This version should be all good, I don't think will be needed to restart a game from scratch again after this. Crossing fingers

What's New in 0.6.4
- items losing gem's bonuses randomly: I put a sort of "refresh" so that every time you end the turn, it refreshes the character's stats. I made a test with a savegame, and seems to work. Let me know if this happens again, though now should be much more difficult I think!! (hopefully this hack didn't cause any other issues).
- updated the robbery intro text with the new change to merchants having more money and nobles more gems
- the fix for not repeating the last romance scene (character explaining the bonus) was causing a crash for all characters! Now should work.
- Thalia + MaryAnn romance was showing a wrong forest BG when replayed in gallery
- When an enemy ambushes or when you ambush an enemy, the speed bonus is now 99, so you're sure to strike first (before bonus was only 10, so could happen that you didn't strike first!)
- added the item equipment screen in the catacombs: before, choosing the honor item rewards, you could enter a mission with more than the 5 items limit. Now, you need to pick your setup every time you explore the catacombs, similarly to what happens with the robbery missions, so you can't "cheat"
- tested ALL catacombs levels. Of course, if you had a save in a wrong position, that won't be solved. But if you start the catacombs from level 1, you shouldn't encounter any more problems and always enter at the right room!
- you now get the ultimate weapons for the sisters only in the fourth main plot mission. This way they won't unbalance anymore the early battles, in particular the catacombs

In case you're wondering, the main plot missions text aren't edited by Forsaken yet, I wrote them myself ops

Gems still don't get added to inventory from the Elemental boss fights on catacombs level 7, sending a save.

Buying Advanced Survivor set gives me nothing (sending save).

Thanks will check them

Ok, buying potion sets in catacombs is broken. You get the next set in the row instead. So choosing "Nothing" gives "First Aid Set", choosing "Energy Set" gives "Basic Offensive Set", and choosing "Advanced Survivor" gives "Nothing". You still pay the price listed though, so you can choose "Nothing" over and over and get 3 minor healing every time for free.

Ah lol! The guards are being a bit too generous then

I made it through the catacombs with no crashes, no repeat encounters, and no starting in the wrong place. Hurrah!!

I can't trigger last scene with Kira & Mary-Ann and Kira & Moirgane (where you get a bonus), not sure if it is a bug or if I am missing something, but I do still get their endings.

Also I know you talked about some really good vocal theme song and I am not sure where it is suppose to be but it is nowhere to be heard.

Good! I hoped that would work. So from 0.6.5 will be mostly tweaking battle difficulty (unless there are more issues in the robberies).
A bug I couldn't reproduce is the crash you had while doing the duel against a named mercenary. I need to test that again to find out why.

I might have forgot to make them trigger, if you have saves with those romances done, missing just last scene, I'd like to get it

I put it in the credits screen only for now (you can see it from main menu).

Here they are(1-4 for Moirgane, 8-6 for Mary-Ann):

I am not sure witch version of game I used to create those saves as my saves got a bit mixed up but they both work with 0.6.4
