another little thing i have noticed smeagol: the Blaser LRS2 should be able to take a sniper suppressor as well as a muzzle brake.

also nice work on the new weapon cache maps, the tanks really do add a little challenge. your new elite contractors should be guarding these in the south additionally so you

But I also agree with Sam Hotte, that there should be some more counter attacks like the Drassen one...

NEW_AGGRESSIVE_AI = TRUE

I see you have altered the LZ map , and where the helicopter drop is , from left of screen back to more right hand side ! And added titles to the intro screen heh , heh ! :ok:

those files are the old ones

carlos after 3 cities (including omerta)
miguel after 4 cities (including omerta)

the latter does not always work

edith: had a look into them: it's 2 and 3 cities, but afaik that never worked, at least not for me
judith: the sam sites are not in the scripts - you can't mix them with cities as far as i understand that - but you could trigger to other stuff, like getting income from drassen mine

I just started a new game to test all the nice and nifty new stuff and maps. Took me over an hour just to secure the first sector (including robbing enemies, hopping from one cover to the other, baiting enemies out and so on... hmm... dropped 12 mercs on insane into Arulco, I hope those 12 + Ira and Dimi will be enough to conquer the first mine... but I think securing Omerta in the first place will be tough enough ^^).

but damn, you really have to do something about those box opening orgies at the weapons caches!

sometimes i feel one such cache has more locked boxes than could be found in whole arulco in vanilla JA2! please use fewer of those with more content or simply make some opened and perhaps make use of the gun racks some more. it

these files are not sirtech's - they are altered and with omerta counting as a city (no enemy-troops inside), so you get carlos after having taken 2 cities (theoretically - i always need 3) i think there is a mistake in at least miguel's script, 'cause for me it worked with a 50%-chance after a 4th city. but it is better than 5 cities for both or instand recruitment

I think I added keys to the southern caches (and they will also open crates in other sectors). So the first caches have to be earned the very hard way.

Recruiting Carlos and Miguel is difficult, because of the wacky way they interact. Instead of going to Miguel each time and talking to him to get the offer of recruiting Carlos, you need to talk directly to Carlos and then recruit him.

If you recruit Miguel before Carlos, the C-man is never going to come along for the ride.

I have 2 .edt files (57 and 58) that allow you to recruit them both at the very beginning, you only need Ira to talk to Miguel.

what also would be nice if smeagol could add the survivors of that first merc team Miguel speaks about, so you get some more RPCs to find. i think there are enough complete characters in other mods that could be borrowed for this. at least 2 more RPCs would definitely be useful.

oh well, keys is one thing. but what i was referring to is, to reduce the overall quantity of lockpicking and chest opening actions by simply putting more stuff in fewer crates. half as many crates to open with twice the content would be a good start i

Leave the crates empty for scenery and put the stuff on racks.

This is both a conservatory and a research facility for the Bloodcats. Arulco's the only place they're found. Now, if you wish to know more about Bloodcats, I suggest you take it up with one personally.

I know Orta has a cover story, but a comms bunker is a lot more sensible than a Wildlife sanctuary!

another thing smeagol: do you think you could maybe put Mike fix at the central SAM site, as the leader of one of the elite contractor teams maybe?

after all the queen says something to up the guards of the remaining SAM sites after you take the one or two northern ones. would be nice if we could actually see the results of that.

but if not, i expect at least an elite contractor team to defend central SAM additionally this time!
