So the repeated Mossad breakins are just because they're a convenient source of computers, right? But wouldn't it be better to break into a criminal organisation in Washington as they might not only have computers but also have a decent chance of being involved and having a bunch more intel?

Those don't reliably appear every case. I seem to always have MI6 and Mossad in Washington, and then two other organizations that vary between cases.

Yeah, I think it just turned out Mossad had a decent layout on the current profile and they have set, always visible office locations in Washington and Tel Aviv, at minimum. MI6 is always going to have an office in Washington as well. Their floor plans/contents get randomly generated when you create a new agent, right?

I just bagged another mastermind and upped the difficulty to Regional as things seemed to be getting pretty humdrum. I dig the increased electronics/crypto/lack of clues difficulty, but the step up in combat is huge. Enemies seem to move at double speed through the building, their quckdraw time is incredibly good, and I think I've ended 3 runs now by eating a stun grenade to the face. I think it's time to make a new character with more points in combat.

I think the lady in the fancy hat leads UnionCorsique, but It's been a while since I played this game. Max's code name should be "Boomerang" because he kept coming back to Washington throughout this last case.

Oh, don't get me wrong, the rest of Regional is just fine. Rolled a new character today with the skill point I had in electronics shifted to boost combat instead, and I got a clean sweep plus the mastermind on my second case. That extra skill point in combat really makes all the difference, without it I can't seem to consistently win a quickdraw against the guards without setting off the alarm. Do you normally wait for them to enter the room before hitting fire, or do you do it by timing and press the button before they appear on screen? Also the second CIA double I got on that case gave me no less than FIVE red herring clues when I accused him, nothing related to the case at all. What an rear end in a top hat.

I'm slowly catching up on your videos, but in the meantime: take that, Regional difficulty! Breaking in and just nicking items from the enemy agents seems to be really powerful, I did it twice in this game once - on the blueprints and once on the alarm bypass so as not to break the plot prematurely, and the extra time it gave me paid off in spades. What really made this one was that I wasn't originally going for the mastermind - at the end of the case a researcher I'd just turned had gone and stolen some blueprints again, so I figured I had about a day or two to do poo poo while I waited for her to reach the trigger where she usually passes them off to the next guy (ending the case as he was arrested). I broke into the local Union Corsique to see if I could dig up the mastermind's location for the next mission and OH SNAP she's in the building. Came back in with the patented CirclMastr mastermind-catching loadout, and had just enough time afterwards to nab the courier, who I was missing any info on whatsoever. I'll have to see if my luck holds... [edit]Not so much. Next mission, I get zero double agents from rotten floor safe luck (in the few buildings that even had them). Arrested like 3 people.

Willie the Pen is actually a notorious international rare animal smuggler. They call him the (Animal)Pen because, well... have you ever seen a man insert a fully grown tiger into his anus and then just stroll through customs? I have, because I saw Willie do it.

This guy's a master forger, he replaced all his blood with ink, so he can do it anywhere, even without writing implements. And he doesn't just forge signatures, he's like a human inkjet printer. I once watched him cut open his palm, wipe it over some blank papers, and produce a flawless set of documents to get through the Berlin Wall, back during the Cold War.

Well, the improbable happened and I think I just had a game where the recruiting info was actually useful. I was after one last person - the thief trying to steal plutonium from a breeder reactor - with absolutely no info or leads on them other than a few names that appeared a bunch of times. Some aggressive googling got me a rank and a note that said one of them was recruited by the organiser I'd arrested previously and sure enough, they turned out to be the thief I was looking for. Was I just lucky here, or was the recruiting info really an indication that this person wasn't a red herring and was actually in on the plot?
