Curses / Re: National LCS Revisited (4.07.4 Beta Release!)
« on: November 21, 2013, 07:22:37 pm »
So it's been a couple of days playing it so far, really enjoying it.  Running into a lot of stability issues (thank Science for the everyday autosave!) but otherwise amazing.  Got to thinking, wouldn't it be great if you could find and neutralize Rats before trial?  Thought it could go something like this: if you have enough (whatever that turns out to be) Police Officers or Police Gang Units as Sleepers Uncovering Secrets, they can tell you about Safehouses used to keep Rats safe.  The next day (maybe 2?) only there is a Witness Safehouse Location available to visit.  Small Location with 1 "Rat" Encounter and loaded with Police, Agents, or Gang Units.  You can choose to Intimidate, Kidnap, or Kill the Conservative to remove witnesses from upcoming cases.  Perhaps only available if a Rat has info on a Liberal with a case pending (ie. the Liberal is already at the Courthouse awaiting trial)?  Perhaps you only get one shot per Rat.  Just a thought, not sure how easy this would be to implement.

Well I've been doing this a while, and have tried many different styles, but the last one was this:
Build a character with some security, driving, stealth, and high AGI
Day 1 - Steal a Sportscar (start with the driving training right away)
Start running through the University apartments unlocking doors, on the way out peek in the bottom floor rooms and snatch anything easy.  Do this until your Security is good enough to do it Downtown, and as your Stealth/Disguise improves you can dig deeper in each room/floor.  Continues to 200 Juice.
You should have money by now.  Set up a Business Front.  Move there.  Date randos wherever till your Seduction is 4ish.  For me my Stealth was about 5 and Security around 8.5, with some Disguise too.  You probably want around 8 Security and Stealth as high as possible.  Get a Black Robe or Suit, then in this case I dated SEALS (twice) then Agents.  In each case, kidnap them and turn them.  I sent them all to the Shelter to hang out and keep the secrecy of my Manpower high.  Your Psychology should now be pretty high.  At some times you should take a break and rob the Army Base blind for armour and assault rifles.  Keep only the founder at your front to keep heat down.  When the CCS turns up, go to the Gentleman's Club and start doing Rubes, etc. instead of Agents.  They don't have as much driving, but they're still good and you can find the clubhouse that way.  Once you have 20ish Enlightened, move them all to the Front and give them all Army Body Armor and M16s that you got from the Base.  Send a brutality squad to every place that isn't shut down, date and turn new Yokels as you shut down the CCS bases to keep finding them.  Repeat.  As you get money, upgrade your base (Printing Press, Tank Traps, Cameras, Generator, Traps).  Once you've determined that all Public Opinion is in your favor and CCS is shut down entirely, just hang out and Fight your way out of any raids until you win.  November 2015 FTW, and I spent a lot of time making my founder ridiculous before I started the murder sprees (27 Stealth, 13 Psych, 15 Persuasion, 9 Driving, 10 Security, 1000 Juice, etc.). 
Personally I wasted a bunch of time.  I got a new Sportscar every time I got an Enlightened (sell off anything you get from bad days) and assigned them all so everyone was a Driver.  I didn't attack the CCS till I had 6 guys at 1000 Juice.  I got lucky and found the Armory near the front door so my Founder had 6 Treasons.  I Released a Sweatshop Worker and had them repairing forever, also anyone who wasn't on terror missions would be on clothing repair (you get a LOT, this was my main source of income).

Just tried the 4.07.4 version, ran into an issue right away:
- Selected National option
- Answered questions as follows: E, E, B, A, E, A, E, D, A, B
- The first time I didn't enter a name to the people, the second time I did
- Both times the game crashed when I hit Enter.  Didn't get an error message, just "The program has stopped working". 
Tried again with different answers (all A), no problem.  Hope this helps
