# Update v0.9.0.5 — Corruption Reduction & Balance

Corruption is no longer a one-way street! 8 new actions allow strategic reduction of the corruption index.

## New Actions

**Volunteer Work** (from Level 1)

Visit a playground, shake hands at a senior home. Reduces corruption by 2.

**Publish Transparency Report** (from Level 2)

Disclose your side income. Costs power, reduces corruption by 3.

**Charity Donation** (from Level 2)

10,000 euros to charity. Good press, corruption -2.

**Anti-Corruption Speech** (from Level 3)

Thunder against corruption in parliament. Corruption -4, but hypocrisy rises.

**Hire Compliance Officer** (from Level 3)

Hire someone to keep watch. Or pretend to. Corruption -5.

**Initiate Internal Audit** (from Level 4)

Show you're cleaning up — risky, because the audit might find you too. Corruption -6.

**Offer Witness Protection Deal** (from Level 4)

Throw a colleague under the bus. Corruption -8, but your network suffers.

**Found a Charity** (from Level 5)

A "non-profit" foundation. Costs 100,000 euros, reduces corruption by 10.

## Balance Changes

  • Employee allowance adjusted to reality: State Parliament 4,670 euros, Bundestag 22,800 euros

  • Fixed 5 actions with pointless power balance (cost = gain)

  • Leaderboard now shows your player name instead of a random ID

  • Player profile updates after game end

  • Menu buttons properly translated

  • Challenge modifiersBetter layout, umlauts fixed

# Update v0.9.0.4 — Online Features: Leaderboards, Leagues & More

Vetternwirtschaft goes online! Compete with other players across Steam, itch.io and Android.

## New Features

**Leaderboards**

Weekly rankings, all-time high scores, and friend comparisons. Who can reach the highest corruption score?

**League System**

Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum — climb or fall each week. Show what you're made of.

**Streak System**

Play daily and build your streak. A weekly freeze protects you from losing it once.

**Player Profile**

Your stats at a glance: wins, favorite strategy, league, win rate and more.

**Friends**

Add players by username and compare yourself directly with your friends.

**Prestige**

After a victory, start a "New Legislature" — with permanent starting bonuses.

**Cloud Save**

3 cloud save slots. Save on Steam, continue on Android.

**Challenge Modifiers**

8 optional difficulty modifiers before starting a game. Harder conditions = higher score multiplier.

**Shareable Game Report**

At game end: export your results as an image and share them.

**Name Filter**

Improved name validation during character creation.

**New Scoring System**

Completely reworked score calculation: Base + Efficiency + Risk + Style, multiplied by mode and result factors.
