On my third start, I think I am finally getting it right. My first one didn't last long.

I both killed off the contact with Miguel -- there was no indication of me having to giver her the letter in the dialogue and the game didn't end when I used her for target practice -- and took too long to capture a mine on the second one.

Whew. My crazy black chick Alpha and her four team members -- Ira, Blood, Steroid, and the newly deceased Buns -- have just captured the obvious nearby mine. I never managed to find the mine supervisor the last time around. Would s/he be below or above ground and is there a preferred location?

It would be nice to know when I continue the game tomorrow.

Jagged Alliance 2?

FrustratedPoet · September 16, 2003, 07:17

One can only assume so.

A quality game like X-Com, for those not familiar with it. Steep learning curve though, which is why Leo's (and everyone else's) 1st start failed miserably.

Jagged Alliance2 kicks ass

unfortunately my copy crashed whenever I got near Miguel's house, so I got rid of the game, if anyone knows where I can get it without crashes pm me

i got an original version man..

and then people are surprised I get pirated versions

Ps: there is also an extra campaign (add-on) or something, which I also had, but like I said, I couldn't play it

Speaking of X-COM-like games... Has anybody seen the new thing called Operation Silent Storm? It's a game developed by Nival Interactive. I've only played the russian demo, and was greatly impressed, but I think there is an english demo out as well now. Looks really cool to me, that one.

Jagged Alliance 2 is exactly like Baldur's Gate 2, except that it's actually fun. I am not sure why it's considered a strategy game. Meh.

I now have the mine under my benificent control and am heading an assault on the airport.

The Mine Supervisour ( Who are all Men (Sexistic)) are all in the Nice Shiny Building with the Black-Yellow Sign with the Slight Message 'Mining Corp'

I dunno Ira aint bad but Dimitri... that Guy cant even remember walking 30 ft!

Anyone who likes JA, I'd recomend Commandos 2, or the soon-to-be released Commandos 3. Awsome games.

Uhm, finished it several times. A great game. Pity noone is working on JA3.

Leo, you have to speak to Miguel. You'll get some good guys later on.

I loved JA2 but I strongly disliked a Commandos -Demo.
I like the Beginning, the constant Low Ammunition, to have to carry secondary Weapons using other Calibres..
The Money Managment..
I dunno COmmandos is a completly another Tactical GAme.

General Ludd · September 19, 2003, 07:08

Commandos is more like Jagged Allegiance meets Deus Ex, I guess.
