Update 0.8.67EA

[p]This update focuses on refining the Simulation layer of Hollywood Animal — the systems that shape competition, progression, and the overall balance of power in your cinematic empire. From smarter rivals to more meaningful awards, we’ve reworked a wide range of mechanics that define how the world reacts to your studio.
Here’s what’s changed under the hood:[/p]

[p]You now earn slightly more money from film distribution.[/p]
[p]Competitors’ film quality improves over time as the game progresses.[/p]
[p]Competitors have become better at choosing advertising for their films.[/p]
[p]More appropriate films are now nominated for — and win — the Pollux awards.[/p]
[p]The bonus from additional film promotion for Pollux has been increased.[/p]
[p]Competitors now participate more actively in Alliance voting and propose initiatives more often.[/p]
[p]Competitors now buy cinemas more aggressively and go after your employees more frequently.[/p]
[p]As your agents level up, it becomes even easier to carry out successful Offensive Operations.[/p]
[p]Competitors now protect their characters based on how successfully they are doing business. For example, you’ll be able to run Offensive Operations against Marginese staff with ease — but going after Gerstein Brothers employees will require high-level agents.[/p]
[p]More characters now have a preferred illegal gift.[/p]
[p]Characters’ favorite illegal gifts now differ more strongly from one another.[/p]
[p]Composers and editors now gain experience slightly faster.[/p]

[p]
Most Simulation changes apply to saves created before 0.8.67EA. That said, we recommend starting a new run to fully experience how your competitors’ behavior has evolved.
Alongside new content, this update also includes a list of fixes and improvements:[/p]
