Actions: Assault

General Synopsis

This clean and simple thuggish action is one of the early forceful actions you will have if you go down force route. Done in a secret place, this action lowers the resolve of the people you do it too, and can give someone a rather heavy hint not to get in your way too often.

None available.

Action Walkthrough

Depending on who and what you choose as variables to the action, what you see on screen may well differ from my screenshots. This walkthough shows you how the action unfolds - for specific game help and hints about actions see other parts of my site or the manual. The ingame tutorial will also help.

I found this fairly nice place late one evening, and it got me thinking. I haven't given Yuri "I'll take the supersize for an extra $30" Kalinin a good kicking for a while. Let's sort this out right now!
I select my character (in this case a captain who has recently joined my faction), and choose the Assault action.
I pick the victim - it's that yellow-suited prat Yuri again of course.
I need to choose a location near his home - this would be a bad one because there is no secrecy...
... but this one is much better, so I choose it. It's actually gone pretty dark now, although it is lighter than the screenshot makes it out to be, but luckily I have scheduled the action to occour one afternoon later in the week, so we will be able to see that one OK.
Whilst we are waiting for our little rendezvous with Yuri, my character is pretty busy - he has another assault action organised for a guy from the Church of Novistrana who has been claiming in the papers that my faction has been stealing from their collection plate. This won't do.... so I go meet him. Here he is waiting for me.
And here I come.
I speak with him in no uncertain terms.
He's pretty quiet... obviously the little prick has a lot to take in.
The camera pans out - and look who has joined us... my little gang of henchmen. How convenient.
To be fair to him, he knows what is coming and prepares himself for it.
Not for that though...
He stumbles back to his feet
Not for long though!
One last blow...
And he's down.... and I stand over him victorious.
Ahhhh - the old "hand slice across the neck" thing - it gets them worried!
I walk away with my gang and leave him flat out in the park.
Right - enough of that, let's have the same again with Yuri.
I wonder what I said to him to persuade him to come and meet me here in this leafy park?
I bet he is wishing he hadn't have come now though...
"I did what?!"
"No dude! You got it all wrong!"
("Why does this always happen to me?")
Again, my posse turns up to give me a psychological hand.
Yuri gets ready...
Boom!
Crack!
Yeah!
And he's down...
... and out.
I scare him with the old throat slitting movement...
... and scarper.
Yuri gets up after a while and dusts himself down.
Ahhh - he's crying...
... and starts to walk away very dejected.
Let's follow him home. you can see his resolve at rock bottom (again!)
And there he goes back to mum.
