Bug fixes:
* Fixed crash bug caused by having someone assigned to spray graffiti when they're not equipped with a spraycan
* Fixed bug causing difficulty rating on making elephant and donkey suits to be extremely high
* Fixed bug causing expensive suits and elephant and donkey suits to cost an extra $200 in materials to make
* Fixed bug causing printing press to be grayed out if you have less than $5000, instead of $3000 as it should be
* Fixed bug causing you to attempt to escape/fight a siege if you press 'f' when a safehouse (not squad) is selected that has people in it, even if there is no siege to escape from
* Fixed bug causing unburied corpses to be counted against the former boss's recruitment cap
* Fixed bug causing the "go to free clinic" activity to be displayed as "promoting liberalism"
* Fixed bug causing everyone just below founder level that is qualified to take over to be promoted if the founder dies, instead of just the most qualified
* Fixed bug causing an extra keypress to be required when recruiting people
* Fixed bug causing some sleepers to be ignored in a month where other sleepers were arrested
* Fixed bug causing police sleepers to leak files to you even when they're set to be affecting the issues
* Fixed bug causing a blank keypress delay when sleepers snooping around don't find anything

Other changes:
* Added death squad uniform
* Added truck pulling out in front of you, stop light with cross traffic in car chases (so in addition to the existing fruit stand of death you now have stop lights and trucks of death)
* Changed free speech arch-conservative text
* Changed thresholds for the house and senate to be considered arch-conservative or elite liberal
* Changed display in the promote screen for the founder level from "LCS Founder" to "LCS Leader" to reflect that the position is inheritable
* Changed some of the activation colors and gave colors to sleeper activities
* Death squad officers will no longer be removed from the chase when they tackle your people
* For clarity, when your people escape in a foot chase, it will display the text saying this before removing them from your party
* Enemies will no longer take over the driver's seat if you kill the driver of their car -- their cars will just crash horribly at the end of the round if the driver dies
* Reduced the defense bonuses given to both sides during car chases
* Shots to the legs during car chases will now hit the car body and do no damage
* Changed skill-attribute links: art, music, cooking are now based completely on heart; religion is now 50-50 heart and wisdom instead of 2/3 wisdom 1/3 heart; business no longer involves charisma and now is just wisdom and intelligence; medical skill is now fully intelligence based instead of 50-50 agility and intelligence
* Normal everyday firefighters are no longer always conservative
* Polls will no longer report the public being most concerned with the LCS, as it's a given that the LCS tends to dominate news cycles if you've been active
* Polls will no longer report the public's opinion of the Conservative Crime Squad before the CCS is on the news
* Softened the caps from activation-based fundraising skill gains; they now gain slowly after the cap, instead of not at all
* Made selling brownies train persuasion less quickly, added small business and cooking skill gains
* Slowed juice loss from prostitution
* Made stealing and breaking down doors not in themselves trigger news stories
* Allowed you to force news reports on your site actions that would otherwise not be notable enough to make the news by hollering your slogan or spraying tags while on site (thus "claiming" the action)
* Fireman sieges no longer kill everyone if you give up, they will arrest people
* The end of the game you lose amendment is no longer proposed by a Constitutional Congress triggered by opinions on the issues, but by Conservative control of Congress; this allows you significantly more time to turn out disastrous results, and makes it more likely that you'll survive imprisonment and be released to the country down the tubes, which is always fun
* Changed some text with scandalous cable news memos that you can publish
* Made all of the appropriate buildings undergo renaming and renovation when the country gets really C+, not just the prison
* Made sites only go to high security if at least a modest amount of crime occurred on site, not just any time there's an alarm
* Removed electronic protection racket; it was just so much money

[vagel7]

i think ill wait till i get a couple more thousand bucks from electronic protection racket and then update.

* Death squad officers will no longer be removed from the chase when they tackle your people

This raised an interesting point to mind: might a high Hand to Hand allow you to resist tackling? As it stands, I expect HtH is a very rarely used skill; this would give it a bit more utility...

[Rezan]

As it stands, I expect HtH is a very rarely used skill; this would give it a bit more utility...

Hey, I resent that. I train every single one of my elite squads to top proficiency in hand to hand combat, and it's very useful for those times I ... uh ... forget to arm them. *coughs*

Jokes aside (not that I wasn't serious; I really do need them in tip to shape for when I forget to arm them) I liked your idea a lot. Hand to hand skill seems logical to link with avoiding tackling.

Any way of getting security to get you a chance of escaping handcuffs? I can't see an expert locksmith being restrained by a pair of steel bracelets with a lock on them - and a master of sleight of hand might be able to steal the key. Just tired of watching my well-trained troops march to prison for my tactical errors. ;_;

[Earthquake Damage]

Q:  Can we buy Guy Fawkes masks yet?

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Yes, Guy Fawkes masks have been in for a few releases (since the 3.15s at least).

[Earthquake Damage]

GLEE!!!

What about a way to scroll through a Liberal's skill list if it gets too long?

[Jonathan S. Fox]

I'm still foot-dragging on that until I decide what to use for the paging keys. The standard pageup/pagedown or brackets is unavaliable, because they're used to page between characters.

One option is to have a full skill list accessible on a separate page.

I'd like to file a bug report.

I was looking for someone to seduct or beat up in the park, having caused two parks to close this way. I was exiting the park, the game crashed, displaying this:



Or is this a problem at my end?

[Jonathan S. Fox]

It's definitely a bug in the game, but unfortunately one that will be very hard to identify without a save file or detailed description that allows me to reproduce it, since vector subscript out of range errors could be triggered by any number of things. The park having been closed down earlier doesn't in itself seem suspicious, but you never know. Did you do anything unusual at the park before leaving?

[LASD]

The bug seems to reproduce at least when I go straight to the park and walk off from the lowest part in the west exit. So nothing unusual has to be done in the park.

Here's a link to the save: (Autosaving is great, I thought I lost the save)

(I have no idea how well rapidshare works, it just was the first way I came up with to provide the save)

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Odd! I'll check it out.

[Gantolandon]

In newspapers, graffiti is counted as theft.

I was looking for someone to seduct or beat up in the park, having caused two parks to close this way. I was exiting the park, the game crashed, displaying this:

Same error, same line, just after setting a member to sell art.

[Jonathan S. Fox]

May be a different bug entirely, given the different cause. Any other details you can give me on the situation? Do you have a save I could use to reproduce it?

[Gantolandon]

Here.
