I played the old jagged alliance games so am very familiar with some of the "history" of the games. I patched game fully after an initial several level playthough and started over. Pretty good game. I didnt pay full price. I think I would be a little upset if I had. Pathfinding is pretty stupid most of the time. Those times when I am clicking and clicking and clicking and they refuse to move is maddening so say the least. And there are places that you CANNOT get to, get out of. As in you can place mercs in buildings/huts etc during opening setup and there is no way out. Why are there not more crates/boxes of stuff around? I think I only saw 2-3 places where there were searchable crates/bookcases etc and only 2 of them with anything in them. I think the game is fairly easy, the secret is to use cover, pop up, fire, drop back. But jagged alliance was the same way. Also, make sure your entry team is placed somewhere with a higher elevation where they can pop up/fire/drop down. Dont spread your team out so they can put intense fire on target. Not sure why, but I had several mercs that never wanted anything to do with me no matter who else I had or if I fired everyone. Seemed like some of them liked it more once I had hired 6 mercs. Almost like they dont like to be alone. Lots of guns and versions of guns, ammo etc. In my game I never came across ANY binocs, nightvision, or other "head" gear. I played through twice, once on easy and once on med. Seems like there are a lot of "items" that should be there that I never saw in my games (camo makeup, canteens, etc). If rifles have 4/6 upgrade boxes...you should be able to get stuff to put in them. (snipe scope, tac scope, laser sight, rod were all I found) I did find plenty of the spring mod rods for lowering the AP of full auto firing. Those were always taken off rifles from groups of soldiers that attempt to take back territory. Both games never gave me a dialog option with the dictator to do anything other than attack him. I have not seen anything mentioned about the UN base, not able to talk to anyone there or find anything there. I searched and didnt find anything in the forums. It seems like a lot of people in the forums took a long time in game to beat the dicator. I did it in 6 days game time the last playthrough with like 150k left over. Not sure why others are having to take so long. Secrets I found that worked. Get the airbase as soon as possible. It allows you to fly to trouble spots fast enough to get there before the bad guys. I NEVER used auto fire...but then i perfer to snipe from distance/cover. It seems like sometimes the mercs cannot hit ANYTHING, especially with the sniper rifles. I was actually using them more for the binoc capabilities than anything else. Once or twice blewup/shot guy who rolled down into water. Didnt die, would not come back up, and you cannot shoot/bomb your way to them. Had to restart. Sucks. So I guess this is a bit of a question, observation, frustration thread. Comments would be welcomed!
