NoxNoctum

Yes good point I was looking around some more and saw the die hard mod which looks interesting. I'm having trouble finding any information on it anywhere though. Has anyone played through the game with it? What all does it change? Also are most mods compatible with each other or not? Like the no pk mod for instance with this difficulty mod.

Ah that looks great thanks. Is there a way to change the always able to save thing though? I'd rather not have that. I tried looking into the file but it wasn't something that looked easy to edit (at least not in an obvious way).

I've played S1 through about 4 times and Sentinels once, I'm reinstalling it now yet again having bought it from GoG (thank goodness GOG got it, game was impossible to find anymore), just wondering what are ways to increase difficulty? I was thinking maybe playing no reloads -- i.e. if a soldier dies that's it, but maybe that's too hard? (since luck plays a significant role)

Hey guys I just bought SS a few days ago (I know, a little late to the party )... and I'm loving it so far. Completed three missions so far. Thing is I just heard about these PKs and how they apparentally ruin late game balance. I know there's a mod on this site to remove them though. Can I copy the file that removes them and still continue my campaign or do I have to start over? (I have not even gotten close to the point in the game where the PKs appear) Also... just as while I'm posting. Is Hammer and Sickle worth getting? Although S2 and S3 both got a lot of great reviews, Hammer and Sickle was DESTROYED! Any thoughts as to why? thanks guys. Wish there were more games like this out there... looks like JA3 has gone the way of vaporware unfortunately
