be an interesting shortcut to 8 skills at really high numbers..... Not that I can do it, just interesting.

[Shokuma]

Apparantly it doesn't change your current ratings. I'm still not going there.

*Prods away the crazy Spider, who is now giggling about her pretty new face*

[Agasha Shodai]

So, how does the game determine who is the dominant spouse? Does it assume that the would-be spouse join your clan?

[Agasha Shodai]

In answer to my own question, after you get married, you can choose to marry into your spouse's family (presumably allowing you to change classes.) Since in the RP I'll be marrying Mitsouko, the fact that Jay-sama did it for the Crane Clan first worked rather nicely for me. ;D

An interesting note is that getting married got me a Crane Ally, so presumably when this is working for the other clans, presumably this will open up Dragon Ally drops.

We have many fine young Dragon who will make excellent spouses for those with the foresight (and patience) to wait. ;D

Alliances, alliances...

As for Mirumoto Takezo's own marriage? He already has allies in every clan (especially Lion (5) and Unicorn (4)), so it's subject to careful consideration... as well as the cooperation of his many, many foxwives!

[Bayushi Senshi]

So, as of right now theres still no way for two player characters to be wed together?
