I found out while scouting for new farms that most noobs don't have any covert to speak of but had some anticovert. This led me to the conclusion that they think anticovert protects against sabotage.
I know this problem has existed as long as there has been anticovert but I don't see why it shouldn't be fixed. Name it assasination action or something so less kind individuals won't be tempted to sab those just starting out.

Get sabbed once despite their towering AC and they learn the same lesson.
Why rob them of an experience all of us had (well, the ones who did not read Help before playing, anyway)?

i did that when i started, cept i went 50/50 on them so it sorta worked

id say change it, its an unnecesary thing that leads to new people losing all their stuff and quiting

+1 It's an unnecessary risk and simply renaming it won't hurt anyone.

And how will you call having ACed someone, eh?
"assassinated" is untrue; you have not 'assassinated' that person, at most a few simple troops.

"Smiert Spionam" or SS. Brilliant. We do not have enough SS in the game.

You'd might want to change that.

Silence woman! Or I'll fry your circuits!

That sounds like "Don't help them because we didn't get any help!" to me

I'm in favor of changing it. The name does not describe the function.

It is not so much about help, as it is about self-sustaining and independent development (i.e. being able to read).

Agreed (yes, I left my original position earlier).

Seriously, though. If we're talking about young kids playing (this is a "family friendly" game), a lot won't know that the help section is there unless they're told. And what kid looks at the manual before they start playing?

Smart kids.

I think it'd be worth considering. I wonder how many people start playing, build stuff, someone who likes causing trouble goes along and sabs all their weapons, then masses them. Will they stick around? No.

If we loose more players then we gain (current rate of things), the game will eventually die off.

Plenty of adults, myself included never read manuals before trying something, its how we learn from mistakes. Having said that, anticovert is a bad name for that function.

Well it AC does kill your covert....so AC it is.

on ME it is called spy killers... rename it to that?
