It's a Modders World: Jagged Alliane 3 Gets Free Content Update Today!
Sofia, Bulgaria / Vienna, Austria, February 6th, 2024: With its latest free update, Patch 1.5 "Larry", the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy game Jagged Alliance 3 introduces new content in the form of optional and variable rule sets, enriching your campaign in Grand Chien with fresh challenges and opportunities. Among the examples of how to intensify the trials for your Mercs are features like "Body Count," where your fellow warriors confront larger enemy squads, "Hard Lessons," which prolongs the time needed for a Merc to level up, and "Ammo Scarcity," as the name suggests, introduces scarcity of ammunition. Conversely, players can also leverage rules such as "A.I.M Legendary Deals," which reduce the starting salaries of elite and legendary Mercs, aiding their strategic endeavors. Players have the liberty to combine these rules as they see fit, shaping their challenges as they embark on their mission to liberate Grand Chien!
Moreover, update 1.5 empowers dedicated modders with extensive tools to modify, enhance, and even rebuild most aspects of the game. We eagerly anticipate the release of outstanding mods in the upcoming weeks and months.
Update 1.5 "Larry" includes:
Jagged Alliance 3 is being developed by Haemimont Games and published by THQ Nordic. The game is available on PC at an SRP of $ 44.99 / € 44.99 / £ 39.99 and for PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5, as well as on Xbox One / the Xbox Series S/X at an SRP of € 59.99 / $ 59.99 / £ 49.99.
- New extensive modding tools: Create new campaigns, and quests, edit maps, and much more.

The multiplayer functionality is 'cross-gen', allowing PlayStation 4 players to team up with their PlayStation 5 friends, and Xbox One users to join forces with those on Xbox Series S/X.
A free playable demo is available on Steam. It allows players to explore Ernie Island, the starting region of the game. Try the demo:
They entered the map very close to the deployment zone so I was able to do some setup but not as much as I would have liked. Fight did not go well....
It does not sound like it is ready yet. I am going to wait for Long War type mods (or 1.13 type mods to be more in theme). What is there still sounds too much like nuXcom shit. I got better stuff to play for next 1+ years anyways, I can wait.
That is a wrong word. We are gaming Elitists and we are proud of it. Peasants can go to reddit.
Which is exactly what you expect from a guy with bicycle tattoos, a handlebar mustache, and denim overalls to say about his favorite band/genre of music
Reddit isn't exactly held in high regard with many places or groups anymore. Not just here, but that user base (or what's left of it, that's another rabbit hole) has become the standard for midwit retardation in a lot of diverse circles.

In any other year, absolutely, but not in the year BG3 was released, sorry.
JA3 was fucking great though

Are you about to argue that early access is the same as releasing the game? Because I might not be able to accommodate that level of retardation right now tbh

We only pretend otherwise out of politeness.
Is this a typical thing in the game? What I played (only the first couple tiles) it felt like a CRPG with tactical combat which wasn't what I was looking for. I'm looking for that simulation of intercepting shipments for money because I'm out of money then making real strategic / tactical approaches to the game not just how do I deal with whats on a tile.Had a pretty funny experience last night. My secondary squad, level 2-3 mercs with light armor and small arms only, was parked in a port where three separate enemy shipments were scheduled to pass through. The enemy squads were trash - sniper, 3 marauders and 3 grenadiers each. But they all arrived at the same time.
Luckily my main squad was a two tiles over, underground fighting fucking Nazis? so I was able to pull them in after reloading.
Go ask him.
