Update Notes For v0.66.02

[h3]Shenzhen[/h3]

Introducing the city of Shenzhen, where rent is relatively cheap but good luck affording a home!



I've tweaked the max number of spawns for different sites to depend on a city's unique characteristics. For example in Shenzhen, the large manufacturing industry means you will find more Industrial Parks.

Similar changes apply to all other existing cities (Singapore spawns less Housing Estates but more Apartments, New York spawns more Corporate Offices, etc).

[h3]Passion Improvements[/h3]
You can now set a Large House or Apartment Complex as goals for the Home Building passion.



The Large House requires some Interior Design work, while the Apartment Complex is a longer term project that requires a Civil Engineer.



The Football passion has an additional goal of becoming the Most Valuable Player.



Achieving this goal grants you the MVP status effect, allowing you to Shill Corporate Products for more money than regular sponsorships.



But shill too much and risk disappointing your followers...
