If by any chance you've no idea what the hell I'm talking about (yeah, right) visit NOW Hümmelgümpf's and WhiskeyWolf's famous Gahahaha, let's play Sengoku Rance! (NSFW)

The LP your humble servant is undertaking is so called "second game". This means unlike "first game" I as I player am permited to pick certain bonuses before embarking on the adventure. The number of bonuses available depends on your achievements in previous playthrough e.g. whether you found certain artefacts or not or if you managed to secure loyalty of certain important figures in the previous games.

Also the number of points you have which are used for buying the bonuses is determined by your previous performance as well. I used to have a save with over 200 points (a joint effort of me and my sister). This one unfortunately been lost and attempts to reclaim it from my old craptop turned out to be futile. All thanks to you sis

I've already attempted to conduct a poll regarding which setting to choose in WW's LP but the feedback was a little bit too underwhelming. Hence, with 119 points I've made the following choices myself.



Difficulty level. I went with the highest possible setting to spice things up. Frankly I'm starting to regret doing this now. The game can get hard on the default level but goes all out racist now.

Picking this option means:

1) Our enemies will practically always have greater men-power no matter what we'll do:

To illustrate the point let's have a look at enemies' army-size progression in comparison to ours:







Note the turn count.

2)Tougher dungeons with stronger high-level mosters.

and most importantly 3) You enemies have more action fans and use it more wisely. This means they attack you more than once each turn.



Family bonus. I picked Additional Characters and Youkai family bonus. Youkais are strong and they prove valuable asset now. The minor downside is we are forced into the war with their kingdom for no apparent reason.

Extra characters offer more (back)story fluff though one has to say it - they are not very powerful.



Special character bonus - extra characters with no story significance, I picked only three since the youkais chosen with the previous option already offer stubstantial addition to our army.

Next are item bonuses. They go as follows:









Here the most important items by far are:

Popularity Staff - which rises your unit size per 20 each turn if equipped,

Guts Armor - absorbs 100 points of damage

Three Golden Statues - each nets us 10% more earnings each turn.

And last but not least various bonuses. I opted for the following:



Extra Action fan is a must for our game.

Same with operation permits - special items which allow your unit to act independently and fight for your territories. The downside is - the unit must have over 1000 soldiers in it for them to become equippable.

Additional national power will let us sustain larger army. On lower difficulty levels this bonus does not seem to help much as you can maintain sizeable force only with conquest. Not so in the game we are playing. I found the constant struggle to keep up with your opponents in terms of money/national power/army size to be the most aggreviating but all the same fascinating part of the current game. Even with the bonuses I'm still having hard time enlarging my troop-count.

This Lp will mostly cover the second phase of the game, which, you've guessed it, will focus on the character of Uesugi Kenshin.

However, prior to that I will show some things that happened differently in my playthrough in comparison to WhiskeyWolf's - some new characters will join us, we will fulfill certain objectives differently and so on - all in the name of C&C. So, it will take 2-3 updates before we start Kenshin route proper.

One more thing - I know what you've guys come here for. Yes, low quality tongue in cheek anime pr0n shall also be delivered... with one exception

Without further ado...





Next (real) update soon

Any feedback regarding image size/quality will also be appreciated.

You forgot cute Winter Alice



Other than that, very well. Image size is fine by me.

And... you mentioned your sister, what's her opinion on the game, btw?

Yeah, I know... fix'd

She finished it three times - True, Kill the monkey and Isoroku routes. Currently she is playing Kenshin's path.

Like me she tends to ctrl skip porn content... Though somehow she has more CGs than me

Now that the thread has this...



... I'm in.

Mrowak, I think you're going to hear this a lot, so lets just put it on the table.

Is your sister:
a) fat?
b) ugly?
c) legal?

And most importantly; how much?

Godfuckingdammit.

None of the above I'm saying this with utmost envy but (un)fortunately (for me :/) the female part of our family has always had better looks than the male side :/ No, she is in a steady relationship with her boyfriend, being more sociable and all she is no a geek like me, and she hardly ever plays computer games these days (popamole bullshit bores her).

Frankly, she is the smarter one.

And most importantly; how much?

Click to expand...

I would never Ever EVER...!!! NEVER!!!

Good luck with that. FYI, most effective way to win battles is to just play the morale meter while mostly defending so you don't take ridiculous casualties. Also, buffs are really important since they are pretty much the only way to equalize the manpower disparity. Not having the Takeda means you want to get strong tacticians to do both of these. In any case, strong commanders are going to be much more important then strong unit sizes because enemy unit sizes are partially scaled to your own.

Extra characters offer more (back)story fluff though one has to say it - they are not very powerful.

Gekkou is awesome. Great stats, great skills, 6 AP. What more could you want?

Shizuka does suck though. Sad because she is supposed to be one of the more badass mages. She was basically the Omachi of Rance 6.

Yeah, I know. I've finished the game on five star level twice so far. Completing it won't be a problem.

Yeah, Gekkou is clearly teh WIN. But it is still a little bit too little for 20 points the bonus with him costs.

Shizuka though... :/ A bitter disappointment. Pitty, because I like her character.

Ahh, OK. It sounded like you didn't know what you were getting yourself into in the first post.

Mrowak said:

Spoiler

The problem will be recruiting Takeda. Fighting their best commanders 4 times in a row without losing any battle is nigh impossible. I've managed it once on this difficulty but that was more thanks to luck than anything else. I'm afraid I won't be able to recuit them in this LP :/

Click to expand...

Yeah, trying to beat them in just a normal game is pretty much 5 Star hard. I can't see any way to beat that blitz that doesn't require massive amounts of character grinding.

Goddamn you for making me follow all these Rance LPs.

YEEEHAAAW! LET'S GO GO GO!

Btw, I meant to write this but for some reason I forgot to hit submit when I did: if you want, cut the window at the top of screenshots.

Yeah, I'm going to do that with the real updates.

Why not exchange the Matkutsudo for the 10000GP. you gonna need the money badly.

Too fucking late bro. Update inbound this late afternoon.

Sounds of Battlefie...

???: Wait the fucking moment!

Who the he...?

???: Rance Attack! Tooh!!!

Oh SHIIIIIIIIII...!!!

*Flash*

Sound of flesh melting.

Someone: „Ahhhhrrrrrrrghhhh...!!!

Whaaa! That was close one. You've almost hit me. Thanks for saving my arse from that ninja.

I was aiming at you MORAN! WTF do you think you're doing?! Starting the story as it has already been told!?

What do you mea...?

Are you fucking retarded?! Shit's already been covered by Whiskey Wolf and Hümmelgümpf. What is the purpose of writing the same stuff all over again? Everyone already knows how awesome I am. I'm not going to spend half a year doing same stuff from the scratch.

What do you propose then?

Let's skip boring stuff and proceed straight to Kenshin's route. I've got some fine new pussies to penetrate.

Yeah, right... You forgot about one thing.

And what is that retard?!

This game we are playing is fucking C&C heavy. There is no way in the world I could reproduce WW's playthrough especially on the badass highest difficulty you ordered me to select.



That is if I wanted to. There are plenty of things I intend to do differently this time around – for the sake of variety and extolling the game design philosophy.

Ok, you've got a point there. I know what. We'll breeze through the first part of the game. You will cover all the new events you want but we'll skip unnecessary boring stuff. Anyone interested in the missed parts will have to follow Gahahaha, let's play Sengoku Rance! (NSFW)

That's exactly what I was thinking



Onwards then!!! To Glory!!!



World map...

Brings back memories. From humble beginnings through all out war to ultimate conquest - which will soon be the case. But why are the youkais in war with us from the start?

Have no clue. Probably it's got something to do with that we have them among our troops.



Nice Army Omachi, so how about one night...

STFU cretin!!! * Lighting bolt *

:Dodge:

Yaiks. Whatever. She'll be mine in due time.

Coming back to the topic, doesn't it mean the youkai kingdom should be allied with from the start?

Dunno. Maybe some youkai thing... or not.

Yeah, right. Let us quit yapping and get down to business.

First, we'll declare war on Ashikaga.

Ashikaga? Not Hara?

There's a good reason for that.



Itz time for WAR!!!



The joys of first pees poor easy battles :tearofrance:

I wouldn't get used to this if I were you.


Omachi, I love you

DIIIIEEEEEE!!! * Lighting Bolt *

AAAAAAGHHEREERRRRBBZZZZZBLUUUIUUYRERERKHEEEEEEEE!!!

Rance, RANCE!!! Do you hear me?!! RANCE!!!

...

Damnation. That was the shortest LP ever.

KheKheKhe... Actually, I think the Codex Wizardry IV LP still would have been much shorter.

Yokatta!!

Just give me a moment. I must put myself together first. Aghhh... She'll be mine one day :/

She sure will bro, she sure will.

Anyway, the hara fuckers declared war on us!!! This act of insolence shall not be passed by lightly!!!



One territory taken. We'd better proceed with caution.

Caution is for sissies. Attack!!!

And attack they did.



And they've even won!

As if that surprised anybody. Gahahahaha!!

Meanwhile... certain someone joins our win team.



Wait, I didn't mean to post that! Who on earth...?!

Gahahahaha!!!

Why did I ask I wonder?

Finally it's time for the last bastion to fall.



With Omachi the outcome is predictable:





Now, if you excuse me I've got important matters to attend to... You know the usual stuff connected with being a conqueror tyrant: imposing levies, stealing, pillaging, socialising with native females... yeah socialising...

Fair enough, have fun now.

Now, what shall we do next?



End of update I part I.

Next part will be delivered today or tomorrow in the evening.

I was initially shocked by the lack of Kou avatars, but then I took matters into my own hands. Feel free to abuse them:

OH MY THIS CANNOT BE UNSEEN!!1

as I type...

Great

Update I, part II

So what's the situation?

You've come back? How did ehm... socialising go?

:flashback:



:flashback end:

It was fine. Not your business anyway.

Right Let's move on. We are currently embroiled in the war with Hara.

Pushovers. They won't be a problem.

I thought as much, but somehow they've managed to gather substantial forces even though that bitch Aki spends fortune on trinkets.

Yeah, I know. I've already engaged their outer defence lines.



Far from impressive to be honest.

But much larger than our intelligence reported. Something's clearly not right. What's more important, they logistics is much better than we expected. They attack us more than once each turn. Classic blitz won't be as effective as usual – we won't have enough manpower to attack and defend ourselves efficiently. I penned out a plan of attack, so if you will have a look...

Later... Now I've got more important matters to attend to.

Which are...?

Party And anticipating your next question, no you are not invited



See ya

The party, but in reality simply a dinner with lord Nobunaga, proceeds without any disturbance.



We are about to clash with Hara soldiers once again when something attracts our attention.



Some new event on the action list. '* Lightning during the day?' I wonder what'll...?







































Another brave one joins our team.



And a valuable commander at that.

But that's not the end of events for this day.







But...





















Interesting. Unfortunately a little bit soap operish for codex :monocle: tastes.

(Un)luckily that's not the end of the events with the new pair of ninjas.













When kids act more mature than you do it's a sure sign you are a loser.

*stares*

What?

You're the one to talk!

I've got no idea what you mean. But we need to do something with that paedophile fellow. We can't have such an animal left unleashed.

I've got a foolproof plan. Trust me



We still have pests to deal with.

Me and my force have already conquered their second last foothold. All that's left is the fortress.

Acknowledged. The siege strike team is already out and ready to go.





Shit, they beat us in terms of raw man-power.

Cheelax, we've got better siege equipment - Omachi. Gahahahaha!!!

Yeah, but if they managed to amass this forces so quickly I wonder what other nations will be capable of. The future doesn't look rad :/





Oh, fuck...



But it's nothing that massive nuclear barrage from Omachi and a couple of Elina's shikigami can't fix.



Victory is ours!!

Will you quit acting surprised already!?

There's no one who can stand against me!!

Now my reward!



:shock: You clicked that on purpose!

No, I did not

You filthy faggot, You're gonna DIE!!! RANCE ATTA... WTF happened to my Rance Attack?!

Let's just say it will take some time before you recover your full strength.

You maggot, I'll...

:mutes the speakers, minimizes the window:

And that'll be all folks for the first full update of Let's Gahahaha with Rance and Kenshin! - SRance if LP (NSFW) Hope you'd liked it. Now, let's give Rance a wee moment to cool down and come to his senses.

Next update this Tuesday at the soonest or the moment someone bumps this thread to another page (this one is really image heavy :/), whichever happens LAST.

Proud to do my part

Click to expand...

Money comes and goes (reallllly quickly in fact). A monk (slightly less damage warrior that auto heals basically) with 9 Atk/8 Def and the ability to restore AP to characters (say, have Elina cast protect all shikigami twice in a defensive battle) is something that will be useful for a long time. Just the costs saved on having him tank damage in the front line will quickly add up. On the other hand, 10k GP would only be enough to buy some 200 more troops and then its gone.
