🏦 A Message from the Governors

"With 'Monetary Resonance', we're harmonizing gameplay feedback into tangible improvements. Your reports directly shaped the VFX priorities and menu redesign. The Special Actions system is our newest mechanic yet - help us refine it through the experimental phase!

As we approach 1.0, expect deeper economic simulation layers and more dramatic policy consequences. The next update will reveal our narrative director's surprise passion project..." - The Central Bank Dev Team
