"I'm with you, Fakhr. Let's get moving."

**Hanton rolls a 21**
"Fuck," she mutters, as she pours out half of the flask onto Boyd's pants, missing the wound completely.

"Maybe I misheard that, did he say they were drug traffickers?"

"Huh. Didn't read anything in your dossier about speaking Spanish, but yes. It appears we've fucked up."

**Jesse rolls a 33!**
Uhh...Shit, what do I do again? She wondered to herself.

"Alright, if you've got him taken care of, I'm going to go talk to our friend in the burlap sack.
Steele walks into the clearing and removes the sack from the man's head.

**Steele rolls an 86!**

"Buenos días, señor."

The man looks rather confused.

"¿Quién eres?"

Steele smiles back at him.

**Steele rolls a 52!**

"No importante, no importante. Estamos aquí para ayudar."

"Gracias, señor. Esos hombres eran narcotraficantes."

The smile fades from Steele's face. "Shit."

Fakhr and Hanton each engage a target.

**Fakhr rolls an 85!**
**Jesse rolls a 73!**

Fakhr holds down both triggers until his magazine is empty.
Jesse, meanwhile, puts a single shot into the head of the second gunman.
The clearing is now quiet, save for the groans of the man with the sack over his head.

"Shit, guys, man down!" Steele calls the others over to where Boyd is laying. "Any of you do any first aid training?"

"What is the average airspeed of an unladen swallow, Your Highness?"

Jesse dives for Boyd's rifle, fires off a wild burst with it, and moves to the left. One of the masked men is reloading his rifle.

It's big, in that most of the races are themselves a major mod.  With a few exceptions you can get started playing as you would in vanilla and begin to explore mix in new industries at your own pace.  Invaders carry steel (or mithril or metal-glass) so you want to eventually tech up past iron for sure. 

You might want to turn off diseases and secret !fun! Depending on your tolerance for random seeming deaths.  Many of the other Harder settings like farming are at least arguably better balanced than vanilla though.

Is there an ASCII version of the graphics?
