My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
Upon learning of Rider's identity, I am suddenly intensely interested in Empire of Dirt.
Being the person's countryman, I can probably help shedding light on some of this:
Protection of Faith rank is most likely kicked down because he is technically a heretic. While Hussite faith ended up being accepted in the end among other protestant faith, he will definitely pass down history as a heretic, mostly because of pulling his thing off before everybody has properly had it with the church. If I made him, I'd give him an anti-divinity or anti-catholic skill, really. (He also qualifies for Avenger for sure)Originally Posted by MB_Vindicator
Invictus might actually be lowballed on its rank, he deserves nothing but A. It might be caused by him technically not having fought his battles personally, but context is everything. In case it is not your country's history, you might not completely realize this, but this guy was a knight for forty years and then ran a country for six years which was a constant battlefield to such a degree that twenty years later the population of the country was the Hussite army living off raids, and not much else. It's one thing to be a commander in a war that takes two years and never lose any of your five battles, and it's wholly another thing to be in constant war with the rest of the known world except maybe Poland (historical quote - 'Against All'), to be the person conducting most of these countless battles some of which we have recorded as display of Zizka's tactics but most of which were raids and skirmishes lost to history, to have all that on your shoulders, and never lose a single one of these fights. And then he lost his other eye and was bound to a wheelchair so the only way he could keep doing his job was by having the commanders tell him what the battlefield was like, and he still did not lose once. And the opposing countries have recorded this for us because 40 years of constant war (and the rest of what the Hussites did) kind of stifles your culture.
(Did I mention the Hussites under Žižka repelled four crusades? Yeah)
I'm not sure whether Forerunner of the Ages refers to him (and by extension Hussites) being the first to properly utilize personal firearms in open warfare. This mainly worked because it made horses freak out, though. Having artillery during sieges was also nice.
Aside of that, it can also refer to him being Protestant before that was even a thing, and having essentially the same issue with the Church as the people who brought 'theological revolution' to it by saying what he already did, and took his credit, and haven't had to fight a bloody war over it. Thanks, Luther, I hope your books sells well.
The NP obviously is the Wagenburg, though it's hilariously off-period, but that's kind of a given with Fate these days. I'd have liked his NP to be the drums he had ordered to be made of his skin so that his troops could be led with them after his death, but we can't always have nice things.
As a side note in regards to the relationship between him and Jeanne: Jeanne actually wrote a letter to the Hussites, telling them basically that when she was done with France they were next. It's pretty easy to find among Jeanne's letters on the internet, she sent plenty of them. I've always sort of wanted to see how that would work out, since they both liked big guns. If it somehow went down, no matter what the result, I'm pretty sure Germany wouldn't be a country today.

People extremely interested in the topic might be able to read some cool stories about Žižka in the Otome Sensou manga. While it's very edgy, somewhat fetishized, and not quite historically accurate to my satisfaction, one thing it handles really well is the dual nature of him as both a revolutionary peerless military leader, and a massive Askeladd-like dickbag who did absolutely horrible things because he had to.
Awwwwww, nuts.

So it has been badly delayed or what?
C95 is this Winter, C98 will be summer 2020.

As far as I know this game isn't taking Fantia money let alone Patreon, I mean, the fact that it has a working demo already destroy nearly half of 18+ Patreon games. I'm willing to wait.
Hasn't Patreon recently cracked down on 18+ stuff anyways, unfortunately?
Has it? There were several patreons for artists doing 18+ stuff and at least one eroge I was aware of a couple months ago.

More delays, eh.

I hope if money is their restraint causung delays, they'd just ask for a kickstarter or something. I'm sure people would donate...and trust them ecksdee
Well, the base they're using is open source but they've done some extensive modifications, so it's not like they won't have any programming overhead. Still, if they've said money is not a concern I'm inclined to believe them.

The gameplay except hentai scenes are bad imo
There's not really that much gameplay to go on, more of a VN-lite, judging by the demo at least.
The combat system might be interesting, but I can't say for sure because I can't understand jackshit about how it works lmao

Spoiler:
You have Arts, Buster, Quick like in FGO. They all do damage obviously, but are also related to NP charge, atk up, and crit rate respectively.
They also charge something called CUPS, WANDS, and SWORDS, again, respectively. When you fill these you can use a special ability the MC has, so CUPS is a heal, WANDS is defense buff (iirc), and SWORDS is double hits on attack.
Each command also gets these buffs passively, but like a weaker version. So all arts attacks restore hp on hit, all quick attacks hit more times, etc.
Combat also isn't turn-based per se, but has you trade hits each turn instead, if that makes sense. Then you have skills/Mystic Code stuff on top of that.
That's about what I remember, but don't know if I got anything wrong so...
Sounds about right with what I gleaned, minus the charging part (hasn't realised that was a thing). Also, Scathach's damage-on-being hit buff was hilariously broken but also a clever mechanic that needs to be implemented in FGO ASAP.

That's one heavily modded RPG Maker. Like holy shit, hats off for effort.

Created a account just for this, anyone got a save on the last part of chapter 1? Really dont want to play everything again...
I think so, yeah, but unless they're saying so I wouldn't expect saves from the previous demo to be compatible with this one.

Holy moly, almost one gig download and that's just the first two chapters. For an RPGmaker game, that's pretty bloated.
EDIT: Alright, it's down. I also can't for the life of me find where I stashed the old version, which annoys me to no end because I /really/ don't feel like replaying all of chapter 1 either. What I can do, however, is check the files directly, and I'm sorry to disappoint...whoever might be disappointed by this, but it looks like there's no new H-scenes (or at least no new CG's). Looks like the story will be focusing on Rama and Sita next.
EDIT2 (BECAUSE I CAN): I also can't for the life of me figure out why, but literally nobody appears to be talking about this game. Very odd. Given the premise and the frankly excellent art, I'd expect to at least find some dead threads like this one on other forums, but nope. Zilch.

Reddit talked about it when it was first a thing but then it died since nothing happened, and other than that, you're just simply more inclined to find native Japanese talk about it on their respective forums, because very few of the Reddit and assorted people who don't speak Japanese are gonna play through this entire thing and keep up with the development process for some sprites and some h-scenes
