After some years... After some years I considered trying this again and I learned how to stay there for some months. Quick enough, I managed to reach PM status after after some months. Therefore: it's much harder in the beginning than when you manage to stay there for at least 2 months, things get much easier when you get the idea and also have more resources. But, if someone knows, what's with you being one of the Thoth? I have never found how to succeed in these missions... Anyway I find the idea of the game quite singular but the interface is really annoying, punching numbers from 1 to 9 or the arrow keys gets so annoying after some time. I also think that there should be a way to cancel some orders like termination and search after being issued. |

Hi! I'm resurrecting this year old thread because it's the only place this game it's discussed on the Internet and I want to help with a couple things that the well-know FAQ we use doesn't cover. Spoilers-a-plenty! Church of the subgenius I tried the method here and it's way cooler, but on my first try I got away with this: Discrete search on the leaders house. Abduct the donor for interrogation. Profit. The bullet of the assassin You don't need to do anything. There's no need to anger Garcia. If you put surveillance and pursuit on everyone, eventually the killer will show up dead, "executed mafia style". It sounds like a weird bug -I think the game is bugged differently for everyone for what I read- because the text says "a MP has been executed". But no, it's the killer. The Mafia suddenly shows up in your groups and GM-Thoth gives you your blessings. I repeat, do nothing but observe. I'm gonna try without even get surveillance. Pod People The Pod never appeared in Hyde Park for me, and Garcia always got me, so on a "nicer" game I just tried abducting the right targets first thing, without proof. It worked fine. As long as you make the correct play, the game doesn't worry about your investigations. I don't think it will help the guy stuck with this, but... NO SIGHT OF GARCIA I managed to become Master of Thoth / PM without a deadly visit and a lead well over 30 points. It's perfectly doable even without saving, as long as you get a good january case combination. The point is: smear like there's no tomorrow and let some of the bigger cases go by. You shouldn't kill pro-government bigshots. Just take the hit. You can let go of: The airbase strike the Duke of Avon The satanic judge (don't forget smearing the two other implied) the righteous chief of police the hooker friendly guy (another bug for me. he never implies the Thoth, but himself). The Zaxxon guy... I like to kill this one because rep hits tend to stack, but it's up to your lead. This laissez passer policy is specially important if you're gunning for Thoth Supremacy, since that will make you hit at least 3 big guys. Miscellaneous I have this weird bug that when I choose modern and reload the set comes back to classic. Also, on modern some of the suspects and its implications were all mixed up. For example, I killed the loony MP and it gave me the bonus about the Albanian supporter. Abduction always works (but for Duke the Ripper) and Removal can leave you hanging. Infiltration just seems worthy with albanian and the sendero luminoso massacres. You can even rescue Prince Harry by interrogating the third suspects without uncovering him before. Interrogation looks random to me. I usually switch to One but sometimes the right answer comes in the first default session. OK. Sorry for the megatext. Hope it helps someone a couple of years from now. |

Ah bug! Whenevr you get a mission about criminal twins, when reading through reports, do NOT continue beyond the first twin's file, otherwise the game will crash! |

SPOILER: MISSION 1 Finally I bogged out the first mission (although still not sure what to do with the shipment as ransacking costs reputation). I'd right that this has something else then the obvious, although I feel cheated that the man from the 2nd mission who has the same photo as the terrorist from mission 1 are not the same person. To my suprise missions from Toth seem to be random too, but who cares until I don't loose missions. My QUESTION is this: I finally abducted the smuggler, beaten out the info of his secret organisation. I started to infiltrate (the 3 random question the interrogator ask are really too few as only the day after I assigned all 100 agent to infiltrate turned out that the terrorists has only 10 member), but all of a sudden someone called "Shredder" removed all my datas on this group (and every detail of the mission) due to "security purposes".  Is this normal? |

With the current problems at me with Shadow Man I decided to try out something different. I considered originally Princess Maker 2, but this seems much more appealing  A thing what the manual doesn't mention: any timed action (like search, assassination etc.) can not be canceled. Crap. Also the Archive seems lacking. I just rolled sme trria-runs on the first ingame week, and the first case's files (2nd day) disappeared on the next (3rd) day! Then I got report of actions of the person under surveillance, and I didn't know who it is talking about. Oh, anyone could explain me what is the difference between surviallence and pursuit? I mean by game-terms. The reloading-time is also unexpectedly long, but the game seems interresting and realistic. But the many case running paralell makes it advisable to make notes on EVERYTHING you have your hands on. (Especially as I have no idea what to do with reports of buying special submarines for your army, lol) EDIT: Oh, and the message when you quit fits into the profile too

Infiltration I've been trying to experiment with this some, however: How does Infiltration functionally work? Should I start by infiltrating with an agent every day? Some cases simply go by too quickly for infiltrating to have any apparent effect. I've tried infiltrating with all 100 agents you start off with, and I've only (so far) managed to become 25%-50% of very small organizations (35 member Monday club for example)...which seemingly has provided me with no information at all. Does conducting a Dis-Information Smear campaign against a group hinder/help/have no effect at all on your infiltration? Does infiltration help/hinder a smear campaign? I've been unable to locate any kind of a guide that answers these questions (the best I found was a "walkthrough" of ways to solve some of the common scenarios, some of which recommend infiltration, but no explanation of how infiltration works, and what to do once you achieve it.) |
