Overthrow Features
This is imported from the old wikipedia and merged with new content.
Overthrow is a game about you, a civilian in disguise as a member in an Independent Faction, and your need to Overthrow the occupying forces by any means necessary. This requires you to cooperate with several different factions of OPFOR to procure the means to achieve the goal of uniting your island against BLUFOR.
To take over a town, you need to drop the stability of the town while it's occupied by NATO to 0%. After 0%, a battle might ensue from NATO to reoccupy this town by force. And they will send in oppositions in many forms by SEA, AIR and LAND to defeat visible non civilian forces or whoever is contesting the town's stability. Succeeding in re-capture means the town will be at 50% stability, under NATO control again.
Likewise and vise versa, if you lose the stability of a town, NATO might attempt to recapture it, or at the best scenario, a gang will form around town to contest your local stability and raise the state of Anarchy.
Currently this is the points you can spend to gain stats on your Character Sheet, raised by succeeding in taking over towns, doing missions for factions, and generally being successful.
In terms of Factions (little flags) on the map have reputation for you to gain in order to sell you gear at a better price, or unlock blueprints for the factory.
You gain this by doing their faction-specific missions/jobs.
In terms of towns, you get good reputation by not killing civilians and trading legal goods.
There are currently 3 stats for developer your personal character, these stats may influence how you perform in certain actions.
-
Stamina/Fitness - Governs your run speed and how long you last while running.
-
Trade - Governs both the price of goods you buy/sell and the capability for you to sell in chances of succeeding in negotiation.
-
Stealth - Raises your ability to hide/sneak across a search, or under the watchful eyes of NATO.
This is a public pool of money for all appointed Generals to share, generals are able to withdraw funds that come from taxes, and these funds can be distributed to army upkeep or personal embezzlement. Unfortunately being a General is often a dictatorship, as there are no way for you to control this rank via in game interfaces once you appoint a person as a General.
The first General is whoever starts a new game in the "Host" slot.
By hitting the Y key, you're able to access many context-specific menus by facing or being near or inside of a building/NPC/town/vehicle.
Generally, you're able to travel near private buildings (houses/buildings you erect) and public buildings (capture points of chemical plant/NATO bases or player camps) if you're in a car, or by yourself. There are more specific restrictions listed [here] in server setup.
By walking up to a Civilian, you can hit Y or hold the Ace Interaction button (Windows key) to "Talk" them into recruitment for a small fee. The likeliness of recruitment is based on civilian support for your own faction's reputation in that town.
You are able to use Civilians to loot in an area of 100m (meters) circle, within 10 meters of a designated container. A container could be any vehicle, a box, an ammo container.
-
Select your Civilian with F2-F12 keys
-
Use Middle Mouse Click to designate an area close to the container you're looting to
-
Set the Civilian waypoint near there
-
When your Civilian gets within 10m (meters) of that container, press Y
-
Press Loot
Your Civilian should initiate the looting action of walking back and forth, picking up and equipping gear, and then unequipping gear. This may take some time to clear a large area of bodies...
To buy from an store owner NPCs in person, you must locate them via the (M)ap and hit the Y key when targeting their Pelvis within melee range.
NPCs that trade in person will have a dollar sign icon ($), a cellphone, a cross, a clothing sign, or a bag icon on the (M)ap. There are also hidden NPCs around fuel stations, harbors that will offer you services and vehicles.
Flag icons on the map (small flags) will often by faction leaders within a town, they will offer missions as well as sell you goods.
If there is a hammer and tool sign (hardware store) that is specifically for trading in vehicles because they do not have a NPC.
By being close to a store NPCs or an eligible store, you can press the Y menu to initiate trade.
To sell is the same as buying, walk up to an NPC dictated by their Icon on the (M)ap and click Y to sell. Store owners will only buy goods that are legit and legal. They do not want any trouble starting a revolution.
Works the same way as legit goods go.
If you're in a full vehicle and want to dump it into somewhere...
