The political situation in the Democratic Monarchy island of Arulco has gone from bad to nightmare. The country has been taken over through a coup-de-tat by Queen Deidranna Reitman, the wife of Enrico Chivaldori - rightful heir and son of late King Andreas Chivaldori. Enrico was reportedly killed in an assassination attempt during his trial for the murder of his father. Enrico however is alive and has contacted The Association of International Mercenaries (A.I.M.) to help him retake the island. Making contact with Miguel Cordona, the head of the resistance team, A.I.M. will hire mercenaries and coordinate battle plans to control towns, organize militias in a quest to overthrow Queen Deidranna.
Hey all, as most of you know, Jagged Alliance 2 is, like, my favorite fucking game ever. Why, do you ask? Probably because it combines a cheesy b-movie storyline with an extremely robust combat system to make an incredibly entertaining game.
We shall be playing with the fan-made v1.13 patch, which adds a fuckton of weapons, items, and even a few characters (ones that were included in the standalone expansion pack "Unfinished Business"), as well as sharpening the AI even more, adding new hotkeys, and, well, basically there's an assload of new features added to the game.
Ja2 isn't merely about combat and killing, oh no - aside from the custom mercenaries you can create (I'll get back to that in a few paragraphs), any other mercenaries you hire got to get paid, son. With A.I.M., the standard mercenary outfit, you can pay the mercenaries for a day of service, a week of service, or two weeks of service. You can also take out life insurance policies on them, so if they die in your service, you get the money you paid for them back, minus the time they already served.
How do you pay them? You take over the various mines scattered around Arulco. You won't make much money, at first - the people are scared that the queen will take over the towns again. However, you can gain their confidence by training militia and winning battles.
Your heroes are:
Ranken "Murderer" Phile
Samantha "Synth" Orange
Munkus "Guts" Beaver
Miguel "Big Boom" Valdez

Seriously, JA2 is in my "top ten games of all time" list.
You can get it on Steam, although I hear that version sucks, since you can't really use the 1.13 mod. I think you can still find it in compilation packs of various games - I know Strategy First sells one, but their site is down right now.
Yeah, both work fine with the 1.13 patch, IIRC.
Yes. He's an asshole, though, but he always was.

Dude, I will even write a backstory.
of course he would
he's got a pulse, right?
fuck, now I'm going to have to find those fucking discs again.
Going into that first encounter you get once out of Omerta. It's usually dead easy.
Except with the patch you've got several dozen enemy troops running into the battlezone from the adjacent sectors.
Granted, whoever survives is probably going to be swimming in loot.
Which reminds me, selling stuff via the map screen is a nice addition.
The people who've replied first are the most likely to be interested in updates.
