On Hard difficulty only, I'd like to set the objective: you are only allowed to kill the thieves, don't kill anyone else! But I just can't think of how to set it up other than: don't kill the pagans, the guards, thebystanders...etc etc, which is absurd. Is there a way to group all the population but the thieves?

Create a new archetype and drag every other human type into it?

How about a property assigned to the AIs that when killed sends a command to a Qvar trap that fails the mission.
No, that wouldn't work either as an AI death not caused by the player would fail the mission as well.
Screw it. NamelessVoice will know how to do it as will a few other I'm sure.

Create a new metaproperty and add it to all of the archetypes you are not allowed to kill (e.g. add it to Pagan, Guards, etc.)
Use the metaproperty as the target for the objective.
This should work because metaproperties count as parent archetypes for all the objects or archetypes they are applied to.
Example: To disallow killing and guards or pagans, create a new metaproperty named M-NoKillOnHard
Add the metaproperty to the Guards and Pagans archetypes.
Set up the no-kill objective targetted to M-NoKillOnHard

I never thought that it can be done this way.
I will try it. I'm not sure to understand the final part though,...."targetted"....how?

You use it for the goal_target instead of -14 (which is Human.)

Ah, I will see what I can do. Thanks. :)

It works! :thumb:
It took a while though, because I insisted on putting "M-NoKillOnHard" as a target. Finally I realized that I had to enter the NUMBER of the metaprop...:o
I'm getting too old for this stuff :(
