Can you guys be so kind as to post trade routes?
Here's a very useful one early on and for if ever you run into a financial emergency; it's given by Apis early on in the game.
Lintu Camp | Wool -> Pullid Camp | Yarn -> Kivi Camp | Jackets -> Lintu Camp | And repeat...
Yarn earns quite a bit early on, while jackets earn tons even later on.
Also, I'd advise you guys not to buy maps. They cost quite a bit, and you'll be given coordinates to important cities anyway. (You'll need to read your Tribal Region map to find the Drekar camp, though.)
Awesome. An improvement as it's more interactive, and I really felt worried for Jinora.
You're doing quite well! You should probably try making a longer RPG-style sequel next if you're planning for one. The story and each protagonist's job just seems to call for one.
In Wiretap, if even one enemy sees you, the mission is a failure.
Strengthen your stealth game, have 0 heat, and maybe wait until you're Captain rank, as it unlocks secondary LZ extracts, before trying this mission. It's pretty difficult.
@Herpmcderp — Well, it's not like the Officer will do much damage with his little handgun. His abilities, though, are good enough.
Personally, though, I wish he'd carry a rifle or carbine for realism; officers with pistols seems to be more of a WWI thing.
By the way, happy V-E Day, guys!
There is not a way to reset progress. There is no real reason to do this though. The starting options only define your starting ships and starting gold. If you find yourself at a messy situation early on, message us at #1 and we will send you some gold.
For your good info, you can change your name or nationality by meeting the Governor, at the court.
@KillerHP — As ninjaace said, the Huey choppers didn't hang around. In fact, I read a book written by a real LRRP ("Eyes Behind the Lines" by Gary Linderer), and he said that chopper pilots during Vietnam encouraged Rangers to get on board in less than 7 SECONDS if possible. Staying down too long would only further increase the risk of the mission being compromised, and the chopper getting hit by enemy fire. Anyway, in the game, you should try to make sure to reach your LZ BEFORE calling in an evac if possible, and yes, others in first. POW's and pilots board faster as they only need to reach the edge of the chopper blades to be brought on.
No, you can't swap inventory items. The best you can do is carry dead Rangers around to use their items. To use another Ranger's items, click on the equipment button and click on the little arrows below the selected Ranger's picture. Keep clicking until you find the equipment of the other Ranger you want. Note that the Rangers have to be close.
(Final Part) ...Lastly, I don't understand the money system. Aside from being, like the UI, a bit small and hard to read, it doesn't show how much it costs to reload and repair. You also have to reload and repair in combat, which makes no sense, frankly. Best you put that in the briefing screen.
Anyway, for suggestions, a bit obvious: More choppers and weapons to buy and upgrade. Also, the main menu is a bit bland. Even a few extra vehicles would be nice; they don't need to move, only stay there. Finally, I'd recommend you tweak the title, possibly replace the "recon" with "battle" or "combat", as the AH-64 Apache, the attack helo portrayed in the game, isn't a recon helicopter, but an attack helicopter. Also, don't forget to capitalize the words of the title.
Anyway, that's all. The game seems great despite the issues, and I'd be willing to try a sequel or any of your other subsequent games. Good luck.
(Part 2) ...A briefing screen of sorts before each mission would be nice, too. No story stuff necessary, just details on what enemies you'll be facing and how many. Also, the ability to pan the camera without moving would be nice, considering you're flying a helicopter with a bird's-eye view of possibly the whole map. Furthermore, it hurts when you're flying to meet the enemy, only to be shot down by a single SAM or AA round just as the enemy appears on the edge of the screen. Also, the UI deserves a major tweak. It's too small and positioned at the bottom, rather inconvenient. I'd recommend you enlarge it, and move it to the top or top-left or -right, or maybe find a way to spread it around the screen, probably around the center, without being too confusing...
My rating's 2/5.
I love the concept; I find it particularly interesting as opposed to, say, a generic, arcade-y top-down shooter. I don't mind the graphics, though of course, they could be better, like many things in this game.
And then, there are the things that could be better. The "tutorial" is a bit too bland, in my opinion. I personally don't like having to read everything, let alone so much in such a game as this, without having that reading juxtaposed alongside actually playing and trying stuff out. I think others would feel the same way. It sucks to have to remember so much instead of learning stuff while actually controlling the craft in battle... (Part 1)
Just completed it. Awesome.
One thing is bothering me, though. Wouldn't his phone have a camera with which he could take a pic of the map while holding it up with a mirror?
@awesomesauce235 — Same here. However, you can use the Ring Quest as one as it has no time limit. I'll still end though, probably, sometime after 100 days.
Finally gotten myself to completer this game. Amazing!
Some things could've been better. (The hack, for instance, I feel could've been more creative aside from just button mashing, and the ending [don't worry, no spoilers!] really seemed too abrupt, and some dialogue aside from that cliffhanger really could've spiced things up. I also would've enjoyed some variety in the soundtrack.)
However, the game has a lot of great things. I especially loved the Clone Battle! I also appreciate your sense of humor and all the hidden stuff.
Anyway, 5/5, guys. Wonderful. Would love to play the sequel.
