Summary0029371: Warning when deterrence required is about to go above current available
DescriptionRight now, there's no warning when the deterrence-increase-over-time is about to make what you have on hand insufficient. The first warning you get if you're not actively paying attention is the planned attacks notification after the retaliation forces show up—too late to increase deterrence without a fight. It would be nice to have some indication of when this is about to happen.

Save attached where this is about to happen on the next turn.

Thanks!

* The mechanic where deterrence requirements on jobs creep up over time has been removed.
** My goal here was to provide a sense of unease for players that they could not just budget for exactly what their current needs were, and that there was some escalation... but these are very muddy motivations, it made players too nervous, and it was completely at odds with the design of the rest of the game. It needed to go. Turns, in and of themselves, are not meant to apply time pressure. Contextual events or countdowns are, and this mechanic with deterrence was not in keeping with either contextual events or countdowns.
