Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

[GloomFrost]

Thanks. I think what happened is that I triggered a nasty story event that sent out better kitted out enemies across that map and completely wiped my progress :D

I know what you are on about, same thing happened to me. Not the best game design idea, still a great game though. Started a new playthrough without any hard feelings.

I had a rough idea of the counterattack coming after the camp. I survived it with some initial setback, having to fight in some pitch battles and accept serious injuries (but not death) on my mercs to get through it. I suspect that's how it was supposed to go. Helped that I already had 2 teams out and running well before the attack with plenty of cash in the bank.

I'm getting my ass raped exploring the underground tunnels. Feels good. I'm having a lot of fun making bomb traps, detonating them with bullets etc to survive.

Guys, top 5 IMP builds

For me Stealth Sniper and Melee have to be in there, not sure what else is good though, thoughts?

One detail I noticed and haven't seen anyone praise yet: The pre-combat AI for Legion, foreign mercs, and native army all differ. Legion is very sloppy with watch overlap so it's entirely possible to liberate entire sectors with stealth kills. Army is pretty decent at keeping everyone in at least one other member's vision at all times so you can't stealth kill everyone, but messes up on occasion. Foreign mercs seem to very rarely become isolated enough for it to be possible. It's a nice thing I'm surprised a game that isn't dedicated to stealth included.

Leadership. Everything else has plenty of AIM employees, but only two non-legendary mercs have any leadership, and one has only 50. IMP has no special abilities so there will always be an AIM merc who can do just as well or better, but Leadership is needed yet rare.

I meant in terms of how to kill enemies. I'm not counting Leadership as a 'build' because you can add it to any build really

Pencil-necked laptop dweeb with maxed out LDR, EXP, MED, MECH who makes squads travel fast and cleans their guns while the real killers are banging hookers after firefights.

Best IMP is no IMP. Game feels more balanced that way. Plus the IMP voiceover is shit and they have zero personality.

My second playthrough was mission impossible / Ironman and I had no issues forgoing an IMP character. My squad was Barry, Livewire, and Buns, then I hired Thor and Ice before leaving the island, finally rounding out with Blood. Thors leadership was enough. Fucking fantastic squad.

Damn this game was a real blast....

Yes but then I'd have to call him '3 Others' =(

Feels good to be king/in control. Time to bring an end to things (1st playthrough + 1st Jagged Alliance game)
