All member poll
This is a poll for the newly added combat, also works as a more detailed explanation to it.
So something to make clear: The combat is a minigame, just a lot more work. And I need more input for it, especially when it comes to balancing.
Some explanation first:
There are currently 3 fights in the game: a tutorial (vs 1 soldier), a normal fight (vs 3 soldiers), and a hard fight (vs Tanya). Both the tutorial fight and the hard fight use special stats to make the fight either extremely easy (for the tutorial) or really difficult (vs Tanya).
The tutorial fight is of course with a stats boosted MC and a dummy soldier to teach players the basic mechanics of the combat.
In contrast, the Tanya fight is designed to be a fight for a forced-to-lose event, so winning this fight is hard: nerfed MC, buffed Tanya, but there's an early reward scene if you manage to stun and drain her. It is designed to be punishing, I actually planned to make it even more difficult (all perfect), but decided to loosen the requirement 🐥
Because both fights above are outliers, what I want to discuss is the normal fight (vs 3 soldiers) and future ones as well.
The MC you get in combat has his stats converted from all 5 stats (STR, INT, AGI, CHA, ABI), with STR for attack power, INT for MP, AGI for speed (turn priority), CHA for LUCK (crit chance), ABI for DEF, and an average of 5 stats for HP.
In the future, if you don't want to play the combat minigame, you can skip it, in exchange, there will be a stats check (e.g. 30 AGI to continue).
This is also how I plan to balance things: If players have fitting stats (the one requires to complete the check), their timings (the flash) can just be all GOOD and they would still win the fight. While for players who like a challenge, getting PERFECT can help with unlock events right away without having to rely on stats check.
A lot of words. but here is the question: RATE THE DIFFICULTY OF THE FIGHT WITH THE 3 SOLDIERS.
Other than that, if you have any other input, you can just type it in the comment.

Will there be any scene with Tanya?
you mean next update? No, but she is going to have a scene soon.

Thank you for the news that in the future we can skip it. The timing with the flash is not fun, the turn based combat I have liked gives me time to react, this does not. Objectively I ended up changing my vote since the system is just right, I just didn't like it.
Is there any reward for beating Tanya?
not really, beating her is hard so locking a scene behind that is too punishing and forceful.
The current might be what I'd call "the perfect balance" between relaxing and thrilling, for an adult visual novel.
