Anyone ever thought if anyone would try to make a game with similar mechanics and goals of LCS? And not even necessarily based around liberal group, maybe any sort of "crime squad"? I did, and conveniently enough I am a game developer... anyways, I really loved LCS when I played it years ago after discovering it from playing Dwarf Fortress, and few days ago an idea struck me, wouldn't it be cool if there would be another game like LCS? Maybe less of a roguelike and more of a modern type of a visual game? sort of.

Now I'd like to say I have pretty busy stage in my life, and I don't have tons of time to work on this, just saying to not build any potential "hype" or anything, because my version of this is not very likely to happen even though I'll attempt.

So my idea was, maybe develop something like LCS, but in modern engine (woo, fullscreen) and whenever you'd travel/visit areas in game (police station, etc etc) it will be actually more visual and from my plan, not turn based, but more like in artstyle of streets of rogue. (very interesting and beautiful roguelike that was made available on steam lately)

But yeah at least from what I got so far the main screen will stay the same, where days and daily actions will be turn based, only major difference will be the locations visiting.

Just a thought, would something like this be interesting? Or it won't make much difference since the game that has been out and been developed on existed for many years now and is fully playable and enjoyable anyway?

Any further ideas are fully welcome, what would be cool feature for a "remake" like this? What can/should be changed from original LCS? etc.

I had very, very strong squads, they were destroying everything and nothing could stop them, but most constitution was Arch conservative... I was raiding CCS, I was raiding whole downtown, doing everything, raiding army bases, robbing banks like every day, etc. But I could not change constitution...

This question may seem little stupid but what to do? I have really strong squads but they almost can't change laws...

Okay I haven't played for a while, how do I steal a car? I can't find it anywhere... :X

So... I had a fortress, It was going well, but after goblin siege everything messed up everyone got miserable, started rioting, etc. And then king came out of nowhere (I didnt even had baron or any migrant noble) But I had to disband fortress, so I disbanded it. My question is, What would happen to king? He will stay there untill he finds new fortress to move in? or he will return to old mountainhome?

Oh, nevermind. i found it.

I have very heavily armed squad and i kill everyone who gets in my way, and i want to take down CCS and i dont have any information at all about them, i tried looking for yokel or something in gentleman club, but i could not find it, how to find CCS safehouse?

Ok... i used this ace lawyer 3 times, and all the times i wasted money and made things worse, i mean what the hell? once i tested and when i hired ace, i got 44 years in prison, but when i closed game and opened it (so save game would be before i got to court) defended myself with 1-2 law skill i got like 20 years, whats wrong with this lawyer?! you guys get same results?

You cant steal cars??
