1) Why can I not get more than 25 war supplies? How do I deal with this cockblock? And is bofors gun even obtainable (in legit ways)?
War Supplies from fighting pirates is capped at 25 war supplies. The only way to earn points that are not capped at 25 is by beating Dengi groups. So pretty much you need the Dengi invasion. The other method of getting the Bofors Gun crew is by becoming High Senator.
Caps moved up, then ways to surpass caps became necessary.
Caps are actually getting more strictly fixed and standardized to around 120/130/150 caps. Almost all the old uncapped stat increases have been stamped out. Gone are the days of Shannisoran's 450 INT Aria or 899 STR Ayden. Hell, Grim even fixed the Cassius bug that allowed him to start with 200+ STR.

Plus if i recall this correctly, the potential bonuses above these caps were cut so even if one cheats higher stats there are no associated bonuses anymore, making it pointless. But i'm not quite sure of this, if it's partially to be the case with some stats :unsure:

Just killed the Dengi King and holy shit this was so hard, this is by far the hardest quest in the game.

If anyone wonders what it takes to win a Dengi invasion:

  • probably more than $10,000,000, so build workshops, become a war baron and sell thousands of auto rifles on Hamah market
  • Bofors Gun, you’ll need it
  • 290+HP health for MC and 200+HP for three followers, to get it:
    • train STR and STA 100, MC and followers
    • buy all health implants for MC, including Health Implant Mark III from USS Seneca and Healing Implant Mark III
    • buy Health Implant Mk II for all followers
  • train MEDICINE 100+, idk how you do it, but you NEED IT (40 points can be gained from books, followers can be educated)
  • buy combat tendstims, can be used up to 9 times per round if all followers Medicine is 100+
  • train skills: Ranged 100+ and Melee 100
  • get traits: Master Tactician (+3dmg for followers and -75 penalty for enemies on the first roll), Master of War (+20dmg for MC)
  • gain Aesir devotion of 100 for MC and 60 for followers (+11dmg for MC and +3dmg for followers)
  • pick followers with Warrior trait (+3dmg), Crackshot (25% crit), and Machine Gunner (+1-20dmg, rare) if you can
  • get weapons: WEGA Cyber Cannon (two if you can), a Minigun, Great Axes for the whole crew
  • get armor: HULK armor for MC and WEGA armor for followers, or buy HULKs for everyone

You can also:
  • buy Stryker Implant ($10,000,000) would be nice, but I couldn’t afford it
  • recruit two Spartans, each gets +10dmg if together
  • feed the female followers until their body type improves to Normal or Well-Built, gives extra HP

Save before the fight and try your luck. Hope that one of the followers is not singled out and incapacitated on the first turn. Hope that Master Tactician trait actually activates. Take out the weakest enemies first to reduce enemy DPM. Heal with combat tendstims.

Some stats, yes. Not combat related stats. Combat related stats are scaling infinitely.

Total team medicine stat gives you more uses of the combat tendstims, allowing you to out-heal damage inflicted in the last round.

Question: Does the name entry under “Properties & Info” --> “Information” --> “Mother” have a deeper meaning in the game, or is it just for visual purposes to make the game look better without deeper meaning to the ingame mechanics?

Aside from incestuous threesomes being blocked, I suppose it helps keep track of who is your own children's mother.

Are there any pros in 90+ liberty? No slaves and no slave markets is good in RL, but not in this game. Do rations sell for 2$ then with +15% food cost?

No there isn't. It's more of an RP-fluff. Have you seen 90+ liberty, ever? Highest liberty i ever had was still under 60 but i never went for liberated Aria NWO either and i assume that has the highest chance to push forward it. I still think it would take ages and luck to get there (legitimately).

I consider it something of a end-goal itself if you ever wanna play a pure, virtuous path. Something when attained you pat yourself in the shoulder and then take a break, restart, play something else. That sort of (the)end-goal. Nice utopia and all that jazz.

From the wiki:

Full Democracy (90+)

Slavery has been declared illegal. All slave markets and missions are closed or terminated and holding slaves (not convicts) in your household will decrease your Influence with 10 points per day, per slave NPC.

You can have up to 128 slaves in the game as far as i know.

That means 1280 influence-loss every day if you don´t want to get rid of all your slaves.

If you expect to gain approx. 5 influence-point from a successful child per day, that means you have to make 256 babys just to compensate the loss of influence-points :p

Or you must make sure all your slaves become or are convicts :)

I wonder if helping Aria founding the third republic more or less leads to full democracy if you do not regulate it :cautious:

Yes, it would, theoretically but it's questionable how long it would take with RNG considered. There would be events to push liberty I ASSUME. But how many.. how often.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can add the newsroom to push for it but i have no idea if it does actually push liberty.

News office does not affect liberty, AFAIK.

One thing not mentioned in the wiki however is that if you keep rebel affiliation after Aria becomes Chancellor, it will increase Aria's affection in addition to increasing control.

= 3 means it's dead. Someone killed it. Skyguard, if not you.
= 1 means its alive and in Kasey Park.
= undefined means it has not spawned yet

The only mother mechanic pertains to your own children. Their starting stats are dependent on their mothers.

Not in five thousand days.

Haven't played this one in awhile, nice to see it's still getting updates. Is the game still wildly inconsistent with it's rolls, or has it been toned-down somewhat? -- I remember it used to be infuriatingly crazy how inconsistent it was in everything, regardless of the selected dice.

Just started playing the game, and the Hundred Guns quest directs me to the "Amber Mall" in Hamilton Square. But there doesn't seem to BE an Amber Mall in Hamilton Square?

The game tells you to go talk to a guy named "Jack" between 8pm and 10pm, so maybe try finding the "Jack" marker between those hours.

Ah, that's exactly what I overlooked. Thank you!

Next question - and hopefully this one won't be as blatantly obvious as the last one (but I fear it is)...is it possible to "fire" an NPC that I've "hired"? For the life of me, I cannot seem to figure out how to remove someone from my household.
