The corporate battleground just got more competitive. AI-controlled companies now populate the PvP landscape — featuring iconic names like Stratton Oakmont, Gekko & Co, and Cyberdyne Systems. NPCs will auto-retaliate when attacked and occasionally launch their own hostile takeovers against you. Income skimming now pays out over 4 hours as bonus income/hr, and your attack rules page clearly shows what you'll earn before you strike.
v1.6FeatureNotifications
Notification System Overhaul
Push notifications now fire for all major game events: PvP attacks, division upgrades, AP full, deal cooldowns ready, SEC audits, cash warnings, and more. A new notification preferences page lets you toggle exactly which alerts you receive. Similar notifications are now grouped in the notification center to keep things clean.
v1.5BalanceHeat
SEC Heat Penalties Now Enforced
SEC Heat penalties are no longer just visual — they're real. Investigation tier (heat 51-75) now reduces division income by 15-30% and deal success by 10%. Lawsuit tier (76+) hits income by 35%. The Watchlist tier (26-50) introduces random SEC audits with a 15% chance per hour to freeze a random division for 1 hour. Manage your heat wisely.
v1.4BalanceEmployees
Employee Skills Now Impact Income
Employee skills are now fully integrated into the game economy. Operations specialty employees passively boost division income regardless of assignment. Employees assigned to divisions boost that division's income. The employee page now shows team power summaries and tooltips explaining what each employee contributes.
v1.3FeaturePartner Games
Daily Bonus & Drugwars Integration
A new Daily Bonus section has been added to the Missions page. Complete a game of Drugwars to earn $10,000 + 200 XP + a guaranteed loot drop — higher value rewards than standard daily missions. More partner games coming soon.
