JA2 is one of my all time favorites. I've got a good feeling about this one, unlike all the other attempts. Seems like the reviewers do too. Really excited to try it!

Unlucky7 posted:I was going by the game recommendation to hire at least 3 but I think I will go for the fourth. Get 6. In the early game you need warm bodies, not skilled soldiers. Anything less than 6 is just making things harder for yourself, there's plenty of money to be had and more mercs will make it easier for you to take and hold the first mine so that your economy gets established.

I'm tempted to turn off the mine depletion but I also kinda want to play "legit" the first time through just to see what was intended. I really prefer to play nice and slow and I love the infinite money endgame of JA2. I guess I'll see what happens. Militia seems to be of pretty limited usefulness. My first two militia-only autoresolves were both predicted to be defeats, one of them turned into a win and the other was lost. Both had the full 8 militia but the win came on one that had 3 veterans, so I guess getting vets even right at the start is pretty useful. Expensive though, hence my thoughts about the mines.

Unlucky7 posted:Since Ernie is on an island, if I capture the fort, does that mean that I do not need to train militia or can other forts send attack parties across the water? You will get attacked across water. You really don't need to worry about 5 hours lol, just explore the whole starting island, it has a lot of good quests and stuff to find. There's plenty of time. deep dish peat moss posted:As far as I can tell, outside of a couple scripted story events the only thing enemy squads go after is enemy-controlled diamond mines to pick up diamond shipments. Forts generate random assaults on your controlled sectors just like JA2

FLIPADELPHIA posted:This happened to me last night. I was in the middle of a map and my computer just straight up turned off with no warning. I've never had that happen in decades of PC gaming. That used to happen to me with Witcher 3, and only Witcher 3. Turned out I had a bad power supply and the game worked fine after I replaced it. Might not be what's happening here, I doubt everyone reporting this has a bad PSU but the symptoms are the exact same.

boo boo bear posted:the mercenary that spots the mine or trap always stops. it's a solo endeavour. trying to move your entire group through an active minefield like a herd of cattle is going to yield negative results. Yeah, this. Always have the explosives expert scout minefields alone. Also don't spam movement orders, because if you order movement right after they stop moving due to a mine you can override it and cause them to run straight into it. Anyone found a use for chipped sapphires other than immediately cashing them in?

boo boo bear posted:have a knife selected, then target a mook like your normally would. it'll let you prepare an attack and target a specific body part, then just move your dude behind them while trying to avoid being spotted. You don't need a knife for stealth kills. You don't even need a suppressed weapon. Any attack out of stealth mode counts. Guns are surprisingly quiet even without a suppressor, I have gotten a ton of unnoticed stealth kills with the unmodified gewehr even though it says it's super loud. Unlike JA2 where any unsuppressed gunfire would trigger the entire map

Exodee posted:That's what I've thought too, but I've used Livewire on a "mechanics check" trap before and it exploded in her face. Meanwhile Barry has always disarmed the trap no matter what kind it was so I want to say it always checks explosives. I've seen Barry get a good shock from a failed mechanics check, so it definitely can check both.

Different strokes I guess but training is insanely tedious and boring. I only do it as an absolute last resort while I'm waiting on people to heal or move into position. Base stats are all that matter to me

Objective Action posted:Also, weirdly, I think it might actually be easiest to get the lone wolf playthrough done with the finish super fast achievement? I'm only about a 1/3rd through but I beelined for the Major and just ran past a lot of the encounters. I'm noticing quite a lot of the tiles that had enemies in my main playthrough must spawn in after some time because they are empty if I sprint there. This tracks with JA2, IIRC the speedrun strat was to hire Magic and run around in tactical view avoiding enemies and collecting stuff on the way to the palace then blow Deidranna up with a LAW.

Panzeh posted:I think the challenge in 3 is that it's not quite as straightforward to win. Yes, definitely. I'm interested to see how the route turns out. toasterwarrior posted:It owns how the best merc for doing the solo run is still, as always, Magic. Not even Shadow who's literally built for it, but the main man himself, Magic. Part of why Magic was so good in JA2 was that he came with a canteen so you could run longer in tactical mode, lol. Obviously his stats are fantastic though. Shadow may end up being a better choice in JA3, or possibly even something weird like hiring a specific merc for specific parts of the run and then firing them to hire someone else.

Pretty sure having any source of cumbersome from a single armor or weapon removes 100% of free move and the perk gives you 50% back. Stacking additional cumbersome stuff on top does nothing that I have seen. I agree it should be in the UI though.

Elendil004 posted:I tried the active pause mod to be able to set up multiple things but it doesnt seem to work like that, is that right or am I doing something wrong? I haven't tried the mod but my understanding is that it was just a UI convenience, it doesn't change the way the battles work. You wouldn't be able to set up multiple simultaneous attacks or something like that because the tactical battle engine only processes one thing at a time in sequence, it's not designed to be a real time active pause kind of game.

TheWeedNumber posted:yall just need a psycho in the squad to straighten him out apparently lol I think having a psycho is the only way to reunite all of the Coffee Beans, too. Although that quest is kinda dubious on higher difficulties I think, even on easy I had trouble keeping everyone alive and you take a loyalty hit for anyone who dies. Might skip it in the future.

I once saw her start a turn directly next to a machine gunner with their overwatch cone pointed in the opposite direction, and she specifically ran the whole way around him and took a full burst to the chest to die. She lusts for death

This would be a great opportunity for an in game website parodying the dot com boom the same way Bobby Rays did for the 90s web. Something to let you order from all the local vendors.

mobby_6kl posted:All right, thanks. I think I was just unlucky in how many enemies were spawned right next to that shack where the beans hang out. There were at least 8 there and another group in the alley behind them. It's entirely rng as to whether you can keep the beans alive, yeah. The enemy deployment is fully random and will sometimes dump most of the invasion right next to them with no chance for you to get into position to defend. Also rng as to whether they decide to shoot each other in the back repeatedly, lol

There's four main interface changes I'd like to see: - Auto renew - A "scrap all" button on the loot/sector inventory pages - Get rid of the arbitrary limit on items in queue to repair. Ideally just get rid of the queue entirely, or make it optional, 99% of the time when I am repairing one thing I am repairing everything. - Make tactical view interactables clickable from any angle

I use ARs all the time, yeah burst sucks but nothing says you have to use that. Single shot is great. It's super useful for cleaning up injured enemies after your snipers, mg and explosives have done their thing. Plus you can use them for 40mm grenades. Obviously snipers are the best choice right now for the bulk of the squad but having some versatile damage you can spread around at the end of a turn is great.
