Briefing!After a week of excessive training every prospective soldier is being briefed by their own agent personally in the very lab they were built, augmented or outfitted, depending of the case.
This first test, they explain, takes place in an occupied city and has two primary goals. The first one is to eliminate enemy forces in the city and any witnesses. Enemy is defined as a person wielding a weapon or military type equipment, and any person being near another who's already defined as an enemy. Number of enemy soldiers is not fully known, but expect a batallion or two. This serves to test your efficiency against traditional forces. There are civilians in the area. Silence civilian witnesses in any way you see fit. Forces occupying the city are known to execute civilians, so blame can be transferred to them with relative ease.
The second goal is to render competing supersoldiers incapable to continue fighting, be that either by forcing them surrender, disabling their weapons or body sufficiently or killing them. It is recommended to avoid killing, since replacing dead supersoldier is very expensive project. That being said, killing competitors does not cause any reduction of your performance score.
If you surrender, you are to leave the city immediately to northward towards mountains. Make sure to hold a weapon above yourself in a manner that prevents its immediate usage to signal others you being out of the test. In case you disable your competitor, you must ensure no enemy forces in the city can reclaim any weapons or equipment left by disabled opponent.
You will be dropped to the area in a protected container. You are to wait for a signal before exiting the container to ensure you cannot use retreating helicopters to locate your opponents. The container will open in direction you should advance.
Questions?
Who was my battlefield commander candidate again? We gotta talk about things.
I just think it'd be more in the spirit of the game to only see what you're fighting on the field. Information warfare is part of the whole thing. But eh.
It's rather a pointless concept, I'd imagine, because of Meshanblov's going to rather... blov everything up, from the looks of it. I mean. Particle cannon gunships. Invisible particle cannon gunships. Let's hope it rains.
At this point it doesn't matter if scientists go read what others did. For soldiers it unfortunately matters more, because they can come up with counter tactics well ahead of possible encounters. Well, nothing can be done about that. If anyone wants to use spoilers, feel free to do so, I'll respond with spoilers too. Otherwise I'm not going to bother.
