Hello markb50k,
this is my mission review played in GRAA 3.0 mod:
Overview Short and very good.
A version number is there ... great.
Intro Very good and a short informative story.
Cutscenes OutroDidn't come that far yet.
Briefing Very informative and detailed.
I love such briefing where all information you need for your job are available.
Readme Detailed with the Command Engine.
What I didn't realize at my first moves that you can't question the civilians during the step visit
to the troops. I noticed that after I read it in this threat.
Mission Well, what I said the day before ... wow.
The first try I did was by car and I drove around to the locations of the companies and had my first inspections.
After that hour of sight seeing the meaning of life began.
I tried to locate all caches and leader by car and by playing it a while I decided to start all over again from the beginning.
This is my second try now.
After the sight seeing I decided to travel by helicopter which would be much faster than by car.
I managed to find 5 caches and one leader till the uprise began.
Unfortunately the helicopter pilot wouldn't always do what I wanted him to do.
Often when I ordered him to land her started again and I needed several tries to leave the heli.
And when I was on the ground the pilot decided to start and once again I had to tell him to land.
This cost me several minutes of course which I could have spend finding the caches or another leader.
The way this mission is build to just fantastic and very interesting.
Even when I save the game ... and I do that quite often by placing a number in front of the safe.fps name.
This gives me the possibility to continue my testing ... and I died several death by now.
What I've written the day before with the females is meant in serious.
Placing or changing some of the male units against females would bring another touch.
I notice that the civilian units are not placed randomly by an engine. This would make it easy to change a few males into females.
Rather than an operation them ...
After I have arrested one leader I was informed that in a certain time the uprising will begin.
Very good to know how much time is left to find another leader or cache. This won't make it easier but you can hurry up.
Unfortunately the time to find all things is not much and I've had to do a lot to come so far.
Summary This mission will keep a player busy for a long time.
You have to think tactically and strategical. That makes this mission to a high light and the Game OFP to a real tactical simulation.
What was time costly that I had to change every company separately to a different behaviour.
So keep on going and finish this mission to perfection.
