Spending individual AP for a more accurate shot should be in every TBT game but now everything is just two actions with magic abilities
and unlikeable. Plus, I want complete control over presentation and comments. Also, I lack the thuggish tone necessary to make this popular on the 'Dex.
There seems to be a strange aversion to action points among devs. BiA didn't even have TB combat to begin with. NuXCOM devs say TUs aren't fun because they make combat too slow-paced. And even Gollop decided not to use them in Phoenix Point.
The legitimate successor to Jagged Alliance 2 is Silent Storm. FOT was a big step backward.
Or, more correctly, it is an old mod that was resurrected recently.Vengeance: Reloaded is based on one of the very first German JA2 mods originally created by The Scorpion. Development began originally by Hawkeye and Scheinworld with the intention to work on a full English translation but with time grew into much more...
Players of the original Vengeance may be familiar with the plot line but Vengeance: Reloaded attempts to flesh out those stories and themes as well as introduce entirely new characters and quests while running on a 1.13 platform. The Scorpion himself gave us permission to adapt his original mod and he also proved to be invaluable when I first leaped head first into the foray of JA modding.
... In the hazy cordite clouded aftermath of the campaign to free Arulco, law and order was not restored quick enough, giving many war criminals supporting the Queen's regime opportunity to escape Miguel Cordona's forces and regroup.
Cordona`s regime was supposed to be democratic, but this resulted in widespread opposition, as the threat of all too common corruption made it impossible for the people to trust anybody. When Cordona wanted to stop newly acquired oil reserves on the west coast from being exported and instead use the petrol for rebuilding his country he created an enemy in the powerful Hale and Burton energy corporation who had instilled themselves within Arulco as part of an agreement for reparations and free-trade treaties with the US.
As international legal proceedings continued to dog Cardona's resources, lawlessness began to resurface and the criminals and warlords that had once been in hiding now began to reinstate themselves within the country and began a stranglehold in their own districts. This lack of security only seemed to attract more lawlessness, more criminals and more corruption and it was only a matter of time when the public became threatened by the very mercenary gangs that were supposed to be securing Arulco, they demanded for these foreign mercenaries to get out of their country.
A.I.M had held training bases in Alma, which was soon handed over to the rebuilt Arulco defence force, but managed to keep a vested interest by basing themselves south of Omerta, where they were still welcomed by the loyalty of the people there. However, with the Government's long-term intention to throw the mercenaries out of the country, morale sank and they started to look for their fortune privately, some even started to work for Hale and Burton and the fat salaries they were offering.
Then just as the unsettled country seemed to be sinking in a quagmire of bickering politics all hell broke loose, and one of the largest fears of Arulco's people reappeared in the shape of Queen Diedranna. Despite testimonies of senior A.I.M. staff claiming she was dead, Deidranna was once again directing her newly revitalized army from every corner of the country. Her face was in the newspapers, on the TV and her voice spanned the airwaves, claiming her sovereignty and promising death to all conspirators of those who had tried to overthrow her before. Her first major address delighted in informing surviving rebels that with the help from double agents AIM's base had been leveled in an overnight raid by her army.
With their camp seemingly destroyed, funds hemorrhaging and their reputation ruined in a country that no longer trusted them, an associate company only known as 'The Agency' have sanctioned you to lead a band of mercenaries to reclaim their base and track down their staff.
Your goal is, to find Miguel Cordona and restore his regime and find the traitors and punish them!
This is no longer business as usual....this is personal... this is VENGEANCE!!!
The tools and know-how on how to work with it are almost certainly lost. It would probably be faster to make a brand new engine than get new developers up to speed on the JA2 engine, even if you could find the source code somewhere.
You know, if you gonna shit talk me, might at least have the courtesy to tag me.
For my part, I pointed out far bigger issues than you mentioned in my article and said I will update it. You, on the other hand, just entirely dismissed what I wrote about yours with boastful arrogance.
I'll leave you to your bipolarity, bye.
Check out the combat mission demos if you like that kind of thing
