XPZ Strategy/Tactics / Re: General strategic questions
« on: September 20, 2023, 01:50:32 pm »
I would suggest looking at the bounty offering and picking a branch that offers the weaponry you want, if you feel you need stronger weaponry.
Just off the bat, Catgirls do great with suppressed pistols. A pistol that does 40 or so damage per shot is a good choice.
Other good weaponry that can, potentially be in your range is the Big Ben SMG, a monster even for barely trained peasants. Fo not even need trophies for it.
These are options that do not take great investment in advancement.
Another weapon line that might take some luck or research to get are golden weapons. A rifle, smg or pistol go well with your catgirls, but making the ammo for them is kinda a bitch, but if you do, you have a reliable midgame firearm that has enough punch and accuracy and can even go to space.
But if you are researching, try and head towards armored cars. A 14mm AC is a BEAST, and well worth the investment to get, despite possibly delaying Back to School via gnome.

XPZ Strategy/Tactics / Re: The Chaos Saint: How Codex choice can affect your game

I would advise Lazyass for no codex. Jackass puts way too much pressure on a start that already is askew. Dumbass has the whole entire schtick with no Analytics room, so it makes research painful exactly at the time you would want to keep up the research uptime to shore up your weaknesses in craft and weaponry. Soreasss is....fine, but will ruin your chances of getting good recruits from events.
As for the path, Peasant Revolution has, of course great strategic and tactical benefits, ehile Gals are Superior are just plain good.
But of course, you have to go Male Touch for the extra secret 7 heroes event.

That is a problem that Dio knows, and you might want to wait for the next version where he said that the Thunderbolt spam will be reduced.

Can you elaborate on which random events? Which month? How much money you started with? What difficulty? This sounds like Turan starting events maybe? If so, has nothing to do with personality, has to do with country you started with. But it could be a half dozen other happenings.

We're up to N5 now, man. There's no support for old versions, in general. Why not update to N5?

Also, you should have 3m if you did so well on infamy last month. Try not to tap out your cash on the 1st of month.
Also 45 months in and you have still trouble with 3M? Come on now. That is just not believable.

Oh man. You fell trap to the UI monster.
Ok, what you need to do is go to the dropdown menu that filters the categories of items shown in the buy menu, select the 'hidden' category, and rightclick your hidden item back. It will show in the normal list again.
The idea behind this 'rightclick to hide' is to send obsolete weapons and ammo to the UI oubliette so you do not have to scroll many pages to buy what you need.
Also, this preference is saved in the save file itself, so it will persist through everything, except starting a new save.

Many civilians know about the shadowmasters, you just have to interrogate a bunch (or more, if you are unlucky) for them to spill the beans.
Syns are....difficult. the most obvious way is dealing with the Technomancer, but that is a bitch and a half to do correctly, though a syn is assured if you do it right.
The other ways are a rare space mission, getting a body from junk piles...nothing you can do except not sell junk and be prepared for space missions.
There are other robotic and robotic-ish allies you can enlist, like Xenforcers(luck), Destroid(red), Dullahan(gray).

They should be in the inventory menu when you load out your ship. If they are not, drop a save here, they might have bern lost in the change of hounds to named hounds.

I am not actually 100% sure, but I think Smoothies cause neg score, unless they were previously researched.

Peasant revolution provides at least one major strategic benefit, one major tactical benefit, and multiple smaller other benefits, at the cost of closing off one othe major recruitment method.
Personally, I think that the benefits are worth it, BUT ONLY if you do not lose elite soldiers that often. If you do, and stuggle keeping your gals alive, you are very seriously going to be in considerable pain.
I am going to dissent a bit. Yeah, even on peasant or male path you can buy gals later. But later mens LATER, set firmly in mid-game. This is not something you can plan on achieving any sooner than 12 months in, and likely around 18 months in.
So if you cannot keep your elites alive, go with Gals are Superior.

It is a lore thing. I am not entirely sure how much is Blade Runner and how much is Xpz lore.
