Sistergodiva posted:Who should I hire to train milita in Drassen while I romp around and take bullets to the head? I'm using Flo, Igor, Barry, Ira, Gumpy. If you pick up Dmitri in Omerta you can use Ira for training militia. You need to get her leadership up to a certain level first though. I think it's 30?

FormerFatty posted:Is there any way to activate Sci Fi mode after you've started a game of 1.13? I'm about half way through and I want to try out all the future weaponsy stuff. You MAY (emphasis on the may) be able to go into the XML editor, go to the weapons/ammo/attachments stuff, and remove the scifi tags from items. Scroll to where it says "scifi" sort by that, right click > enable editing > click check boxes. Save before closing any windows, open game, kill some time for bobby rays to restock and then check it out. It's twenty to train to militia, I think, but it's somewhat/slow ineffective until 30%. Like instead of training the full ten students or whatever at once you only train like five or six.

Anyone know how long it takes for MERC to unlock Cougar, Gaston or Stogie? Any tricks to speeding it up? I've never seen these mercs and want to give em a shot.

Those guys are different from the early MERC guys in that they are actually really good for real, and their pay is accordingly high. Gaston is loving hilarious in his absolute flamboyant Frenchess though, I highly recommend him. EDIT: Also, Tex is in the vanilla 1.13 too, or at least was. I had him once, he was drat funny.

gently caress! I had no idea that Skyrider could be shot down. And, of course, this happens with Spider and $10,000 of equipment and medical supplies. I'm having so much trouble taking and holding Cambria. I can't hold enough sectors with high enough loyalty to train enough militia to hold the place! Goddamn frustrating.

Unfortunately he absolutely hates Malice, and I was really disappointed because I wanted to form a squad led by Le Assassins du Redshirts and Gaston hated Malice so much that he left.

I just got this game yesterday and I'm fighting for Drassen right now. What's the best way to take it? Should I take one sector, train militia there, take the next, and so on? Or do I take everything one after another and spend a few days in a row training in each area?

Doesn't your plant practice Lock Out\Tag Out? If it was your task to vulnerably position yourself then, liability wise, it would be your responsibility to de-energize the machine.

That would require too much wasted time. I've already liberated 5 towns, so its just Grumm, Tixa, Orta, Balime and Meduna left. Razor and Haywire are dead. Biff and Flo have been fired. All I have is Larry, who is sober and thusly kicking rear end.

I read that it's possible to sober him up if he has a near-death experience, or sees one of the bugs. Never tried the second one (who the gently caress plays sci-fi?) and every time I've tried the first one I cocked it up and he died. On a completely unrelated note, Biggins owns hard. I was using him to train everyone else up on explosives and he bugged out and jumped straight to 100 leadership and wisdom. Now he's tear-arsing around Arulco with an SA80 shooting the tits off every sorry third-world motherfucker that looks at him funny. I'm sorely tempted to hire Red so I can have Team UK Moustache.

If we are using spoilers for this: You can clean him up by placing him in a square with no access to alcohol or Medical Kits. He should recover after a bit of drying out. I usually don't bother though, it's too much effort.

Except sober Larry is a pretty good merc. Just keep him busy and he wont fall off the wagon again, you can even use him as a doc, just don't leave him idle anywhere close to alcohol or medkits.

drat I wish this game didn't start the way it did. I'm so sick of that run-down town and the march to Drassen dodging/fighting that first patrol and taking over Drassen for the billionth time. I keep trying to start a new game because BiA ran out of replay value (whose idea was it to have no weapon progression?) but it's just not worth wasting an hour of my life dealing with this abysmal interface and slow start just to get to ordering from Bobby Ray and shooting people in the face. Can anyone give me a 'blank canvas' save file they use to skip all that?

What happens if you don't immediately turn in the letter and go to Drassen? Can you just go to the other side of the map and take Chitzena or something?

There's nothing stopping you from not meeting/ignoring the rebels. You can talk to Miguel on Day 1 or Day 100 and it still pans out the same.

Post your steam profile and I'll gift it to you. http://steamcommunity.com/id/Vengarr Thank you! edit: Started my first game in years thanks to Jarf, and the first with 1.13. I cockily swaggered into Drassen airport at night with my night ops, machine-gunner IMP merc "Bastard" at the front. While scouting ahead, he rounded a corner and walked smack-dab into a female sergeant and her patrol. Apparently she had more composure than him, because she promptly ripped the MP5 out of his hands, punched him in the face until he was unconscious, and then killed him execution-style with his own gun. "Bastard's" last words, "Jesus-K-HRIST!", were never more appropriately spoken. I mean, holy poo poo. I didn't even know they could do that.

You can literally just head straight to the Queen and win the game without bothering with anything else (obviously this is difficult. But completely allowed by the game mechanics). Killing Deidranna is the only required objective in the entire game. It's one of the really cool elements of the game - there's no linear chain of events you need to adhere to to win, or arbitrary number of sidequests you need to complete to unlock the finale. You're just dropped into Arulco with one objective, and then everything else is meant to help you reach that objective. If you don't think something is worth your time, you don't have to do it!

In your guy's opinion, what is the best reaction to Mike showing up, and Mike getting killed? In my game he was seen by my IMP and was killed by Tex, who isn't in the original JA 2. I reloaded just to hear the reactions, and heard Ivan's and Thor's.

With the new hit system, having sidearms is an absolute requirement. I'm in the process of retaking Cambria with the latest version of 1.13 and I'm doing it with pistols and one or two SMGs. I have Danny in place of Fox and since he is also ambidexterous he can just lock down areas with his pistols.

CaptainWinky posted:I heard that alcohol can just appear in his inventory out of the blue. Don't know for sure since I only tried him once. Maybe I'll use him in a future gimmick game, drunk or not. It does but i think it only can happen in city sectors. And only if you don't give him something to do. Certain alcoholic mercs will give him alcohol too. I typically just make him repair or doc whenever i stop in a sector for any amount of time. If he does fall off the wagon just make him hump between Drassen and San Mona for a few days and he'll sober back up again. He's pretty drat cheap compared to how good he is, has technician and paramedic traits, and he's got decently high wisdom sober so he becomes a machine pretty quickly. I've heard not to leave medic bags or boosters in his inventory when he's not actively using them. First aid kits are fine though.

You don't need to dodge the first patrol. I always fight them on Expert and come out ahead, barring a lucky headshot. It's fine if a few guys are too injured to participate in the first Drassen fight, since you can just abuse the bar in the mine sector, and you only need about 2 people to take the airport sector at night.
