hi i just installed urban chaos yesterday and i've only been playing for a few hours.

all looks great and obviously this is a great mod (my first mod).

i have 1 question though, i killed the guys over at the first village and i'm now halfway through calisto. every time i end my turn and opposition has had his turn, i am forced to watch alot of civilians do their thing.

they dont attack me or my opposition, so they are just useless (so far) clutter. Yet they tend to flock around my party, spending their time jumping over objects i'm taking cover behind, like rocks and low walls.

its not that much of a problem, but i have the feeling this is not how its supposed to be, they dont contribute anything (so far) to the battle (neutral), yet they all carry guns. They dont take cover like the civs in ja2 original, but they run around, flocking around me.

I have no real answer to that, but yes I get those anoying civs flocking as well, the risk of having to killing them off too gets even higher when the more of them stand in ya way. I try to move alot around, but as long as they get wasted in enemy fire than my mercs, I manage the cassulties, civs stupid, what can you do, anoying but not youre fault then...

They are Policemen or Gun-runners depending on which Calisto map you are in. They will turn hostile in good time. Generally speaking they should be hostile already... you did loot the cop-shop in A10 right?

Nothing like a grenade or two to help sway their opinion of you:) Follow up with a lot of 9mm and they will no longer flock around you. They might even drop some toys for you:)

I think they turn hostile at night. Or at least they did the last time I played. Surprised the heck out of me.

Yup. On closer inspection, they were policemen.

When hostile, they just act like opponents. But if not provoked (stealing fromt them, being there at night), they all run around you, doing nothing.

Anyway, they lie 6 feet under now Smile

Really enjoying this game so far!! i have 2 cities under control atm, 2 sams and rescued the helicopter dude.

I use alot of the new toons btw -> Ayana, Dr. Q, Jubilee and I.M.P.
