This War of Mine is a survival sim from Polish developer 11 Bit Studios. Civil war has broken out in an eastern European nation called Graznavia between the Grazni-dominated government and a separatist movement led by the country's Vyseni ethnic minority, leading to a siege of the capital city, Pogoren. Amidst shelling and snipers, the civilians of the city are caught up in the damage wrought by the fighting. Unable to flee due to the siege, as potential targets for trigger-happy fighters on either side, they must scavenge for food and medicine to survive the twisted hell that the city has become.The game is available on GOG.com and Steam.As of April 28, 2015, the game was updated with a custom scenario editor and a custom survivor creator.An expansion called This War of Mine: The Little Ones was released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 29th, 2016. It allows players to include children as part of the survivors, and revolves around the challenges and difficulties children and their carers face during wartime. It was later released on PC and Mac on June 1st 2016. On November 15th 2017, This War of Mine: Stories was released, featuring Father's Promise, the first of three planned DLCs with a heavier emphasis on storyline. A Complete Edition containing all the DLC was released for Nintendo Switch in November 2018.In 2016, a boardgame version of the game was crowdfunded on Kickstarter by Awaken Realms. The game has been since delivered to backers and has gone to retail. | |

Stopped Caring: Make a survivor experience enough mood-reducing events, and they'll eventually be so traumatized that it's extremely hard for their mood to shift further. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: More like everyone will die, even if you do not take risks, and especially if they do. Your scavenging specialist might get a face full of buckshot just for showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Alternatively, you can stab an old couple to death, become suicidal, and kill yourself the next day. Even the weather is trying to kill you. | |

Shop Fodder: Jewelry, which is useless aside from bartering for things you can actually use. If you get the Port as a scavenging location, jewelry can also be used to pay for passage out of the city. | |

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_15264ac9 | comment |
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: In the Park, a pair of children asks you for help with a scary man up ahead, who will threaten your scavenger until he eventually loses his patience and attacks. Normally, one would deal with him by killing him (which counts as murder) or by attacking him until he gives up, but it's possible to intimidate him by pulling out a weapon. Only being armed with a knife, he'll eventually opt to flee. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Most of the difficulty depends on how much stuff you can bring back to the shelter. Starting with characters that have small backpacks really makes it hard to decide on what to scavenge and how it should best be used. That said, the early game is rarely impossible to survive. Your characters start fed, healthy or occasionally slightly sick or slightly wounded. There are relatively rich and risk-free pickings available in early game (including some in your house). The trick is to use early game effectively to prepare you for mid and late game when you get hit by resource shortage in the relatively safe locations, crime spree, winter and sickness. Special mention, Marin / Boris / Emilia: “You have both the best builder, and the best carrier on your team. Surpise! We’re starting you in the middle of winter with an un-upgraded heater. Shelter raids start on day 2.” Emilia makes for a terrible guard, because the game knows you want Marin to sleep and Boris to scavenge at night. There are other winter-starting scenarios with Marin / Katia / Arica and Arica / Henrik / Ivano, which follow the same dangers of an early winter. | |

Terrible Trio | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_17330d6c | comment |
Terrible Trio: Arica / Roman / Bruno. Out of the three, only Arica has a relatively high moral compass (and even then, it's only because she's not The Cynic). Given that all three of these survivors have the relatively small backpack size of 10, stealing and killing becomes a bit more viable than straight scavenging. | |

Four-Philosophy Ensemble: This actually becomes a gameplay mechanic when it comes to emotion levels; The Optimist is much more eligible for mood swings than The Cynic, and the more emotional characters are better at curing depression. The Realist: Marko, Pavle, Katia, Christo, Henrik, Forester, Photographer The Cynic: Roman, Bruno, Emilia, Computer Expert, Insurance Agent The Optimist: Zlata, Boris, Livia, Cveta, Psychologist The Apathetic: Marin, Arica, Anton, Irina, Police Officer, Pharmacist | |

Multiple Endings | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: The epilogue is determined by several factors such as the condition of your survivors and their actions. Good: Happens when a survivor sees the end of the war with a lot of good karma. Mixed: Happens when a survivor sees the end of the war with insufficient good karma. Rejected: Happens when a survivor asks to join your party but is turned away. Being forced to fend for themselves will always result an uncertain fate. Ran Away: Happens when a survivor leaves the shelter after being mistreated for too long. Running away doesn't always end well for them. Bad: Happens when a survivor sees the end of the war with too much negative karma. Died: Happens when a survivor gets killed or succumbs to wounds, disease, starvation, and hypothermia. Suicide: Happens when a survivor does not get consolation after a mental breakdown. There's an additional factor in the form of leaving the city by boat, which involves a visit to the Port and paying off the captain's fee. The ending is treated similarly to if the war ends with a few adjusted words for each ending. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_1d18887f | comment |
Pay Evil unto Evil: Opportunities abound. Repeatedly stabbing or shooting the rapist at the Supermarket, even as he begs for his life. Going out of your way to track down and chop up the snipers in the Construction Projects, after said snipers have spent the war murdering every civilian they see. Shooting every stinking thug in the Brothel, even after they try running away. Slaying all the kidnappers at the Hotel before rescuing their hostage. Turning the tables on the bandit raiders in the Bakery before they manage to get the jump on the Bakery's owners. Killing the two thugs at the Brewery who are about to beat up a woman. | |

Utility Weapon | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_21e1a8e3 | comment |
Utility Weapon: The majority of your melee weapons are tools - the crowbar can slowly and loudly open locks, the shovel speeds up digging, the pick is needed to dig through hard rubble, and the hatchet can be used to chop up furniture for wood and fuel. | |

Shoot the Dog | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_2737c505 | comment |
Adam chews out the hospital staff in his diary if you oppose their decision to keep Amelia's hoodie, especially since their argument for doing so applies just as much, if not more, to Adam's situation. Subverted if you return to the hospital afterwards, as that choice can lead to someone else's death and Adam will ask himself if he was responsible. On top of that, Amelia doesn't need the hoodie anymore, so if you take it back, the other woman dies for nothing. | |

Refining Resources | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_2902d216 | comment |
Refining Resources: A core part of the Item Crafting system. For example, food can be eaten raw, but if combined with water and fuel at a stove it will satisfy more hunger, thus stretching the food supplies a little, and adding vegetables to the mix will enhance this further. Many other basic resources can be combined (with the right tools) to produce more advanced resources that have more utility and value. | |

Ashamed of the fact that he failed to protect his daughters and feeling no positivity from killing the looters, he buried his pistol and decided to disappear without a trace after realizing that he became a monster. | |

Half-Truth: Don't expect much when you go to a location with "Lots of Food"; you'll only find enough ingredients to last at least 1-3 meals. The percentage indicator of an area shows you how much stuff is left there to scavenge. Locations that are not 100% percent cleaned-out but no longer have any food, materials, weapons, medicine, or parts, will only have Wood, Basic Components, Coffee, Herbs, Tobacco, Cigarettes, and Alcohol which are not counted as important materials that are necessary for survival. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: One of the hobos in the Shelled School extorts Adam in exchange for information about where he's seen Amelia. The military, believing the City Hospital to be a rebel front, kidnaps Dr. Jefimow (the only doctor in the hospital) and subjects him to "enhanced interrogation". One of the soldiers even tells the interrogator to "have fun" when he returns after a break. The one-armed man in the hospital also claims to have been tortured. Believing that the rebels are escaping the siege via the humanitarian corridor, the military massacres a large gathering of civilians. You can find a letter implying that the humanitarian corridor was opened primarily as bait for the rebels. While it doesn't justify their actions, if the military is right about what the rebels did, this would also be a dog-kicking moment for the rebels. Predictably, the military certainly don't keep their end of the bargain if the Vyseni painting is given to Colonel Markov. | |

Sex Slave: The women in the brothel are actually unhappy volunteers who are forced to do favors that they didn't agree to. They have no choice but to put up with the degradation or else they won't have any protection or a reliable source of food and medicine. If you needed a good reason to rob and kill the men there instead of trading with them, this is it. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: If you draw certain Events at the wrong time, the game might become suddenly impossible to win (you can still finish it, but since you cannot meet the victory condition, you would need some reason other than winning to keep playing). For example, one of the scenarios requires all the four starting characters to survive; drawing Rats on the first turn will result in a 75% change of at least one of them dying of starvationnote All characters start with Hunger 2; having no food to eat will automatically raise that to 3 at the end of the day. Since you start the scenario with only two units of water, and you cannot get more during the day, at least two of said starving characters will have to go without. A character who doesn't drink has a 50% change of increasing their Hunger by 1, and since Hunger 4 means death..., therefore making the whole scenario unwinnable. | |

Ability Required to Proceed | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_3f2503af | comment |
Ability Required to Proceed: Sometimes getting into the right places requires the right tools, like a lockpick or pry-bar to bypass locked doors or open locked cabinets, or a saw to cut through iron bars. Other tools, like a shovel, are not required to bypass things like fallen rubble blocking a corridor, but can greatly expedite the process of clearing it, which is important because time is finite. | |

Resources Management Gameplay | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_40b1b989 | comment |
Resources Management Gameplay: A huge weight on the player is almost perpetually never having enough to feel comfortable. Food is always in short supply, and often so is water. Basic construction materials are hard to get enough of and there is always some small demand for them that makes stockpiling enough of them for major upgrades difficult. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Both endings of The Last Broadcast. Telling the truth means Malik gets shot to death by army grunts and Adem wishes to repair his equipment and carry on his legacy. Bending the truth results in Malik getting kidnapped, then defecting willingly out of disappointment from Esma, and Esma hoping to apologize for lying. In either case, Malik doesn't stick around. Mildly done in Fading Embers, as long as the survivors give Taras the ledger. Anja, Zoran, and Ruben if he sticks around survive and the museum's collection is protected, but Melina pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to distract the Grazni army. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: After killing a guard in a bandit hideout or at the Military Outpost, if you come back the next night, the remaining people don't put up extra security of any sort. Especially noticeable with the Military Outpost, which only has one entrance; and after killing the two guards at the entrance, no one else in the outpost will take his position. | |

Two Dun It: Adam's flashback shows him bringing Amelia to the Pharmacy and ransacking it, but doesn't show him murdering his brother or going to the Shelled School. Hence, it is sheer coincidence that following the blood trail from the Pharmacy leads you to clues about where Amelia was taken afterwards, as it turns out to be unlikely that these things were done by the same person. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: The military really has no qualms about hurting children. You can find a message in a desk from a student saying that one of his classmates got shot by a sniper. The City Hospital has a log jotting down their patients, their sectors, and the casualties from bombings. The children's wing got hit the hardest. Cveta's character log mentions that her school was targeted and shelled. During the day log, you can discover raiders have wounded your child while trying to take your stuff. | |

Infinity -1 Sword | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_480c69ba | comment |
Infinity -1 Sword: The Scoped Rifle is one of the more ammo-efficient firearms in the game due to its heavy damage, cover penetration, great accuracy, and long range. The catch is that you can only find them on Snipers or in the Military Outpost, and at close range, it doesn't do much damage at all. The standard assault rifle also qualifies, as it has decent range, and a single burst, especially with an above-average fighter, will usually kill the enemy or make them surrender. The only downside, however, is that it expends 3 bullets for each attack, making it rather costly to use. | |

Always Chaotic Evil: The Last Broadcast subverts this, as you can overhear a couple of soldiers mutter how they just want to be done with the war and go home. These two — the guy at the gas station and one of the soldiers in the central square — will almost certainly die as a result of your actions. | |

| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_51beab21 | comment |
Good Old Fisticuffs: If a survivor has no other weapons on him/her, the survivor can resort to using fists. However, fists are by far the weakest way to fight, rarely succeeding when performing stealth kills and almost always losing a struggle if the opponent is armed with an actual weapon. Roman is actually capable of beating someone to death if he attacks while hiding. | |

Action Survivor | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_53407671 | comment |
Action Survivor: Most of the survivors are this, at best. note Your survivors are randomly generated from a pool of 12; only one of these has some direct combat experience (and he unfortunately goes a little Ax-Crazy on his roommates when depressed), and only three more have abilities even remotely related to combat (sheer strength, stealth, and speed, respectively). Even at their best they are mostly working with Improvised Weapons and just as frail as anyone else. Special mention goes to Anton note A mathematics professor, Cvetanote A school principal, Zlatanote A music student and Pavlenote A former football star as the game specifically says they don't have the skills needed to survive a war. | |

Snow Means Death: It gets a lot colder in winter, and if you don't have proper heating your survivors will get sick a lot more easily. The snow can be somewhat useful, as there is an unlimited supply of it right outside your shelter that can be boiled for water, so long as you have the fuel and filters for it; without snow, you need a rainwater collector and filters to do so. | |

Back Stab: This is a very crucial attack for dealing with gun-armed hostiles. However, only a few characters can instantly kill with a back stab without alerting nearby guards. It can be performed by getting close enough behind the target or waiting for them to get near a hiding spot you've entered. Can be performed with a knife or hatchet, and a few characters can perform it with the shovel and crowbar as well. | |

Save Scumming | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f | comment |
Save Scumming: The game has only one save file which is automatically overwritten after every night. However, exiting and reloading the game prior to the save point will reset any random encounters and any actions to the point of the previous save. For instance, Franko's inventory is decided when he arrive at your door, instead of the start of day. If Franko does not sell anything useful for you, you can reload to randomize his inventory. And as mentioned, daylight random events can be reset as well; sometimes you can get Blago or Zyhu on the same day. In addition, extra survivors who join your cause are also randomized, so if you get Cveta, you can reset the day and try again. In addition, provided that temperatures are stable, one could save scum any sickness that might start up in a survivor away. | |

Dump Stat | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: There's combat ability, backpack size, movement speed, and empathy as primary character stats. Needless to say, empathy is often seen as the Dump Stat, since it doesn't take much to improve survivors' morale, or it's more prudent to steal with a lower empathy stat. While these individual stats cannot be modified, it does put a number of characters focused on One Stat to Rule Them All (such as Marko and Roman) in the top tier. Only one survivor with a high empathy stat, Boris, is immensely useful (while Zlata is average, Livia is poor, and Cveta is low-tier. | |

Robbing the Dead | |

Robbing the Dead: Any NPC killed is lootable, often yielding nice weapons or precious items. You can also loot the dead body of one of your own survivors should you revisit the location that they were killed at. Note that NPCs that are killed must be looted immediately as their bodies and items will vanish by the next day. | |

Permanently Missable Content | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_6602cad | comment |
Permanently Missable Content: A dead NPC will disappear along with all the items they were carrying. This is especially important if the person you killed is a guard and you were chased off by another one that was alerted by the killing: You lost a good opportunity to get a weapon, ammunition, and probably some body armor. You can prevent this by taking all of the belongings or transferring them to a stash for later retrieval. If several weeks pass before you visit a location or in between visits, you may notice that some loot may be missing. Other scavengers are implicitly visiting your same spots, so unless you pick the place clean, some goods may be lost if you wait long enough. This often happens during the material crisis. | |

Pre-War Civilian Career: Every character has a backstory and, with the exception of Roman, a former militia soldier, none has any combat experience, such as Anton, a mathematician; Cveta, a school principal; Marko, a fireman; Marin, a handyman and workshop owner; Katia, a reporter; Pavle, a star soccer player; Zlata, a musician; Emilia, a lawyer; Bruno, a cook with a TV show; Irina, a gardener; Boris, a warehouse stock boy; and Arica, a cat burglar. Some have improved abilities, such as using less resources to craft food or items, greater stamina and carrying capacity, extracting better deals, better stealth, and so on. | |

Treasure Room | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_6ca84a8f | comment |
Treasure Room: Evil locations such as the Military Outpost, Warehouse, Brothel, and kidnapper Hotel are all heavily guarded places that have the food and materials that you desperately need to survive. You can either sneak around carefully or just barge in, with armor and an assault rifle, and kill all the guards to make future scavenging trips completely safe. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: One of the game's achievements, Street Art, requires the player to seek out and stand near 10 graffiti images located on 10 different locations. Some graffiti are not easily visible, requiring careful eyes, though the achievement description is devoid of any hints, leaving it to luck your first time. The game has no tutorial, leaving players to scramble on what to do and how to do it. There's some icons to guide you, but the rest relies on your instinct. Arguably justified, as it simulates how normal civilians are suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar situation and expected to make a mad scramble just to survive. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Different types of tokens have different (dominant) colors: food and other "organic" stuff such as cigarettes and sugar are green, chemicals and medicines are yellow, crafting materials and tools are grey, and anything related to weapons is red. Also, character cards can either have a red or a black border; the first one denotes a more capable survivor, while the latter denotes the more "common" people. | |

Technical Pacifist: Optimists like Boris abhor taking lives, and the player can invoke this by bringing enemies into critical health but refraining from dealing the final blow.

Not Quite the Right Thing | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_7a19a69b | comment |
Not Quite the Right Thing: The Graznavian government agrees to open a humanitarian corridor so that the seriously wounded and parents with children can leave Pogoren. As several notes and dialogues attest, this leads to a rash of civilians and rebels kidnapping children (or seriously considering it) so that they can pass as parents and escape. Subverted if you believe that the humanitarian corridor was a set-up from the start, which would make this part of the intended outcome. | |

Optional Stealth | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_80580ffe | comment |
Optional Stealth: Locations that features guards or outright malicious NPCs may require stealth and careful planning if one intends to steal without having to resort to head-to-head combat. With the right gear, fighting your way through is possible, but killing often incurs morale penalties and having an entire house of armed men swarm you at the sound of gunfire is not always the best idea. | |

Cap | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_834427cd | comment |
Cap: Inventory type: each character can only carry so-much at once, and some can carry more than others. This is important when scavenging, as the player will need to make some hard decisions about what tools and weapons s/he brings, and what to pick up. Fortunately, the Player Headquarters has no such limit, making bartering at the HQ, for cheap but bulky supplies using expensive but small items earlier scavenged, a very useful approach. | |

Random Number God | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_869ffa6b | comment |
Random Number God: Every game is a new experience because many of the things are randomly generated. Your starting characters are randomly chosen which, depending on their skills, will make the early days easy or hard. Patch 1.2 (December 2014) has removed this with a character selection screen, though a "random" option still remains as a possibility and is mandatory on the first playthrough. Patch 1.3 brings the possibility of your team consisting of just Marko. In certain scenarios, you'll start the game in winter which means your characters will start succumbing to hypothermia-induced sickness. Thankfully, your shelter already has a heater, but it's a hard struggle to find lots of wood and to balance it among keeping the heater on, building things, and reinforcing the shelter. It's an even harder struggle to upgrade the heater to provide more heat for less fuel. It is also possible for an outbreak of crime to occur as early as your first week, forcing you to have to survive nightly raids while you're still trying to craft kitchen knives for defense. The infamous material crisis may occur as soon as day one. This means that there will be no materials (components and wood) appearing in junk piles, which is very bad when it comes to crafting essential stations and items. Locations will become inaccessible on certain nights due to heavy fighting. And some locations are inaccessible if another location is revealed (i.e. Central Market and Sniper Junction. Only one of these two will appear and the other will not per game). Some locations have more than one event that will happen and only one event happens per game. One example is the Supermarket: you either get the rapist scenario, or the three-man scenario. One is difficult but if done correctly, will reap the best rewards. The other one is an easy scenario, only that it's a race against the clock to stop them from looting your precious loot. There's always a probability of your shelter being attacked by other people during the night. When it does get attacked, the outcome is calculated by this formula (Shelter security + number of people on guard + weapons available / quality and quantity of attackers). Also, the probability and severity of an attack is low at the beginning of the game but as you get into the mid to late stages of the siege, potential attacks on your shelter will get more frequent and more dangerous. This problem is further exacerbated by random outbreaks of crime where the likelihood of attack is significantly increased for a few days. Fighting is considered a last resort because the combat system is determined by whatever numbers are rolled on an attack action. In every playthrough, at least one character will be either sick or wounded and require nursing back to health. Often, there will be one of each. There are three variations of the Hotel: One description has the place inhabited by a friendly trader, the other has it inhabited by a group of sadistic kidnappers, and the last one has it as the hiding place of an insane conspiracy theorist. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: The conflict between the Vysena separatist rebels and the Graznavia military. The rebels' refusal to surrender is what is causing the city to go under siege and the suffering of the civilians, and they seem reluctant to share their supplies with the civilians, only bartering with them at best. However they refuse to attack civilians when they are running low on supplies and are miles better than the military, whose snipers shoot civilians indiscriminately, regularly commit atrocities towards them as well and are the ones maintaining the blockade around the city. | |

Asshole Victim: Certain survivors will have this reaction if one of them kills a bandit or a military sniper that had been killing civilians while scavenging... however some other survivors will worry that they aren't so different. Counterpointed with soldiers that did not commit any atrocities. While some survivors will show positive reactions to any soldiers being killed, others will question if the soldier truly deserved it or if he had been drafted against his will. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: An easy method of dealing with evil and armed hostiles is to have them chase after you and lure them towards a hiding spot. If you're careful enough to get them to lose sight of you before you hide, they'll pass by your last known location and set themselves up for a deadly back stab. In a lot of cases, if you have the assault rifle, all you need to do is take up a defensible position where you can only be approached from one direction, and start shooting. The mooks will run into your bullets. They might even all take the same path, turning their team into a conga-line of death. Ladders and staircases make effective choke points. | |

If you go to the supermarket, you might encounter a soldier attempting to rape a woman. He'll certainly have a better weapon than you at this point, but if you intervene anyway and successfully kill him then you get an assault rifle (a very powerful weapon), 20 bullets, Moonshine (a great trading item), the ability to loot the store unimpeded, and a morale boost for most or all of your survivors.

Crocodile Tears | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_9b5a308c | comment |
Crocodile Tears: When injured enough, an enemy will beg the player not to finish the job. When it comes to bandits and soldiers, sparing them will always bite the player in the ass later on, whether it be rejoining the fight or alerting other enemies, and they won't hesitate to counterattack melee attacks. It's best to shoot them in the face. | |

An Interior Designer Is You: You can craft makeshift furniture for your shelter, which besides any aesthetic appeal has plenty of uses. Survivors need beds to rest in, chairs for sitting, barricades for patching holes in walls, and various work benches and resource generators. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: For A Father's Promise, A homeless woman in the shelled school gets angry at Adam for reminding her about losing her son, because she just wants to forget what happened. For The Last Broadcast, somebody visits Esma and Malik's shelter warning them that broadcasting too much vigilante messages may attract the ire of the military, and unlike the base game, they won't sit idly by. For Fading Embers, Colonel Markov makes a visit to the museum and asks for its most prized painting in exchange for letting them leave the city. He also informs them that the army really is targeting the museum with artillery, and his threats aren't empty. | |

One-Man Army | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_9e943076 | comment |
One-Man Army: Given that only one person can scavenge at a time, any of the survivors can be this, as any could clear small groups in one night. Typically, this is attributed to Roman and Police officer for their combat proficiency, Boris for his health pool and strength, and Aria for her stealth. | |

Non-Lethal Warfare | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_9fb11776 | comment |
Non-Lethal Warfare: Can be a viable strategy in neutralizing threats while avoiding a morale penalty. One can weaken a hostile person with the likes of pistol shots until they stop and beg for mercy. This is actually encouraged in the Park, where two children need to get home but there's a scary, hostile man in the way. Weakening him enough will send him running and allow the children to escape, but killing him will scare the children outright and is considered murdering a civilian. | |

Digital Piracy Is Okay: Naturally, this game was pirated.

Enemy Chatter: Most NPCs you encounter when scavenging have dialogue. Bandits and soldiers will talk about the evil things they've done, while other NPCs just reveal how well (or not) they're holding up. Dialogue can also telegraph patrol paths. | |

One-Hit Kill: Attacking a person from behind or from a hiding spot with a melee weapon can immediately end the victim's life, though it's not always guaranteed. Arica, Roman, and Boris are special in that whenever they attack from the rear with any melee weapons, it's a guaranteed kill. | |

Due to the Dead | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: One of your neighbors can ask you to help bury her husband, despite the fact that mourners are sniper bait. This is treated as a good act and will appear in the epilogue (though getting to this event means not helping the husband and wife duo earlier on, which is a bad act). On your first visit to the Looted Gas Station, you can find the body of a man who was killed when the station was shelled. Visit again and you'll run into another man standing over a fresh grave. | |

Sliding Scale of Unavoidable vs. Unforgivable | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_a7e85c0a | comment |
Sliding Scale of Unavoidable vs. Unforgivable: The game can easily turn into this, depending on your starting team. In particular: Zlata/Emilia/Kalina (two Mama Bears and a child). This team has no good fighters, no good scavengers, and a child whose health is going to go into a downward spiral by about day four. High carrying-capacity teams let you get away with collecting tons of materials. High combat ability teams allow you to prey on bandits, and their ludicrous stashes. The Zlata/Emilia/Kalina team pretty much forces you to target other survivor groups. Exploiting the Red Oni, Blue Oni dynamic, you can have Emilia do the stuff that would normally bring other teams close to the Despair Event Horizon, while Zlata can push the team back from the brink. | |

Mood Dissonance | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_a7f4710f | comment |
Mood Dissonance: The weather report on the radio typically sounds upbeat. For instance, if the weather's warm, that radio station will tell listeners that it's 'a perfect day for a walk in a park!' Given that the radio often mentions Pogoren as an aside, it's fairly clear that the broadcaster is not local and is unaware of the extent of how bad things are within the city. | |

Harmful to Minors | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_abc60c5d | comment |
Harmful to Minors: Defied as much as possible. The survivors let the children know about the situation, why going outside is dangerous and they teach them things such as cooking or crafting simple items, but they will never let a child scavenge or guard the fort. The survivors do as much as they can to keep the children safe and innocent as the war rages on, but there is only so much they can do against sickness, raids and death. | |

What You Are in the Dark | |

What You Are in the Dark: How far will YOU go to make sure you have food for the day? However, even this trope is played with. The Karma Meter only affects the writing in the ending, but because Good Feels Good, being a murderous jerkbag and just taking what you want from innocent people makes your survivors judge themselves. Too much guilt and psychological trauma damages their performance. | |

Inventory Management Puzzle | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_afd68598 | comment |
Inventory Management Puzzle: Characters out scavenging have to deal with their inventory cap, and juggle what they bring with them and what they try to take back. While all items only take up one "slot" in the inventory, bulkier items have lower quantities that can "stack" in a single slot. For example, a character can carry ten sugar cubes in one slot, but only two wooden boards in the same amount of space. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: Certain survivors delve into this, judging certain actions differently depending on whether they're the one who had to do it. For example, Bruno is generally a callous and morally indifferent type who doesn't mind if his fellow survivors commit morally dubious acts, reasoning that they need to put their own survival first. If he has to commit a morally dubious act himself, however, he feels guilty and becomes deeply depressed. On the other end of the spectrum, Boris is a gentle and kindhearted sort who gets upset any time his fellow survivors kill people while scavenging, regardless of the circumstances. When he's the one in the field, however, he's able to see the reality of the situation and can cope with killing someone, though only if it's for a very good reason. | |

Mundane Luxury | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_b66699a2 | comment |
Mundane Luxury: In this setting, any luxury counts. A cigarette, even a crude home-rolled one out of inferior herbs, can make a huge difference in the mood of a character (if a smoker). Same goes for a pot of coffee, or home-distilled booze, listening to a guitar, or even just sitting in a relatively comfy chair to read a book. In addition to improving character's moods, these items have substantial trade value and securing them gives the opportunity to barter for other things. | |

Acceptable Breaks from Reality | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b | comment |
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Quite a few for playability purposes. Healing wounds is frustratingly slow by video game standards, but much, much faster than real life. Carrying capacity is impressive and even a full load doesn't seem to slow you down. Franko the merchant can carry many ordinary humans' load worth on his person. All resources are abstracted, for instance all medicine works against all sicknesses and all ammunition works for all guns. Some forms of resource production, particularly plants, is ridiculously fast, you can grow vegetables in 72 hours. You do not have to worry about hygiene, using the bathroom or laundry. Eating a full, cooked meal will sustain you for up to two days. Despite the fact that the base has a stove and not central heating, the heat from the stove is perfectly evenly distributed in the house; so you basically have one temperature indoors and one outdoors. All this is acceptable, as adding realism in these matters would make the game a lot less enjoyable. | |

Short-Range Shotgun | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_bcf69f60 | comment |
Short-Range Shotgun: The shotgun is a superior replacement for the handgun as it uses one bullet per firing and is deadly at point-blank. The catch is that it has the slowest rate of fire and does scratch damage from long range. Expert players have found that the hatchet+shotgun combination is very good as it lets you safely finish off an armed enemy that doesn't die from a vicious axing but gets knocked too far away from you to quickly follow up with another melee attack. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: The boardgame is even harsher and less forgiving than the videogame. Random events will hit you hard, your characters need both food and water to survive, conditions such as hunger and disease are severely crippling (also, you cannot "sleep off" light wounds or slight sickness, which the videogame allows you to do), and die rolls govern the outcome of most of your actions. Several people, including notable boardgame reviewer Tom Vasel, expressed doubts on whether it's actually possible to win the game. | |

Broken Bridge | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_c5f23623 | comment |
Broken Bridge: While someone can be sent out to scavenge nightly, not every place is accessible all the time, as the intensity of the fighting shifts around town; and some places get blocked off due to combat. The survivors have to do what they can to find other sources for salvaging during this time. Even winter can complicate things by isolating areas with heavy snowfall. | |

Shout-Out | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The neighbor Valter, who asks you to help steal from a supply drop before the military or the rebels reach it, is likely named after the popular Yugoslav war movie Walter Defends Sarajevo, especially since it is set in the same city that Pogoren is based on (Sarajevo) and involves stealing supplies from the military. | |

Armies Are Evil | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_c9aea8c8 | comment |
Armies Are Evil: While individual exceptions exist, identifiable combatants should be assumed dangerous and best avoided, if only because they are well-armed, because in the middle of a civil-war battlefield identifying Friend or Foe? is difficult, and because trigger-fingers get itchy under that kind of anxiety. The fact this is the fighting they are part of, regardless of how justified, is why the civilians are having such a hard time sympathizing with them. Absolutely no soldier in this game is sympathetic, however. | |

An Entrepreneur Is You | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_cbfb0dca | comment |
An Entrepreneur Is You: Another survivor will occasionally pay a visit to your shelter to barter, and at night you can visit some places where you can swap items with other nominally friendly survivors. For this reason, it is often a good idea to produce items with strong trade value, even if other things are more needed, because it will allow exchanging something the shelter survivors can produce but do not need with something they cannot produce and do need. Also, once various workshops are built, certain raw resources become much more valuable to salvage; one can even buy, for example, raw tobacco or sugar off traders to convert into cigarettes or moonshine to profit on the next trade. Just don't expect a large mark-up without Katia/the Insurance Agent (better bargaining), Bruno (moonshine with less resources), Marin (makes many things with less resources), the Pharmacist (medicine with less resources), Henrik (cigarettes in greater numbers), or the right buyer. Sometimes you can end up selling a product at a price lower than what it cost you to buy the ingredients. | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Played with in one of the potential endings of Fading Embers. The protagonists are just as distrustful of Colonel Markov should they hand over the painting to him to secure an exist, and rightfully so. Should you do this without making the deal with Taras, whose ending overrides this one, Anja, Zoran, Melina, and Ruben if he's in your party head to the army checkpoint, and Melina distracts Markov long enough for the rest of the party to make their escape, but not without getting gunned down by Markov. In the end, Markov is as much of a scumbag as the player would suspect, but handing over the painting does, in fact, affect the ending of the story, contrary to what most players might believe. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Adam chews out the hospital staff in his diary if you oppose their decision to keep Amelia's hoodie, especially since their argument for doing so applies just as much, if not more, to Adam's situation. Subverted if you return to the hospital afterwards, as that choice can lead to someone else's death and Adam will ask himself if he was responsible. On top of that, Amelia doesn't need the hoodie anymore, so if you take it back, the other woman dies for nothing. If you choose to lie in The Last Broadcast, Malik chooses to stay with the rebels and is furious with Esma for not telling him the whole truth. Ruben isn't too happy if the Zohar is sold off to the people at the rail yard to secure an exit out of the city for the sake of some orphans. So much that he leaves the party permanently. | |

| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_dce448d | comment |
Reduced to Ratburgers: Quite literally, the player can build and set out traps for small animals, usually rats, to be used as food. However, they require bait that could also be used to get food, and they have an unpredictable time to catch anything. Often several traps would be ideal, but that requires ever more resources to build them, turning even this into a difficulty. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |

Despair Event Horizon: Having to watch a survivor waste away from illness and/or injury and not having any medical supplies to help them will really drag down the rest of your party's morale. And the moment they die is usually the same moment where the others become emotionally broken. The only person who can be the least affected by this is the one who goes out on scavenging duty. | |

Artificial Brilliance | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_df11acbe | comment |
Artificial Brilliance Patrol routines will get more complicated if you get caught sneaking around but manage to escape. An example of this is the Warehouse: the first looter you see will start patrolling the basement which he never does on your first visit. Guards will also spend less time standing idle, making it more dangerous to sneak through their routes. People will start to get suspicious if they see too many opened doors or hear too many strange sounds. They will eventually become alarmed at your presence if you keep being careless. | |

Karmic Jackpot | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_e3a7d2e6 | comment |
Karmic Jackpot: If you go to the supermarket, you might encounter a soldier attempting to rape a woman. He'll certainly have a better weapon than you at this point, but if you intervene anyway and successfully kill him then you get an assault rifle (a very powerful weapon), 20 bullets, Moonshine (a great trading item), the ability to loot the store unimpeded, and a morale boost for most or all of your survivors. See Disk One Nuke above. Clearing "Evil" locations of inhabitants results in practically no morale penalties and allows one to loot the entire map without consequences. They tend to have tons of supplies just ripe for the picking. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The developers interviewed survivors of the 4-year-long Siege of Sarajevo to inform gameplay, even though the game itself is in a semi-generic setting. If you followed the siege of Sarajevo on the news you might recognize such things as "sniper alley", more-or-less constant shelling, Bruno having a very hard time imagining that a brutal civil war could happen anywhere but in third world countries and Pavle's comment on despite everything, women are still making an effort to look good. Also like Bosnian Moslems and Serbs there is very little real difference between the supposedly ethnic sides Vyseni and Grazni, they all speak the same language and do not seem particularly religious. | |

The Load: Cveta comes back with a vengeance.

Among the "black" characters, she's definitely the least useful. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Your scavenger can be this if s/he manages to rescue any civilians who are in danger from bandits or soldiers while out on their runs. Survivors that arrive at your shelter can be this, depending on the situation. Full of survivors with low inventory spots? Boris or Marko will brighten up your day! Need someone to help build or defend the shelter? Pray that Roman or Marin show up. This can rapidly escalate with some luck and a revenue generating base. You can go all-out Punisher, rescuing the innocent, and exterminating the monsters with extreme prejudice. Just be careful about accidental karmic backfire. | |

| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_f60e525e | comment |
Smiting Evil Feels Good: Some characters will be very happy about killing bandits and murderous soldiers. Attacking the Brothel is considered a good deed as killing the men that are running the place will set the women free. Killing the kidnappers at the Hotel doesn't even register in anyone's bio; it's rescuing the hostage that counts. Killing the soldier at the Supermarket is not seen as a good deed by itself, but doing so allows his would-be rape victim to escape, which is (you can also save the victim by distracting the soldier or getting him to surrender). Killing the snipers at the Construction Site also counts as a good deed. The optimists might regret resorting to violence to stop them, but everyone else thinks they absolutely deserved it. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: If you manage to survive roughly 45 days until the ceasefirenote Also, the actual siege of Sarajevo lasted 1,425 days, so this game is a picnic in the park compared to what it is actually based on) or pay the man from the Port his fee and escape the city via boat and manage to have enough Pet the Dog moments, and not murder innocent people, everyone who survives gets a happy ending. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Sure, you could steal from families trying to protect themselves, or even shank a priest and loot a church... Or run around a house thoroughly looting everything of value as an old man hobbles after you begging you to please stop. Alternatively, cruelty can become a strategy for survival. For example, that old mathematician or school principal in your group, the ones who have no survival specialty and quirky/useless abilities, and has a tiny backpack... perhaps it's best not to waste any medication, bandages, or even food, on trying to keep them alive. The other survivors will be saddened by their deaths, but ten days later when their bellies are all full on rat stew and their house is nicely upgraded, they won't even remember their names. | |

We Buy Anything: Franko the traveling merchant, who will buy anything from you except snow. Most merchants will buy anything (except snow) from you, although they might not be willing to give much in exchange for it. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: But your survivors will become extremely depressed for having to resort to such measures. And you lose a set of hands for working too. Not to mention that if you manage to have your survivors make it to the end of the war doing too many cruel actions, life will only get worse for them after the war at the very least. | |

Item Crafting | |
| This War of Mine (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a | comment |
Item Crafting: A major gameplay component is creating makeshift things, like beds, stoves, and tools. All of these things require materials which must be scavenged from the world, traded for, or made from other things. | |
