Code: [Select]
A visual example:
FOUNDER (1000 Juice)
- 26 Recruits (1000 Juice each)

Yowza! I can only dream of these figures at the moment.

I am running through try 5 and so far no-one important has died :)

I shall try lots of organizational structures suggested in this thread. Thanks all.

On  my system (which is XP), I change the font size of the command window that the application is running in and then save it. By changing the font size to a suitably large value, I nearly get it to run full screen (it is very much bigger at least).

Not sure if this works for Windows 7, but it is worth a try.

Hello fellow liberals,

Thanks for your answers guys, keep 'em coming :)

I tried the structure described on my second run though, as usual, the plan went astray!

For a start, everyone has a criminal record as I try an get sufficient juice to be able to recruit! Next, it was far from easy to fill specific roles in the structure - most recruits are "general purpose". Having said all that things are progressing.

I am still concerned about my leader though, who has quite a rap sheet. I guess I will just keep her out of the way most of the time by doing legal stuff.

I could do with a few more "Gangsters" for shooting up and kidnapping. That will be next I think.

Curses / LCS organizational structure
« on: December 31, 2010, 06:11:55 am »
Hello fellow liberals,

For my second run at LCS, I am trying to think ahead a little (fatal I know!).

I am thinking of an overall structure something like the following:


<LCS Leader> (Not wanted)
|
|-----------<Gang Leader> (Not wanted)
|         |
|         |-----------<Gang Sub-Leader>
|         |         |
|         |         |-------------<Gang Member>
|         |         |-------------<Gang Member>
|         |         |-------------<Gang Member>
|         |
|         |-----------<Gang Sub-Leader>
|                  |
|                  |-------------<Gang Member>
|                  |-------------<Gang Member>
|                  |-------------<Gang Member>
|
|-----------<Artiste Leader> (Not wanted)
|         |
|         |-------------<Artiste>
|         |-------------<Artiste>
|         |-------------<Artiste>
|         |-------------<Artiste>
|
|-----------<Tailors Leader> (Not wanted)
|         |
|         |-------------<Tailor>
|         |-------------<Tailor>
|
|-----------<First Aid Leader> (Not wanted)
|         |
|         |-------------<Dr>
|         |-------------<Dr>
|
|-----------<Computer Leader> (Not wanted)
         |
         |-------------<Hacker>
         |-------------<Hacker>
         |-------------<Hacker>
         

Does this make some sort of sense? What are your structures?

Any help is appreciated.

Hello fellow liberals,

Many thanks for the quick responses :)

I will try out the things you have suggested.

Unfortunately, I have to start the campaign again. The police were arresting my legal fund raisers (as they were all wanted) and so I decided to turn in my leader to clear his good name. So, I wandered down the police station and picked a few locks, broke down some doors until I got noticed. That's when my inferior command of the game interface let me down!! I accidentally shot the police officer instead of talking to him and thereby giving myself up. Needless to say I was killed (shot in the stomach I believe) and I lost contact with my LCS members.

So, onwards to try number 2.

Bye all.

Curses / An LCS newbie has some questions
« on: December 30, 2010, 11:19:01 am »
Hello fellow liberals,

I have just started playing LCS and I am very impressed!

I have got used to the interface, but I have a couple of points I would like clearing up please  :)

- Is there any way I can see how much rent I am (will be) paying?
   - related to this, can I cancel a rental agreement and take out a different one?
   
- In my team, Mr Muscle has become quite adept at killing conservatives. He has the ability to take on some followers. The only downside is that he can never get any dates (even from liberals) as he has no persuasion. What can I do to raise this?

- Another of my team has some good statistics, but security isn't one of them. I take her to one of the appartment blocks to practice on picking some locks and at the end of it, she still does not have any security skills. How do I proceed?

- I am a little vague as to which liberal activities I need to pursue to affect which public opinion. Are there any (legitimate) crib sheets to help with this?

Many thanks everyone.
