Wow, just wow.
I have been playing JA2 since the Demo first came out all those moons ago. I have known about the Secret Caches from almost the get go. I thought I knew what they were about. Apparently Wildfire had other ideas.
See, even though I knew about the secret caches, I really didn't do much with them. They weren't high on my list of places to visit. See in my mind the weapons caches where just an area that when you walked into that sector some crates would appear that had some mostly junk in them. Yes, I knew about the cache near Alma having the P90 but it still wasn't enough for me to go after it.
On a lark, while running the Wildfire maps, I decided to go after the Drassen weapon cache. WTF-Chuck! Where did this facility come from? And holy crap that is a lot of loot. Who needs Drop All if you visit the weapon caches!
My question, yes I have a question, in the Vanilla (and therefore 1.13) wasn't the weapons caches as I remembered them, crates that would appear on the ground as you walked near them or have I totally missed out on this factor of JA2 for the last umpteen years?
No, I am not much of an explorer, only time I go off the road is to look for Skyrider and Madlab or to avoid a patrol.
Thanks,
Eastwoodaen

Okay, I could start a new thread (again) and maybe I should since this question is totally different. But...
"Why can't Johnny train little Billy on shooting his BB gun?"
Do you have to have the Teaching minor skill to be able to train Militia and your fellow mercs a skill or attribute you excel in?
I am guessing this is a change with STOMP but who knows.
I have two people who can train other mercs, my Squadleader/Teacher and my Hunter/Scout, Squaddie has a Leadership of 75 and and Hunter has a LDR of 50. But when I have Buns who has a MRK of 80 try to train Ira in MRK, even though Ira's MRK is only 65, Buns name flashes red, like she can't train. I have been using the Hunter to train Ira and Buns in Leadership, both were below 25 thinking that their LDR had to be higher before they could train other people.
Training Militia has been a bit easier, I have like 3 or 4 mercs that I can use to train them. However, I have run into an issue. In Chitzena, I started training Mercs in the top left sector, the one with Yanni. After the counter attack, I tried to train Militia in both lower sectors but could not. When I went back to the Yanni sector I was able to go back to training. Is this a bug or has it been changed so you can only train in one specific sector (the town center as it were)?
And do you have to take all sectors before you can train? It used to be based on the loyalty of the town, if it was like at 40-something percent you could train. In Drassen I have the top 3 sectors, holding off on taking the Mine sector until I am ready for the DCA. The loyalty is over 70% and I still can't train Militia.
Thanks,
Eastwoodaen

to train militia you need 20 lea (it also says ... lacks sufficiend lea to train militia) this is not stomp but ham - 40 for mobile militia
stomp changed 'mercs training mercs' - read the stomp threat could answer you question i guess
nope, that's not correct you trained them in the north-east sector as this is the only on with an aca-building (required to train militia, that works also with major military installations and the rebel hideout - the later only in aimNAS which you are obviousl referring to as in standard there are only two chitzena-sectors)
edith: that means your whole thread is basicly in the wrong subforum
judith: he did say aimNAS, but he didn't find the proper forum

EastwoodaenPakoPako,
With the latest version you have a startup ini that allows you to set whether the Weapon Caches will be random or if all will show.
*facepalm*
You know, I just couldn't equate that choice (despite it explicitly stating "SECRET. WEAPONS. CACHE.") to "random crates appearing" until just now.
