Adrenaline) levels. With these, you set the degree of an agent’s operational
independence during missions. (For information on the strategic uses of IPA Levels,
see Playing A Mission – IPA Levels.)
Each mission takes place among the canyons of concrete and steel, the mazes of streets
and sewers, that our cities have become. The population goes about its business –
moving among the traffic, commuting on trains, rushing to and from work – unaware
of the violence about to explode around them. Casualties among the good citizens in
most cases bring a swift response from local law enforcement agencies. Equip your
cyborgs with a special pass and the police believe they’re working with the authorities;
they’re free to continue the slaughter unhindered.
There are over 50 named missions for you to choose between, but before you choose
one, you need to develop an overall strategy for world domination. Tactical
considerations vital to the ascendancy of your Syndicate include the maintenance of an
adequate mission Budget, the skills and experience built up in the Cryo Chamber of
potential agents, and developing your own maneuvering skills.
A Syndicate executive must be a master of strategy, assessing a mission environment
and planning agent moves. An executive must also have the reflexes of a steroid-
addicted sprinter and a remorseless lust for power to commit acts of gross violence but
sleep soundly at night.
Still think you’ve got what it takes to make it in the Syndicate?
OBJECT OF THE GAME
The aim of the game is to spread the dark stain of your Syndicate’s color across the
surface of the entire globe.
The world map is divided into various territories. From your home base in Europe
you invade adjacent territories and, through the violent subterfuge of your agents,
wrestle them from rival Syndicates. Having done so, raise taxes on the locals to
increase your profits and punish them for serving the wrong Syndicate.
But raising taxes can make you very unpopular. And furious natives leading popular
rebellions can eat into Syndicate profits. So keep an eye on foreign interests and pick
off troublemakers with your teams of agents.
