I heard your leader is less likely to die in combat than others. This is probably a big help to that then. Also with 5 other people your a lot less likely to die.

This is true. Your leader takes 1/4 of the damage that other characters take.

Fight off some police sieges. The national guard will get called in. Fight them off, and they'll start bringing in the nasty stuff. Combat engineers to remove tank traps. Tanks. Bombing runs. Snipers. The last two happen every day or two, and have the chance to knock out power and the like, or wound liberals. Snipers will often end up killing them.

Generally, once they start bringing in the big guns, you should either have lots of warm bodies around to fight off the siege, all heavily equipped, or you should find a new safehouse.

ERK. I found out something WEIRD when you use a liberal child squad...

Heat does not go up. At ALL.

Evidently, children do not generate heat?

Murder, went around to the Police Station and Courtroom and apartments and went around slaughtering people.

In my experience it takes alot of killing or a very VERY unsecretive safehouse to increase heat.

Yeah, acquiring heat is not a quick process. It only accumulates from serious crimes (murder, terrorism, prison breaks for example) and those that would otherwise be 100% safe (hacking for example). You can go around the police station and shut it down by spraying graffiti all over the walls repeatedly, wreck all the equipment in the factories and unleash every single genetic monster without gaining any heat.

Shouldn't this have racked up considerable amounts of heat?

See, I'd agree with you, except for the fact that all of the crimes Terminator Founder committed in current LCS playthrough haven't even lowered the secrecy of his Downtown Apartments, let alone raised any heat. Out of curiosity, what's your safehouse?

huh? I thought that your MLS moved out of the downtown apartments into somewhere else?

Anyhow, yeah, there must be a bug if Grimith wasn't raising the heat of the location where he was....

I didn't move out until after he died. All of that time, he stayed in the Croft Apartment complex. If the downtown apartments are THAT good at dispersing heat, then, seriously, why bother living anywhere else? Unless you somehow invoke the wrath of the government through hostage escapees. Can't exactly plant traps around your apartment.

I found that it takes several months, ever years, to gain killing heat.

I was in the homeless shelter, and it wasn't gaining any heat.

Why bother living anywhere else? er... cause you can't buy a printing press at the apartments, so no liberal guardian. boo. Also, no siege stuff.

Also, why'd you move out of the apartments? AFAIK, you still pay rent on them every month. Might as well get some mileage out of them.
