Let me start by saying this - I have been JA fan for 20+something years, since I first tried JA2. During those years I hava played JA2 countless times and almost all rip-offs and more or less similar TBS games out there. But none was eaven close to JA2. Especially in therms of attention to details and chsracter personalities, relations. What I have seen and heard about JA3 gives me hope - devs understand this and are paying attention to details (at least regarding mercs). This brings me to my question - will the same detalization and persanality apply to bad guys? As for immersive action narrative - it is crucially important to have intersting antagonist! Someone we want to kill! yet at the same time - someone we can relate to, or understand his/her motives, inner demons. 'Couse in the gray world of mercs we could just as well be hired by them. Could you bring us some light on antagonists?
Who is your favourite merc?

My absolute favorite is Shadow. It was love from first sight (or battle mission in this case). Still remember the first fight. I was young anf unexperienced JA2 player, haven't payed much attention to game mechanics. As result I was struggling with my first playthrough... could not take over a simple, unimportant sector. Cheep beginning mercs are weak, but main reason for heavy loses was my lack of understanding. No shame admitting it now - I was shitty commander for my mercs at the time. Was really frustrated and about to quit the game for good (eaven though it looked promising). As last resort - decided to spend all my remaining funds to hire a good mercenary for short time and let him try. Only one I could afford (and only one willing to work for me) was, luckilly, Shadow. Eaven more luck - after his arrival we started fight for sector during night (remember, i was bad commander and could not imagine game would take day/night cycle into account). So we enter the sector and few minutes later my jaw dropped - Shadow basically cleaned the sector single handed, without taking any serious demage. It was my first lesson in JA2. After that I hired specialised night ops team for Shadow. During days we where hiding, healing and regrouping, but came the night - we went out hunting Deidrannas men. That is how I fell in love with the game. After that I have many more playthroughs, and in most of them Shadow was taking part.
