Agents are only scary if you let them fire at you.  Their lack of armor just makes them a slight nuisance.  I use agent sieges to train my new combat teams.

I use agents to train my liberal troopers. Not their sieges.

Same here. 1000 juice and capped at 12 recruits.

How about making it part of the street survival skillset?

Oh, that reminds me. What's the purpose of the Street Sense skill nowadays?

I think I've found a bug. Agent raids keep cutting the lights and cameras even if I have a generator running in the building.

This is a feature. It should specifically say "Through some form of high technology..." when telling you that they cut lights and cameras.

Yes, it said something like that. But feature? I've been raided by agents several times, and they've pulled this high-tech voodoo every single time, without fail.

So then what's the point in having a generator at all if it persistently fails to fulfill its one and only purpose?

It's Jonathan, people.

If you can break them during interrogation, agents make amazing liberal troopers. Problem is any high-wisdom conservative is going to end up with pretty low base health.

The fact all the laws are Arch-Conservative does make the game harder as opposed to just longer. Such state of legislation allows for things like better armed and more brutal police, flamethrower-toting firemen raids on your printing presses, commonly seen heavily armed death squads, and arming a good portion of the civilian populace. Also, most people are conservative, so it becomes quite harder to get suitable recruits.

There's a handful of upsides, though. Lax gun control laws means assault weapons are readily available, for instance. And given the new mechanic that guides the strengthening of the CCS, I'm guessing they will be too busy livin' it up in their utopia, meaning they won't assemble and try to ruin your plans for a good while.
