Armed bands like mafia, farmers etc.

Hope to see them in JA3.

Hicks again? Hiding in their supply shack and popping heads with interrupts was fun.

I liked to put my team in the middle of village and start blood bath.

But you are right, the game need more complicated AI.

The enemies Ivan and Fidel kill in the gameplay footage are named "Marauder"s.

Yeah, that could be fun. I think there's more to be done with factions than what JA2 did, though. Maybe reputation with certain groups could be a thing here similar to other games like wasteland, fallout, freelancer...

I am with Swi74, if they could implement a rep system of some sorts, that would be great. Hicks won't return in the African setting of JA3 methinks 😄 .

Remember the farmers, hicks, and selling one of my Merc's to them.

Yes, they wanted to keep Flo. In exchange, you could pretty much take all the stuff in their crates without them opening fire.

 

If you found that farm early in your game, it has the potential to upgrade your squads armament up a notch, especially if you we're still with basic cheap smg's and pistols.

Imagine what a rep system could do for replayability. If being friends with a faction meant you are not favored by other factions effectively locking weapons, quests and paths until your next playtrough.

I think I'd prefer that to being able to please everyone, see everything and obtain all the cool stuff in a single run.

Instead of mafia, maybe a drug cartel would be fun to confront.

Central and South American cartels use Africa to convoy cocaine to Europe, so it could be "logical" to have some of them.

I don't think you mean complicated AI, I think you mean multiple enemy groups in the map.

Which would be a solid idea.

I always love three-way fights. Being ambushed by bloodcats while fighting Deidranne's army was rare, but fun. Mutliple factions would be a neat way to get that same effect.
