Hello good people of Bay 12, I've just downloaded this game and am utterly confused as to what to do. I started by making my character and everything as the manual says to do so and then I attacked the radio station. I tried to take a hostage but ended up killing everyone and then running the hell away. I tried to run away but a hick punctured my spleen with a pitchfork and I ended up in the clinic for three months. Upon coming back I couldn't reassemble a squad.

A little help with this game would be useful, so would anyone mind helping me? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease *puppy eyes*

R --> Z --> A --> (Enter) --> LCS --> (Enter) --> (Enter) --> (Tab)

That should be the process in a can to put your founder back into a squad and able to do Liberal.

The first resource I have for you is the Liberal Crime Squad Wiki. Some of the information's not up-to-date with 4.02.3, but the general theme and guideline of the game remains. Regarding starting help, though, while you're learning the game, you should do your best not to get into combat situations. Assaulting a Conservative site and alarming your foes can be dangerous if you're ill-prepared. Peacefully recruit some Liberals, stay away from the limelight, and work to change the country without sparking too much violence. The information located in this beginner's guide may be of use to you.

Upon coming back I couldn't reassemble a squad.

Whenever I see this I feel obligated to check if you're playing the version in the sticky at the top of the forums (which was released earlier this month), or the version on the main Bay12Games site (which was released four to six years ago). The reason for this is that somewhere in the years between those two releases, help text was added to explain how to assemble your squad; this question used to come up all the time.

The method for assembling new squads is pretty arcane; you press 'R' to Review Liberals, then press 'Z' from that screen to form a new squad. Press the letters associated with the Liberals you want in your squad, then press enter. You'll be prompted to pick a squad name, and then you're good to go.

For your next steps, I would look to recruit some additional characters and use them to fill out your squad. You can do this by talking to Liberals you encounter while visiting sites. Try to set up some fundraising (the 'A'ctivation screen will help here) and raise the money to buy weapons for your group. Practice raids by attacking the factories in the industrial district; visit the pawn shop to buy guns and sell things you steal on site.

Eventually you may want to find someone with high computers skill and use them as a hacker, then invest in a printing press so you can publish their findings. Some documents can also be found by picking up items during site actions; a thief character sneaking around is very useful here, since stealth and disguise skills will help you to avoid notice while Liberating everything not bolted down. Much safer than shooting up the entire location and risking SWAT teams showing up!

Thanks, I'll have a read through that and have another crack at the game.
