These values better reflect the reward versus effort of each strategy.
Stress Rebalance
Stress generation is now tied much more closely to debtor personality.
Examples:
- Cooperative debtors generate much less stress.
- Financial hardship debtors reward empathetic approaches.
- Aggressive personalities punish poor decisions.
- Pressure creates noticeably more emotional strain than respectful negotiation.
- Debtor pushback now scales according to both the debtor type and the tactic you chose.
This creates more meaningful differences between easy and difficult calls.
Resource Tracking
- Daily Energy Used now records the actual amount spent.
- Daily Stress Gained now records the actual stress applied after reductions.
- Stress is consistently capped at maximum limits.
- Third-party calls now display their energy costs before selection.
- Third-party actions also charge the exact displayed energy amount.
- "Document and Move On" now properly benefits from energy and stress reduction equipment.
