[Street Whore]
Since you can make girl work on streets, you dont need customers, advertising and even BROTHEL building at all! And they still serve their 2-4-8 per shift.
Dies fast, always beaten, infected and addicted... But who cares?
Anyway, its just stupid to make them work on streets, when they have room in brothel...
Suggestion:
Don't kill Work on Street option. It is very funny.
Just add one button on game interface like Streets (next to Visit Town) and add girl job [Street Pimp]. Analog to [Matron] in brothel.


[Advertising] as a girl job DO NOTHING. [Advertising] as a brothel parameter DO NOTHING.
If I have 60 girls in brothel, and EVERYONE of them got 8 customers per shift.
Its just 480 customers per day and 480 per night. The customers quantity even without advert is always more than girls can serve.
So you don't need more than 960 customers ))
Suggestion:
Kill girl job advertising. They have sex job to do. For brothel advert make [levels]
Level 1 - no advert
Level 2 - good advert, some customers pay more
Level 3 - noble adverts, some customers pays a lot and make gifts for girls
Level 4 - celebration event. Once in 2 month, brotel can double all the customers quantity. It better make as additional button with timer - 1 time in 8 weeks.


[Cleaning]. Just STUPID.
You have whore whith 15+ sex servise parameters, and you should MAKE her doing cleaning?
Even scouts can do it by turn in shift rotation. At least you can hire stuff only for cleaning. But do not force professi[ANALS] make some stupid job like cleaning... -_-
Suggestion:
Burn it. With fire. Game will loose NOTHING without it and [Filthiness] parameters.


[Bar Stuff (20/week), Casino Stuff (50/week)]
Are you serious? Even flowers cost more in the shop. LOL.
Suggestion:
Kill girl jobs [Barmaid, Waitress, Singer] and [Customer Service, Game Diler, Entertainer] accordingly. They still whores, and should do only what they trained to do.
HIGHLY increase stuff payments for Bar and Casino. Like Bar (1000/week), Casino (2000/week) Casino Selebration Event could be 1 per 4 weeks.
All customers in Bar or Casino should give BIGGER tips for whores (than 20 by default), and this tips should depend from advert level (like double payment for girl, only in casino and only during Selebration Event).


[Catacombs]
One lonely fighter girl Exploring Catacombs without sword and armor, could be more effective than 15 (!) gang mens with 4 level of weapon? Is it joke?
And this figher girl could even catch other fighter girls and demons! Alone! OMG.
In this case, 15 gang mans should bring 15-30 beasts and 15 monster girls from every catacomb exploring -_-
Suggestion:
Merge Explore Catacombs and Beast Capturer jobs in Adventurer job. This girl will capture beasts (60% chance), and monster-girls (10% chance).
If girl has both Fighter and Magic skills more than 80, trait Dangerous - she got 25% chance to capture other girl.


[Items]
Damn it! I can get like 10+ girls per week, EACH week. And I only has 1 health potion, or 1 perfume or 1 type of dress in da shop?
Or even more rare things like Domination Scrolls or Brainwashing Oils, no more than 10 during whole game? -_-
Is it item game? I see the name as Whore Master, not Item Collector. Why does all items more rare and more expensive than girls? Why I should spend more times to micro-control of hundreeds items, insted of operation with girls?
Some items are more expensive than to buy 10 rooms for 10000 gold and put there 10 kidnapped girls, for 30/per client price each.
When you have 200+ girls and only 20 items for them, than you should treat some girls as special. Lover at least. But you don't need to treat 5-10-20 girls with specials,  cuz you have 200+ girls! Endless circle...
Suggestion:
Quantity of items should be more than girls. Triple times at least...
Drugs and Aphrodisiacs should be ten times more available.


[Items Filter]
Join [Small Weapon and Large Weapon in one Weapon]. Better use Letters before name of Items, for auto-sorting. Like L for all large weapon, S for all small weapon.
L-Ornate Gladius
L-Long Sword
S-Dagger
S-Riding Crop
M-Magic Wands
Join [Rings and Necklaces in one Jewelry]
can still use item type Letter before names: R for Rings and N for Necklaces
Split Consumables on
Meds - there will be drugs themselves and all Cures from Addiction or deseases or body deffects like scars. All health, healing, anti-tiredness will be here. All body mods, lolification, anti aging and so one.
and Consumables itself - all other, parfumes, oils, scrolls, gifts...

I tend to agree. It's not an option I use. And yeah, we probably need to look at it carefully.

[Advertising] as a girl job DO NOTHING. [Advertising] as a brothel parameter DO NOTHING.
If I have 60 girls in brothel, and EVERYONE of them got 8 customers per shift.
Its just 480 customers per day and 480 per night. The customers quantity even without advert is always more than girls can serve.
So you don't need more than 960 customers ))

Customers are too easy to get at the moment. I'm working on throttling the supply back at the moment. When I'm done, advertising may be more relevant :)

Bear with it for the time being. It's hopefully going to work with the buildig management options coming up.

  [Bar Stuff (20/week), Casino Stuff (50/week)]
Are you serious? Even flowers cost more in the shop. LOL.
   
Hmmm... the BETA tag isn't just in the title bar because Google made it cool, you know. This is a game under development, and there's a lot of balancing work still to be done.

In particular, we could do with a decent economic model and a set of guidelines so that different coders and modders can all work from the same base values. It's a problem.

      Suggestion:
Kill girl jobs [Barmaid, Waitress, Singer] and [Customer Service, Game Diler, Entertainer] accordingly. They still whores, and should do only what they trained to do.
HIGHLY increase stuff payments for Bar and Casino. Like Bar (1000/week), Casino (2000/week)
       
A lot of people are keen to have legitimate (non-whoring) jobs for thier girls. What can I say? The game attracts a wide range of players, and it's easy to assume sometimes that everyone else plays it the same way you do.

I'll grant that the bar and casino are a bit cosmetic at the moment. I hope to change that.

[Catacombs]
One lonely fighter girl Exploring Catacombs without sword and armor, could be more effective than 15 (!) gang mens with 4 level of weapon? Is it joke?

I lie awake at night chortling. Sending girls down to get tentacle raped explore the mysteries of the catacombs is a new feature and the catacombs in general needs rebalancing.

And this figher girl could even catch other fighter girls and demons! Alone! OMG.
In this case, 15 gang mans should bring 15-30 beasts and 15 monster girls from every catacomb exploring -_-
 
I don't necessarily ave a problem with this considering that a lot of these girls are warriors and superheroes and the like. The odds on success are fairly low as well. Still, I'll grant we could probably make them less effective. It's too easy to fill up with monster girls by sticking a half dozen girls on catacomb duties

  Suggestion:
Merge Explore Catacombs and Beast Capturer jobs in Adventurer job. This girl will capture beasts (60% chance), and monster-girls (10% chance).
If girl has both Fighter and Magic skills more than 80, trait Dangerous - she got 25% chance to capture other girl.

That seems reasonable to me.

[Items]

Or even more rare things like Domination Scrolls or Brainwashing Oils, no more than 10 during whole game? -_-
     
Yeah, item supply is in need of some attention and on my current todo list. I agree about healing and cure potions, not so much about mind control items - they make it a bit too easy to subdue a girl if they're too common.

      L-Ornate Gladius
L-Long Sword
S-Dagger
S-Riding Crop
M-Magic Wands

That's efficient, but I'm not sure it's entirely user-friendly, and it sort of snaps you out of the game world and makes you think about the game mechanics. I'll be interested to see what others think about it.

Anyway - more good ideas there  - thanks again for your input.

I'm one of those people if the only job the girls can do is whore then we just have a better SimBrothel and that would suck.  I'm in full support of having way more non-whoring jobs but thats just my 2 cents on that.

Do long and short weapons even have different stats? What's so substantial about knowing the length of the weapon? If it has something to do with gameplay I can see the need for some sort of icon or marker to convey that, otherwise I don't see why merging them together would be a bad thing. (All weapons under weapons.)
We could probably use shields though... off-hand equipment and such. Maybe whips or traps to increase the effectiveness of beast capturing?

I believe short weapons don't get auto-unequipped the way large ones do. So if a girl strips for sex, she won't have her two handed battleaxe to hand if the client gets rough, but she might still have a shiv under the pillow...

Apart from that, nothing that I know of.

Some girls have "natural weapons" they could fall back on. KosMos for example can turn an arm into a plasma canon. (Can also destroy a solar systems worth of Ghostly Demon Beast Things with her tit cannons. But that might be a bit unbalancing.) More practical though would be girls that know martial arts and or non human girls with things like Claws or teeth. I'm not actually saying this for any particular reason. I just wanted to say the words Tit Cannon in a sentence and you gave me the opportunity to do just that doc. (thank you  ;DThough natural defensibility of certain girls might be something to put in the pipes for the future.

edit: Lol disregard that. I sometimes speak without thinking. Some traits already do just that don't they?

I support non-whoring activities, it adds 'taste' to the game. Yes, even cleaning -buy a cheap slave, dress her BSDM and torture her till 'masochist' trait (+con bonus) pops up, then got her to clean the brothel's filth dressed in leather... That should give a +PCHate bonus.


P.D. Damm it. I wanted to say Tit Cannon too, but you got it first!

I think that natural armrament has to be considered to be included in the girl's combat and/or magic rating. So Kos Mos' built in accoutrements would already be accounted for.

Notice the clever way I maintained a dignified pose by carefully avoiding the use the term "tit cannon" ... bugger
