Is there a way to have all of Kingpin's assassins appear at the same time? Would it be through a script change? Or would it need to be hard-coded? Thanks!

As far as I remember encounters with Kingpins assassins are random with only one of them. It would require code changes to alter that.

What silversurfer said. IIRC Kingpin's assassins are also somewhat 'shared' among the cities.
This might be of interest to you if you want more assassins.

I know now that it could never work between us, as much as we wanted to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're black.

If you want, you can donate to me. This will not affect how and what I code, and I will not code specific features in return. I will be thankful though.

Thanks silversurfer & Flugente.

I have fiddled with the Queen's assassins that hide within the militia. But I was considering having Kingpin's hitmen come together as a squad -- because 1 hitman against a squad of mercs isn't much of a fight except for that first surprise round the hitman gets. I thought the case was that they are coded to appear one at a time, but just wanted to make sure. Thanks again.
