How're you going to recruit all those wheelchair guys... or failing that, how to consistently wheelchair all your members?
If you're going that route, why not go for the liberal stump squad? NOFACE (which means they're BLIND since they have no eyes), both arms and legs missing, broken spine (not that it matters anymore), NOTONGUE (yet they can still speak!)...
I want a liberal canine squad, but by the time Animal Rights go L+, the game is already over...

Recruit normals and send them into combat until you get wheelchair people. Escape, Repeat. When you have enough wheelchair guys, dismiss their non-disabled friends. The Founder's role would have to be limited.

Is there a way to edit the game to have wheelchair people recruited?
Will you be able to recruit people with shit wrong with them from hospitals in a later release?
Like:

 Amputee Paralyzed Doctor

Or:
Noface Nurse No Tongue Broken Spine

That's what I mean by "consistently wheelchair" your members.
How do you plan on achieving it? By sending them into combat repeatedly and hoping for the best/worst?

Getting wheelchaired is pretty rare... in all the games I've played, it's only happened like once or twice.

Far more likely, using combat to achieve this aim, you would end up with the LCS... the Liberal Corpse Squad.

Plus it's hard to escape with no legs... you'd more likely have to surrender and be arrested to survive.

But LCS intelligence is not the same as IQ... I think that in LCS, it's a flat distribution instead of the bell shaped curve?

Regardless, my own intelligence stat, I'm unsure whether to put it as 10 or 20... I have no juice, on one hand. OTOH, my IQ is in the top 2% (mensa member)...

Just wanted to drop in to clarify on this older subject. LCS has an odd curve due to the selection mechanism, and it requires combinatorics to calculate the probabilities. 10 in any stat represents about the most capable ~5% percent of the population, while 1 represents the least capable 15.4% of the population. Anything higher than 10 isn't possible without juice, mutant status, or other modifiers like age.

To keep yourself especially honest, cap your total stats at 40, cap individual stats at 10, and distribute as you see fit. Then, after applying the cap, if you're a teenager, give yourself additional penalties of -1 to intelligence and wisdom, -3 to charisma, but add +1 to heart. If you're over 35, lower your heart by -1, and give yourself +1 to intelligence and wisdom. These modifiers can take you over 10, but your stats will never drop below 1.

Edit: If you didn't cap your stats at 10, 20 would represent the top 0.2%.

Squad members who get wheelchaired can be carried out, if I am not mistaken. Battling lone conservatives probably would produce better odds of squad/gimp survival.

It isn't possible with the current source code, but you can get the next best thing: when compiling the source, you can uncomment the following #define lines in includes.h to get their effects.

Code: [Select]

// Make the founder blind
//#define BLIND

// Make the founder unable to walk
//#define NOWALK

// Make the founder have no face
//#define NOFACE

// Make the founder have a severely injured spine
//#define SPINE

// Make the founder have severe internal damage
//#define INTERNAL
There is currently no equivalent for recruitment. Perhaps the hospital in a later version might be a good place to put disabled citizens? Now that I think about it, having blindness, spinal damage result in an increase in heart would be awesome. The Liberal Guilt Squad: so pathetic, everybody wants to just let them win.

I remember when I got both of my founders arms blown off, sad but hilarious
