You can heat an enemy, if you are lucker.

Game's on iron man even though I didn't select it.

Saving and loading during combat is an inconvenience, not a cheat.

Way too much needlessly screwy stuff going on.

Well, guess I'm done playing then.

I was going to help correct some item typos and word oddities before running off in a huff but you don't use XMLs so... hm.

I don't see why you would need to slog through every battle just to test the next feature.

My income is still zero as I haven't figured out yet how to hire the tree tappers.

(Cmt 1) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put the merc speech into the final release.

an you explain how the "classic" and "alternate" story lines selectable with a new game differ (beyond the obvious, of course)?

Am I the only person playing?

Actually I'm getting my butt pretty well kicked. I've had to restart twice.

Your only weapons are .38 revolvers, for several days, I think.

Go for "ambidexterous" and 95 MRK

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put the merc speech into the final release.

The colors on the load/save screen are nice, but the text resolution really needs to be improved.

(hint, hint) How do I solve the poisoned water quest. I've liberated the 2 sectors the early FAQs mention, but health points continue to go down even the next day.

I thought the explosive crate might be involved somehow, but the key found in the next sector won't open it and even Fidel won't recognize it as trapped, let alone deal with it.

Again, thanks NO Team !! A new (to me) game is always welcome.

But you've certainly given us an interesting alternative to standard play.

I have taken Brenda's lab

but had to retreat (gasp! me, a grognard!) from the 2nd processing plant since it kept blowing up.

I didn't realize you were re-doing them in Russian

Me Lion. Me be hear. Me like dis.

There is already english voice (and faces and stuff) for the staff from Deadly Games

and you can even ask him in Russian

he complains I have Igor Dolvitch on the team and won't accept the reup. I don't have Igor, of course.

1. Tex is a M.E.R.C. merc in latest 1.13 so you could borrow his speech from there.

2. There seems to be "hire Mike in vanilla JA2" mod around; dunno if it provides speechfiles but check yourself if you can borrow there:

Ivan (from the Russian Gold :devilaugh: )

Only 1.02 Buka!

Yes, Ivan's good. Where did you find an RPK-74 & mortar?

are Molotov cocktails in the game?

In 2 of the hidden exploding crates (C10, E5) the editor showed mortar shells, and in 1 crate (F7) a LAW. In the game tho, these items weren't there.

By now I have 7 shotguns (2 stolen) but almost zero dropped/found 12ga ammo.

You shall not steal.

when moving through some sectors (F8, F9 ??) I get a notice that Squad x has found someone in the sector and do I want to stop or continue.

However, the weapon is still at 99%, 96%, whatever, just as it was before. Armor gets repaired to 100%.

Status: 93%/95%

The sectors are G8 and F9 (not F8 and F9). I didn't find anyone there either, but I still get the notice.

I'll put it in the bug thread as requested.

Do I have to rescue Brenda's journal before the antidote will appear? The chest where it's supposed to be is empty.

Thanks for all your help.

In JA1 you have no ability to save game during a battle.
(Really, you can exit the game and save the game, but it's like a cheat)
So The Iron man was for all players. We think it's rather cruel.

But the Iron man is a very important part of the original JA1.

But later the CD Version of JA1 you could choose at the beginning if you wanted to save during combat or not.
