Beak Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Also, learned that if you move a merc from one team to another and they're not in the same sector the game will ask you if you want them to travel.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they took any inspiration by the "Drassen Counter-Attack" option re-enabled by JA2 1.13. It feels like it. I also appreciated the sudden shift in power. Things were getting a little too easy to be honest.(Deidranna, in her dialogues, is always mentioning sending large forces to take sectors back, yet the devs disabled the full effect in the "official" release, so she sends like this tiny 8-soldier army that your militia easily disposes of. Original JA2 lacked that kickback in difficulty.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remi1987 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Yep, I'm getting hit hard. *WARNING: Spoiler image and text incoming: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I've lost my own created Merc, that sucks, he was training some militia. From peace to mayhem after 1 event. I thought I was almost through. I need A LOT of re-work, since I've explored bottom right area already almost completely. This is FANTASTIC. I'm up for it. I need A LOT of bullets. That's my worry. Then I need 2-3 machine guns PER squad, that's another challenge. Flying in some new merc, who are, and will be, for a while completely disconnected from the rest... It's madness. Like XCOM mothership attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi1987 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 MY PAST AND NEW STRATEGY: So far I've never used Melee attacks, no fist and no knife throwing and no knife stabbing. Mostly strategy of high markmanship, good snipers and gun mods geared towards aiming bonuses. Got a few great shooters, but it's not enough. Now need to implement machineguns and craft ammo for that. That's gonna be a big challenge. Also enemies show up in much larger numbers AND have much better ammo. . I'm stirred up, from massively dominating to barely surviving. Not even sure where to start cleaning up this mess... . But I LOVE it. Thought it would be a 65ish hour play-through but now seeing this it would be 100+ hrs at least.

I mentioned it on different topics several times, the OG JA2 is way easier then JA2 Wildfire which i played & finished both recent time (few months ago). In JA2 Wildfire you also have more enemies in each sector like 20 - 25 blue shirts. It took me longer to finish JA2 Wildfire (like a month) as i played the OG JA2 after Wildfire and it was way easier which i finished like in a week. I wanted to post my review about JA2 (OG & Wildfire) but just dont have the time for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting events evolved, Quests being solved and as the income came back flowing in I'm picking up momentum with the squads and have had quite some good gaming sessions since then, still first playthrough, already above 115 hours... Learned a lot. Understand how Blood works, too 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman25dcsss Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I like that the event requires you to visit specific location. I captured almost all map and have more than 1 million money, no event yet. I am slowly completing all quests, they are fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the late response Actually I think this is nothing new but I approached Blood totally wrong (gave him a gun, how silly!). When used as a meele-char, using his perk to cross the gap to the next enemy (and throwing knives while approaching) and then hitting hard with the machete. He never used a gun again and since then, is still alive and acquires a pretty high kill count since then 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
