Gameplay Idea:Fist Of The North Liberal
« on: December 13, 2011, 12:18:42 pm »

You may not be able to tell, but i'm kind of a Hokuto No Ken fan.
It goes like this: The founder must be trained in martial arts.
The founder shall be named "Insert Fancy Martial Artist Name Here"
If the founder reaches old age, recruit a liberal and juice him up to the point he can replace the founder, then train him in martial arts.
You may only recruit Sleepers, be they Moderate, Liberal, or Conservative.
However, if you encounter a Conservative Martial Artist or Black Belt, you must engage in combat with them, as they are the Fist Of The South Conservative.
This is meant to be a basic gameplay challenge that nobody will ever do because martial arts is useless against body armor.

Not so useless, really; stealth and disguise are quite powerful by themselves, and that's the strategy you use for a one-man game if you don't want to get killed by a lucky shot eventually. Having to immediately attack all conservative black belts and martial artists is a way of forcing you to fight rather than stealth at least some of the time.

Yeah, but Conservative Black Belts don't appear in most secure Arch-Conservative Locations.  They may appear at the CEO residence, CCS hideouts, maybe the AM and Cable Stations, I dunno.  They can certainly appear as you flee from the Police Station, the Court House, and Fireman HQ.  But generally, you'd have to beat them up while getting a latte downtown.

Are you allowed to use melee weapons? Also, any restrictions on what you can wear?

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

It's a pity LCS doesn't treat combat as DF. I'd love to punch/kick people as well as wield a Katana. That would make this gameplay style complete.

That would be fun, but i don't think LCS's code would support it without the power of the druids.

I think that incapacitating opponents is more important than actually killing them most of the time.

I'd say that's true in LCS currently.  Once an enemy's injuries become severe enough, they stop shooting at you, and may randomly crawl away.  And if they're chasing you, then you can outrun them if you are not equally hurt.

In fact, the code for driving factors physical condition into it heavily, to the point where a Liberal in a Bug (Bugs have no benefit) with no driving skill can usually evade an Agent in a Black Sedan if the Agent is hurt enough (Agents usually have decent driving skill, and Black Sedans are better than any vehicle the LCS can hope to use).
