Check the my blog for more info and new stuff about my new Board Game Project. Stalker Clear Sky (the Board game) :)
Meet the Snitch who is working for the Army grunts. His name is Valera, And Valerian (the leader of Loner faction) Will notice something strange about this spy and decides to ice him. So the task will be in the game. :)
Most of the assassinations task can acure among your own faction units.
You can eather choose to Leave this snitch alone to use him in battles OR you can get the bigger reward of simply eliminating the card from the game.
ABOUT THE SNITCH
As you can see, his pitiful leather jacket is uppgrade compaired to original rookie leather jacket. His story is that he killed a rookie in the swamps and stole the Armour for himself to blend in the Loners faction to steal the information about there movements and progress. You will also notice how Valera the snitch talks and that he carrys a Spetsnaz-scoped An-94 Abakan That is used mostly in Spetsnaz operations. IF you let the snitch live, youll get a pretty good fighter... but its up to you ;)
Valera Stats
*Rank 3: Veteran = rolls 3 dice in battles (Indevidually when alone)
*Weapon: Storming spetsnaz Abakan that every rookie asks where he got it, Valeras only excuse was that he stole it from the army grunts
*Behavior: Rude, non social unless spoken to important enemy commanders.
*Backpack: Can carry any items
*Armor: Uppgraded by himself, bulletproof +2 and anti radiation mask +2
Overall: Valera is pretty mutch noticeable in the game. He has an odd style to his charakter that evey loner wants to know.
Would it be possible to have a loot card that allows you to loot dead bodies? Like say you decide to assassinate "Valera" here and have the loot card in your hand you could play the card when you decide to assassinate him steal his gear so that you can give it to one of the lower equipped loners.
Unfortunately no, since it would be very hard to do and causes alot of tokens to be in the game for EVERY units that can turn into a mess and confusion. This game must low down its ''unnecessary components if NEEDED and get the important content in''
For now we got the traders here to give guns to your rookies. The only feature here at this point that i can come up with is the stealing of VP points from the dead bodys aswell as the bought gear that you got from trader.
The decision and interaction with the gameplay must be based on choices you make. There for you will always have an option of keeping ''Valera'' alive he wont do harm. Once the task card comes into play you will ALWAYS get a choise that can serve you any time (come in handy) eather way. If you choose to spare his life, he would be definitely a good combatant in your squad. IF you choose to KILL him well no problem! you can get a good reward that can prolly feed your faction and your needs in the future (ofcourse Valera would be dead)
SO as you can see its all part of a the game here it all depends on your gameplay strategy. To win battles here and there you need firepower points, upgrading your squad's weapons so that they dont jam in the battlefield (for that we got the faction personal mechanic ;) You will need key target points on the camp in order to win and take over terretory that can be used for eather upgrading a squad member or to buy/upgrade weapons and items.
In the end once again...alot of stuff is already in the game ;)
