Liminalia sentences, scales, and sprees

liminalia

5c8946d 3205131 — the justice system gets a sentencing table, every stat lands on one scale, and desperate criminals strike more than once. Crimes now cost a citizen's standing in society, and the city keeps a log.

per-crime sentences

CrimeService.SentenceFor(CrimeKind) replaces the flat fine-and-jail pair. Each crime maps to its own sentence, escalating with weight: vandalism 15/12h, theft 25/24h, burglary 40/36h, arson 80/48h, murder 100/72h. The old constants (Fine, JailHours, MurderFine, MurderJailHours) are gone — Resolve reads the table, and the murder special case folded into it.

one scale to rule the stats

Affinity moved from -1..+1 to the central 0-100 scale: 50 neutral, Partner at 80+, Friend at 60+, Rival at 40 or below. The socialise gain rescaled to match — 10 points at neutral, decaying as the bond strengthens. Education points moved from 0..1500 to 0-100, a third of the scale per level, same hours per level as before.

Save format version 2. Format-1 saves remap on load: affinity v*50+50, education points /15. Old saves load clean.

reputation

Every citizen has a standing in society (0-100, 50 neutral). Getting caught and convicted costs it: petty offences -15, burglary -25, arson -40, murder -60. Honest living recovers it slowly. The police force requires a standing of 30 or more — a citizen with no reputation cannot wear the badge.

city event log

Crimes committed and resolved, deaths, births, partnerships, graduations, hires and policy changes are recorded in the city event log, a chronological ledger of the most recent 500 events, persisted with the save.

sprees

Theft, burglary and vandalism retain half their pressure after committing. A desperate burglar with opportunity still in front of them strikes again — a spree, instead of cooling to zero after one crime. (arson and murder fully — one fire, one body). 349 tests.
