v1.1.5 — Empires, Estates & Polish NEW: ICELAND COMES TO THE MAP • All estates and fleets can now be looked after by a new Caretaker: hire one and your cars, jets, yachts and properties stop decaying and never break down (for a small daily fee). NEW: IN-GAME HELP & GUIDE • A full Help & Guide is built into the Profile tab — 13 topics covering tapping, businesses, IPOs, the market, crypto/ETFs/REITs, the bank, taxes, the economy, M&A, and pro tips. NEW: PERFORMANCE, BATTERY & SMOOTHNESS • Squashed the periodic freeze/stutter — gameplay is smooth now. • Big optimizations under the hood: the game runs cooler and saves battery. • Your big businesses (Tech, Mining, Semiconductor, Bank) now pay out on one streamlined, efficient cycle. • Your Cash and Net Worth now climb smoothly in real time, in sync — no more jumping in steps. NEW: PLAY ABROAD, PAY LOCAL • The stock market now shows prices and trades in your local currency, not just dollars. SMARTER IPOs & EMPIRE • "Ready to Go Public" card + a clear IPO button telling you exactly what each company still needs to list. • Empire Valuation now has a description, and its "per day" figure matches your Combined Business P&L exactly. • Mega IPOs priced: SpaceZ ($135), Anthripic ($96.50), ClosedAI ($200). BIG BUSINESS OVERHAUL • Semiconductor: exact deal revenue, 3 deals in Stage 1, timed stage expansions (skip half the wait), requires Global Offices. New hireable Deal Negotiation Desk staff ($6,000/day, up to 3). Customer logos show on deal screens, the process-node race is tougher, and deal names no longer show internal codes. • Mining Operation: deal caps 3 / 5 / 7 by tier; Tier 3 profit balanced instead of runaway billions/day. • Tech Platform: growth and income grounded to realistic scale. • Vending: long-term contracts now correctly show your boosted profit estimate. • The "skip upgrade" cooldown is now per-business — speeding up one company no longer blocks skipping another. • "Stats" renamed to "Overview" everywhere; cluttered per-day strips cleaned up. GO PUBLIC — A REAL IPO SYSTEM • Hire an investment bank to underwrite your listing — Boutique (70% success), Major (90%), or Elite (98%). A weak offering can be pulled, so choose wisely. • IPO valuation = your annual earnings x a real industry multiple (Tech 15x, BioPharma 20x, Bank 8x…). • Choose how much to sell (10–30%), keep the rest. Realistic share prices — no more million-dollar shares. • A business must be worth $1B and earn $200M/year before it can list. PRIVATE INVESTORS • While private, investors may offer to buy 1–40% of your company for cash — grow faster, but give up equity before you go public. LIFE AS A PUBLIC COMPANY • Dividend policy: Growth (0%), Income (20%), or Mature (50%). • Sell more shares later with secondary offerings. • Drop below 50% and face hostile takeovers — buy back shares to defend control, or take the company private. MINING OPERATION — MULTIPLE MINES • Open Copper, Iron, Gold, Lithium & Coal mines, each tracking its own commodity price. • A Cave-In or strike now shuts down only ONE mine, not the whole operation. ECONOMY & BALANCE • Tech Platform income rebalanced to realistic scale. Crypto Mining cheaper to start & upgrade. Vending needs far fewer staff. Auto-staff can be toggled ON/OFF. MAJOR FIXES • Fixed a Market-tab crash and a bug that removed stock without paying you back. • Fixed freezes when leaving a business screen, tapping popups, or skipping days. • Fixed business income not updating your cash — now credits smoothly. • Fixed the downturn popup repeating on every day-skip. • Business profit now matches everywhere — headline, P&L, and real cash. • Fixed "Going Viral" and other event popups that could trap you when low on cash; events appear less often. • Expired vending contracts can be re-signed. • Crypto, ETFs, REITs & commodities now show in Portfolio → Investments; ETFs added to Search. Thanks for playing — go build your empire!

LUXURY ESTATES — A NEW ENDGAME • Private Island Resorts — turn any private island into a resort empire. Build through 4 stages (Eco Retreat → Mega Resort), hire staff across 8 roles, add 14 amenities, and ride out seasonal demand and surprise events for a serious daily income. • Real Estate Flip Pipeline — own US property to unlock house-flipping. Buy distressed homes, pick a renovation tier, then list and sell for profit. Own more US real estate to run more flips at once. • Classic Car Auction House — collect 5+ cars to unlock monthly auctions. Bid against AI collectors, consign your own cars, and hunt 5 ultra-rare auction-only legends you can't buy anywhere else. A LIVING STOCK MARKET • Real-world prices — new games launch at live market prices for 80+ real companies, then simulate forward. • Accurate market caps that reflect real shares outstanding — the trillion-dollar giants finally look the part. • S&P 500 index funds that track the real index and move together. • 21 industry filters (up from 6) — Tech, Chips, Banking, Energy, Defense, Aerospace and more. • New listings (Microson, Bluewire, Rocket Space) and a tighter, curated market. VISUAL POLISH • Beautiful new hand-illustrated artwork for 15 vehicles. • Company logos everywhere — earnings calendar, top movers, AI picks, your portfolio, and every market list. BALANCE & FIXES • Portfolio logos no longer flicker. • Delisted stocks now clear out properly. • Logos no longer disappear when viewing all ETFs, REITs & Commodities. • Smoother, more reliable market data with graceful offline handling.

Diversifying now pays off. • Interactive Business Events — random opportunities and crises hit your businesses with real choices: sponsor a celebrity, weather an equipment failure, ride a viral moment, and more. • Recession Gameplay — when a downturn strikes, decide how to respond: cut costs for fast cash, invest counter-cyclically for the rebound, or ride it out. • Operations Staff (Automation) — hire a Floor Manager to auto-tap, a Chief Accountant to auto-pay your taxes, and a Treasurer to earn yield on idle cash. • Difficulty Modes — choose Normal or Hard (Hard cuts income and turns on bankruptcy for a real challenge). • Wealth Ladder — a full net-worth milestone track on your Profile showing your next goal, progress, and rewards. • First-Time Tutorial — a quick welcome walkthrough for new tycoons. • Double Your Offline Earnings — option to instantly double the cash your empire made while you were away. BALANCE & REALISM • Realistic staffing requirements — you now need a believable workforce to scale a business up a stage (a global supermarket needs hundreds of thousands of staff, not a handful). • Rebalanced the overall economy so wealth grows at a more satisfying pace. • Tuned shop/supermarket valuations. POLISH • Added haptic feedback on milestones, upgrades, and key moments. • Cleaner pop-ups — rewards and events now appear one at a time. • Profile, business, and ladder UI refinements. • Added a Remove Ads option and other store options.
