Gonad Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I’m not sure about this but it looks to my like there is no need to earn cash in them game from the governments for production and running the bases. AND I LIKE IT.Was one of the things I couldn’t understand while playing the X-com games: There is an alien invasion going on and the governments let rather die their citizens then spending money to the only defence force on earth. Same with the bases: Now if you lose a base you just have to fight it back; X-com: You had to spend a lot of money to keep it running and if it was destroyed it was gone (and the money).Hope I didn’t wrote shit (like I said I was playing just for a few minutes). P.S.: Congratulations to the game developer team: GREAT GAME SO FAR ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 You are absolutely right Gonad! The earth is more or less destroyed, so there are simply no governments left.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonad Posted October 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 YES ! That's what I wanted to hear. No money.Would be a perfect world: No money, everyone helps each other... If there weren't those nasty aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hehe, well, it's kind of like a new beginning. 99% of the earth is dead, so it's a fresh start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Coats Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hmm, whilst part of me agrees with you all, I rather liked the fact that money comes in2 it! Afterall, isnt society ruled by money! While its only a game, having or not having money brought another warfront 2the game that you had to contend with. No money no weapons/equipment/vehicles etc. Although you could actually build them. It would have been nice to actually have different types of wpns etc cheap tanks or variants which you could choose to spend on rather than just a model! If you all disagree just look at the current war/policing in Iraq and it was supposedly an international concern. Oh, well, at least politics is left out of the game. Unlike this post!

Hiccup Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 First I must say that UFO:Aftermath is great game in best tradition of UFO:The Enemy Unknown(or X-COM:Ufo Defense),X-COM:Terror of The Deep but also in tradition of previous altar project Original War.I like all mentioned games very much.I like that no money style too.Its also logical-Earth is amost destroyed(asimilated) and mankind must stay togeder and fight with aliens,not trade with weapons etc.But its wery probable that only alien threat is keeping humans,that are alive, from usage of money.

Ghostrider Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 COOL and everything is A O.K. as VIRGILL I. "Guss" Grissom used to say - Do you know GUZ - he was one of Americas first seven Mercury Astronauts - He died in APOLO 3 capsule fire when testing on a ground ... SO ANYWAY he used to say EVERYTHING is - A O.K. I like it so sometimes I use it too [Read "EJ OUKEJ"] PS>We are little off topic here SO coming back to it - How do you look on AFTERMATH with NOMONEY in it - I think O.K. in postapocalyptic scenario . BTW I have some problems with the AVATAR and personal photo on the boards - and I cannot UPLOAD new ones - If you have time have a look or maybe redirect me somewhere else or to someone who is in charge of this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 I think it is very okay with no money. Never cared much for it... And the avatar/picture issue is something we need to solve. It's connected with the new server I believe... Will talk to Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raion Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Money would be the least of my worries. Surviving would be firstmost!Where does it not say "Screw the money" when faced with a situation like this? Let's charge for that gun, and although I can see that from some people, I think in this type of action and life, the guy be hung up by his feet or something and tickled until giving in -- as in Lethal Weapon Mode. Wanna charge for that gun?Feel better now?Wanna talk to an alien about the money?Uh, uh, uh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Hmmm... let's see... 99% of Earth's population is killed... small pockets of resistance fight the alien invaders... and we're expected to BUY things? You don't need to buy ANYTHING when 99% of the world's population is dead. You just take things from the emptied cities. Sure, you have to work your way around the dead bodes, the odd mutant, and perhaps even a few alien troopers on shore leave, but after you dispatch them, search the area (done automatically in the game, btw) and take what you need and want. Heck, take more than you need... This game is more realistic than would first meet the eye. For anyone that's ever been in a disaster area where everyone just leaves, it's obvious why looting is such a problem. Fortunately, in the game, we can loot all we want; it's how we get by.
