Can someone tell me what the various stats influence? I ran a search on "stats" and got way too many posts to read.

I know wisdom impacts learning ability. ... Leadership, ability to influence others, train militia? Strength, how much you can carry? Dexterity, lock picking, maybe?

Anything else?

Does agility determine how far you can run, or is that strength? What influences your action points per combat round?

What determines how many action points you have?

I know Agility does but because I've had IMPs both with 85 Agility start out with 24 & 25 aps I'm sure something else factors in.
I think it might be need for sleep (which is a hidden trait you can see in Proedit). Possibly Strenght act as a negative modifyer to this since the merc I had with 24 aps also had 85 Str.

According to the code I found in the file "soldier control.c", AP points are calculated as follows:
ubPoints = 5 + (((10 * EffectiveExpLevel( pSold ) + 3 * EffectiveAgility( pSold )+ 2 * pSold->bLifeMax + 2 * EffectiveDexterity( pSold )) + 20) / 40);
Which seems to say that APs are LVL/4 + 3*AGI/40 + HLTH/20 + DEX/20 + 5.5

So my IMP (LVL8,AGI80,HLT85,DX85) would get:
2 + 3*80/40 + (85+85)/20 + 5.5 or 22 points.

If you are wounded, this AP total is reduced
If you are tired, this AP total is reduced
If you are overweight, this AP total is reduced

If points are now less than 10, raised to 10.
If points are more than 25, reduced to 25

Reduce if claustrophobic underground or afraid of insects fighting monsters

Adjust APs due to drugs

If we are boxing, divide APs in half.

So to answer your question, LVL, AGI, HLTH and DEX all affect APs, but AGI has the most effect.

Funny,but why does Ira (always) get 25 ap to start with,when she(another merc) sees ennemies-(almost) fully rested and not overloaded-then?

That should be true,about your IMP,Bane(but there must be at least one other thing but I guess it refers to the minimal amount of points he gets each turn.
I never had less than 24 points to start with, entering a sector with that kind of IMP char.The next turn after he shoots or move,he has about 22 points.

The average per team,compared to how much you have as a plus in those important stats, was my wild guess-never seeing the code-about how the APs are distributed.

One more thing:My imp char always gets 25 to start with at 85 agi,health,(no matter the level),when he's the best at those stats.But if I hire,say, Magic on day one,he will get the 25 ap. and the IMP char will have 24 or less.
These are simple fact observations,and I am totally "code-virgin",but are you sure that's all there is to it(that formula),Bane?

Well, no, I'm not sure. This is all that I found in the function called "CalcActionPoints" but without following this function elsewhere in the code, I can't say if this value gets modified later, or even if this function is used at all (maybe it's only used by, say, enemy troops).

Basically, this is my best guess based on the code I can see.

Wait a minute! I just remembered that you also get extra points if you don't use all your points from the previous turn. The function I read made no mention of this so it must just be for calculating new points.

Yes, you can "store" up to 5 points from the previous turn, but never more than 25 points total (before energy boosters.)

FYI, to get 25 AP's you only need 72 AGI. I don't know what DEX has to be.

I was going to create a new thread about action points and firing costs, but. Since I'm enviromentally friendly, I'll recycle this old one =)

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but it seems as if the more badly your mercinaries are hurt\out of breath. The cost for firing weapons seems to go down a lot.

I should really run more tests on this, but I don't like to see my mercinaries get hurt. Call me a softie XD.

JA1 example. Ivan normally has 24 AP. After taking two rifle bullets into his treated spectra armor (lucky guy). He has 50% breath and 16 total action points.

In perfect health, it normally cost him 10 AP to throw a grenade, now it only costs him 8 AP. So, he can still preform close to the same number of actions per round.

Oh! And this happened a lot more in JA2. While it would normally have a base cost of 6 AP to make an unaimed shot with the C-7. It sometimes costs 5, 4, or 3. Depending on how close my character was to death.

I'm not exactly sure how or why this works the way it does. Perhaps it shows your character's strong will to live? Or a way for the game to give you a fighting chance when the odds have turned against you?

I find this very intresting Very Happy I love the mysteries of the JA games.

Yup. In short, all mercs get the same amount of time. But they can do things at different speeds. The more APs the higher the speed, but the turns still take the same in-game real-time (english is so terrible Smile ).

Clicking a gun trigger however is supposed to always use the same amount of time, so the amount of APs needed for that will vary. Merc with only say 15 APs instead of full 25 might only need 5 or 4 APs instead of standard 7 to press the trigger.
