Syndicate Wars Hints

Mission REF 1: Detroit

  • OBJECTIVE: Seek the members from the Church of the New Epoch and terminate them. Neutralise the Unguided citizens.

    BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
    Agent Maritz from EuroCorp Intelligence reports to you. It seems like Utopia's centre in Detroit has been attacked, and the EuroCorp infrastructure has been compromised. The supreme EuroCorp command is being transferred to the London AI, and you will direct agents to execute missions in order to rebuild Utopia, from scratch if necessary.

    The attack was led by a new group, calling themselves "Church of the New Epoch". They released a virus "HARBINGER", and it's responsible for the rising amount of chip dropouts as it spreads throughout our network. This network guides our C-citizens, and people released from it are seeing the world as it is for the first time, and are therefore willing to join this new "Church".

    MISSION TACTICS:
    Training Mission
    When you are dropped, the destruction of the Detroit AI is already a fact. From your starting point, you can eliminate the three Unguided with your four miniguns. Next, go to the car park to the south. One car contains some more Unguideds. They will step out of the car as you approach it. Kill them with your miniguns.

    Take a car and drive it to the entrance of the Detroit AI. You'll meet many dead EuroCorp agents... time to weep. But not for long, because there are five Epoch agents here. Get out of the car, and shoot them until you have killed one. At this point, the Epoch agents are probably grouped and are attacking you at the same time from the same spot. Use your shields, and run away. Not all of them will follow you. As you go further, stop for a minute and kill the one Epoch agent who is brave enough to follow you. Because they are no longer standing in a group, you can kill the other agents one at the time.

    One of them is carrying a high explosive. Pick it up. Congratulations: you are carrying your first not-researched weapon.

    There's only one Unguided left to kill. She's wandering somewhere in the Detroit City. Take your car to it and kill her. Be careful though not to get too close, because she'll explode as soon as she is dead.

    Back to the IML link, and your second successful (trainer) Mission is a fact.
