Business Side Guide
Optimizing Board Members
Money Maker: Either your first or second executive (game will offer many districts to conquer in this industry, so making money will become more and more efficient).
Executive preferences
- Samuel Finch (moxie bonus for one week after travel).
- Penny Farthing (moxie bonus while at the bank).
Ruffians: Between 3 to 5 executives (depending on how many board chairs you have).
Executive preferences
- Max Gentlemen (moxie bonus while at the boxing gym).
- Pip Whipple (moxie bonus while fighting rivals).
- Samuel Finch (moxie bonus for one week after travel, if not employed as Money Maker).
- Fanny Shufflebottom (slight moxie bonus in the daytime: 6 AM to 6 PM).
- Vlad Nibblesome (slight moxie bonus when the sun is down: 6 PM to 6 AM).
Recruiter: Starting with the second playthrough, you will eventually get the bottled synergy asset after finishing the fourth district (halfway through a playthrough) which creates a shared pool of employees.
Executive preference
Bonbon von Valentine (moxie bonus while at the slums).
Therefore, the executive board could consist of:
- One Money Maker.
- 3-6 Ruffians.
- Samuel Finch and another traveler.
- 1-4 goldsmiths (as needed).
- 0-4 executives in the office desk jobs.
Micro-Managing
Boss Battles
To overwhelmingly control a district.
- Before facing a district boss, consider professional development of fisticuffs.
- Aim for 10x(boss' offense power) employees per Ruffian.
- Permit all Ruffians to fully rest before declaring war.
- Send as many Ruffians as you can to the town square at the very start of the boss battle.
Diversions
- Unless you want relationships with the executives, you should only complete "events" until you have over 50% morale and over 50% reputation. Positive benefits will result with over 50% approval.
- Unless you want relationships with the executives, you do not have to have lunches with them.
Travelers
"The Samuel Finch Traveling Protocol"
- Every Monday morning, send Samuel Finch up to Edinburgh for a one-day trip. He is so energized by the trip that he brings bonus moxie for the rest of the week.
- Send another executive (who is not a Money Maker, Ruffian, or Recruiter; and thus not upgraded) down to Casablanca for 5-day trip to obtain a tonic.
Tonics
- Give every fisticuffs tonic to your primary ruffian (either Max Gentlemen or Pip Whipple).
- Give every mustache tonic to the primary Recruiter: Bonbon von Valentine.
Queuing
To minimize mental cognition load.
- Let executives fully rest in the rec room. Executives need only up to 6 hours to rest (compared to about 10 hours for business activity).
- Executives returning to the rec room will automatically be placed on the right side of the queue.
- Assign the executive on the left side of the queue to their optimal task (usually: fighting rivals in the town square) when they are fully rested.
- Exception: "The Samuel Finch Traveling Protocol".
- Exception: if there is a cheering crowd [of green people] around the boxing gym, barber shop, or slums; then send as many executives to the cheering crowd as you can.
- Exeception: If a loan payment of gold is due in 7 days or fewer, send as many executives as you can to the factory.
Fiscal Benchmarks
Merchant stipend
- Be ready to have about 40 gold available for when the merchant arrives biweekly. The available assets are almost always beneficial.
Currency
Suggested accounting practices include.
- There is no predictable reason to have over 2 million pounds in currency (even as an emergency fund). That is, there may be a need to acquire 400 gold bars.
- Upon reading one million pounds, consider professional development of fisticuffs.
- Before facing a district boss, consider professional development of fisticuffs.
Fisticuffs
- Having 3200 fisticuffs (including bonuses from canes and Kingsmen) across all Ruffians is sufficient for the rest of the playthrough.
- Thus, training 5-7 Kingsmen is sufficient.
- Having a Ruffian with 1000+ fisticuffs is quite amazing (as the achievement implies).
Mustache
- Having a Recruiter with 1000+ mustache is quite amazing (as the achievement implies).
- There is no need to develop any other executive to over 50 mustache.
