A dating game?!
I just love this! :steamhappy:

I wonder what else they put in?!

I wonder if MuHa already planned this when they first announced the DLC, or if they saw that thread I started talking about a Thea 4X title, and then someone suggested a Thea Dating Sim.

Either way, this gives me hope that one day a Thea 4X game might be a thing.

Maybe. But tbh, I suspect a 4x game is hard to program with what they have right now. It'd be a wholly new game, and probably with another engine than what they currently use. But yes, it'd be cool to see. :)

How do you win the encounter after the event this early in the game? You can only bring in the 2 dating characters and the challenge seems to be too hard for them unless I'm missing something.

At least you get a kid immediately the following turn but still, seems strange to have a high chance of the date immediately dying the next turn.

Edit: Take in the strongest possible character you can, if you do a berserker start, it's not that difficult but a lot of other starts you probably wont be able to win the encounter in the early game.

As they said in the patch notes, it wasn't intended to be won everytime and instead was meant to give you a child the following turn. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/606230/view/3714951661259406872

I think the thing you're missing is the new character often stays, even if you loose the fight. Buuuuut, healing afterwards is crucial. Better have a healer ready in the group.

They will likely die the next turn after forfeiting or surrendering the event.
After this point it's just have to relying on luck to keep them alive either way even with a healer, that just increases the luck of them surviving.

You can split off your strongest party member to do the event which helps.

It just seems like a strange event to give you a character that'll likely die the following turn due to not being able to beat the challenge at the stage of the game the event comes up which is generally when you need the extra party members the most.

Anyway at least you get a kid out of it so that's something.

Some of the options seem really strong if they could actually beat the event.

I'll have to play around with this event some more to see if there's some other way to deal with it, maybe the best bet is just leaving it and coming back like 50 turns later with the strongest party member.

I've only had the event once, and it was easy for me. I'm playing on the hardest default difficulty, 200% or more, whatever it is. I had a barbarian (I think it's called, the new class) chosen and picked a seemingly generic undead as the date. I just did auto-combat and won with flying colors. Didn't realize it was supposed to be hard. :O She wasn't super strong either or with particularly good gear. Still a low level (started as a child though). Probably around turn 60.

Yeah I'm also on 200%.

Haven't done an undead one yet, just tried the female 1st and 3rd options so far.
Maybe the "other" option is easier than those or barbarian is much stronger than a warrior for the event challenge.

I think it's always the same challenge type, so pick someone with the appropriate skills and you should be able to win that challenge as soon as the story pops up - the characters you get from the dating game are very strong, so you ideally want to win that challenge and keep them.

Yeah that sounds like the way to go.

I don't know how much randomness there is to it. I'm pretty sure I picked the 3rd option. I liked #2's answers better (from a personal standpoint, that's who I would date), but #3 sounded like he might be undead and I was right. XD

Barbarians have pretty high base stats and good skills.

I haven't confirmed this, but I think number 3 changes depending on which god is your patron. I picked Lada at game start and the number 3 female option was themed around Lada, and she was also a strong character that came with good equipment.
Next time I'll pick a different god and I reckon the number 3 option will be themed for that god instead

There were quite a few good options all in all, I am glad we got the event :)

I went with Triglav and got an undead.

Just tried out a barb, wow they're really strong for early game!

Lotsa cool additions in this DLC!

I was training my chosen to be a witch but she never got mysticism and got a ton of destiny and I think I even took strength one level. So when barb showed up as an option I was like, why not?

Yes I love the new additions. :D
