I think we need to increase reputation, like do honourable thing… don’t use deception, don’t lies, protect the weak with minimum wage

Vera is a noble soul, she prefer knight in shiny armour :wink:

I hadn’t manage to do that as well but i heard the author mention something like that… i could be wrong

@Greed22… this is HG title , so chances for steam is low

I can’t romance vera. She has no relationship stat and any option to flirt with her is greyed out.

I can’t access it in the app, is anyone else having this problem

Major bug:When you choose to infiltrate during the pirate contract, after you get all the pieces there is no option to do anything with them and it just has you infiltrate the pirates endlessly with no option to stop or try something else. Only way to fix it is a complete restart.

It would be cool if after you reach the point where there is nothing left to do except retire, you could go back to the capital and do some stuff you didn’t have time to do before (for whatever reason). The amount of things that you can no longer do after a certain point is depressing. It feels like I did something wrong.
I can’t even uprade my castle anymore even though I have several ugrades left.
