Super Sailor Moon
Sadist Sedated
Had a lot of fun with it for a week or so. Well worth the less than $5 I paid for it. I would disagree with you that you can't make "certain types" of princesses, because nearly all of my playthroughs (victories and defeats alike) have had at least one set of skills all maxed out. You just have to have some other seemingly random assortment of other skills to deal with other hazards along the way. Utena-style princess with magic, swordfighting, and royal demeanor is my favorite.
biggrin My last playthough, I went for Lelouch Li Britannia style who is master of strategy and tactics!
Apparently, that military training does nothing against an arrow in your side.
Indeed it does not. If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, you either need skills in something like Archery or Reflexes, or just don't get attacked in the first place by declining the invitation.
It's been a while since I've played it, though, and I didn't spend all that much time on it relatively speaking, so I may be mistaken. But it's possible to win by specializing in strategy and tactics. You may need economics as well, and, of course, a few other skills necessary to pass some hazards depending on what paths you choose.
