One point in particular I want to point out in these otherwise excellent recent developments in your game, Dev:
Rivals stealing your honeys, and contract limit.
I have no problem with this new random adversity of rivals stealing your chicks, quite the opposite, it's an additional challenge.
The problem is the contract limit to 100, which is, I can assure you, as many other players already did in this thread, ridiculously low.
You basically need to have all your camgirls, photomodels, male and female models on contract to avoid getting them stolen. If the theft happened once or twice a year, ok, but it is systematic, even if you try to avoid it by reloading your game, sooner or later they all leave if not contracted.
Either you put the limit to 500, or 1000 (or just drop the limit thing from level 4 onwards, ideally), or you change the parameters of the game regarding rivals stealing the honeys. My models are all happy, I treat them very well, camgirls are all very happy, yet they systematically sign with the enemy as soon as their contract ends.
Once again, ok, that wouldn't be a problem if not for this strange rule you put regarding limit contract. I don't see what purpose it serves, and if it did serve one in the past, it is now incompatible with the rivals parameter. You basically work hard to provide us with a game that can be very big, and all that goes to waste because of the contract limit. We're forced to work with a tiny number of models (for example 15 camgirls, 10 photomodels, 30 male models, 45 female models), and those 9 studios you provide are way too many with what we can do.
I can only strongly advise you to simply drop the contract limit, as it is incompatible with your new (and cool) rival parameter.
