Menace Item Changes, and Some Accompanying Adjustments

As of today, we're updating the game to implement the mechanical changes we talked about in our last roadmap. We're also making some other tweaks to the game to go along with it; there are other adjustments we want to make going forward that depend on how today's changes bed in, but this is the first round of adjustments to Menaces more holistically:

  • Getting arrested at max Criminal Record is now much less punishing, putting Suspicion more in line with other Menaces.
    • Specifically, you will no longer lose Casing, Favours, or Notability upon being arrested. You won't lose Rostygold. Lost Echoes are capped at 70, but the amount of Echoes you lose is matched by a reduction in Suspicion.
    • Getting arrested with some criminal record will not cause you to lose Casing, Favours, Notability, Rostygold, or Echoes.
  • Greeting the Merry Gentleman now dismisses him for a week, among other effects. This option is tuned to be really good in the very early game but falls off as you progress Watchful.
  • Various items that reduce menaces have been slightly buffed:
    • A Firm Conviction in the Absence of the Supernatural
    • Spiked Rosary
    • Bejewelled Cane
    • Storm-Bird
    • Sober Dress/Set of Workman's Clothes
    • Tracklayer's Helmet
