addedNew: Prestige Mode Ready for a real challenge? Prestige Mode is available across all game modes — Historic, Sandbox, and Custom. It features tighter scoring thresholds, harsher economic relationships, and your policy decisions carry significantly more weight. The economy won't self-correct as easily — you have to steer it with more aggressive policy.
addedNew: Steam Achievements (12) "Prestigious Era" allows players to show off your monetary policy credentials once they've completed a 30-year era on Prestige mode.
changedBalance Changes
addedPrestige Mode economics: Your monetary policy decisions now have 35% more impact on the economy. Mean reversion is reduced by 30% — the economy won't fix itself, you have to act. Good policy can now dampen crisis pressure by up to 75% (up from 60%). Credibility matters 40% more — skillful forecasting is rewarded.
addedSandbox mode: Your policy decisions now have significantly more impact on economic outcomes. The economy still has structural forces, but the Fed Chair is needed now more than ever.
