Yes, +1000 Gold was refering to Level 2. My bad should have made that clear. Started a new run and here the 1st Floor.
Interesting. That looks like it sorta works... but the -Control build-up doesn't look like it'd be very manageable. -13 Is pretty big, and if you stayed until Day 15 as you originally said, it'd have been -14 or -15. Sure, there's more Control Edicts that you can use... but having a constant Control at approximately -10 doesn't look very sustainable after you Subjugate level 2, because if both Riot at once at any point, your control can easily hit -25, on top of the Order Loss created by Riot...
That's on top of the fact that with that much loss every day, I believe you have to fight until dangerous levels of Fatigue to barely break even, correct? Can't have much room for the Bar Mini-game, which is currently the better way to make money compared to some other Edicts...
That 13 Corruption will hurt with the Nerds Blackmail though, and it will hurt even worse if you need more of it....
On a different note, I went and checked some of the Anarchy limits in the Prison.js, and it looks like this:
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_PERIOD_EASY = 60;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_PERIOD_NORMAL = 14;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_PERIOD_HARD = 7;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_LEVEL_ONE_MULTIPLER = 1;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_LEVEL_TWO_MULTIPLER = 3;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_LEVEL_THREE_MULTIPLER = 4;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_LEVEL_FOUR_MULTIPLER = 3;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_GRACE_LEVEL_FIVE_MULTIPLER = 1.5;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_DEC_EASY_DIVIDER = 3;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_DEC_LEVEL_ONE_DIVIDER = 1;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_DEC_LEVEL_TWO_DIVIDER = 2.4;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_DEC_LEVEL_THREE_DIVIDER = 3;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_DEC_LEVEL_FOUR_DIVIDER = 3.5;
const PRISON_ANARCHY_DEC_LEVEL_FIVE_DIVIDER = 3;
Now, the first bit is obvious enough. Base Grace Period for each difficulty. Looks like Secretary was put on 60 days, Warden on 14, Prisoner on 7. So aside from what looks like a doubled period for Easy, no changes to the values since they were introduced.
The multiplier bit is more interesting. It means that the base value is multiplied depending on the level. So for Prisoner Level 2, you have 21 days before Anarchy starts becoming a problem, and in theory, that should start ticking from the moment Level 2 becomes open. This is likely why you didn't start seeing level 2 issues before.
Also, it looks like ALL the levels will have it... which sucks major balls... but we were all kind of expecting it at this point...
The Divider bit though... I'm not 100% sure on... I think it's the number of days for each hit to Control. So on lvl 1, you get hit every day... so on and so forth. I'm not sure if the Easy Divider gets added to, or multiplies the individual floor values. Either way, it honestly looks like you'd have to try REALLY hard to fuck-up on easy... You're more likely to Edict yourself into a corner than anything else...
On the other hand, this could also display the actual hit to Control... but that wouldn't make any sense because it'd mean Easy sucks the worst right now...
Edit:
So, scouring around Discord, it seems that the Divider thing controls how quickly the penalty increases based on the number of days that have passed. It's also multiplied by the Easy value, so really, getting screwed over by the penalty on Secretary Mode is nigh impossible.
Additionally, from what I've see, the Penalty does NOT go away no matter what. So if you start incurring it, you have to live with it and have to deal with reduced Control PERMANENTLY.
All I can say is that this pretty much means that Yuki is right. You ARE forced to rush, at the very least, on Level 1, because if you don't, that increased penalty to Control can be disastrous on later levels. Even if you CAN manage it, you then still suffer the problem that too low Control means that you're spending all of your day just trying to break even on Order, making side-jobs impossible... and considering that there will be 4 of them in total, that sounds like an excellent way to stop having fun.
Just think about it. Levels 1 and 2 Rioting at the same time is horrible enough... What happens when 3 is added to the mix? Or 4? Dunno if we'll be able to continue playing after 5 is taken care of... but either way, you have little choice but to toe the line.
