Description
Core Gameplay
  • Roleplay and immersion focused, built around ACE interact and self-interact
  • Run a vehicle checkpoint: inspect documents, frisk suspects, search vehicles for contraband and weapons
  • Call HQ dispatch to run IDs and license plates against wanted/stolen records
  • Request bribes, intimidate, de-escalate, arrest suspect individuals and let cleared ones through
  • Shift-based mission structure: survive your shift and clock out
  • Full gameplay documentation included in the .pbo /docs/ folder
Living AI
  • Deep personality system drives every interaction
  • Dynamic mood and tension simulation. Growing crowds get restless, feed off each other, and a calm checkpoint genuinely settles down
  • Among the populace you may find fake IDs, stolen vehicles, expired papers, wanted drivers, concealed sidearms
  • Language barrier mode garbles speech based on fluency. Play a translator to bridge the gap
  • AI reacts to your body language: raised weapons, aggression, gunfire, and physical force all have impact
  • Drivers approaching the checkpoint look around. Unbagged corpses and wrecks are remembered, bag your dead and clear your lanes
  • Ambient AI clustered around the towns surrounding the checkpoint
Conduct & Consequences
  • Your own side is watching. Rough up friendly patrols, spray your rifle at allies, or leave civilian bodies in the open and friendly squads will visibly escalate, grumbling, then standoff, then open revolt
  • Blue-on-blue incidents give you five minutes to resolve before the mission ends in failure
  • War crimes are not hand-waved; they cascade to neighboring patrols and cannot be undone once a squad turns
Emergent Scenarios
  • Full town environment with shops, prison, impound lot, evidence locker and more
  • Hostile faction attacks and civilian militia uprisings can hit your checkpoint at any time
  • Off-map artillery and mortar strikes: hostile factions insert a 2-man spotter team on a nearby hilltop before calling rounds in. Hunt and eliminate the spotters to abort the fire mission
  • Ranging rounds warn before the real barrage lands, get into overhead cover
  • Cross-faction engagements: two passing enemy factions can turn your CP into a battleground
  • Every vehicle, document, and personality is rolled procedurally – no two shifts are the same
Mission Parameters
  • Operate up to 3 roadblocks simultaneously
  • Choose military or rebel/improvised checkpoint aesthetic
  • Toggle HQ dispatch services (ID checks, plate checks) independently
  • Tune diplomacy between BLUFOR, OPFOR, INDFOR and enable/disable ethnic conflict
  • Fine-grained sliders for contraband, weapon smuggling, stolen vehicles, wanted drivers, expired IDs, attack frequency, artillery strike frequency, civilian non-compliance and more
  • Dynamic weather that evolves over your shift (volatility and transition speed tunable)
  • Game Presets bundle curated settings for quick starts (NATO vs CSAT, USMC vs ChDKZ, NAPA Uprising, Dutchbat 2 Bosnia, and more)
