Step into a brutal saga of vengeance and carnal dominion as Karder Dal-Arouya, a disgraced prince clawing back his stolen empire. Blending tactical conquest with morally ambiguous choices, Vae Victis challenges players to wield brutality, seduction, or both to reclaim a throne—and decide what legacy follows. Will you forge a tyrant or a temptor?
The Usurper’s Gambit
Karder’s path is fraught with treachery, lust, and strategic gambits:
1. Bloodline Betrayal: Hunt the queen mother who exiled him, uncovering secrets that blur the line between vengeance and obsession.
2. Dominion Through Deviance: Subjugate rivals via psychological warfare, public humiliation, or intimate manipulation to secure loyalty or fear.
3. Beasts and Consorts: Recruit mythical creatures and cunning allies, each offering unique perks—or vulnerabilities—to exploit in battle and politics.
Conquest Mechanics with Carnal Consequences
Every victory demands a choice between cruelty and cunning:
• Battlefield Brutality: Crush enemies in tactical skirmishes, leveraging terrain and unit morale to break their will before the killing blow.
• Prisoner “Rehabilitation”: Convert defeated generals into spies, concubines, or sacrificial pawns—each decision altering your empire’s stability and perks.
• Seductive Statecraft: Negotiate with scheming nobles through carnal diplomacy, risking scandal for powerful alliances or blackmail material.
A World of Dark Allure
Navigate a realm where power and desire are interchangeable currencies:
1. Shifting Allegiances: Trust no one—today’s lover could be tomorrow’s usurper, incentivizing paranoia and preemptive strikes.
2. Dynamic Reputation: Your methods shape Karder’s legend, unlocking unique dialogue, quests, and endings (tyrant, liberator, or hedonistic destroyer).
3. Hidden Depths: Unearth forbidden rituals, secret bloodlines, and erotic artifacts that amplify your strength… for a price.
