And do you intend to create separate laws and locations for?

(Aside note, wouldn't the modfile be lighter if you only included the files you modificated?)

First question: right now, the Vegan Coop and the Juice Bar both affect view Food (originally, I added view Food in order to make those sites have a purpose apart from recruiting members). However, I may add an agrobusiness site for future versions, as it's extremely appropriate for the theme of the mod and may affect biodiversity as well in various ways.


Second question: I've modified at least half of the files in the game at this point, so I'm afraid that at this stage it is simpler just to redistribute the whole package.

Yes, absolutely - I am working on a mod right now! You need to be able to edit the code, of course (as is the case with any of the others, incidentally).

The Terra Vitae mod actually uses this (VIEW_FOOD). Right now it's lumped in with VIEW_ANIMALRESEARCH and affects LAW_ANIMALRESEARCH.

Is it possible to reach Jonathan? We kinda need him.

On that note, I did have ideas for a a civil war mode in LCS where your actions would instigate a violent revolution. It would still be influencing public opinion, though, because that would be the source of strength for the rebels. You could, however, save the country even after the Arch-Conservative amendment is passed if there is already military opposition to the state.

Uh-oh - I just tried that, and it worked fine. I am wondering if you didn't install it correctly and/or your computer isn't set up for it.

Try typing "make" in the src folder instead of crimesquad. That should recompile the program. If it doesn't work, then it means that you need to reconfigure it.

Yeah I'm working on version 0.6 (or maybe 1.0). I fixed (or believe that I fixed) the aforementioned bug wipeout found, but wipeout hasn't confirmed it. I need help from somebody who understands Visual Studio 2015 to compile LCS for Windows.

Well, the reality is that nobody likes it when people express ideologies other than their own, liberal or conservative. The reason why freedom of speech is in the Constitution in the first place is to prevent any side from gaining too much power.

IsaacG has it basically right: in LCS, the liberals are the heroes and the conservatives are the villains. We discussed what a game in which the player is the CCS instead of the LCS would look like, and agreed that many of the political issues would have to be realigned. A heroic CCS would support freedom of speech just as the heroic LCS does, and a villainous LCS would oppose it (although for somewhat different reasons).

Yes, the LCS is completely uniform in its ideology, as evinced by the fact that any liberal will have the same effect on public opinion with a given activity, even in situations where personal beliefs might matter, e.g. a sculptor making liberal art and a corporate manager making art will still have the exact same effects. This stands out in particular because, in a real LCS-like organization (note that making and selling political art in the U.S. is not criminal), there might be ideological differences. The sculptor might well be a Marxist, while the corporate manager is more likely a Smithian capitalist (i.e. favors small businesses where the employers and employees are friends and value each-other's opinions).
