Is this game trying to make a statement? I've been playing it on and off since my last posts. I haven't done anything very Liberal, and suddenly everything is conservative. The security system of America has been corrupted and now the army is basically killing it's own citizens for menial crimes.
Can you imagine hearing screaming, looking out your front door to see a homeless person tackled, and shot the head multiple times?
So I just started and I need to know how to get juice quickly and where to buy guns. I have a prostitute and a gang member, both have weapons, that want to join, but my liberal that talks to them doesn't have enough juice. Additionally, my founder could use a gun to protect himself and kidnap people.

Ah, I'm screwed. Everything went quite well until a prostitute got arrested, ratted out pretty much everybody and my founder along with his best men were about to kidnap a CEO on the same day. Fast forward 5 minutes later, my founder is on the ground, bleeding, my two gangster recruits are dead and my last dude alive is getting mauled by a police dog.
"Delta yells out: "Never retreat, never surrender!"
The police officer mistakenly fires at Delta!
The police officer hits the head!
Then all is silent...
All sleepers went away, all converted left as well and all I control now is a handfull of prostitutes.
How hard is it to kill somebody? I shot a cop thrice to the body and slashed him twice and he still took my squad down.
That was just unlucky. Normally you can supress one or two police/deathsquad units before they even attack you, but if you don't then you have some trouble coming.
A single deathsquad unit was able to kill two of my athlete warriors, and one of my trainees (I wanted her to be the next leader, if that was possible, because I was getting old) and left me with neardeath wounds.
A little tip: Always bring two people on a raid/offensive. At least two. Because if one of them dies then your characters can pick them up and use them as a body shield :)
I just learned this the hard way.
If shit happens, and there's no way to fight your way out...
Take a hostage.
I trained seduction up so high to recruit high level conservatives, found a CEO and seduced him first try and he started sleeper as "ineffective" :argh:

That works to. But the downside to that is if they don't let you go and decide to open fire, you drop the hostage when they die. No more bodyshield.
What's the best way to convert a kidnapped person?
Alright, as far as my attempts at this game go this one went tits up rather quickly, I chose all the start options that would allow for a high persuasion and a couple for security and theft skills, went to hire some prostitutes to get some cash flow going, but was going to steal cars for a while at the start for that little bit more cash I'd need.
On stealing my second car I get spotted by a couple of police gang squads, trying to escape my characters face got blown off, I decided to surrender then, deciding to kill my character I head to the police station to punch a policeman and get shot, after a short scuffle that my character survived but got caught again, this is the end result.

So.
I invaded the Fire Station. Didn't end too well. I was lucky that I only lost an arm.

Get a liberal with high charisma, heart, and/or psychology. Let them go with no food or water for 2 days, feed them and give them drink, and repeat. Experiment with it a bit for better results.

Buy guns from the Pawn Shop in the Commercial District or from Gang Members at the Crack Houses.

Its satire. Also, game mechanics. If you do nothing to further your goal early on, it will become harder to obtain later.

Personally, I go:
Liberal with high strength and cold blood, no sleep, no food, no water, restrained and daily beatings. After about 2 days, I use a character with high psychology to just talk to them; no restraints, give them food and water, whatever they want. Just persuade them. They'll either cling onto him as a rock to sanity or they will understand that if they don't cooperate, we'll rough them up a bit more.
At 500+ juice with persuasion and psychology maxed out I go:
No food/water/sleep for two days
Default settings for one day
repeat
heyyyy
bump
Gotta try this. Just liberated a bunch of sweatshop workers, bought them an AK and 4 mags each, and gonna send em off on crazyass missions. That was a lot of money, 6 AK's + 4x6 ammo. Maybe train them and get them their own bodyarmor. That or it'll completely fail.

They did fine, mostly just running around shooting security guards and engineers in the news station...when the SWAT arrived I got the hell out of there but then this happened.

Holy [B]shit[/B].
Was that an [I]army[/I] of hillbilly's and hicks?!
Stop dying already..
Three of my Liberal Activist Death Squad went into an oil refinery and killed 28 people, including 12 police officers all wearing Mithril and weilding Dwarven Hammers.
They later got arrested and all of them were on trial for 42 counts of murder and killing police officers
My awesome lawer with 9 points in law got them off the hook.
Later that month my main guy was arrested for 1 count of racketeering. :(
He was sentenced to death.
FUUUUUUUUU
What do the claimed actions do exactly?
People know you did it.
They know even if I do unclaimed actions :(
Sorry to bump the thread, but I've really gotten into this game again.
So far I've had my empire going for 3 years, I've been publishing secrets every month from my 13 sleepers.
I also have a kidnapping squad of 3 guys with MP5's and anyone who I can't convert before they are reposted missing goes and sells brownies, when they're caught I let them die.
If you're seeing unclaimed/claimed actions still then you are playing the old version. Go here and download the latest version from the forums:

New version has lots of bug fixes. :buddy:
There also seem to be a lot of changed stuff. Donations could be useful if recruitment wasn't working and that's gone for example.
I'll have to give it a try now.

I think donations can net you hundreds of dollars per liberal now. I have to test it out however.
Has anyone actually ever won?
bumping this because the only other thread is a Let's play where one guy is doing his playthrough, so i don't want to spam up his thread.
How the hell do you interrogate, i have like 16 charisma and nothing works! Ahhhhh
Shit got my shotgunner's legs blown off in a raid and i'm trying to heal him. Shit shit shit
I'm going to be completely honest:
I have no idea what to do now. I'm terrible at this game. :v:
