Hey,

Long time JA fan, since the early 90's. Recently found 1.13 and DAMN! What a hell of alot of fun!

I've read through as much material as I can, to grasp all the concepts... still wrapping my head around a few things.



FIRST

On the wiki, there is an image of the map of Alruco, It has all the event locations, like SAM sites, and Blood cats. But what does the yellow symbol mean? in H16 for example?




SECOND

I've read people's comments, and uploads of pictures, about SUPER maps, absolutely massive territories, for combat! They look totally bad ass, and clearly ALOT of work has gone into this.

My understanding is that 1.13 is mostly a GUI and general interface/gameplay upgrade (Big upgrade!) But what about maps? What's the best load out? Is there a patch like WILDFIRE, that changes all the maps for new and improved ones? How do I start using these super maps? And can I use them mid game? IE before i've even gone to some of these places?

I'm setting up for the big Drassen counter attack, I want to fight the greatest battle of all time for Alruco... on a new map would be bad ass...

Let me know please!

Hello Gargantua, Welcome to the Pit :wave:

1) Those Yellow symbols mark places where you can find Madlab, I'll leave it up to you to find out who he is and what he does the bugs are the places where 'that dude who sells the "ignore the crepitus" camoflauge' can show up.
2) Creating Big Maps is veeeery time consuming and there's currently no full set of them. There's AIMNAS though which contains improved WF maps (standard size) and a bunch of new items.

In general, any map you haven't visited can still be replaced during a campaign.

the yellow symbols are possible locations for the madlab roboter quests. the yellow symbol represents a roboter.

@maps: you can install the 1.13 wildfire mod, which changes most of the default vanilla maps and add new story and items.

if you only want new maps with default ja2 story you can just apply the wildfire maps. there is also the insane mappack available which replaces a lot of maps with really fresh maps. insane maps, because it should be played on insane

btw, welcome to the bears pit!

I guess INSANE would validate the use of the 10x sniper rifle? I'm having a hell of a time using it, AT ALL, in JA2 1.13 vanilla... I mean, clear across the map, is practically "Too Close".

Thanks guys.

Is there anyway I can save my IMP mercs, and their gear, for a refurb / restart of the game, on INSANE difficulty, with INSANE maps? You guys are the experts
