I know that LCS is not intended to be an easy game, but as it stands it's still a bit harder when everything starts off arch-conservative. Why not have an option as to just how backwards the nation has become? You could set it at conservative, arch conservative, or dare I say it, moderate.

It would help new players to the game in the latest beta.

Weird. I made the exact same suggestion a while back! I don't think I created a thread for it, though; maybe that's why it went by mostly unnoticed.

The difficulty setting could be integrated into the game as one of the character creation questions.

[cowofdoom78963]

Yeah, Ive also been thinking about this for a while as well. I agree it should be in the game. Just in the character creation part.

Yeah, anything beyond that would be a pain in the ass to debug.

I don't know how much a founder with slightly better stats would effect the game to a significant degree. Maybe only have the CCS show up once instead of three times. Maybe have Juries always be liberal to moderate on easy difficulty settings. That's the sort of thing that would help.

Oh, I completely forgot about the CCS showing up multiple times.

Oh, when I suggested that the difficulty level should be decided during character creation, I didn't mean that it should actually affect the founder's attributes or skills in any way. Just change the starting laws for the better/worse without any permanent consequences for your most important character. Perhaps voter prepositions (an easy method for liberal law changes in conservative administrations) should start deactivated and require a constitutional amendment to be passed first.

When we discussed this the last time, an additional idea was to have the CCS appear as a progressively more organized group with each increase in difficulty. Too bad this pretty much depends on the implementation of the National LCS arc, which Jonathan seems to be abandoning in favour of specific out-of-state 'missions' (I wonder, couldn't those two ideas coexist?).

That's funny, I've already added this feature (let all laws to C+ at start) to the next version of the game.

I could easily make the CCS have fewer "lives" as well.

could you make them have infinate lives for "ULTIMATE HARDCORE IRONMAN CHALANGE MODE! +1"

The DevFox thinks of everything.

three hundred CCS vs 6 LCS members

Go LCS!

[Yanlin]

Yeah! Using more than 6 people is a CONSERVATIVE idea!

You've adopted my colors!

[Yanlin]

I've also added LIBERAL bold.
