This game is among the best games ever made. From the scenery to the characters to the gameplay, to the humor and the drama, everything has such an impressive level of depth...
Easiest method for a vanilla experience in modern PCs in 2023 is the "Stracciatella" mod. Like you said, 1.13 changes a lot of things. Stracciatella has some new shortcuts and features you can disable and mostly just updates the resolution. Also it's super easy to install.
Nope you're not alone :) Didn't played the game for like 10 years, and then when i wanted to refresh some memories, i was surprised by myself, still knew the bloody password. To be fair, perhaps it was just muscle memory, because i did a lot of experiments with character creation at that time ;)
No no no. Don't go for 85 marksmanship in the character creation, because marksmanship is the easiest stat to improve. Even if you start with 50-60 you'll be fine. I wouldn't recommend going lower because those are actualy the % so with 4 stages of aiming each giving extra 10% you could be missing shots even from the closest distance. And those saved points you can spend on your ability stats like strenght and dexterity which are really hard to improve. My favourite starting mercs are: Grizzly, Igor, Buns, Blood and Wolf (I hire them for 1 week I know its not so money efficient, but extra merc when you have 5 (including you) is more less 20% boost to your firepower. Also non of those are psycho like Meltdown or Fidel. My favourite perk is night ops (each stage giving +1 square of view range at night) combining that with UV googles gives you +4 view range advantage. Sometimes you can literally kill enemies without being shot back and even having the first shot or two advantage is massive because when your or your enemies HP drop the action points (AP) drop also so even if your enemy survives your first two shots he often "isn't in the mood to fight anymore" :p Combine spotters with snipers (1-2 snipers are enough). Snipers don't have to see targets themselves!!! Use dragunov with a scope and dipod(works only when merc is prone) and you can have awesome headshots from half of the map distance :) With that night ops tactics (hey when you attack you can chose the time) you don't need guns with huge range in most night fights those with 20-25 range (its in squares in game) guns are enough like 'commando" or 'FA-MAS' Don't forget to talk with mine headmasters, because this is your income in game. Oh and first thing you do after you liberate a city TRAIN MILITA.
one thing about a higher Marksmanship: it defines what weapon you get. iirc at 50 or below you get a S&W revolver, between 50 and 79 you get a beretta and at 80+ you get a MP5K. Combine the latter with the stealth trait that nets you a suprressor, and you can solo most of the early maps quite easily.
Great game, I am playing it every 2-3 years for almost 20 years. I am also playing Fallout Tactics every few years. Why such games can't be created today with 10 times better technology!!??
@@coolnamebro Yes, probably, but I think that game industry is in hands of corporations, meaning MINIMIZE EFFORT (recycle old success games) and MAXIMIZE profit (make games for AVERAGE population, most of the people). All games are today like German Volkswagen. Where are Ferrari, Lamborghini games??:).
@@torontotonto6189 To be fair, 'back in the day', even big studios were basically indie studios that had a hit and expanded... and it's not that they had it all, it's more that 'it all' was two OS and a few dozen hardware setups.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. I play a lot of old games and it can be a real challenge to find any useful info about them sometimes. Even just a video or forum post about what mods/patches/fixes to get a game running on a new PC can save an entire day(s) of trying to get it working. As someone who has never played or seen this game before (I've only ever heard great things about it) I do wish there was some more very basic info in the video. Maybe going over and explaining the UI or explaining the basic flow/goals of the game. Of course that's all stuff I'm sure I can get from reading the manual so I can't complain, I'd just rather watch a video. Thanks again.
I remember always maxing Dexterity instead of marksmanship, as well as picking correct questions in the questionaire for night ops and throwing/stealth, ending up with a character that was able to clear the entire city at night time with nothing but throwing knives. The only problem was if the enemy had better night vision googles than I did... which they usually had. x3 Good vid, after over 2 years. Cheers.
Thanks for advices, now starting JA 2 for first time :D I'm surprised that you got so few subscribers, the intro/outru is great, you are describing cool aps and you played lot's of games, but only minus that canal is little in disorder, and hard to find stuff, GL in next videos. PS. Someone told you ever you look like StarLord ?:P
my first hour: first 2 minute: oh cool, windows 98's internet explorer 3 minute later: cool character creation 5 minute later: ok, i've hire a squad of super mercenaries, now is time to kick ass 2 second later: why they land in front of the enemy? reload reload reload...
I like Danny as his medical, agility, health, and wisdom are high level. Marksmanship is initially low but he can quickly become one of your best men. Just don't have him handle explosives lol.
If anyone is interested to get into JA2 Vanilla (should try it at least once to get your bearings before delving in the various mods, 1.13 is recommended), a great starting team is your I.M.P which for me is a night ops expert usually, Steroid for his Tool Kit and Lockpicks, he can also kick down doors since he is a bodybuilder and very strong, if he can't lockpick. And finally Shadow, for a lot of reasons. Camouflaged and therefore harder to spot if lying among trees, on grass, especially at night,etc. Stealthy, agility already in the 90's, very fast on getting interrupts and he comes with an HK MP-5 which is sporting a 20 range, versus the 12-13 range the pistols have. Still not a long range so during day wait in ambushes around corners or inside buildings, during the night he can crawl close to enemies, within shot range, kill one then wait for others to come investigate . During the early game he does most of the killing till the team starts getting weapons with longer range. When i started playing JA2 in 1999, i hired many low level mercs and made a mess. Got very frustrated. Tried a new playthrough with the above team and it was smooth sailing. During the early game it's much easier to fight at night. The enemies can't see far so you can use the environment to your advantage.
@@世界で一番美しい人間 Sorry for the late reply, I have tried XCOM 2 but that % for every shot is VERY annoying. They are supposed to be expert soldiers so their marksmanship would have been a lot better. Try it if you want. Commandos 2, excellent game, stealth or all out war, it has everything, you choose how you want to play. Operation Flashpoint : Cold War Crisis and it's 2 expansions : Red Hammer and Resistance. The first and best combat simulator, legendary game. They continued with the ArmA series but not as good on the single player campaigns, which is the only part of the game i care about. Never messed with multiplayer. Other games that i like a lot are the Fallout series, 1 to New Vegas, 4 didn't excite me and of course didn't buy 76. Lastly, the Jagged Alliance 2 with the 1.13 addition and some mods, such as Arulco Revisited or Arulco Vacations or Deidranna Lives, are awesome, just make sure they are the 1.13 version. The JA2 it's an immortal game. Never get bored of it.
@@世界で一番美しい人間 If you need more info or have questions, please go ahead and ask away. If you are planning to get into JA2 , make an account at The Bear's Pit. You can download the 1.13 and other mods that work with it, ask questions or advice, it' a great site.
This video is fantastic. Older games can be a btch to play with how much industry have progressed in ways of teaching the player how to play, but that difficulty also carried a design that's much more immersive if you can get over the initial hurdle. I hope this video helped someone get into this game, because it's one of those gems that wouldn't get released nowadays. I especially like how it treats things like knives or martial arts. You CAN make them work, especially with stealth, but bringing a blade to a gunfight will most likely end in you getting shot to death. Compare it to modern sRPG's like X-COM 2 where you literally have a class that's a ninja running around and slicing enemies with a sword. And I like X-COM, I just think we could also use more games like Jagged Alliance too.
I was answering IMP's tons of questions, save and load to find what is the best..... Finally, I'd picked night OP expert, an aegis combat system in the night.(can early shoot gray SS soldiers with NV/UV) When I was playing, I'd paid for 1 week and have Ice and Buns.(both are good for training militia, and Ice useful at auto-fire) My 1st day don't take explosive experts, even in hard, no such danger in beginning days for my operations. But days later and had stable income, I'd extend mercenaries contract 2 weeks as early as I can. If I've paid enough in early days, I can save a lot from their "level up".(in my experience, I'd extend their contract until 100 days before LV5) In easy difficulty with 45000, I'd have a team with 5 members.(all 1 week contract) But in hard with 30000, only 4 members in my team and no explosive expert to go with. My favorite were: IMP, Ice, Buns, Barry; in easy, with Fidel/MD/Dr Q. Good doctors can treat hurts very fast, and smart guys like Barry/doctors, they can study easier, raise their marksmanship faster but paid less than those expensive aces. Also, online gun store "Bobby Rays", sold better equipment in higher difficulty. In hard, with patient, I can give ALL battle squad members with UV and mortar fire support.
i found that Buns, Barry and Steroid can carry me (with my own MC) as the main squad quite well. for lowlevel Charactzers are have overall decent stats (save for Sters wisdom, which is not good), the three of them fill decently from the early game the 'secondary' roles well enough (Buins as medic, Barry the mechanic and Steroid the demo) to your own (probbaly high marksman high leadership) merc
Still my most replayed and one of my favorites of all time and I play everything. Nothing really comes close to this other than Divinity Original Sin 2.
How is mod 1.13 a pleasant experience for new players? It's an overloaded mod that changes everything about JA2 that makes it JA2. It's something one should only try if you have exhausted the original game and are looking for something completely new and different.
you never mentioned wisdom... wisdom effects how quickly skills that get used i.e. marksmanship medical.... go up.. mid game is much easier if u try to get all ur mercs with high wisdom
What do you think of JA2 Stracciatella? I generally prefer it over 1.13 due to it being much more of a vanilla experience as well as being really easy to install.
I see that some of this video makers are comparing JA2 to XCOM. Only thing they have in common is the turn based combat. In JA2 you have to take a million things into consideration. The mercs you hire, their attributes, specialties and level of experience, to begin with. Then, you get quests from the locals, can even hire some of them. Need to repair items, doctor your wounded, sell some loot, talk to the miners for income, lockpick, kick or shoot locked doors and containers, some mercs don't like someone else, some like others. It'll take a while to figure out who likes/dislikes who and compose your squads accordingly, taking into consideration not only their relationship levels but also their skills. You'd want to build balanced squads and keep the "dislikes" away from one another, in different sectors. You need to upgrade your armor and weapons by either bbuying and/or scavenging from the field, when the fight is over. If you can find the game manual online, it offers a lot of useful information. I could talk for hours about this game, it's trrully unique, no other games comes close, in many ways.
ive never played dark souls.. but i had the jagged alliance 2 demo on a disc from my old pc gamer subscription in the mid/late 90s.. ive been playing it off and on since 1999 (it almost didnt get released).. Point im trying to make is this game is fucking hard
Dexterity needs to be higher... it affects loads of things including repairing, throwing knives & grenades, melee combat and chance to interrupt. You don't really need 65 leadership unless you are planning to train militia with your IMP.
11:01 Dear god, no, DO NOT max out Marksmanship. Marksmanship is probably THE easiest skill to rank up and does incredibly quickly. With a high Wisdom rating, even more. That's one of the reasons why Dr. Q is such a good value and is often overlooked. His marksmanship is terrible, but because of his high Wisdom stat you'll quickly improve it.
Yes you can! Setting and disarming explosives for example...but it is very slow to improve. I remember I used to have a "training camp" in a free airport area where I did drills to improve all the stats on my main character...should have done that IRL :))
Take IMP and Barry since he will be Trevor mk2 as soon as he train a bit and as many good geared mercs for one day use them to get omerta and fire them. Grab good gear take Ira as medic and you are good to go with kevlars G41 mp5s or some AKs.
when i installed the mod it worked just fine until i got to the second screen (so after the helicopter landing and killing everyone and "accepting" the first mission going to the next screen everything would be bugged out. graphics were bugged but it still had collision meaning some of my guys would get stuck immediatly after going to the screen and couldnt leave. and i couldnt get to miguel anyway as something would always be in the way.)
I always hire just Scope Sterling instead multiple mediocre characters. Just her and your merc can take Drassen no problem. After taking over Drassen mine you can hire more mercs before Deidriana counterattacks.
I've played the vanilla JA 2 a million times and I love it, but I gotta say the 1.13 patch is really destroying me. Also it's annoying as hell because you get caught up in a *tonne* more battles filled with your militia so you have to sit through a battle that's 3x longer than a regular battle, waiting for all your militia to do their turn. Is there a way to not have to watch your militia's turn in real time?
Is there a way to consistently avoid interrupts? I'm not too sure how it works, sometimes I feel like I sneak behind an enemy and he still sees me. This is especially hard when I'm looking for the last enemy in a map.
Use the lockpicks on doors/lockers, etc. (if I recall, you have to rightclick them with a character that is carrying the lockpicks). Or hire Steroid and have him kick the locks open. He can't open all locks, but he can open many. Sometimes it can take some 10 kicks or more (if not impossible -- if he says "this is not possible", it doesn't always mean he's right).
ja2 v 1.12+ are bad versions, it makes the unhitable targetable , therefore you dont ever know if any enemy is hitable. these v1.12+ are ruined versions, sure night op is better but unplayable. stick with v 1.07. i wanted to bring this issue past 20 years but no luck finding forum, bearpit forum seemed always dead.

Dexterity is important for hit chance, it is actually more important to max it instead of marksmanship, because you will train marksmanship easier

In JA2 you have to take a million things into consideration. The mercs you hire, their attributes, specialties and level of experience, to begin with. Then, you get quests from the locals, can even hire some of them. Need to repair items, doctor your wounded, sell some loot, talk to the miners for income, lockpick, kick or shoot locked doors and containers, some mercs don't like someone else, some like others. It'll take a while to figure out who likes/dislikes who and compose your squads accordingly, taking into consideration not only their relationship levels but also their skills.

Is there a way to not have to watch your militia's turn in real time?
bit late :P but this was super, good on you

Is there a way to consistently avoid interrupts? I'm not too sure how it works, sometimes I feel like I sneak behind an enemy and he still sees me. This is especially hard when I'm looking for the last enemy in a map.
Not to mention, it's really easy to get lit up by an enemy interupt if you run across a space between two buildings or in front of a window.
Does straight points affect shoot attack?
I would kill myself if i had to look up all the time like he... why? xDD

how to lockpick? xd
Use the lockpicks on doors/lockers, etc. (if I recall, you have to rightclick them with a character that is carrying the lockpicks).
Or hire Steroid and have him kick the locks open. He can't open all locks, but he can open many. Sometimes it can take some 10 kicks or more (if not impossible -- if he says "this is not possible", it doesn't always mean he's right).
It's pronounced Jag-ged....not Jey-ged
That's a long intro
ja2 v 1.12+ are bad versions, it makes the unhitable targetable , therefore you dont ever know if any enemy is hitable. these v1.12+ are ruined versions, sure night op is better but unplayable. stick with v 1.07. i wanted to bring this issue past 20 years but no luck finding forum, bearpit forum seemed always dead.
