The crushing agony of failure
« on: March 23, 2013, 08:10:38 pm »

So my "get one squad of all profession types" game failed because the country got too liberal too fast and I couldn't get the slaves, child workers and such that you only see at +C laws.  I tried waiting for the laws to backslide but it took so long that all my liberal were old and decrepit by then, plus after 30 or so years when I tried to reform the squad the game crashed anyway :(  Which brings up a question: to people ever die of old age in LCS or will they just keep getting older and older?

So now I'm starting again but with the intent to recruit/brainwash the +C types (slaves, dead squad officers, etc) before the laws can change, and focusing on not doing anything to promote the liberal agenda until I have all the +C types I need.  Wish me luck!  Or tell me I have too much time on my hands, either one.

Yeah, people can die of old age.  Once you hit 50, your base stats (as in, before Juice effects) have a chance to drop once per year or so; I forget the exact details.  When base Health hits 0, you die.

Not exactly:

Intellegence increases with age
Wisdom increases with age
Heart decreases with age
Strength peaks around the 40's
Agility decreases with age
Health decreases randomly after 60 years of age
Charisma increases with age after adulthood.

Good luck! You also have too much time on your hands.
