One big change from the last major revision of 1.13 is that mercs with low leadership can't train militia. It makes sense, but if you're used to having Ira and/or Flo as early trainers, you may want to tweak the militia training settings in the INI. I tweaked it mostly because I didn't want to blow a week getting Ira's leadership up to the point where she can improve it herself with militia training.

Zereth posted:... didn't Ira have Expert Teaching, primarily useful for, er... training militia? Does she have something else now? She's not an expert, but she has Teaching and Paramedic, and an innate bonus to militia training for being a native. And she can't train militia unless someone trains her in leadership first. Yeah, it's pretty dumb.

I'm frequently surprised by how much I still enjoy this game but I have to say I'm a little tired of playing the same maps over and over. I never tried Unfinished Business or Wildfire because the word seemed to be that they weren't very good. Wasn't someone remaking the original maps or something? What are my options if I only want to stick with the 1.13 improvements?

There's a version of 1.13 that basically just takes the Wildfire map and a few specific features like I think some of the craftable items, and puts them into the 1.13 engine. It's not nearly as brutally unforgiving as original Wildfire was, and has the much better map. Someone else will have to link it though, because I'm not sure where that thread is on the bear pit.

My only qualm with gunslingers is that it's so agonizing trying to decide what to give up when you really, really want Ambidextrous, both levels of Gunslinger, and Athletic (Athletic is ridiculously good period, but when you've got relatively short range the difference is amazing.)

Those bugs have since been fixed, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Basically, install it over your install of 1.13. The first three things you'll notice are: 1. The maps are like ten times better than the vanilla maps and actually make sense. 2. The game plays at a much higher resolution. 3. You can go select various kits when you recruit members from MERC. No more mercenaries deploying with a .38 and a pocket knife. There are other changes too, including Smeagol's Item mod, but it's basically the same 1.13 at its core. Oh. Well then. Carry on.

I've played AIMNAS before, and while it is certainly pretty good, I don't think it has anything to do with game resolution. It might just have the ja2.ini resolution default to 1024x768 instead of 800x600, but that is changeable in vanilla easily enough.

My only beef with the Wildfire maps is that so many of them have shitloads of closed crates. So in order to make sure you get all the goodies after taking the sector, you have to spend 10 minutes having someone with a crowbar and/or lockpick go through them all. There is one upside to that: wisdom gets trained when a merc opens a crate and finds items. I had Maddog do the crate-work and he gained about 10 points of wisdom which he could definitely use.

It looks like the current version of AIMNAS isn't compatible with NCTH either, which is a big downer in my book. That is probably one of the best new improvements. It doesn't sound like it is going to happen either, looking at the thread. This is the modmaker's response to somebody saying they would like AIMNAS and NCTH.smeagol posted:Then make your own sub-mod... I'm not into NCTH business!

There are a lot of crates/lockers/etc to clear on the WildFire maps. It is slightly annoying, but even better than the wisdom gains are the constant strength gains. Forget that lockpick and crowbar method. Everyone takes turns kicking crates/lockers open. By the time we're plotting an attack on Alma even Dr. Q is buff as poo poo. The new minimum leadership to train militia thing isn't so bad for Ira and Dimitri, they get their leadership up high enough to at least start fast. It really makes Biff and Flo as useless as Gumpy.

I haven't had any issues so far, and the NCTH system appears to be working fine, so I'm assuming AIMNAS isn't part of this package, correct? And while we're at it, NAS is obsolete, anyway, since the newest version of 1.13 already uses an updated attachment system (no more of that 4-attachment-max), right?

Warning, cheaty stuff ahead. I've been playing the game a long time and don't use most of this stuff, but it is there. If you want to train strength, there have always been cheesy ways to do it. Load up a quantum singularity backpack and issue a move order, then cancel it. You don't even need to advance time. Just issue the order and they can gain strength. There is an old duplication bug in the game too, and I am pretty sure it has never been fixed. You can use it to copy things like rod and spring attachments, which aren't that common. Go to a shop. Put the item to duplicate in your second slot, like where you would put a second pistol if you were duel wielding them. Mark the item to be sold. Take a two handed gun, and move it to your main gun slot. This will put the item which was in your second slot in your hand. Stow the item somewhere safe in your inventory. Popping the item out of your hand doesn't remove it out of the store's 'to sell' window though. Remove the item from the sale window, and that is your second duplicated copy. Most people probably know this one for escaping patrols. Say you are entering a sector from the north, and want to leave it from the south. There are a bunch of enemies in the sector though, and you don't want to fight them. Enter in one of the north corners, and then immediately exit the map to the east or west. This will pop you back out to the navigation screen. Right click the movement order of your mercs to undo it. This will place you back into combat, but approaching from the east or the west instead of the north. Place yourself in the appropriate southern corner, and exit the map to the south unmolested.

Couple of questions about the new skills: Gunslinger is all about the pistols, and in previous versions of 1.13 pistols were absolutely worthless because you had to be within spitting distance to do anything at all. Has this changed now / does the Gunslinger skill itself change it? Which is better for being a crack shot with Assault Rifles, Machinegunner or Sniper? Machinegunner gives +to hit with assault rifles which is good plus the reduced recoil, but the +10% per aim click that Sniper gives looks incredibly tasty plus the damage bonus per aim click.

If you think some of the trait assignments for mercs are kind of dumb, you can easily change them by opening \Data-1.13\TableData\mercprofiles.xml in a text editor and assigning whichever ones you want. I changed Buns to Marksman/Paramedic/Teacher because it better fit her biography. You might have to restart the game for them to take effect though, I'm not sure.

I only had about $2K after liberating the Drassen airstrip thanks to outfitting a full squad in the start. Got Igor an M4 Super Benelli. I'll have plenty of time to gently caress around with bombs and cannons from the midgame on, so gently caress, I'll take advantage of buckshot for the only time in the game it's a viable upgrade.

I'm pretty sure I tried that AIMNAS download link a few pages back cus I love me some Wildfire maps and I ran into the problem that all weapons with autofire have 0 drift on both the horizontal and vertical axis, so either the whole burst hits, or not a single bullet hits. I'm sure there's other issues as well. It's unfortunate cus I really like those maps but I also want to try out the new aiming system.

It makes it so that things sold by BRs and Tony/Devin are higher coolness than things dropped by enemies, so it makes it worthwhile to actually buy guns rather than just relying on stuff I find. Especially since I play with enemies drop all items on, so I get every gun they're using.

I'm doing a two-IMP playthrough with those two character types and it's glorious. The gunslinger is up over 80 marksmanship (he started at 70) and I haven't even taken Drassen SAM yet, he just fires so many bullets that the skill skyrockets. I'm really liking NCTH so far. It just feels like it makes a lot more sense than the old system. One of my favorite things is watching my machinegunner walk bullets onto a target during auto fire. He doesn't even have a real MG yet and he's tearing up the place.

But I use a crowbar...does regular kicking train strength faster than prying? Kicking em open seems to help raise strength faster. I mostly do it because otherwise I break crowbars/rambo knives pretty fast. As far as Gumpy, even good wisdom doesn't help because the fucker sleeps all the time. He doesn't stay awake long enough to accomplish anything.

I've had Jagged Alliance for a while now but was never able to get 1.13 working until now. I'm having some fun, but I can't help but feel like I'm terrible at it. 1) Do backpacks make my guys move more slowly in combat? I notice Ira moves faster than anyone else, even at full weight capacity and the only difference is she doesn't have a backpack. 2) How do I claim San Mona and is it even worth it? 3) Are there any newbie guides out there just on basic tactics/clearing a sector? When I got a bunch of militia behind me it's easy, but taking out a place with just IMP mercs is getting the best of me. 4) Early/Midgame spoiler I guess Once Deidranna's chief scientist goes missing is there a time limit for me finding him? Anyone got any hints on where I should look?

Thompsons posted:I've had Jagged Alliance for a while now but was never able to get 1.13 working until now. I'm having some fun, but I can't help but feel like I'm terrible at it. 1. Backpacks and combat packs are different and usually can't be worn together. Be sure you're talking about backpacks specifically. There's a hotkey to drop all backpacks that a lot of folks use upon initiation of hostilities, and they figure the stuff in backpacks (tool kits, etc) they'll pick back up after the fight. 2. San Mona is run by Kingpin, you cannot "claim" it in that you will never train militia there and never have an income from its mine. You can steal Kingpin's money out of the mine, however. He'll send assassins after you thereafter unless/until you go kill him. A lot of people favor NOT killing Kingpin at least until they've won the fighting championship in San Mona, which you cannot do if you are hostile to Kingpin's forces. 3. The single biggest tip I can give a newbie is COVER. Even a guy shooting around a corner or hiding behind bullshit like a rock or a trashcan lasts a lot longer in combat that someone in the open, even prone. Also don't be afraid to go prone, particularly if you're in good cover. Aside from that, another worthwhile tip for newbies is to actually USE suppression fire. Sure, you can't hit that guy from here with your SMG, but he doesn't KNOW that, and if you magdump autofire at him, he'll get his head down and not shoot at you so much. Meanwhile you can have a buddy flank the foe(s) you have suppressed. 4. No time limit that I'm aware of on the scientist. You'll find him in a barn in some sector. I think there's a list of only a few sectors he can show up in, but you'll find him eventually. Uh, he's not good for much besides giving you a lovely robot and even that's a pretty big hassle.

Thanks for the help, guys.

Where are you having trouble, exactly? To me, it just feels like my guys aren't hitting a whole lot at medium distances, even my marksman IMP dude with his bolt-action seems to only hit things marginally better than the others. All my IMPs have the max default marksmanship, is it just one of those games where suppression fire is more dominant than single shots? I can't remember exactly what they're equipped with but I have one guy with an RPK, another with a G36C, and the rest have SMGs and rifles.

You won't hit anything at medium to long range without scoped rifles and high marksmanship. But with quality 4X scoped weapons and 80+ marksmanship you should be able to score body shots pretty far out with good success. You won't really be routinely making head shots at long distance without a long range rifle with a high power scope, a merc with high marksmanship and the marksman/sniper trait. But a properly spec'ed merc with a sniper rifle is devastating and will get routine 1 hit kills right to the end of the game with any of the 7.62 sniper weapons. Automatic weapons get a lot better with the auto weapons/machinegunner trait, but anybody can suppress effectively with them. Foregrips, bipods (if you lie down first) and lasers all really help with autofire. Scopes above 4X have REALLY BIG penalties when used at shorter ranges unless you use the fix I posted earlier. I mean, crazy punitive. EDIT: I don't think I've seen this posted here, so here is the full trait list: MAJOR TRAITS (can have one on expert or two different; numbers are doubled for experts if not said otherwise) AUTO WEAPONS -> MACHINEGUNNER : (mrk 45-60, str 40-55, dex 50-65, hlt 45-60) * +5% Chance to Hit with Assault Rifles, SMGs and LMGs * -30% penalty to chance to hit on auto fire/burst * Reduces chance for shooting unwanted bullets on autofire * -10% APs needed to fire light machine guns * -10% APs needed to ready light machine guns HEAVY WEAPONS -> BOMBARDIER : (str 45-60, wis 55-70, exp 35-50, dex 45-60) * +25% chance to hit with rocket launchers and grenade launchers (even underbarrel) * -20% APs needed to fire rocket launchers and grenade launchers (even underbarrel) * -10% APs needed to fire mortar * Reduce penalty for mortar CtH by half (penalty is set to 60% by default) * +30% damage to tanks with heavy weapons, grenades and explosives * +15% damage to other targets with heavy weapons MARKSMAN -> SNIPER : (mrk 65-80, dex 55-70, wis 50-65 ) * +5% Chance to Hit with Sniper Rifles * -5% effective range to target with all weapons * +10% aiming bonus per aim click (except for handguns) * +5% damage on shot per aim click after third * -25% APs needed to chamber a round with bolt-action rifles * Adds one more aim click for rifle-type guns (max is eight) HUNTER -> RANGER : (mrk 55-70, agi 45-60, hlt 55-70, ldr 35-50) * +5% Chance to Hit with Rifles * +10% Chance to Hit with Shotguns * -25% APs needed to pump Shotguns * +20% group travelling speed between sectors if traveling by foot * +10% group travelling speed between sectors if traveling in vehicle (except helicopter) * -30% less energy spent for travelling between sectors * -50% weather penalties * -50% worn out speed of camouflage by water or time (i.e. experts have permanent camo) GUNSLINGER -> GUNFIGHTER : (mrk 55-70, dex 50-65, agi 50-65) * +10% chance to hit with pistols and revolvers * +5% chance to hit with machine pistols (on single shots only) * +5% aiming bonus per click with pistols, machine pistols and revolvers * +15% firing speed with pistols and revolvers * +10% effective range with pistols and revolvers * -15% APs needed to raise pistols and revolvers * +25% reload speed of pistols, machine pistols and revolvers * Adds one more aim click for pistols, machine pistols and revolvers HAND TO HAND -> MARTIAL ARTS : (dex 55-70, agi 55-70, str 50-65, hlt 45-60) * +30% chance to hit with hand to hand attacks with bare hands * +25% chance to hit with hand to hand attacks with brass knuckles * -15% AP cost of hand to hand attacks(bare hands or with brass knuckles) * +30% damage of hand to hand attacks(bare hands or with brass knuckles) * +30% breath damage of hand to hand attacks(bare hands or with brass knuckles) * enemy breath lost due to your HtH attacks takes much longer to regenerate * Focused (aimed) punch deals +75% damage (spinning kick in case of regular merc) * +35% change to dodge hand to hand attacks(+another 5% with bare hands or with knuckles) * +20% chance to dodge attacks by melee blade * -33% APs needed to steal weapon from enemy hands * -25% APs needed to change state (stand, crouch, lie down), turn around, climb on/off roof and jump obstacles * +25% chance to kick doors DEPUTY -> SQUADLEADER : (ldr 50-65, wis 60-75 ) * +5% APs per round of other mercs in vicinity * +1 effective exp level of other mercs in vicinity, which have lesser level than the squadleader * +20% total suppression tolerance of other mercs in vicinity and squadleader himself * +1 morale gain of other mercs in vicinity * -1 morale loss of other mercs in vicinity * +50% fear resistence for Squadleader (expert SL cannot cower) (Only three bonuses can stack, i.e. for one expert squadleader and one deputy or three deputies) (Minor Drawback: triple morale loss for squadleader's death for all other mercs.)

Filthy Monkey posted:The exe you linked is SCI_AIMNASv19_r4452_28052011.exe, so I am pretty sure AIMNAS is a part of that package. You are correct that the NAS part of the name is obsolete now, but it most certainly still contains plenty of additional items. Mind you, I haven't actually tried AIMNAS since the new version came out, but everything in the current thread says that NCTH isn't supported. All of the new items would take work to update to NCTH, and that work hasn't been done. Are you sure you are using NCTH? Can you do things like aimed burst/auto fire? Nope, you're correct. NAS is obsolete but the package still doesn't work with NCTH, apparently (even though it uses that giant, new cursor). That can obviously be quite a dealbreaker for anybody on the fence about using the SCIs. Orange Devil posted:I'm pretty sure I tried that AIMNAS download link a few pages back cus I love me some Wildfire maps and I ran into the problem that all weapons with autofire have 0 drift on both the horizontal and vertical axis, so either the whole burst hits, or not a single bullet hits. I'm sure there's other issues as well. It's unfortunate cus I really like those maps but I also want to try out the new aiming system. That's been fixed, actually. This thread basically goes over all of the details for using these packages with the newest version of 1.13. Like I mentioned before, the mods currently don't work with NCTH, but everything else should be fine.

I think I've mostly got a handle on it now, and the IMP traits list is certainly a big help. One last question, though: is there a way to directly control a mobile militia's movement without having them follow a mercenary? Like a way to tell them "go right here and stay here" or are they just going to mindlessly wander around?
