I don't have it available at this very moment, but it wouldn't surprise me if Martial Arts was based purely on Agility, and Strength only factors in when calculating damage on a successful hit.

[Ampersand]

After a little experimentation using the character generation, I have determined that it is indeed the lowest of either strength or agility.

In Addition, I would like to report a bug.

"Obama St. Crack House."

[Svirfneblim]

I was playing with the sitemap file deleted and I had a most amusing bug.
The park in the university district, instead of being a park was a set of huge halls where all kinds of people could be met and where all loot I picked up was empty.

[Yanlin]

Best park ever.

I think that's supposed to be read as "Obama St(reet) Crack House". At first, I did read it as "Obama S(ain)t Crack House", which maybe you did as well.

An amusing bug, nonetheless.

It's not a bug. it's a contraction. I was pointing out that it was a crack house on Obama Street.

Actually, the names Barack and Obama seem to be cropping up a lot in randomly generated names in my games.

Same here I got Conservative president McCain on multiple occasions.

Just a few bugs I found.

1. If you set police sleepers to steal equipment, sometimes they'll drop off nameless items. One of them is a weapon that doesn't do any damage or use any skills that I can see, and the other one counts as "None" if you equip it and disappears if you move it to another safehouse.

2. Probably related to the last one, setting agents to steal equipment sometimes causes the game to crash with the message "Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable 'item' is being used without being defined."

3. Perhaps not a bug, but there's no way to teach Dodge. The only other skill you can't teach is Teaching, which makes sense, but Dodge? I'd lump it in with Street Survival.

[Earthquake Damage]

3. Perhaps not a bug, but there's no way to teach Dodge. The only other skill you can't teach is Teaching, which makes sense, but Dodge? I'd lump it in with Street Survival.

I think Dodge (formerly Tactics) is supposed to represent combat experience rather than formal training.  There's a difference between the green soldier and someone who's been shot at for real.  The guy who's survived actual combat is probably better at keeping his head behind cover and so forth.

You can't really teach that.

In fact, it probably makes more sense to have a general "combat experience" ranking for everyone that affects offense in addition to defense (e.g. a rookie uses only half his actual skill, while a hardened veteran fights at 100% effectiveness).

"When bullets fired from the gun are heading in your general direction, you should avoid their trajectory and fire bullets from your gun at your enemy from cover."

Strangeness I found in the code...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For those using Brainwashed Sleepers, you'd likely have many useless janitor sleepers (as well as other "normal sleepers", but most strategies about sleepers talk about brainwashing janitors first, for some reason). When you set these janitors to promote Liberalism, all they do is talk up the LCS. LCS popularity increases. LCS popularity slowly shift issues more liberal. That's it.

At the same time, two new laws, Elections and Religions, are based...solely on LCS popularity. That's right. If the LCS is popular, people will support election reform and the seperation of state and church. If the LCS is unpopular, people will not support election reform and the seperation of church and state. It actually makes sense really, if you are against liberal terrorism, it stands to reason that you would support raising the donation cap on political contributions to ensure that these politicans can be bought by special interests. You know, purely to stop the terrorism.

This now means janitors actually have a direct use! Janitors, by directly affecting LCS popularity, will now be able to affect two laws at once! Sleepers don't even have to worry about alienating the Sites by their promotion of Liberalism.

If that's the case, it's not a spoiler so much as a mistake on my part. They're supposed to be based on an aggregate of all issues other than the LCS and CCS popularity.

[Servant Corps]

I might be reading the code wrong, but as it stands, the code specifically add in LCS Popularity. Hm. Make sure to fix it, I guess.

[Ampersand]

Well, the maximum possible popularity for the LCS is dependent upon the liberalism of the general populace. Maybe you've got it backwards.
