Hi everyone! I know you have all been waiting for this for a very long time so I'm super excited to present this update!
Civilians can now defend themselves with firearms!
The population screen now has the following settings:
There is the Armed Chance, which is the percentage of the population that are armed. Underneath is the same kind of stats used for Cops and Military but is exclusive to civilians. I've given them by default a single clip and less accuracy to try and make up for a possible lack of training but the values are changeable to whatever you wish.
With this comes some changes in civilian behaviour. Civilians with firearms will no longer panic unless they are out of ammo and will not flee but attempt to fight the threat. Civilians are capable of picking up ammo but at the moment an unarmed civilian cannot become an armed one. I wish to add this to a future update.
With this simulations have an interesting new dynamic as civilians will be able to survive scenarios on their own without police or military protection. I look forward to hearing what you make of it!
Thanks for playing!
