OK, so far I have found but one...

After pick-up'ing the Socialite in juice caffe and choosing the option to try  not to spend a single penny I had "Is quite taken with unique phylosophy" and the game crashed (performed illegal operation)... Reproduced later with a teenager. When I had this option with hippie, "things didn't quite work out", and no crash  .

I don't know how much of a but it is, but that's what happened:

In my first games I tried convincing some guys to join my cause, and was puzzled, what does the "How disturbing! How can I help" messages mean, as they add no new members. After leaving site and waiting few days I usually got the "... escaped!" like I had a prisoner... And when I recruited 2 guys on a one mission, I had one of them join my squad immediately after leaving the site, and the second one... Right, was treated like a prisoner. Is that how things have to work?

[Elven_ranger]

There really seems to be something weird... After I have kidnapped the initially red teenager, he immediately joined my squad withou indoctrination or something...

By the way, why not make indoctrination process more interesting? Like... You know  . How'd YOU make Conservative scum become enlightened?

*Tip - good chance to fix the omissions you mention in discaimer  *

I'm at work now, but I'll try to fix those things tonight.

NOTE:  You do have all kinds of indoctrination options.  When you kidnap somebody, you use 'A'ctivate to tend the hostage.  If you don't watch over them they'll run away.  But you also do indoctrination that way.  You can use 'R' to see your hostages.  If they are under the hostage heading (press '2' or whatever), then you need to 'A'ctivate a liberal and tend to them.  I think I mentioned this in the new manual, but maybe not.

Please keep the bugs coming.  The first release is always bad, but hopefully the game can be made virtually bug free in time.

I can't open doors to get into buildings, and it won't let me use any of the seige options during the seige.

You move into doors to open them (missing from the manual, sorry).  What do you mean by siege options?  The investments in your warehouses will be used if you try to escape.  Investing in a compound allows you to make sieges last longer, if you have food.

Opps, I was pressing the wrong key, that explanes why the door wouln't open. Ok, was wrong about the seige too. It turned out that when you press the next location option until you get back to the location that was under seige you can't do anything about the seige because you haven't selected your squad, or something like that.

I found a real bug this time, it random crashs at the end of my turn and when I press a button to get out of the newspaper clipings.

Which version are you using?  If you are using 3.01, it would be great if you could get a save game that happens before this problem, although it might be difficult.  If you are using 3.00, it might be fixed in the new version.  If you do have a save.dat file, send it to my math address at tarn (at) math.stanford.edu.

If you don't have a save, I can putz around and try to find the problem...

Oh, and this goes for anybody using 3.01.  If you have a save.dat that exhibits strange behavior of any kind after you load it, go ahead and send it over to the math address.

Other bugs?

[Toady One]

I've fixed these new ones (will post in a few days after I collect more reports):

Dating occurred while in the hospital

Taking off bloody/damaged armor led to  having bloody/damaged naked "armor"

Soliciting donations didn't work right (it was harder to solicit when more popular)

If there is a high profile person, it didn't let you choose who you want to kidnap

It didn't let you equip at a site that has been attacked before, even if it were now safe

Prison time remaining is now displayed in the justice system list

Disguises only worked in the restricted portion of the news station/radio station

If you had sleepers it didn't advance time when everybody was in prison

Squad equipment was not confiscated by the police

I think the crashing problem has been fixed with the version 3.01.

When you fence loot, it only takes away 1 of the items.  I had a heap of TV's that I sold abuot 10 times, for a total of $20300 instead of the $1400 they were worth.
