It's an high tech car alarm and security system. I don't know the details, but I think it's just automatic alarm and harder to bypass.

Hello!

There is a little oddity with brainwashed enlightened conservatives.

If they are rehabilitated, they do not rat out their captor. I don't think that was intended, since if they are enlightened before their disappearence is noticed, they can rat you out, but the code doesn't mention anything about that.

Is that normal?

Sorry. I mixed up the letters. Well, at least I still managed to get my point accross.

PS: Now it's confirmed by a downloadable save (just check my sleeper list, there are three CEO (I got it right this time)). So it should no longer say in the Open BUMS that it needs to be checked.

The corporate COE, the EVIL INCARNATE ARCH CONSERVATIVE! That guy at the COE house/castle that has huge business skill, huge wisdom, is proficient with the Desert Eagle we wields, who warns you against corporate raids if you brainwash enlighten him as a sleeper! Who is only supposed to respawn if killed! (Before the last version, he would never respawn.)

Yep, somehow, I got three like him as sleepers. Pretty much game breaking, since they start at near 100% efficiency. They embezzel 15k a month all by themselves.

Hello!

I was wondering... Could you please put the new version (Even if it includes only bug fixes, please) for us to download? I would love to play LCS without the few bugs that are "resolved in trunk". Thanks.

Edit: I have a save with 3 COE sleepers. I used an old save to make the experiment. I thought I would ram the point home by getting 10 COEs, but 3 is enough to show the bug. Since the bug needed to be confirmed, there it is.

« on: July 24, 2011, 01:42:29 am »
There is also a slow but almost risk free effective way of gaining juice (I don't know the cap on this though) involving the M249, one liberal with driving skill, army (or SWAT) body armor, one liberal with first aid.

Give the M249 from the army base armory to your new recruit, stay at the entrance, alarm the conservatives at a site (getting naked and putting clothes back works well for that), and make him intimidate everyone. When he starts to get too wounded, or the massive conservative response shows up, run to your sport car, and hit the gas.

Sometimes bleeping curses is funnier. Just check Meet the Demoman to have an idea.

You can learn dodge by dodging punches up to a certain point, up until the point where you need to dodge weapons. I recommand going to the crack house at that since gang members have low weapon skills and agility (negative juice), unlike say, police. Given that dodge has no drawbacks (it may not work often against trained users, but it still doesn't gives you any penalties), it may be worth it in order to evade the random conservative who just spot you trying to rob the appartments with a ninja costume.

That explain why I keep getting hit by Police and CCS members despite a 16 AG and Dodge.

Sorry if this might seem stupid, but I'm not really good with coding:

I checked the combat files, and I wondered about the dodge roll:

Is the dice pool divided by 2, or is the end roll divided by 2?

Gang members at the crack house are ALWAYS conservatives. Probably to make sneaking and disguise training and taking over easier during moderate/liberal times. In other places (like industrial disctrict housing projects), you will find moderates or even Liberals gang members.

One thing please! Sorry if it might seem stupid, but I would like to get some infos about skills rolls and difficulties.

So after a source dive (thanks to comments), I learned that:

Skills are rolled against a difficulty (or another roll).
The score used for rolls is (attribute/2 + skill), or, in case of security, Security*2, or just attribute in case of attributes I guess.
That score is divided by 3. Then it's rounded down. Let's call the final value X.
XD6 are rolled. If there is one extra point beyond what is needed to get a round number, roll 1D3. If there are 2 extra points, roll 1D5.
Keep the 3 best rolls.
Compare to the difficulty.

What I'd like to know are the difficulties (heroïc =? Average =?).

Thank you in advance.

I wonder why all the fuss about Madagascar... I mean, Madagascar was infected in ALL my Pandemic 2 games... New Zealand was a bitch though.

Kay12 cannot possibly mean the fact that there are several James Bond in the world, and that it's probably the same with other names, can he?
