Heat is now kept per district. A quarter of each job's heat follows you round the city; the rest stays where you did the job, so moving on cools things down, but only so far. Lay low anywhere (twice as fast) or at your own lodging (four times as fast). A beat-cop bribe now clears the district you're in, with one daily limit for the whole city. The heat gauge shows every district, and in the Graphical view the city map and the top bar on the street show your heat.

New paintings for three districts: Chinatown glows with a ring of lanterns around the pavilion, Capitol Hill gets brighter police lamps and call boxes, and the Ironworks now shows sawtooth sheds, a gantry crane, two forge fires and a picket line at the union hall. The newsstand's classifieds board now stands out from the racks, and it catches the lamplight at night.

Gold laurels

Founding Families: players who kept coming back during the beta can now be named Founders of Vesper City. Staff check the list by hand. Each Founder gets the gold laurel by their name, the Founder badge and title on their profile and the Founder portrait. Cosmetic only, never for sale.

Gang wars play by one rulebook: the weekly limit counts every war a gang declares, at home or across the city, and Vesper City has a new safeguard ready in case strong gangs start picking on much weaker ones.

The note under Found a gang no longer promises that local gangs can never be attacked from outside their district: it now says how gang wars really work in Vesper City.
