Solid answer, my LCS activities have been limited by the holiday season also.

I just have a quick suggestion. Really good recruiters should start people off with a couple juice, probably 10 max.

In a way, it is already implemented in that really good recruiters can recruit better people, and really good recruiters can recruit people who start with juice (Liberal Army Veterans are the prime example).

*In walks a giant man with a goatee.*

"Couldn't agree more, what you need is a dictatorship!"

*He proceeds to throw out all materials from all desks.*

"Sell all pistols!  Buy regular grenades!  Research Medkits!  Name your last recruits after the next two posters!  As soon as you capture alien tech, transfer 90% research to alien alloys, then armor!"

*He then goes over to a blackboard in the ready room to discuss tactics.*

Attack with a leap frog battleplan.  The first two recruits throw smokes near the Skyranger's exit.  They proceed, backed up by four other soldiers.  Every turn, two more recruits exit the skyranger.  Position your heavy weapons in the middle of the line up, with those recruits with 30+ strength.  Whenever someone kills an alien, they hold position and let fresh recruits get kills.

And buy a second storage facility and one alien containment unit.  Always keep one alien corpse, sell all others.  When alien guns outnumber ammo, sell guns till equal.

Good luck!

How did those runthroughs end for you?

And yeah, intellegence is the only stat the founder can increase (unless the bug where liberals can use first aid to heal permanent injuries is still present, but I think that got edited out in the recent batch of upgrades).

Sounds good to me.

So the key to destroying the presidential line is an orgy. 

With those not available for participation in the orgy getting seduced beforehand.

Just further proves that the prostitutes are the ultimate weapon in the LCS armory.

That's a pretty good point, but the map you suggested only has 7 starting locations, thus we all know exactly where to attack on turn one for victory.  Seems a little too blunt strategically to me.

You'll be forcing me to play Himmon or something, as opposed to sneaky Man or Pangea, for example.

Also consider this: If all I need to do is capture 4 capitals for 3 turns, land civilizations never need to enter the water!  Why bother with that when you can capture the capitals of your land neigbors, leaving the toughest alone!

Have fun E. Albright!

Before I continue, I'd really like to hear from the other players.  If everyone else is in love with Bering and 4 capital 3 turns, I'll shut up and adapt.
