Hammer and Sickle Review: HAMMERTIME!

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Hmm. So any chances of making a mod or total conversion for it are fubar. Guess I'll have to try that with Silent Storm instead.

Thanks baby arm.

I might be wrong because I just noticed this thread over at StrategyCore. Doesn't sound too easy, though. That Novik guy in the thread is the lead designer/programmer for H&S, FYI.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Interesting

Hammer & Sickle is a mod of Silent Storm so you could probably edit it with the SS editor or something like that. I have no idea, I didn't even know SS had an editor.

There's the editor here. There was also an update, but it needed a little more work.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Thanks. It's going to be a while until I can get close to work with either game's editors but it's good to know the options are readily available when I have the time.

 

[Slaughter]

Indeed! Do tell us if you get around to creating something.

Is there a (very) low-spoiler walkthrough somewhere to remedy this ZOMG THE GOALS ARE CONFUSING AND UNCLEAR-issue?

BTW can you buy this game somewhere for a modest price? (swe)

 

[Jason]

Not really sure about a walkthrough, but you might want to dig through the StrategyCore and CDV forums.

The game should be cheap anywhere you can find it. GoGamer? Amazon? EB Games?

To clarify, there's two branch of playing, with one minor branching for failing both.

The minor branch is "World War III! The world is ending in nuclear!" kind of thing. You fail in some way and you get that. this branch got about 3 mission/battlefield then Game end.The sign of this branch is Ruins mission. After Ruins is Swamp, then Bridge. proper advance in game will let you meet jokingly Ruins mission, just to mess with your head, but very late in game.
YOu got WW3 when the tension between USSR and USA become too much (US soldiers killed with USSR weapons left behind, Prison was attacked by troops with USSR weapons, etc etc...). Or because you fail the goals of missions (which then lead to increased tension). Sometimes fail once hadnt doomed you yet. But twice? hah!

Long branch: Choose this branch at various points of the game. Keeping to the logic and your gut's sense will help you follow it. And win the mission, of course.

Alternative branch: Fail some particular missions, fortunately, not lead to WW but to this alternative. Shorter than long branch about 5 missions/battlefields, and somehow not as satisfactory as long branch. It ensure you will replay the game at least once!

There's a plot diagram on Net to describe various branching points in game.

As to walkthrough for both, well, I got two files from some guys. I wondering wherether I keep it like that to post on Gamefaqs (proper credit where it dues, of course) or should I add more of my comments on, since I am not entirely in agreement with their strategy.

EDIT: 2016. My 1st post~ Good going me. Not too embarrassing .

I'l llike to add that the game comes with Starforce, but the nocd crack works, even with the unofficial patch.
