ALPHA 0.9.3: Sales Strategy


My original plans for this update were derailed by an excellent player suggestion that I realized could be fulfilled while simultaneously giving the much neglected corporation some attention. The corporation now has its own slave market, which starts out offering very generic slaves but can be customized through a series of decisions unlocked by developing the corporation itself. All arcologies in the Free City will give the corporation bonus profits if the slaves it offers appeal to the arcology's society model. It's very lucrative to spread Asset Expansionism from arcology to arcology while creating a corporation that specializes in big breasted slaves, for example, and doing so helps spread Asset Expansionism even faster.

0.9.3 changelog


Corporate slave training
  • Creating a corporation unlocks a new slave market, featuring slaves captured and trained by the corporation.
  • As a major shareholder the PC can purchase these slaves at a discount, which increases with ownership share.
  • Provided 18 corporate decisions that affect the slaves offered, unlocked by owning certain amounts of the appropriate corporate asset type.
  • Each future society in each arcology will provide the corporation with bonus profit if the corporation's slaves are demanded by that society model.
  • Society models provided with appropriate slaves by the corporation receive societal advancement.
Other updates
  • Descriptive refinements and code refurbishment, by Anon.
  • Added sexual energy decay at low devotion, calibrated so that most new slaves with healthy sexualities will see an initial decline as they adjust to slave life.
  • Sexual energy decay at low devotion is reduced for slaves performing nonsexual jobs, encouraging extended training prior assignment to sex work if high energy is desired.
  • Removed the breast size requirements for breast shape to affect beauty.
  • Slightly reworked breast shape surgeries and added RA support for performing them as cosmetic surgeries.
  • New random individual event for slaves with torpedo-shaped tits.

  • Slave school subsidy policies can no longer be enacted when school prosperity is already maximized.
