Yeah, they do, and in my opinion they should stop that. Instakills are not cool (although they seldom actually kill any juiced Liberal). However, once again I must note that handling risks like that is the reason many game are exciting.

Perhaps they could only do it in response to detecting your safehouse in a way you could have prevented and can anticipate, such as kidnapping one of your Liberals in the proposed CCS-tries-to-recruit-your-guys system.

What if each site would have a "hot spot", the LIBERALLY OPTIMAL place for the bomb (usually a conventional one, but some special bomb could be acquired from the army base or Intelligence HQ or somewhere like that), and after planting the bomb your Liberals have a time limit for getting out before the bomb goes off?
Yeah. This would be good for the dirty bomb or C4. But the C4 should need to have multiple points to have a real effect on the building.

The least severe option could be a literally dirty stench bomb...

Stench bombs are truly ridiculous. So they fit. It would be funny to sneak a stench bomb in the Gentlemen club. And throw dirty socks or other smelly stuff to reduce the conservative equivalent of juice. Bocals to be filled with liquid so that conservative swine will be able to say that they have be shown who is the boss...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Silly and symbolic but harmless (except for dignity (reduce juice)) terrorism would be fun.

Stench bombs are, almost paradoxically, both ridiculous AND serious, a bit like cake attacks. Sure, they're fairly neglible as actual deeds of terrorism, but they do have symbolic value. "We don't take you seriously, you're ridiculous!" If there had been a ANCS (Anti-Nazi Crime Squad) in Nazi Germany, the best thing they could've done would've been to utterly ridicule the deities of their enemies - Hitler, Goebbels and Göring. LCS could do this as well.

Leaflet bombs are a great way to Inform the mass.

think of them like a issue of the newspapper, but given out by a bomb.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

What if bombs had to be crafted by the Liberals themselves in most cases? They could be split between two classes, large timed bombs and smaller cracker-class thrown bombs. The first would be used to shut down sites and the second would be explosive thrown weapons that could, if done with good science skill, even damage tanks.

That sounds even better!

If this is done, molotovs should be moved from a store-bought item to the bomb-making interface.

Yeah. Bombs could also have a quality ranking similar to clothes. Guess what happens sometimes with fourth-grade bombs?

I imagine the liberals words would be something like this "AAARRGH! MY ARMS! WHERE ARE MY ARMS!"

What happened: "My hand was blown off by a crappy home made bomb."
What you tell the insurance company: "It fell off after I was stung by, like, a REALLY vicious bee."
What you tell the chicks: "Yarr, I'm a swashbuckling pirate."

A true story related to home-made bombs but totally off-topic in terms of gameplay. Ignore if you like.

Many years ago at the comprehensive school, we had this kid who was really into bombs. He didn't pay attention to anything but whenever our beloved Physics teacher mentioned bombs, explosions, gunpowder or anything like that, he instantly sharpened up. The teacher was glad he actually was interested in something, but was already getting fed up with the bomb-kid's constant demands: "Let's build a hydrogen bomb! But Mr. Sejase's class built one!" and so on. It wasn't exactly a mystery to anyone that this kid loved bombs.

Christmas break came, and then, New Year. Plenty of fireworks. And guess what, the bomb-kid came to school with his right arm wrapped in bandages. The teacher was midly amused to see this, and said "Do I need to even ask what happened to that hand of yours?". The kid replied: "I bought a lot of fireworks, extracted the gunpowder and put them in a 1,5 litre soda bottle. Then I put a fuse in through the bottle's mouth and lit it. The fuse fell in the bottle sooner than I thought so I couldn't get my hand away in time and had some burns." The teacher smiled and asked "Well, I assume you learned something from this?" to which the bomb-kid replied...

Yes, teacher, I did. I should've drilled a hole in the bottleneck and put the fuse through it instead of the bottle's mouth.

I haven't heard of the bomb-kid since then. I guess he's either the bomb-adult or a crater now.
