Since I just had this issue and it took me sleeping on it to figure it out, I will post it here. When you go to apply unren for the drm fix, remember to delete the unren bat file afterwords. The game will not run if it has a bat file in its folder.
I fixed that. That's one of the things that isn't an issue anymore. Game no longer checks for anything that the Dev added as extra DRM including .Bat files. The old fixes that got removed (I didn't do it) all worked again as well. My goal was to get the 3 fixed that I had seen on here to work. Intially all I did was create an enabler for the DRM but some reason the links for the DRM removers were removed and I had them all downloaded so decided to just provide the simplest one which didn't require running a .bat or .cmd. I just never tested to see if the game ran without Unren.bat first and the files I altered were done after I ran it cause unsure of how to do it any other way. It may not work as is with next update but it's not a hard fix to get around. Ren'Py is a terrible thing for devs to try and implement extra DRM on cause of how simple it is to get around it. I will say a lot of people were doing some convoluted methods but it was always a simple fix but no one looked for what was causing the issue. I just happen to have a habit of going into Ren'Py games files and finding what I can and can't edit to cheat in games. ATM I'm working on D'Legacy to figure out how to cheat in it without errors poping up every time the player has a stat change. I have 0 knowledge on how to make a user friendly interface so it's only for people that know console commands. I usually don't share them. I do wish I knew how to create something that it was just buttons but it's not my forte.

Incoming long boi!!!

Some of this is why I usually just throw her into the dungeon. To me she comes across as megalomanic delusional psychopath that won't stop at nothing to reestablish her family's rule which has been entirely founded on the might of the dragons. That is why her family's legitimacy was always foul, it is entirely founded on force and not even their own force but by virtue of someone elses force aka the dragons. That is why Balthorne, as scummy and inept as he is no doubt, was able to usurp her position in the first place and was maybe even right to do so because her legitimacy was none existent and her family's rule by nature tyrannical
Why wouldn't she try hard to reestablish herself? It's not like she was dethroned by the will of the people. She's not trying to return from years of inactivity. Hell the whole games occurs within months iirc. She suffered a sudden coup from the inside. Then imprisoned while still being the rightful heir. And saying the legitimacy is foul because of dragon might is weird. Replace dragon with army and you get many a kingdom. It also ignores her unique bloodline that allows her to birth dragons unlike everyone else's kobolds. Which would've automatically ascended her family from when dragons were a lot more common and revered. And again, replace dragon with army and you have standard kingdom. A kingdom's army just like a dragon, is not a force coming from the rulers themselves. And no, Balthorne was not right in what he did. Because it was made clear that he was a failure in his rule and made things much worse. Then this last bit, huh? Her legitimacy is whatever was decided when the kingdom came to be. And how is it just tyrannical? Some dragons were tyrants. Some weren't, like the dragon that came before the player. Can't just label tyrant because someone has and wields power.

Then as a solution to this she basically let's loose a new born dragon with all the consequences you have described at length and to her that is all totally fine and dandy. Who cares if thousands die or end up in enslavement? As long as Adaline gets her throne back she is happy. I might be a chaotic force of morally highly debatable standing that does what it wills with others but even I can recognize that Mina or Heloise wouldnt have to deal with any of this shit without Adeline kicking it of, no matter how much I personally profit from it or how pleasant I perceive that result to be.
This is a weird framing. It's not like she imported an invasive species, went outside, then said let's fuck this natural balance up! She gave birth to the dragon because it was needed. Then it escaped because of the the coup and impending demise. To which we as the players decide how things go. You make it seem like her intent was to just fuck shit up.

This invalidates any sway she ever had aswell as any good will for her for that matter. Not only does she deliberately risk the ruination of the people she supposedly wants to rule but she also expects you, the dragon, to do all the dirty work for her and then she just expects to rule while having done jack shit to deserve it by any merit. It is also not like I as the dragon owe her any allegiance or loyalty for thrusting this existence upon me. (Honestly as far as rulership by merit goes Mina or Heloise have done and endured more to deserve it AND even bring valueable skills to the whole thing)
....what? She gave birth to a dragon. The way it was done is fucked. But birthing dragons isn't some unnatural anomaly and auto doom sentence. If it wasn't for the last king and queen pulling a perma disappearing act. Another dragon would've been born, she would've been married to it, on the throne, knocked up, business as usual. But this next bit is really confusing... what was she supposed to do? She was imprisoned. And yes she expected to rule, while fulfilling her natural duties, by her right. And for the dragon to do what dirty work? Come back to claim their rightful throne? To save her? The mom/future baby momma/wife/queen? Why would she not hope for that?

At the end Adeline is living in her own delusions of grandeur and in an Adeline x Dragon fantasy world completely detached from reality and the worst thing is that she always thinks she is doing the right thing for you and her. She has the ability to retroactively justify everything she does this way.

Giving someone like that any sort of authority over anything is not only foolish but also dangerous to everyone else around her and at the end of the day her motives are entirely self serving while doing virtually nothing to deserve it and I dont vibe with that at all. In fact handing her the satisfaction of this victory might be among the most "evil thriumps" scenarios I can imagine.
And again.... what? Is it really a delusion when you as the player can literally make it happen? If the coup never happened, things would've more then likely proceeded exactly as she wanted it. And let's be honest here. She is the default choice. With everything else being alternatives. As for the rest... imma be honest. It just sounds like you don't like her.

Pregnant queen Darja? Imagine soiling your future wife's womb with low-born, simple kobolds instead of keeping it fresh for true, pureblood dragons. SMH.
Yeah, they kinda do magic stuff and she ain't lowborn anymore. Basically warlock guy fuses her with the princess.

Haven't played this game in a while. Can we officially marry a companion instead of the queen if we want now? I am quite interested in doing that with a certain companion that you can see in my Ravager sig;).

Also, what are the major changes lately?

Oh, fellow Mina lover! Won't place her about Her Maliciousness, but I get the vibe - Scottish tiddy-greedy lady is top-tier waifu. And good to see Zizeryx on the list, finally! (who, by own admittance, is a male and technically belongs to husbando tierlist. Or both, given it's futa we are talking about)

Kinda surprised you didn't put Heloise in A or S - she is extremely good. Her romance is probably the most well-made in the game as of now.
Heloise romance just never did it for me, unless I haven't found a better path, it always felt unclear if she ends up falling for the Dragon because of anything real, or just weird elf/dragon compulsion fuck magic. The simplicity of Minas romance is why she's S+ for me. She hates you, but than through the power of C A P T A L I S M and minor favoritism, she tolerates you. And than by showing as much kindness to her and the others as a dragon as capable of, *then* she finally loves you.

But even then, it's this pseudo detached love of a business partner that's caught feelings, and is enjoying the agreement you both have of not speaking in depth about it too much to be anything more. The scene where she fucks the dragon on the hoard, and she gets caught up in the moment and want's to be queen, and wants to be pregnant, before crashing down to earth in the afterglow with both fondness for the dragon, and disappoint in herself, is the best sex scene in the game. The scene where tries to take the farm girl under her wing to show her how to properly "exploit" you is my favorite *scene* in the game.

This is my Mina propaganda, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Hmmmm...a little assistance, please? I played this a few years ago and figured I give it another go. This time I cannot launch; I get an error about not having a license and launches Steam. Any ideas? I apologize if this was already covered. Thank you!!!

Have to download the DRM Fix linked in the OP. Game released on steam and that's how we get it now so gotta go around the DRM.

You can marry your daughter, Darja (requires warlock from ancient spire) and I think that's it ATM.

And how is it just tyrannical? Some dragons were tyrants. Some weren't, like the dragon that came before the player. Can't just label tyrant because someone has and wields power.

Yeah that is the problem though. She has no power and the point is precisely that she does not have an army because her guard rebelled against her. Aside from that Legitimacy is not only build on force, it is also build on the loyality, just rule and social contracts. We are talking about a feudal society here, aside from the royal/palace guards, rulers (historically) didnt have big standing armies to enforce their rule with and they didnt need to for most of the time. Their rule was based on allegiances, contracts and the loyality of the nobility. To some degree this is even true for modern societies.

Clearly Adeline had none of that personally and that Balthorne was able to pull this whole stunt speaks to the fact that at least her recent family hadnt had much of that either. To me it all reads like that the only reason they were in power was the fact that they had a mythical force at their side that did their bidding for them and feared the nobility and populace into subservience. It should come at no surprise that someone tried to get rid of that at the first opportunity they got because that is precisly what always happens when you exclusively rule by force and fear.

(I'll give though that Adeline maybe hasnt much personal fault in this and it's more her parents/ancestors fault, but that is life. Sometimes you lose on no fault of your own.)


This is a weird framing. It's not like she imported an invasive species, went outside, then said let's fuck this natural balance up! She gave birth to the dragon because it was needed. Then it escaped because of the the coup and impending demise. To which we as the players decide how things go. You make it seem like her intent was to just fuck shit up.
Fair point. At the beginning of the story that is true and here I retro-actively assigned her blame for something that will happen to at least some degree over the course of the game, but that is hindsight on my part and the only counterpoint would be that she maybe staked her expectations to high, so my bad.

....what? She gave birth to a dragon. The way it was done is fucked. But birthing dragons isn't some unnatural anomaly and auto doom sentence. If it wasn't for the last king and queen pulling a perma disappearing act. Another dragon would've been born, she would've been married to it, on the throne, knocked up, business as usual. But this next bit is really confusing... what was she supposed to do? She was imprisoned. And yes she expected to rule, while fulfilling her natural duties, by her right. And for the dragon to do what dirty work? Come back to claim their rightful throne? To save her? The mom/future baby momma/wife/queen? Why would she not hope for that?
I mean she can personally hope for that to happen, but that is all wishful delusion on her part. She expects a dragon that has by all accounts virtually no connection to her aside from "I am your mom, go kill Balthorne for me" to just solve her issues for her the instance it's born. Honestly the fact that we as the players even go to do that eventually is more by virtue of the game forcing us narratively to do so. At least I see no reason for a dragon to really care about some throne somewhere when he really doesnt have a reason to do so. You are clearly in the position to do more or less what you want anyways.

In any case the dragon has no reason to specifically care what Adeline wants and that's precisely the issue again. She expects things to allign with her wishes while no one else has reason or motiviation to comply with them. Her entire world view is ultimately entitled. (Again she was born into this, so by virtue of her upbringing this might be her natural expectation, but reality has no obligation to comply with the expectations of anyone.)

Also I won't go into another whole tangent about what legitimate rule is based on and what constitutes as such and frankly there have been philosophers struggling to define and explain it for the past 3000 years that were much smarter than me, so why dont you give some of them a read. It's a fascinating topic imo. (I can wholeheartedly recommend the "History of Philosophy without any Gaps" by Peter Adamsson, a great podcast with attached website).

And again.... what? Is it really a delusion when you as the player can literally make it happen? If the coup never happened, things would've more then likely proceeded exactly as she wanted it. And let's be honest here. She is the default choice. With everything else being alternatives. As for the rest... imma be honest. It just sounds like you don't like her.
You are god damn right, that I dont like that entitled little brat of a wannabe queen :D

(Tbf the story doesnt do much to make me like her. You get to know all the other "waifus" much more intimately and by virtue of that she falls down the end, so maybe not even her fault. There is just simply less of a personal connection to her)

P.S.: If I had the choice I'd probably sent her off to house arrest somewhere where she can pick up knitting or whatever but that's no choice, so it's either dungeon or queen and I dont feel like indulging her, so maybe she can hope for the dev to eventually have some mercy for her? Wouldnt be the first time she hoped for a third party intervention xP

Well, idk about all that, i just know that after using unren and putting in the drm bypass, it wouldn't run for some reason. It would launch, show the little start up where it fills in the ravager text, and then disappear entirely, with nothing loaded. After deleting the unren.bat it worked again.

Damn. When will I be able to fulfill my promise to Marie-Anne to make her the queen :(.

Also, does the queen have to be in prison for you to marry Darja? Or can you do it with the queen still free? Doesn't feel right to imprison her tbh.

I so appreciate you response! I'm a bit of an idiot though, and I see the instructions, but am probably still doing it wrong. I download the DRM fix, then I extract, but what do I move into the game folder, the entire DRM folder or just one of the apps inside? Again, I apologize!!

Wait, you gotta give up Adeline to go that route with Darja? Damn, what’s the point of the power fantasy option when you still have to make so many goddamn sacrifices.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/00start.rpy", line 241, in script call
call _splashscreen from _call_splashscreen_1
Exception: Could not find font 'NotoSansTC-Medium.otf'.

What is going on and how should I resolve this?

Only the queen can give birth to dragons. This has nothing to do with "power fantasy".
