Nation of Snakes -- Counter-Insurgency V6.2

This expansive sandbox simulates a generic counter-insurgency operation in occupied Germany. (alternate history and all that) The battle is not for bridges or beaches, but for the favor, security, and control of the populace.

Currently includes five regular missions, and a tutorial mission, that does load in the menu of the game (editor not needed). Each map/mission presents new terrain, challenges, and special events.

THIS IS A SANDBOX. The enemy combatants, subversives, mines/IEDs, toop morale, special events, side-tasks, the weather, and much more is in the hands of RNG (influenced by various factors, mainly the H&M score). Some of the funnest games go on for 2-3 hours with no clear winner (just like most insurgencies).

Learning counter-insurgency is like learning to eat soup with a knife. Expect to spend your first 5 or so games just learning and exploring. I would recommend sticking with the first regular mission until you are comfortable with the mechanics.

There are a LOT of mechanics to this game and many different ways to fight and win (and lose). Just like real counter-insurgency, it is quite complicated, very difficult, and the enemy gets a vote. Again, RNG ensures that no two playthroughs go the same way, you need to become flexible enough to deal with whatever the game throws at you.

• The in-game tutorial mission will give you the basic need-to-know, IF you pay attention, read the text, and play to completion.
  
• Bloody10th's guide
  
• Hover your mouse over menu items to learn more about them (pause the game if you need to)
  
• Pay attention to your hints (pause and use the hotkey or console button in the lower left if you need to)
  
• Play on easy to make the combat a little more forgiving
  
• Turn off special events to focus on core mechanics
  
• Select a higher starting H&M score to give yourself more wiggle room on early-game mistakes

This is a standalone mod and mission pack for the vanilla game. It does not require, and (to my knowledge) is not compatible with, any other mod or content. It is only compatible with the latest version of MOW:AS2 (to my knowledge)

This mod does include content that will break base-game missions and other content.

Co-op gameplay is available, but experiences may vary and I do not accept bug reports from co-op as I cannot do anything about them. Co-op has different damage rules and easing issues that cause problems and I cannot fix. If I get annoyed enough with bug reports from co-op, I will just remove support for it completely.
