It's a miracle

6th January 2017

Thank you for updating the Affection Multiplier! As promised, we have revamped the app to better suit your needs as President of your country!

To begin, here are the new functions you have unlocked!

Quests:

Just like in an RPG, you have unlocked quests, a system of tasks that rewards you with in-app currency called Affection Dollars each time they are finished! For convenience's and practicality's sake, quests are done daily or weekly and shall be refreshed each time according to their allocated duration. By accumulating enough Affection Dollars, you can spend them to unlock two things: National Perks and Character Traits, which will be explained down below.

If you find yourself unable to finish these quests, do not worry; unfinished quests will simply be rebooted and made available to take again. Do note, however, that while you can take on as many available quests as you like, be realistic in your capacity to fulfil them; just as you need time to fulfil said quests, you also need time for IRL things like work or me-time. You may not be able to accomplish all given quests in a given day or week, as well.

Also, the higher the reward, the harder the work and in some cases, the higher the risk.

Finally, the kinds of quests you can take are highly limited depending on your level, traits and specs. These shall be explained down below in: Character Stats.

Quests available:

Daily:

Beat up 3 punks: (0/3)

Spend at least 1 hour with Wakeyo and Amos: (0/1)

Earn €1,000 (0/1,000)

Weekly:

Earn €10,000 (0/10,000)

Beat up 21 punks: (0/21)

Spend at least 10 hours with Wakeyo and Amos: (0/10)

Current Affection Dollars: 800AD

Note: You earned 800AD from unlocking the hidden achievement, which is high-earning due to how many politicians nowadays are content to let endemic corruption lie and play by the rule, maintaining the status quo rather than changing it. We developers do not tolerate such sloth.

National Perks:

_These perks directly affect your country and will be the determining factor in changing and shaping it to your desired form. Whether it be handling ethnic tensions, endemic corruption or tackling weaknesses in the military, unlocking these perks will allow you to customize the affected national statuses! _For example, if you feel the need to create more Jewish migrants to your country, you can unlock a perk that automatically creates new migrants or home-grown communities that slowly unite a country culturally and socially. Considering your situation, we would highly recommend unlocking this kind of perk as soon as you have the ability.

Do note, however, that once you unlock them, they are permanent and cannot be changed back or disabled once they are implemented. As such, exercise extra due diligence and caution when using such perks. They can be unlocked using Affection Dollars, but these perks are extremely expensive to unlock due to how powerful they are. Furthermore, not all perks can be customised.

National Perks Available:

Jewish Homeland - Automatically generates Jewish migrants and indigenous citizens until the majority of your nation's citizens are Jewish. (Can customise cultural influences and ethnic diaspora) (Cost: 800AD)

United Against All Odds - Judaism has been one of the world's most persecuted religions for over two millennia. Even now, Jews are the victim of many religious hate crimes especially in developed, modern countries like the United States. Yet their ability to survive and thrive in any environment is a testament to their unyielding spirit as a people. (Huge bonus to national stability and development) (Cost: 500AD)

Harmony with Nature - In a day and age where nature is subject to the brutal, greedy and destructive tendencies of Man, it is important to be in harmony and minimise damage as much as possible, while keeping it in a suitably habitable state. All construction, agricultural and military testing projects will occur with this in mind. (Unlocks new research projects, nature automatically heals) (Cost: 1,000AD)

Character Stats:

Character specs are a measure of your personal capabilities, and are divided into five categories: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Charisma and Luck.

Strength: A measure of your personal strength - as the name implies. Directly affects your weightlifting and combat capabilities.

Agility: Determines how fast is your speed, and how well you navigate obstacles be it climbing, crawling, sliding or maintaining your balance. Also affects how well you dodge, which can be a lifesaver in **** situations.

Intelligence: Affects both your IQ and EQ, and thus your capability to read situations or understand academic subjects. If it is high enough, you may be able to conceive solutions to previously unsolvable problems.

Charisma: Directly affects how attractive you are as a person to individuals, and your capability to attract people to follow you as a leader. The higher your charisma, the more likely the people are to follow you to the ends of the earth. Also affects your chances at negotiations you personally participate in.

Luck: As the name says, it affects how lucky you are in life.

To improve them, you must level up by completing quests and earning EXP. Each time you level up, you get 5 points to spend upgrading your stats. Upgrade them enough, and you will become one of the top dogs of the human hierarchy.

Current level: 1
EXP to next level: 0/2,000

_Current stats:_
Strength: 8
Agility: 7
Intellect: 8
Charisma: 9
Luck: 5

Character Traits:

As the name suggests, this is a list of traits that affects you, the user. It can grant you enhanced strength and agility, making you a formidable warrior who can take down a hundred enemies at once; it can enhance your intellect, making you a genius capable of understanding every single academic subject in the world; it can make you the luckiest woman in the world, to whom misfortune shall never befall you or your friends and family in spite of challenges that come your way.

These traits still cost quite a bit of Affection Dollars and cannot be customized like National Perks but are relatively cheaper and thus easier to obtain. Considering that people with great power and responsibilities often make many enemies within and without, we developers strongly advise you unlock those pertaining to your survival as soon as possible.

Character Traits available:

Intrepid Warrior - Strong, steadfast, brave and intrepid, none can best you on an individual level save through sheer **** of numbers. (Cost: 300AD)

Master Tactician - None can come close to besting you in political intrigues and schemes. (Cost: 400AD)

Captain of Business - As a business conglomerate, you can easily make millions by commandeering slick, profitable and sustainable businesses staffed by competent, talented, loyal and wholesome staff. (Cost: 500AD)

That is all for now. Enjoy the updates and the perks offered!

_Sincerely,
The Affection Multiplier Devs- - - - - -

Aviel sighed as she read the news on the latest update, wondering if the offered quirks would actually work or if it was just a hoax. Then she remembered that thanks to investing her political power, Liberia was rapidly redeveloping its infrastructure and was on track to becoming an economic powerhouse. Given more time, it could house the single largest economy in all of Africa.

Already, Liberia's neighbours were eyeing their wealth jealously, and few if any liked the notion of a Jewish nation on their doorstep. The sooner they grew more powerful and secure, the better.

"Maybe I should start investing in these options," She sighed, "And perhaps start spending more time with Wakeyo."

And so, she invested in the National Perk: Jewish Homeland.

Ethnic Diaspora: 78% Jewish, 22% other ethnic groups.
Cultural Influences: Israeli, Ethiopian, Native African, Chinese.

With that handled, she went off to do some work.
