Bay 12 Games Forum

I hope I'm not missing the obvious; I have the source code, and I'm pouring over it on that SVN cilent, and looking at all the files downloaded, and I'm not seeing a newgame.cpp
I see a newgame.diff, which by my eyes just seems to be a changelog for the actual newgame file

Referring to the beginning of the game, I want to tweak the values of  the questions that basically sets me up with an uber-powered leader to test things. How do I edit the attribute points the questions give?

Is there any way to raise the law skill besides University and when defending yourself?

Hello!

1): Useful while tending to hostages. The bondage gear is the second best outfit, and is the best if you intend on drugging the captive. If you don't drug, the best is the Death Squad Uniform.
2): Cosmetic difference, identical stats.

Was that useful?

Yes, thank you very much.

Having tested the Flamethrower on the tank, I can confidently say that fire damage does not affect it any different than any other kind of damage.

It should do more damage, in theory. Does it say no damage is inflicted, or is it just that the tank is still alive and well afterward, and still mowing down your guys?

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to send the tank's armor to 0 for fire damage. Then again, maybe such extreme measures should be reserved for some kind of anti-tank gun or rocket launcher that isn't in the game yet.

It gives the same message as any other ranged weapon, and is still alive afterwards.

Hm, that would be unbalanced given the current usage of tanks. The two places tanks show up are 1. During assaults, where they park at the front of your base without an escort, and 2. During escapes, when they're almost always the last unit following if you run, since they don't have to make stat-based running checks to see if they keep up with you.

They appear in the Military base as reinforcements as well.

Eh, been having trouble getting alone with a tank and my flamethrowers...

Officers should have a few points in every combat skill, but I can't think of a reason they would have points in every skill, such as Art. They would likely have decent Psychology skill, having to keep men's morale up and such, which would also have the added benefit of making them appropriately hard to Enlighten. In terms of skills, they should have one or two points in every combat skills, but more in pistols, swords, and dodging. Also, possibly add team Medics to the Army base with a great starting First Aid?

EDIT: For the SEALs, they would also need to have high Psychology, since they are specifically water boarded during their training to build up resistance to torture.
