**The Village People** is the ninth mission of Hogs of War. It is located in area in southeastern Saustralia. It is the fourth mission on this island.

## Terrain

The terrain is grassy. There is a meadow with some trees, on which player's pigs land, and a hill with enemy pigs and their equipment. There are two ways how to reach the hill; one way is blocked by a small minefield located on the left side of the map (in player's pigs' point of view), so the only way how to get there is to climb to a long high place on the map, which is divided by gap crossed by a long bridge.

At the right side of the map, there is a big minefield with a hidden path inside it, part of which is visible on the start, but later, it becomes invisible, so it's risky to try find the path with other than engineer pig (most players still do not have elite class pigs at this moment). After player comes across the path, he can get to small safe place with tree and 50-UP crate, as well as to small house inside the minefield, containing a Promotion Point and 1x Jetpack. On the other side, there is a lake with small island, containing tree and pick-up with 1x Airstrike.

## Vehicles

In this level, there is a shelter located on the enemy pigs' hill, and there are also two tents. Enemies can use them when they are highly damaged or pick-pocketed, but player can also use them to damage enemy pigs, as they give up to 20 damage to any pig that stands nearby.

## Pick-ups

There is a big number of pick-ups in this mission - underneath the enemy pigs' hill, there is 1x Cluster Grenade. Inside the minefield house, there is 1x Jetpack. On the lake island, there is 1x Airstrike. After you destroy the bridge connecting both hills, 1x Super TNT falls into the gap between them. During the mission, also three pick-ups with 1x Mortar fall on a path connecting meadow with player's pigs and the "long" hill without enemy pigs.

There is one health crate with 50-UP on a small mineless square located in the minefield. Health crate lies under a tree on this place.

## Promotion Points

There is one PP available right in the mission - if you follow mineless path in the minefield, you will get to the house inside of it; the promotion point is located inside that house.

## Enemies

At the start of the level, there are three enemies; one of them is pyrotechnic and two of them are gunners; they all stand on hill in the top left corner. After 10 turns pass, another pyrotechnic falls down on the meadow, where player's pigs previously landed.

In the hard mode, there are two pyrotechnics, one commando and one commando later parachutes into the level.
