The Dossier
1 min read
Part two of the handbook. One card per feature, written as the file the police keep on you, or the file the family keeps on the city. This is where the exact rules and formulas live. Every number comes straight from the game.
Part one, the basics in plain language, is in the handbook.
VIP night
What it is
Champagne, drawn curtains and a register that won't stop. A VIP business you own can run a night when you're in the right city. Doesn't count toward the season score.
Where to find it
Empire, Businesses, on a VIP card you own.
How it works
The business is yours and you're in that city.
A night costs 4 energy and gives 6 heat.
Take = (4 + the business's level) hours × the business's hourly income.
Then you wait 2 hours.
Costs, returns and limits
Part of the take counts as respect. The cooldown applies to all your VIP businesses together, not per business.
