Hello, I am the new guy here, but old time JA player and fan. I've finished JA, JA Deadly Games, JA2 and JAUB. Then I stumbled on some new links and followd the MODSQUAD to a new quest. I was so thrilled to find this new JA to play, downloaded the files, got in installed and off I went. Sort of. Started out ok, then I made the mistake (I think) of killing the cops to get theyre stuff in Atremo. That was fine until they started hammering me back at the Calisto airport. If they are going to battle me for the rest of the game for what I did in Atremo, I will want to restart. IS THIS AVOIDABLE????. What a fight that was. But there is more. After winning that one, I went back to Atremo to check out a 2nd counter attack there. That was fine, but after returning to Calisto, I had aanother HUGE fight to take on COUNTLESS more cops again. Then afer winning that, I had to fight off an attempted retake by the army. Is this sector that impt????. Is this a sign of thing to come...........????? WOW.
I did not mention the hellacious fight clearing the Calisto subway. Don't get me wrong........I love it, but holy smokes this is really something now. ANYWAY, I am hooked in now for the long haul. Greeting all and hats off and thanks to the MOD SQUAD for this amazing effort.

YOU RUINED RAZOR! DAMN YOU!! I just got the merc email, hired him, and when I found out you had removed his knifing epertise (which I always modified to stealthy+knifing, as you can rarely knife without sneaking up on them first, or I just made him improve his agility alot) I reloaded. I know I can fix his skills and stats, but it says "Razor only works well with sniper rifles" so I suspect you edited one of those hidden attributes that makes mercs partial to certain types of weapons. HOW DO I FIX HIM? His persona and comments are completely unsuited to sniping.
"Bet he don't even know how ta' skin a baby!"
his endgame quote is the best of anyone's. Something about going to a neighboring country and starting something up. A foreshadowing for UB!
EDIT: oh yeah, and knives are too weak. I snuck up right behind a redshirt with my IMP (stealthy, knifing) and, using a knife, stabbed him twice, the first "wounding" him and the next taking him to critical. My IMP has a dex of 65 or something and strength of 60-70, can't remember exactly. I can ASSURE you, that if I, personally, snuck up behind somebody lying on their belly, I could kill them with a boxcutter, let alone a real fighting knife, in one or two stabs, and the only h2h training I have is rudimentary judo and HS wrestling. If they were standing, and I had snuck up behind them, I would have no trouble slitting their throat and killing them, which my IMP also failed to do once (hit the neck but did not kill). I suspect that the insta-kill afforded throwing knives and normal knives (I think) if you hit them without them seeing/hearing you in JA2 1.x was either disabled in UC somehow or is bugged.
My IMP was wounded a bit, though bandaged, so that may have done it.

I think I will copy his stuff from ja2 "gold" (in quotes because I use dvornik's WONDERFUL 1.03-1.112 patch, among others). The knives will get a damage update, as will the machetes, and I think I will give the boxcutter what the knives have now, because it would be hard to kill someone in one slash with a boxcutter, even from behind.
I love crowbar+grizzly though, 1 whack k/o.
The reason I want to fix razor is that my reasons for hiring a merc have cost effectiveness and Humor (funny lines, style, etc) tied for no. 1. So, razor, grizzly, and fidel are among my favorites while I stay away from cookiecutter mercs or gay ones like reaper. I hate reaper.
"Get shovel!" <--- best line in the game, next to Razor's endgame and some of Maddog's stuff. Actually, there are alot of mercs I've NEVER used, so I dunno.

I've found that knives kind of lose their practicality pretty early in the game. Although even in Rudesa the enemy is equipped with pistols and smg's still, the effectiveness of pistols now completely negates my motivation to stab.
Oh, and while your picking cheap mercs that can slash, take a look at MD. Not exactly hilarious, but he always comes through in a clutch for me.
