Wife Strife & Bounties

The bounties have been tinkered with a lot. But am I right in thinking that the wife only get's the bounties of whom she shoots.

I've been designing my house thinking well if someone reached the vault, at least the wife is there holding 50% of the cash so I can get back in the game. That is what the wife is for, a second chance in a game that has none, making her worthwhile to protect. However she not really worth it again is she? I feel she was at some point in the development even though some top houses would sacrifice them but not recently. However it's always nice to see a top house that did not (ukuko's house in the contest for example).

I think she needs to hold more money from some of the house bounties other than her own killing sprees. I think hew lawyers would agree she is entitled to her 50%.

Houses go through a boom overnight, someone dies with a bounty, others come in for it, now your house is a huge target. And when someone finally steals from you if the wife is alive she's usually not holding much.

Re: Wife Strife & Bounties

the problem is that most accumulated value is in the form of tools, which you have to actively log-in to sell to split the cash 50/50 again.

maybe a 'tool-box' purchasable tile (perhaps working the same way as the shotgun, partner picking it up if they move over it) that can be used to hold half of all the tools dropped in your house while you are away?

at least then you could choose. i know i don't always want my partner to have half my value. sometimes it is funny to see someone come in with twenty guns to steal their $20.

I don't think she needs any of the tool money, that's probably going too far. Accounting for tools and their value the vault would still be the #1 priority. Just some from the money from the other bounties.

If someone comes into your house with $2000 worth of tools and dies, that is a potential $2000 tool value and at present a $100 bounty for the vault. Why not give the vault the $2000 and $50, and $50 for the wife. 50-50 the bounty.

$2000 worth of tools adds $1000 value to the house.

bounties splitting with wife would give you some spare change, i suppose.

but i have robbed a LOT of houses lately that had a good $60,000 in tools and $10,000 in cash.

i guess $5,000 might be okay to patch up a bit. hmm
