repetitive combat? no, i just like turn based squad combat. Repetitive combat is, perspective i think, because after each combat i find myself in different situation, equipment/experience/map/knowledge wise.

I am just forcing myself to play JA3 for combat at the moment, even with flaws, combat is fun, as soon as you finish combat, it gets dry

I play such games for combat too, but then I found I prefer autocombat in JA3 if possible, it means I am not enjoying it that much 😞

i enjoy when i enter a new zone and need to look around for high ground, single out 1-2 men patrols and take out snipers in their nests. What i dont enjoy is: TOWN DEFENSE

12 times AI landed to Fleatown port with same manner, 12 times they are beaten in same manner. Dunno Legion bros, maybe land somewhere else and approach from different angles? lol

Game has bare bones of a good game but mechanics, AI, RNG, stupid game design kills it over time.

This comment deserves its own post. This is my pain.

yeah but 1.13 isnt really Jagged Alliance. And yes - they could make better AI in JA3.

Neither is this game Tropico Alliance really a JA game. It shares some similarities but also lends features from other games.
I mean, they couldn't even remake the Mercs in a fashionable way to start with; the heart & soul of classical JA.

lets agree to disagree. Mercs are absolutely perfect - this game has heart and soul of Jagged Alliance - executed better than anything before - but with a number of flaws that can be addressed.

Just go somewhere else. You suck your attitude suck and the level to which you whine is so off the charts. Please. Sell the game. I’ll give you money. Just go away.
