LCS extremely easy/hard start edit
« on: December 20, 2009, 07:31:57 pm »

V0.02 available: http://www.filedropper.com/lcsstartchange002
Hopefully I didn't screwup. There are no changes for players other then the hardest difficulty.
As a warning, and since this is the curses board, the hardest difficulty is cursed, Have fun.
The rest of the options haven't changed



Well, I was bored and after looking at the cheat topic I decided to make a few quick edits to LCS to make it easier/harder for role-playing purposes.

Select E at the final question.

To give you an example of overpowered, imagine having every skill at 200, or maybe just start at 20.

On the flip side, you can start in probably one of the worst starts possible. A founder with 20 wisdom + alot of health issues, and he seams to have forgotten every skill ever taught

Changes to source are included but I've been quite lazy coding this, the most used character on the keyboard was control , general followed by C or V.

The mod is available at http://www.filedropper.com/lcs-cheatmod
Does not include other files for LCS, needs to be copied into a folder with LCS already installed

If anyone manages to beat the hardest setting, They deserve an internet cookie.

What version did you mod? cause in the latest version with that save file in the cheat thread you could recruit an agent in 1 day. But with this you can't recruit them no matter what. (super ultra maniac badass setting)

EDIT: I tried doing it on normal badass setting and I can recruit in 1 day. Weird.

I just tested it, and you're right. It must be a bug with having such high skills(way beyond maximum).

He is great for combat though :)

I'm trying to play through on the hardest setting. Having a founder with a broken spine and no skills is not easy.

EDIT, its modded from the sourcecode of 4.01.4

I MUST play the old, cynical founder!

...Course, when I recruit a hippie or three to actually run things, I gotta ask "how's this different from my regular games?" ;D

Not much, if you want I can make it so that the game becomes harder when you finally recruit that hippie

Why is it when I play on any badass dificulty setting it crashes midsession and won't respond when I reopen it? Thus making me have to delete the save file and start over again.

No idea. I only changed a small bit of code at the start, the skills being higher then normal might be the reason, Can you send a save when that happens next.
The only other thing I might have done is left out a line of code somewhere, but I doubt it.

Other ideas: Sweatshop workers/child workers/Servants
Paydirt.
Can even get the founder killed so somebody "good" takes over.
Oh, and I'm playing on Nightmare/Strong CCS.  Is there any other way?

An idea: Can I get my founder to change to the conervatives by fighting an Arch-Conservative, then get him/her back via guitar playing/kidnapping, with decreased wisdom/increased heart?  Hm, interesting...

I'm making changes right now, be warned though it will be harder.

TIP: In this mode, Juice is even more important then normal

I can hardly wait to nerf the changes...he he he.

Just thought of a cool story why a 20 wisdom character would be leading the LCS.  Has to do with being a former CCS, now seeking revenge by destoying "Utopia" (in his eyes) and the organization that wronged him.

It's not that bad.  At least max business is 20 with this guy.  Maybe he's the braindead son of CEO?  Meeting some guy that grants magic powers certainly seems like a drug trip to me...guess his went wrong.

New version has been released. I haven't done more testing then the bare minimum so be warned.

I think I might have gone OTT with the hardest difficulty, it possibly might be harder then playing DF with land-carp

Nice, my founder in old hard mode just died, leaving a hippie and child founder behind.  Typical.  Now to try superhard mode!

It is tough, only good recruits are those you get onsite.

But...this still allows me access to gang members, sweatshop workers, and  professional thieves.

Haven't fully tested the sleeper aspect, but if that's crippled...yikes.

Wonder what happens when cursed original founder dies?

EDIT: Wow, sleepers are cursed too.  Call this cursed mode.  Not fatal because:
1.even sleepers with 1 skill in everything will convert society to liberalism, just not well at all, best as I can tell
2.other sleeper actions are mainly based on infltration, not skill
3.Judge sleepers are based on being judges in regards to helping your liberals

But, should they lose any juice, they'll leave the organization.  And Lawyer sleepers are useless for defense.

EDIT: Founder death is game over, ouch.

Definitely warrants a comparison to skeleton carp.
