Hey all,
Still grappling with a(n old) game of 1.13, my first after several vanilla JA2 runs (a newbie, I guess).
I've reached the section where I've conquered/captured Drassen & mine, then Cambria & mine, SAMsites, Tixa, Alma, Chitzena and Balime;
I've got the quest from Yanni and in Balime got the Chalice. After a day or so (game time) I got the Chalice up to Chitzena.
Prior to this I've noticed that after getting Cambria and Alma mines, their income (based on town loyalty) rose up into the 50's %, but since killing several international terrorists and getting cash from Dancio the income from the mines has lessoned to Cambria = 35% and Alma = 45%.
No matter what quests I'd completed, Angel, Joey, Hicks, the Bloodcats, the Crepitus (Alma this time), the income always slides back from any increase.
Does opting for Dancio trigger some <<Reduce_Mine_Income>> register?
Even after getting the Chalice to Yanni, there was not much; Cambria went from 37% to 45% and Alma from 42% to 48%.
When I attack Grumm mine both those loyalty (and mine income) slide right back to C-37%, A-45%.
Is this just the game saying "This is the big leagues, tough it out" or is there some setting in the INI or .xml file I can tweak?
Ivan is a mainstay for me, but at $4500 a day I'm thinking Lynx at $2200 is a bargain, but he's weaker; Ivan can carry three weapons (mortar,sniper,assault).
And his MRK is in the 90's.
Do I have to hold gladitorial or FUN games in Cambria to boost loyalty, or buy junk from Keith? Right now I have zero presence in the town.
(In JA2 vanilla games mine income was high in all but the "played out" mine.)

I'm using a possibly older version of JA2_1.13 7609 from several years ago.
I'm not using a spy, but I have retreated from skirmishes often and then re-entered the combat sector after at another point and continued the fire-fight.
If the town's NPCs and people don't like that, I suppose that would be the reason. I have tweaked the INI and Morale and Reputation CONFIG files.
I've done that during a current game (though not while it was running  ), and didn't restart.
It's been a learning experience.
I don't know what I've fouled up by tinkering with the settings.
Now, every time I right-click the map the game gives an error and crashes; previously that would produce a sector summary.
I haven't patched or reinstalled so I might be in line to do a clean and fresh re-install.
I did find a setting: <<GAME_PROGRESS_MAX_POINTS_FROM_MINE_INCOME>> the JA2_Options config-file, but this doesn't seem to apply.
I've looked and 'searched' for MINE INCOME, no luck.
BTW, since taking Drassen, and later Chitzena, they reached 100% loyalty in both towns and have rarely varied. Only Cambria and Alma mine-incomes rises and falls through fire-fights.
After the last mine is taken one mine closes down; hope it's not Drassen.
