I have to agree with Decanter here, there's a lot that we are not seeing on screen as it were when it comes to the Doom King being suitably tyranical but you'll also notice that the vast majority of stuff that's going on have had Simon as 'the doomed king's captain' involved with them. As since it's been made clear early on the DK doesn't actually  get involved with these things, the genuine credit will go to Simon's personae and to Queen Janine rather than the distant IK that brutally assaulted their land. Basically, Simon is the prime minister along with Janine and the DK is the british king in terms of modern comparisons I can make. The most that the DK can take credit for is that these positive things Simon's been doing have happened under 'his' reign rather than any direct agency.

I also want to say in terms of Simon...boy did this latest update have some heavy hitters emotionally. I did not see them coming when it came to Wynn and I highly doubt that Simon has let it go as cleanly as the game shows. Yes he's able to work with her and keep things civil but she crossed a serious line, several in fact and that's going to come back later on...Also, does anyone think that the body involved will have a presence in the story as well? There's really only one way I think it'd work but at the same time...if that would be a pretty emotional scene.

As for the Zirantian Uyae...I'm thinking beargirl Conan. She's not stupid as the game seems to have warned us with the little grumpy moment about Qum's name and the entry to the tomb...but she's obviously missing...sections? of information I guess you can say. Basically I think she's ignorant, rather than stupid.

Also, who here used her in battle in the tomb and if so. what style did you use? She's fairly flexible in design I think (i can't see coding so idk the exact mechanics) but it does seem to require some planning thanks to the mana consumption and turn it takes to 'switch gears'. Still, I look forward to seeing more of what she can do.

As for the politics, I think it's safe to say that while we all had some idea, there have definitely been some curveballs thrown too. I honestly didn't expect the sexism and 'females only for breeding' aspect but now that it's there, I think it's going to be interesting to see if Simon can give any influence for the positive changes in their society. I'm also getting a similar vibe from the way the ZIrantian king is acting to the DK, in that he's obviously a figurehead and I think the Divine Claws are the biggest problem Simon will face. Yes the angry party as I call them are trouble but at the same time they are blatantly unsubtle and so are relatively predictable. The Divine Claw are quiet, seemingly isolateed and passionate...and who knows what they are up to.

This is primarily rambling but hopefully it's continue some quality chatting :)
