Here comes the first anniversary of Paper Dolls: Original. To celebrate the memorable moment the game will be 50% off from 7:00am Apr 23 PST, and the sale will last for two weeks.

Thank you for your love and support. Hope you enjoy Paper Dolls!

We are super excited to announce that Black Book is coming to Kickstarter on May 5th. Furthermore, it’s coming with a playable Prologue available on Steam the same day!



The Prologue is a full-fledged chapter that depicts Vasilisa becoming a sorceress. It lets you follow Black Book’s storyline from the very beginning and dive into the gameplay before full release — core mechanics remain the same.



Begin your adventure, collect and combine cards to create unique devastating spells and fight infernal creatures from Slavic folktales: various demons and devils. Will you subdue or submit to the evil? That depends on how wisely you choose your weapon.

If we choose to stimulate employment, POPs will hire more people than needed to do the job, such as specialists in the field of "facilitation."

If we facilitate layoffs, POPs will fire more people as needed.


In real life, layoffs will still occur: for absenteeism, lateness, and the like. But the number of layoffs will be significantly reduced.

Will the number of employees decrease, especially during the crisis?
Yes, for various reasons, including retirement
the number of employees will gradually decrease.

And once a year after graduation, new unemployed, former schoolchildren and students in large numbers will be added.

after the ban on layoffs, their number will drop sharply.
Once a year, in accordance with this schedule, the game will calculate how many people leave the pop, including retiring. (that's about 3%)

Then the game will calculate how many people graduate from school and add them to the unemployed.
When hiring, those POPs who pay a large salary hire workers earlier than others.

Also, according to this schedule, the number of pensioners is calculated every year.


From this graph we can estimate the number of rich and poor people.
communists correspond to the poor. Аnd liberals are half as many as rich citizens.

That's all for today!
Next time we will learn about the differences between POPs.

This Patch includes fixes and updates for the 2020 Season 2 Release.

What’s the first thought that crosses your mind when you find a lonely settlement with no affiliation to a particular state? Easy target, right? Well, you might think twice if you play Imperiums: Greek Wars.



Autonomous cities are not soulless entities. Their people live in peace and do not care for the world outside their city boundaries. Truly, they live by the motto “live and let live”. They cultivate the surrounding tiles, build roads and improve their city as anyone would do. They develop and grow as any other human society. But don’t be fooled by their peaceful behavior, they are far from being weak and defenseless. They are capable of spawning defenders when foreign units appear nearby or step into their territory, and these defenders can be a tough nut to crack.

If you think that you can just roll right over them, you might be caught out with a nasty surprise. These autonomous cities have no government that you can send envoys to, but the AI recognizes a threat when it sees one. Foreign troops closing in on its city is one good example. The moment you take any action against them, you make them to break their oath of a non-violent life and they will fight until the last breath – theirs or yours. Poking your finger into a wasps nest is likely to get you badly stung, so be warned!



P.S. We have some good news for those who like to take it easy though. This whole feature is fully optional. If you would rather have a world where autonomous cities do not fight back, you can make it so.

Changes:
- upgrade from the Unreal Engine 4.20 to 4.24
- fixed sound/video desynchronization (lag) in the movies in the PAT songs (fixed by the new engine)

Now there is a garbage can. You can throw away the things you don't need as much as you like, but it's an irrevocableːsteammockingː
