Syndicate Wars Hints

Cybernetic Agents

  • There are two types of cybernetic agents: the EuroCorp agent and the Church of the New Epoch agent.

    The EuroCorp Syndicate have been ruling the world for 50 years now, after they were victorious after the great Syndicates battle. (This refers to the original Syndicate Game.) By implanting CHIP technology implanted in every human being, they gained control of all of the world's citizens, and it seemed like they were unbeatable. The Cyborg Agent is the security force for EuroCorp. They are CHIPped, cybernetically enhanced, have no fear, have superhuman reflexes, and they exist only to serve its Executive (that's you behind that keyboard). There are no more then a few hundred EuroCorp agents because they are extremely expensive. They are only used for the most dangerous missions.

    Sure, they were unbeatable... until the Church of the new Epoch arose. Their birth is a mystery, and nothing more can be told. It's an Alpha 1 security threat. They are also called Zealots. They are cloaked in white surplices decorated with religious symbols. They float, because they have some sort of anti-gravitation device.

    STRENGTH:
    These agents (from the enemy side) are your worse nightmare. They also have the latest technology. You'll very often encounter weapons on them that you haven't even researched yet. They'll often attack with 40 at the same time.  And even if they are dead, you still must be aware of the fact that their high explosives could ruin your day.

    The only chance to beat them is to fight them with the latest technology.  And:
    - Research the proper weapons and use them wisely (see the weapon guide)
    - Have enough money to do this research (see money tactics)
    - Know how to defeat their vehicles (see vehicle guide)
    - Have good luck
