Question and suggestion about torches
« on: October 07, 2008, 07:14:35 am »
First off, I love fire.  Just thought it'd be a good idea to get that out into the open.  Secondly, where do I find torches?  Do angry mobs chase you with them, can you buy them?  Third and finally, can you burn stuff down with torches?  Or, maybe, if you devastate say 1/3 of a site with fire from Molotov cocktails, you could turn it into a derelict building that would have to be closed down for years on end to refurbish it?  Firebomb the police station to stop all those pesky sieges  ;D

Any southern conservative type will carry them. The easiest way to get them and pitchforks is to attack a studio. The Retaliation used to involve massive waves of rednecks who formed an angry farm mob in the middle of the city to attack the station.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Buildings get refurbished really quickly -- just a month to overhaul and completely change the layout. But if you burn down 2/3 of the police station, you will certainly get that month reprieve -- so you can firebomb the police to stop sieges, you just can't do it once and then relax for a year. If the target you burned was a private business (factories, vegan co-op), it will change management/name during this time too.

Torches currently cannot be used for arson. Along with pitchforks, they are still unique to the angry mobs that come after you when you mess with their ability to get their AM Radio and Cable News fix.
