I believe Syndicate Wars is one of the greatest games ever, secononly to the undisputable king, X-Com (the orginal).
However, I am completely stuck on level 18 of the church missions. It is the one where you have to go to Bangkok and persuade unguided citizens that Eurocorp have captured and are holding prisioner.
The Eurocorp base is on an island on one side of the map accessible only by rail. The city is full of unguided and doing anything other than sticking to the riverbank will trigger explosions under your agents. There is also frequent satalitte rain.
Does anyone recall how to complete this mission. I can rob the bank, I can exterminate all Eurocorp agents. But I cannot figure out how to get that guy who stands by the dome and won't die. Do I need to persuade him? and if so, how I can't seem to get enough persuading power to do so.
Please Help

Yeah, mission 18 is really tough. The explosions are either explosives or Trigger Wire. Trigger Wire is hard to spot and explodes if you try to move through it, but it doesn't do very much damage. The explosions under your agents are probably caused by explosives (its been a long time since I played, don't take my word for it) - if you kill an enemy who was carrying an explosive the explosive will blow up in a few seconds. There are 2 solutions - get away quickly or pick it up.
To persuade the agent/soldier (can't remember which) you must persuade a lot of civilians first. So clear out the island, go back to the city and persuade 20 civilians If he's a soldier (appears as a pink blip on the radar) you'll only need 15. That should do it.
I don't remember the map well, but I know that police and unguided are worth 2 civilians when persuading something, but need 6 (police) or 10 (unguided) civilians to be persuaded themselves. So instead of persuading 20 civilians you could persuade 10 civilians and 5 unguided.
