Your welcome.

22K is indeed a lot... send them in impossible mission and get them killed, as they deserve it?


@jareth_chong - it is not often that people hate X-Com. It is indeed one of the best strategy games. JA had even worst graphics at the time, and I liked the game, but I never finished it. :blink:

@JarethChong: XCom is considered best game in 1994, and Jagged Alliance is the best game the year after, 1995. Both are wonderful game, turnbased strategy combined with resource management. So let's try both.

For personalities and conversations between characters, JA is over XCom which have no personalities at all. JA brilliantly combines some RPGs and puzzles into an already excellent strategy game to make a wonderful cocktail k: . We are really mesmerized with the mercs and grow fondness toward them

Xcom, however, has a better "Line of Sight" k: . When a Xcom soldier see an enemy, user can click on red "1", "2" square to fire on that enemy automatically. At JA you have to click on the red shirt yourself.

Both have wonderful stories that keep me playing until now.

Yessss, Jagged Alliance!! Why didn't I see this game on this page further?? :w00t: In the past it was the perfect mix for me - playing some Jagged Alliance right after UFO or X-COM and then back to the aliens, then back to the red-shirt, then ... k:

Still, I cannot collect the money (22K) that I found on the field at day 1 HARD level. Before put it in the inventory it show minus 2 billion $, and after picking it to the hand it show "$22222 hard, cold cash".
I tried Elio, Ice, Ivan, Vinny, Grunty, Fox but same result: no cash added after the day. Is it a bug?
I use JA zip file download here (ver 1.12) on Win98SE.
Thanks

Hello!

I have Problems Merging Items in JA2 Unfinished Business.

I cant merge them, could anyone please do a step by step help for me?
(maybe you got a pic?)

Thanks!

Put the first item into the right hand of the merc. A grey box appears under it. Then put the second item into the grey box. The merc will attempt to merge the items.

Be sure to use someone with high mechanic skill k:

Hey, anyone know where I can get a free download of JA2, I'm desperate to get the MF, but have no money.
:tai:
cheers,

I don't think JA2 is free?! :blink:

Oh, you got to wait 5 years from now, then come back here to download JA2

Anyone still play this game? I got a lot of money but can't take home. Day 3 -4 I got 22K, now at day 8-10, at S28 Brenda's Lab I got 3 bag of money, 150K each :w00t: but nothing is added to my total sum after that day. I suppose this is a bug.

Due to the strategy guide they said you only get 3K - 5K maximum.

Sure 900 megs is like nothing.
Ha im polish so i dont need to translating for Ivan :evil: .

Let's go to the next generation of JA2: Liberating the Alruco Island

Jagged Alliance 2 takes place four years after the Metavira incident. Now the action takes place in a little country called Arulco. Rightful ruler of Arulco has been pushed from the throne and the country is ruled by cruel Deidranna's army. And you are again contacted to put things in the order, so it's your job to hire the right mercenaries and direct 'em to win in a much improved turn-based combat. The game is again sector based and has a main plot. Jagged Alliance 2 also has more of the loved role-playing elements - you can for example chat with the locals, get side quests, even get some of the civilians to join you in the battle field. The tree sap has been replaced with real sources of wealth, so you have to conquer back Arulco's mines to get more cash. There's also a completely new internet style interface in your laptop, that you can use to contact the mercenaries, handle the equipment, buy and sell equipment, read email etc.
What is the status of Jagged Alliance 2 at the moment?
The german version of Jagged Alliance 2 hit the stores April 19th 1999, and has sold pretty good, and has got many good reviews. The retail version has some bugs in it, but Sir-Tech Canada has already released a german patch, which can be found at Topware's Jagged Alliance 2 site at www.ja2.de.
[updated 10.10] Jagged Alliance 2 English version hit the stores in US on 23th July, and was released in other countries soon after. The reason why the english version was so late was that Sir-Tech Canada lost it's publisher Sir-Tech software in 1998. Sir-Tech Canada eventually found a new publisher, TalonSoft, 12th may 1999, but because the box art, manuals and deals with local dealers had to be made the release date was not until 23th July.
