hi,
I've come back to JA2 after a few years, using the new release [4452]. Enjoying the various changes and improvements but there's one thing I'm wondering about. Hits seem to result in loss of attribute points a lot more frequently than I remember. In the past I remember the occasional catastrophic hit that would result in loss of 20 Wisdom or whatever - usually the signal to reload your last save. But now it seems like every other hit results in a few points being shaved off various attributes and half my mercs now have attribute numbers in red (on day 3!). It seems almost like something that goes along with ordinary damage - 2 points off agility, 3 off dexterity etc.
So my question is, has anything changed in the latest version or am I misremembering the way it was?
Also, when an attribute loses points in this way, can they ever go back up? If "max health" is reduced, is that it, this is now as high as it can go?

OK, so I take it STOMP is part of 1.13 in the same way HAM is? I was looking for whatever controlled this setting in the INI Editor, didn't realise it was in a separate ini file. My first instinct is to put DAMAGE_NEEDED_TO_LOSE_STATS back to its original value of 30, but I'll maybe have a look at how this trait system works. I guess one thing it means is you really, really need to have an actual doctor on the team, not just someone with medical skill.
Thanks for the help.
