Bank robbery? Bank robbery?!

Forget liberalism, I'm just gonna assemble a gang of bank-robbers and blaze a trail of crime across the country.
It's funny that I see this today, since just yesterday I was thinking how cool it would be to have a Depression-era gangster mod for LCS...

This may be messed up, but since you were toying with Interigation in 4.05, maybe if you have to kill the person, or the person kills themselves, there should be a chance that the person not only losses heart/juice, but kill themselves.

about the suicide , i guess the liberal would think that he did it for the liberalism and continue bringing the nation on the right path .

if the liberal has -250 juice , now then he must be depressive and maybe run away from the LCS and surrender to the police because of the things that are eating his soul or maybe just do a suicide .

I'd like to request a small addition:

Smartphones.

PDAs are as outdated as hell, even in 2009, so smartphones are the way to go.

Actually, if a liberal ever drops below -50 juice, they automatically leave the LCS.  Dunno if they commit suicide, but I remember the text being rather grim, so it's certainly imaginable.

i remember that my urban commando once had -90 juice or something like that , after i mistakenly killed 14liberals (including 6 children that i released from opression and i had to kill them to get better recruits) .

And the liberal stayed?  Either the -50 juice defection only occurs at the end of the month, or it was removed in since I last saw it (it really was a long time ago, as I'd rather have the Police kill my recruits instead of my followers [I've even got a name for it: Unarmed Attack on the Police Station]).

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Even if they don't defect, a -50 Juice Liberal is as good as useless. The cap on all of their stats, and therefore all of their skills, is one.

[brainfreez]

my liberal leader went out with a liberal blow and burned down the police station with molotovs right before a hick stabbed him to death with his pitchfork .

Bank heists are waaaay to easy.

There needs to be a way to release hostages though, I don't want to keep those bank managers.

(Also, special thanks to Blomkvist on SVN; I don't know who that corresponds to on the forums, but the man is a machine when it comes to fixing bugs, large and small, and making those small quality-of-life changes that would otherwise slip through the cracks.)

Thank you.

Thanks Jonathan, you are a boss. I just hope your financial situation can handle all this work on the side.

Ehh, I appreciate the support of those who sent me money this week, but I still need to get my space game released fairly soon.

I won't be working like this through the whole weekend; I run a D&D session tomorrow, so I'm going to have to set LCS aside to prepare for that. After that, I need to look at the space game. Even if money wasn't an issue, I have prior commitments to the guy I'm developing the game with. It's almost done though, so I'll have to see where things sit when it's released.

Edit: just wondering, have you looked at the Tiled Map Editor? How does it compare to DAME? I'd like to use such a tool so I don't have to reinvent the wheel with my own game and I was wondering about your opinion on it.

I haven't; a quick look at the Wiki shows it exports a much more complicated file format than I'm using for LCS maps. That makes it more powerful, though integrating would have taken longer. I'm having DAME export dirt-simple CSV (comma separated values) "spreadsheets" of tiles that look like this:

1,1,1,1,1,1,1
1,7,7,7,5,7,1
1,7,2,2,2,2,1
1,7,7,7,7,7,1
1,1,1,1,1,1,1

With Banks being robbed does this mean we are on the cusp of Money Sinks?
