RPC list, where and how?
Tue, 31 January 2006 03:25
Greetings, I'm returning to JA2 v1.13 and forgot the location of the RPCs, I can't find a complete list anywhere, so why don't you help me build one. I do remember:
Ira - rebel bunker, will join after you talked to Miguel.
Dimitri - rebel bunker, will join after the Drassen
food quest (get food from priest).
Carlos - rebel bunker, will join when you hold alot of sectors.
Miguel - rebel bunker, will also join when you hold even more sectors.
Shank - Tixa jail, will join for 20$
Dinamo - Tixa jail, will join for some cash or for free if you insist.
Hamous - around the roads of Arulco driving his Icecream truck, you get the truck when you hire him.
Mad Dog - Estoni, don't remember if he joins for free or not.
Vince - doctor in Cambria.
Robot(?) - Elliot will tell the queen a scientist has gone missing, you find the scientist, give him a bunch of Itens and he will make a robot for you.
Conrad - Alma, arrogant guy who switches to your side if you give him alot of money.
Devin - explosive vendor at the San Mona bar, if you recruit him you loose the explosive shop, obviously.
Iggy - San Mona, appears after you take out Mike.
Did I forget anyone?
For extras: the helicopter pilot is somewhere East of Drassen, recruit him to get the helicopter.
The Hummer is directly west of Balime, with the gas guy who may refuel your trucks, more gas can be found with Jake in Estoni after you bring Shank to see him.
Then there's Tony the weapons dealer and a Blood Cat loot dealer both in San Mona.

Dealing with Kingpin
Thu, 12 January 2006 03:33
Yesterday i killed Kingpin for the first time, afterwards i searched some guides and FAQs of how it's supposed to be done and didnt find my tactic described, so i though i might share it here, and it might even end up on JA2 galaxy or a guide update or at least i'll entertain some readers.
(note that its in JA2Gold, v1.12)
First of all note that i killed Kingpin on day 5 of the game, which is only because i got my squad pretty injured when taking Chitzena.
The squad consists of my own merc, Henry (simple high MRK/AGI and a bit medical), Buzz, Thor, Steroid and Barry.
Second i stole Kingpins money from his mine when passing trough San Mona for the first time (i think that was on day 2 or 3).
Somewhere after dealing with Chitzena and healing/repairing afterwards i got his email that he wants his money back or will chase you.
The chasing is a pain in the ass if you let it come to that, but it does open Kingpin's mansion to your squad, and getting inside the house is crucial.
When getting to San Mona, speak to the fellow at the door and he'll let you in and move north of the couch in the room.
Bring in your squad, and place them all in the bathroom in the southeast of the building, make sure there are no enemies inside that room, there maybe some near the door, but none inside.
Position your forces in a straight line from the door, the squares to the right of them will make them visible to the enemy. (also do not use the square up and right of the open door, it can be shot at trough the window)
Next get your EXP expert (Barry in my case) and take about 3 TNTs with detonators (you should have about 4 or 5 if you didnt use any) with him.
Place one TNT at kingpin, timed on 4, run to the bodyguard (Devin) and place a 2nd TNT at him, timed on 3. Place another one south of the couches, left of the wall, timed at 1 (usually there'll be a lot of goons standing there). Now take Barry to the bathroom where your squad is (ASAP!), and if you have time you can even close the door.
Do this all very fast, timed such that the explosions start when your just inside the room, preferably 2 out of 3 (with Kingpins one) at the same time. It might take your 3 or 4 tries to get this right, due to movement. (Use Shift and X to get to correct locations and past enemies fast)
The explosions should take care of any goons nearby, and put Kingpin and Devin to at least critical.
Next open the door, or step one square to the right/down with your experienced merc (in my case Buzz) to take some burts shots at the closest enemies and step back. Alternately wait for them to open the door or stand in front of it, and take the Interrupts by killing them. Try to make sure there's no enemy in sight at the end of your turn, or you might get pretty screwed (definitely at this early stage of the game). Check often (every two turns or so) to see if you wont be getting 3 enemies at the same time, and if you do burst some from the spot position.
After some time they will stop advancing on the bathroom, keep using the rightmost line of squares to spot and shoot enemies, until you're sure there's noone there anymore, and crawl out. i suggest you do this prone, since there will still be some goons around the house, and maybe Kingpin and Devin are still on critical, crawl to the window on the right to take out those outside, and crawl to the middle wall with 2 mercs, and advance slowly left to spot Kingpin and shoot him down in one or two shots to the head. Same goes for Devin (who in my experience will either lie at the destroyed couches, or just outside left of the door)
Now you'll only have to mop up the area, go around buildings to sandwich enemies on the road, and crawl up to windows of the two nearby square houses, to cross burst the ones inside.
Advance on the bar from the left side, there's more trees there, and the Bar bodyguard (Spike) will be to the right of his door.
You can get very close to Spike if you come from the left side, and the goons in the bar will simply wander trough the door for your interrupts. Spike can be bursted easily.
Note that this was done on Novice, so that might make some difference, on the other hand, it's done when not even all 5 squadmembers have range20 guns.
This seems pretty good to me, although i lose the barfighting possibilities it allows me 50k early in the game, and gave me a Steyr, 2 commandos and 2 MP5-3's, along with ammo and a bit of Kevlar armor.
Visual of the bathroom set-up:
WWWWWWW
W_X5__W
D_123_W
W_SSS4W
WWWWWWW
with W=Wall, 1-5 are merc positions, X is the dangerous position that will allows shots trough the window, and the S spots are the ones that will make you look into the main room and shoot at Kingpins goons. The merc positions are safe,as are those behind them, but they allow for fewer shots.
Of course watch out with bursting your own squad.
Mercs 2 and 4 (Buzz and Custom) are best for spotting in the S spaces, while you should (at least) keep 1 and 3 for interrupts during opponents turn.
how i hate fonts with different character lengths and no spacing, anyway, write the visual on a paper, it's 7 characters long...[/edit]

How to deal with the dug in enemy
Mon, 09 January 2006 21:58
Hey,
I've just managed to take the Meduna airport but had really trouble dealing with all the troops kneeling behind the sandbag walls. They always spot you first, are almost impossible to hit and I don't seem to be able to get grenades into the enclosures.
Anyone got any tips? If you can get around the back and fire some grenades through the opening its not so bad, but what if you can't do this?
Cheers,

Logistics (Ammo)
Sat, 17 December 2005 13:03
Hello,
I'm just starting to play jagged alliance 2,I gave both JA2 UB and JA2 UC both a try recently.
Have them both installed.
I use the default settings of experienced (medium) difficulty,unlimited time,tons of guns,realistic. I have a decent game going using JA2,but ammunition is a problem sometimes.
With UB I found the ammunition issue worse,and with UC it's really accute.
Is there a better place to get ammo other than finding it? Can you buy ammo somehow?
Cheers

Gaining AGI: An Easier Way
Sat, 10 December 2005 21:18
Greets,
I've been reading through this board and noticed no one seems to realize that you can gain AGI through this way.
Go to a nice empty sector with some civillians (preferbly a farm area). And attack one of them. Let them run off your sight and do Done until you go back to real-time mode.
Find that civillian again, when you spot him, go to stealth mode, make sure not to get too close, and simply spend your APs going back and forth in a line (Try to maintain around 6-8 squares away from the civ or he will get up and run away, annoying to chase).
Safe, easy way to raise AGI for those stat freaks among us (I'm one of them).
However, I do have a question: the cows don't seem to respawn in JA2 Gold v1.12? No more STR/DEX for me? T_T

How To Avoid Getting Hit By Tank-Shells!
Fri, 09 December 2005 22:00
The most players who are encountering a tank in the game almost eveytime gets stressed and annoyed because of the heavily and deadly arsenal the tank wields. Probably someone in this forum has screamed out loud when encountering a tank without Heavy Weapons, getting blasted to bits.
But there is a quite effective tactic to avoid getting blasted to atoms by the cannon.
This is how it works:
The tanks cannon mostly relies on "collateral damage", the damage that

Another way to improve your IMP
Fri, 09 December 2005 07:40
Hey Guys,
well it ain't clever - at least not much -, but in my recent game I just found a way to notch up your IMP.
Just set - via your favourite editor, such as Pro-Edit - your IMPs need for sleep to a low level. Three worked just fine for me. (I am kind of a night person with nearly no need for sleep, and so should be my IMP  )
Really effective, 'coz he's able to repair and heal (walk of course too) much more. E.g. after a long march, when all the others are sleeping, he's tidying things up, get's a hour of sleep, and is finished as soon as the others awake (and till then it's a looong time, at least if you're playing with Igor and Ivan  )
It's cheap, isn't it? But it works fine, also for gaining levels. And I don't really consider it as cheating.
So what do you think?
