Thanks Rach! You can purchase things from town depots and HQ but I'm planning to add missions like find good stuff here kind of missions, or some loot spots to towns and disable buying from town depots. Sadly, only way to pick your character currently is launching the mission in editor. You can select your character there (you can switch sides too). I skipped that part because it included some FSM scripting. Civilians are abient, but things like civilian resistance in towns or rescue civilian kind of missions can be added. This version is like a large-scale war going between 3 factions. I'll make Namalsk version of this with scarce loot/vehicles, more challenging survival and diffrent types of side missions in some time :D.
Here is a updated mission file:
