First off I would like to say that I'm a huge fan of LCS. Ive gotta say the recent work on it is awesome. So gratz to Fox and all the others who have worked on it.

Now on to the actual point of this topic... Personally I think other gangs (besides the LCS and CCS) should do more to the game world. I remember there was a topic (cant seem to find it) that brought up the possibility of the LCS hiring mercs. So when playing I thought we should be able to convince other gang members to fight for the liberal cause (and I dont mean indoctrinating them!!!)

This can also be taken further into creating alliances between the LCS and other gangs. This could allow:

• joint operations
• some extra support during sieges
• and overall just help you change public opinion

So please comment.

It's definitely an interesting idea.

But if you are going to add allied gangs for the LCS, it should also be an option for the CCS. And gang should be able to make independent attacks as well.

Hypothetical: You decide to run a prostitution ring and start cutting into a local gangs profits. They decide to run a few raids, trying to scare you off.

There's been multiple threads/posts on this(I've started one myself), it's a good idea.

Yeah I didnt see that you had made one... but it doesnt hurt to bring the idea back up. Here's the link:

And you had some pretty good ideas Little...

Little, I keep thinking you're Aqizzar what with the avatar and all...

That's part of the fun! 

Yeah, profit-oriented gangs, bombings, protests, and Liberal Road Trips are my most desired features.

then the CCS can be made of many gangs each with there aims
i think that 4 gangs is a good number.

I.E. the rasict gangs part is based on KKK/Aryan Brotherhood
core issues:Gay Rights,Civil Rights,Immigration,Women's Rights.

not all gangs add the same support i.e. the gun nuts let the CCS have better guns,the rasict gangs give more man power,

I do like the idea of profit-oriented gangs that you could work with to maximize both your profits. Then as you develop a better relationship with the gang, they could offer to assist you in liberalizing the country.

And I think everyone wants Liberal Road Trips. If I can get a hand on Visual C++ 2008, I might try to add a working road trip option.

My personal opinion is that the CCS needs to remain the CCS, but other gangs need to be added that fight for personal profits. That is until the LCS teams up with them.

Oh, and one final note that I'm sure someone has suggested before: We should be able to meet up with the CCS squads at locations. Like both the LCS and CCS attack the same location and find each other there...

[Funk]

well if you get assist thay shoud.
the idea of the CCS being made of a group of gangs was to make it easyer to stop or lessen there attacks but make them harder to stop.
the fact that it makes them get better as you do better helps them to live longer.

[Demonic Pancake]

Well the LCS can get assistance in the form of other gangs (remember, the gangs are liberal).
While the CCS can get help from the corporations, conservative politicians, etc.

While I agree with making the CCS harder to stop in the long run, I think there are better ways. In fact, I think Little's topic (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=31930.0) had many different ideas for making the CCS last longer. For example: Removing the "three strikes" approach to stopping them.

Yeah, that thread had some good ideas bouncing around in it.

One of my favorite ideas was the idea for the bank (that was yours Little, wasn't it?) This game is supposed to be based off the SLA and no banks to rob? WTF!!!

Yeah, but balancing the game is important, too. We wouldn't want to make it too easy.

[Megaman]

lol little, bank robberies would be pretty hard, and incriminating. If they found out the LCS pulled a string of bank robbies, the feds might get PISSED

And destroying entire National Guard units wouldn't piss them off?
