Jagged Alliance FAQ Version 2.1 by: Dzwo-Ren Li I think this document should worth the name "FAQ" now. I think most of the information are what I want to know when I played "Jagged Alliance" first time, maybe other people want to know these too. So I creat this document to help whoever needs help. Table of Content: I. Introduction II. Suggestion for Novice Players III. Trouble Shooting IV. Items Information V. Sectors Information VI. Q & As VII. Miscellaneous Information VIII. Suggestion for Veteran Players ( Later, see explanation ) I. Introduction: "Jagged Alliance" is a game created by "Madlab Software" and distributed by "Sir-Tech". The technical support line for "Sir-Tech" is (315) 393-6644, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm ( USA, EST ). If you have any trouble in getting this game to work, this is the number you should try. Any attempt to find the answer in this document might fail. If you have e-mail address and you have any question ( or suggestion ) about this game, you can try to mail to: Brenda Garno < 76711.33@CompuServe.COM > She or someone else will be glad to help you. If you have any suggestion that you wish to see something, say, in Jagged Alliance 2, then this is the address that you should send the information to. "Sir-Tech" has provided a patch for this game. The file name is "Ja111.zip". Version is 1.11, please do not use version 1.1 because they said it is not a good one. You can find this file by: http://wcl-rs.bham.ac.uk/GamesDomain/patches/ja111.html or get it directly from FTP sites: ftp.cdrom.com:pub/dresden/games/patches/ja111.zip ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de:pub/ms-dos/games/patches/ja111.zip ftp.cis.nctu.edu.tw:Games/dresden/patches/ja111.zip According to "Sir-Tech", the version 1.12 is the same one as the version 1.11. The reason for them to put the 1.12 instead of 1.11 is a little bit hard to understand for me ( commercial reason? ). This game is only available as a CD version by now. The system required to run the game is: IBM compatible PC, 486DX-33 or better 4MB RAM ( minimum ), 8MB ( recommended ) CD-ROM driver 15 - 25 MB HDD space, 38 MB ( recommended ) ( I personally recommend 50 MB if you want to keep all the animation and other stuff. ) DOS 5.0 or better Mouse 256 color VGA Sound Support: Ad-Lib, Sound Blaster family, Pro Audio Spectrm, GUS, Roland LAPC-1/MT-32, MPU401-interface General MIDI Rumor ( just rumor ) has it, "Sir-Tech" might release a disk version which will not have all the speech ( from Brenda Garno ). Also, someone said "Sir-Tech" is working on a "modem" version ( Jagged Alliance - head to Head ) sequel which can let you play with your friend ( Charles, Sir-Tech Software ). I don't know much about these rumors now. ( Someone said in Swedan, there is a Disk Version couple weeks before the CD version get there, I don't know whether the Disk Version is authorized by Sir-Tech or not. ) There is also a DEMO in the net. "GamesDomain" and "HappyPuppy" ( WWW ) both has it. Also, several major FTP sites have this DEMO. The DEMO version has an unique sector ( other than our 60 ) for you and only six fixed mercenaries for you. There is no speech but has the "OK" response. If you don't have the access to either WWW or FTP sites, I do believe "PC Gamer" ( the one with a CD-ROM in each issue ) has this one in the CD-ROM in July, 1995. I created the first version of this document on July 4th ( Ver. 1.0 ) which contains only 3 parts: Sectors Information, Items list, and the Encrypted Codes. Then, Peter Kuesters < UZS240@IBM.rhrz.uni- bonn.de > started to provide his information about this game. Then I had the modified version ( 1.1 ) on July 9th which adds 2 more parts: Q & As and Miscellaneous Stuffs. Version 2.0 has been re-organized and adds more Q & As and an advice for novice players. This is the version 2.1 which adds a Trouble Shooting section, more Q & As and modify some information ( please check by yourself, just a quick browse ). And, I decide to take out the "mini" because this document is no longer a "mini" one. For the record, I did not take out any information from old version. So, you can just keep the latest version and throw those old version away. I still lack the information about the trouble shooting. This part is difficult to build because most of the players did not have problem in getting it to run. Whenever there is a player who can not make the game to run and can't get it to work even after following the instruction in the quick reference, most of them can not be solved. I really can not help here. I had problems in getting my game to work too. All I had done was merely "by-passing" every possible problems. I don't know whether this will work for everyone, but it works for me. Please check it out in section 3 ( Trouble Shooting ). From version 2.0, I intend to separate those spoiler information from the general non-spoiler advice. So, if you are the person who doesn't want to watch those spoilers before you finish your game, then you can just look at those general advice then stop at the "Warning" sign. Special Note: Peter Kuesters is currently the best player of all. Just check his record then you will agree with me. He promised to provide an advice for the veteran players, but unfortunately, he will not be available until mid-October ( Business, I guess ). So, that part will be delayed till he comes back. If anyone wants to provide any information about this game which is not included in this document, here is my e-mail addresses: < li@chem_petro.engr.ukans.edu > ( preferred ) or < ren@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu > I thank all the following persons for providing information about this game ( though some of them might never know about this ): ( In random order ) * Peter Kuesters < UZS240@IBM.rhrz.uni-bonn.de > Torbj|rn Lindgren < tl@ae.chalmers.se > RICHARD KENAN < eefacdk@prism.gatech.edu > Laurant Pierre < lxp@wg.icl.co.uk > * Carsten Engelmann < engel@yacc.central.de > Eugene V Kalinin < ekalinin@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu > Jean-Marc Tanzi < jmt@legend.cma.fr > John Abel < J.Abel@az05p.bull.com > C.C.C.

Franz Pestenhofer < pestl@cublx1.cube.net > And, also for those who has posted the info in the news that I saw it but forgot to keep it ( I just remember the content ). Mr. John Abel had made real nice Mercs' tables in Excel 5.0 format. I think he will be glad to share this table with all of you. I decide to use Mr. Tanzi's table in Section 7 ( Miscellaneous Information ) because I am a little bit lazy in converting Mr. Abel's table into text ( sorry, John ). Because I don't know what to do, I could not make this document available in any FTP sites. If you know what to do, any help will be welcome. For the WWW, Hakan Tandogan < hakan@speedy.franken.de > has kindly provided his homepage to carry this document at: http://www.franken.de/users/speedy/hakan/hobbies/daddel/ja ( There is a pretty good, user friendly, editor in this homepage. If you are frustrated after many tries, "jaedit15" is the program you need. ) Other WWW sites ( GamesDomain & Gamer's Ledge ): http://wcl-rs.bham.ac.uk/Gamesdomain/faqs http://www.medio.net/users/mgodsey/games.html Other than this, you can either download it from NewsGroups or send me an e-mail requesting for this. You will be welcome to send this document to whoever wants it as long as no $$$$$ is involved. If you really feel this document helps you solve your problem(s), an e-mail to me will be glad. I will try to send the newer version ( if any ) to you when it is available. There is a Strategic Guide ( not FAQ ) in CompuServe. The author is Wade. D. Glasscock < 76153.2466@Compuserve.com >. If you have access to this network, you may want to have a look at it. If you have the WWW access, then you can try GamesDomain: http://wcl-rs.bham.ac.uk/GamesDomain/faqs/ja.html I had reviewed this guide. The spoiler and non-spoiler information are all mixed together. If you don't want the spoiler, please consider carefully before you look at it. There are some mistakes, especially like "Spectral Shield too heavy" stuffs. But, generally, the suggetions in this guide are good for Novice Players. You may have different oppinions after you gather some experience for yourself. Finally, some announcement: "Jagged Alliance" is a registered trademark of "Sir-Tech Software, Inc." The application software and logos, etc. are all Copyrighted by "Sir-Tech Software, Inc." II. Suggestion for Novice Players: Congratulation you just got a good game ( in most people's opinions ) for yourself. Before you start, let's talk about something that might not mention in the manual or not emphasis in the manual. The Final Goal of this game is to win the island back for Jack. Base on this, you have to make a lot of choices to run your campaign. The way you run this campaign will definitely influence the outcome. So, you must decide what do you want to do before you really start it. The first thing I will suggest you to do is studying the "Mercenary Profiles at a Glance" which is in game manual pp. 46 & 47. This is the most important part of the document ( no kidding )! There are always some mercs who suit your game playing style. Don't ask any people about "what is the starting team of yours" stuffs, the best combination is purely based on your style. Some mercs can let your team works fine, some might just waste your money and contribute nothing. The choice is yours. Here are some tips in choosing your team ( base on the priority ): (1) Marksmanship: You want to finish your enemy as soon as possible, so a higher marksmanship merc is more useful than a lower one. Higher than 90 is the best, 80 - 90 is good, 70 - 80 is OK, 60 - 70 is still acceptable, and below 60, you had to think about it for more than once. Once you start the game, you can tell the difference. According to this, you should consider Ivan. Fidel, and Ice at the beginning. For others, you must consider their other skills ( versatility ). (2) Agility: This is the main factor to determine how many APs he/ she can get. Usually, the older ones will have lower Agility, so I never consider them. Best choice is over 88. If not, over 80 is still OK. You must reconsider when it is below 80. (3) Salary: The fund at the beginning is limited. If you can not do the things well, you will face some financial problem couple days later. So, make plan on Day 1 is very important. (4) Medical, Explosive, Mechanics: These are in the same order. You do need someone to bandage the wounded guys, so at least one person with some Med. knowledge is necessary. If you are doing pretty well ( cautious player ) you may not need those high Med. guys because these guys are always expensive. Someone with 20 - 40 in Medical skill should be good enough. Disarm Explosive is pretty tricky. The higher the skill the better. But, this doesn't guarantee he/she can always disarm an Explosive safely when his/her skill is very high. 40 is the minimum requirement. 80 or even 90 is highly recommended. Mechanic part is tricky too. This one can be divided into two parts: at home or in the field. For at home, there are some other factors, Dex., Wis., must be considered too. To make it short, Sparky or Speck is the best choice for this. For in the field, you might want he/she has more APs, higher Mar., and maybe some other skills because this person might need to fight as well as picking locks. Vinney becomes a pretty good bargain at the beginning. Later on, you might want to consider Boss, Static, or even Magic ( the best choice, let Mike do this job is a waste, you only need Mike to pick lock very late in the game ). Mechanical skill over 80 is highly recommended. (5) HPs, Wisdom: No brainer for the HPs. There is no evidence for the influence of Wisdom, but obviously, the higher the better. If you still can not decide whom to choose, here is my suggestion: Fidel ( Explosive ), Ivan, and Ice for shooting. Bud for shooting and field Doc. Vinney for field mech. Wolf will be a good all around player but you will encounter some problems with him if you are not doing well. I recently discard him from my starting list. He is still a good choice for novice player. Then, you might want to hire Sparky ( a little better than Speck ), Fox ( Doctor ), and Smoke ( backup Explosive expert ) on Day 2. Other than these, Larry seems to be a good Doctor + Bomb Dude at the beginning. Beth is also a nice choice for cheap field doc and fast girl. Snake seems to be a good shooter plus a Camo-U-Flage at the beginning. Still, you must remember, only you can decide who is the best choice for your team. ( Note: Ice might not join you after Day 1 if you did not do well. ) It is a good thing to leave one space vacant. Then, Jack will offer you native guide the second day. The guide is free and he will also provide some information about the sector first time your team enters it. All four guides have different special skills. But don't expect them to kill many enemies for you. There are some things you should pay attention for if you are still not familiar with all the system: (1) How to get the "Doctor" or "Repair" option at the beginning of the day. Just put the Medical Kit or Tool Kit in the right hand of the person and get back to the screen. You will find these two options are available after you have done this. Note: Always use 100% kit! (2) Press the "tree" icon at the beginning of the day to know where are the four processing plants. You will need a good plan to get these plants. Make your plan on Day 1! (3) When your team travels to the other sector, there is a possibility that you will be in pretty severe situation ( bad luck ), so you might want to "quick save" before you enter the other sector. The positions of the enemy are not always the same, so a few trails might improve the situation. If you use the "Alt-X" instead of "quick save", then the position of the enemies are the same. (4) Since the combat is "turn-base", you should have a good look at the whole sector when you enter it. It doesn't cost any time and you will be able to arrange your plan to attack this sector. Of course, you have to assume where the enemy might be. Once you are familiar with the symbol in the island map, you could probably tell most of the terrain about the unknow sectors just from the map. This could be helpful when you decide which part is the best position to enter that sector. The map is identical to the real terrian. (5) The AI will be different in different level. But, there are one common thing for all the levels: The enemy will response to all the gun shot. If you are playing easy level, the enemy might not take cover all the time and if you try to lure him, he will probably response to that. In harder level, the enemy will take cover all the time and might not come out of the door if he feels it is not safe to do that. In such case, you will need to have a good plan to get them. Becareful when you are chasing an enemy. There might be an ambush by other enemy. (6) Always try to use several mercenaries to kill a single enemy. The more enemies involve in a battle, the higher chance your mercs get shot. Even a "Critical" condition enemy can fire at your guys and sometimes that will be a very lucky shot! So, don't risk at all. Don't try to kill a "Critical" enemy by walking out of a cover. Your merc might miss and enemy will have easy shot at this guy. Caution: If your merc(s) involve in a battle too long, i.e. the enemy can shoot at the same guy for many times, there is a pretty good chance your merc(s) will get hit even he/she is well covered behind something. (7) The amount of the ammos is limited. Don't shoot your enemy when you have no idea whether you have a line of sight or not. Just don't waste your ammos unless you do it on purpose. Beware of this then you will always have enough ammos to play. (8) Always let your mercs hide behind a cover. There is no sure cover at all. If you can see an enemy, you can shoot him. So does he! Hiding behind a tree will not guarantee the safety. Bush is the same. But, at least it is better to hide behind something than wild open. If the enemy shoots your guy, you can try to shoot back immediately. This is because there got to be some space for the bullet to pass. (9) Had better always reserve 2 APs for your merc to Crouch. That will reduce a lot of the chances of injury. Don't know what is the exact difference between Crouch and non-Crouch, but the difference is pretty obvious when you are playing with or without it. Crouch behind a bush is probably the best cover you can get. ( Check out the route before you really move him/her. See the manual about how to do it. ) (10) There are a lot of traps in Metavira. You will probably encounter this problem from Day 2. The only sure thing is let the Explosive expert try to disarm it while in real time ( "quick save" before doing it ). (11) All the items you can find in the game have some certain usage. If you can not find the way to use it, then read the items list in next section. Most of them are simple: A + B => C. Maybe more: C + D => E. Sometimes specail skill is essential in doing this. Hint: Explosive expert is good in making bomb items. Mechanical expert is good in combining and modifying items. (12) All the processing plants in enemy hand have detonators. You must use silencers to take those sectors. If you can find the detonator, then you might use weapons without silencer after you disarm the detonator. ( This is the only spoiler in this section. ) (13) Beware of the performance of your team. Check your "team info" while you are contacting the A.I.M., you will see some detail information about your team's performance. Some mercs will not join your team if you fire too many mercs ( turnover rate ) or have too many causalities ( Are you Dr. Death? ). The interactive of the mercs will be significant if these two factors are taken into account. Also, you can see the difficulty setting at the upper right corner in this screen. (14) The first sector you want to start might be sector 50. This one is pretty easy and has a lot of trees to hide. Almost the enemy will be always in the north part in this sector so you will not have big trouble in winning. Suppose you plan to take 3 sectors on day 1, you can attack S50 -> S49 -> S59. Then you can arrange 4 guards in S49 & S50 while you are attacking S59. Never leave a sector without any guard! (15) Beware of the condition of a merc. Low breath ( BLUE BAR ) will cause a lot of trouble. Non-bandaged wound will keep bleeding. Read carefully about the special warning in the manual p. 32. And, after a merc is hit, his/her breath will decrease as well as the health. (16) The enemy can launch an attack at your sector across the water, but your guard won't be able to swim to a water unless this sector is "safely" linked to your home sector. ( See the manual for the explanation about this. ) Be sure to put 8 fuards for every sector adjacent to any enemy sector no matter this sector is connected by land or separate by water. You might want to put couple guards in secondary lines so that you can reinforce a sector which has survived an enemy attack. * (17) A "Q & A" for Novice Player: How can I find those things behind a tree or something? A: If you are close enough or it is dropped by an enemy, you can always use the "Ins" key to toggle to an overview ( of all sector ). In this view, all the items that are "visible" to you will be a flashing dot! Right click the mouse on the dot will bring you to that position in previous screen. To check it out, press and hold "Ctrl" key to get the hand cursor. A pickable item will cause the hand to become "red". (18) Always use the items with the best condition. 100% gun, 100% lock kit, 100% Grenade, 100% whatever. If you are using a first aid or medical kit "in the field", then it doesn't matter. But, when you are using it at home ( Medical kit and Tool kit ), then this does matter. The higher the condition of the items, the less likely you get into trouble. A 100% item never get you into trouble. (19) If the item has a number in the lower right corner, then you can try to put it with other same thing in one pocket. Some items ( Ex: ammos ) can put up to 5 in the same pocket. * (20) Study the "quick reference" for the control methods. You will find this study pay off later. I think I already provide too many information for novice player. Just remember one thing: record whatever you think is useful and plan before you launch an attack. You need to try many things before you have a better idea of this game. One more thing: your enemy are those "red" guys! Don't shoot at those "blue" or "yellow" guys. Mercs are in "green". Guards are in "blue". Tappers in "Yellow". Bad guys in "RED"! This has been explained very clear in the manual, but obviously too many people did not read manual before starting the game. Too many people had made this mistake at their first trial. Hope you are not one of them. III. Trouble Shooting This section is really a tough one! I will do my best to help all of you. Offical Trouble Shooting: ( Partly quoted from Sir-Tech ) 1. Low XMS memory will not let the program run. You must make sure you have enough memory to run the program. For 4 MB RAM, you can only run the game by "JAVM.BAT" but it won't run as fast as usual. I can not remember the exact minimum RAM to start by "JAVM.BAT", it seems to be about 3.5 MB. ( Brenda mentioned this in the net once. ) 2. Many people had reported having problem with "SMARTDRV" running. Sir-Tech suggests to turn it off before you run the game. ( My problems never come from SMARTDRV. ) 3. If the game "freeze" or "lock-up", you can try to hit "ESC" or press "CTL-F"(?). This might not work. If you still can not solve the problem by doing this, you are welcome to call Sir-Tech Technical Support at (315) 393-6644 ( USA ) at the time mentioned in "Introduction" section. Some people suggested to disable the "EMM386" if your program won't run. I can't imagine how can they do it because I was always low in RAM before I can start the program. Here are my problems and how I solved ( not really ) them: 1. The game won't start at all. It just keep telling me that I need to configure the sound before I run the program. I swear I did that for a dozen times but it just kept asking me to set the sound. Possible Reason: Sir-Tech did not verify this after I sent them this idea. I think the program can not recognize the special program for the old IDE card. I am using an 850 MB HDD with an old IDE card. That required a special program to let DOS recognize the HDD. I think the game program can not recognize this special program in BOOT sector so it refuse to creat a new file in this drive ( while in the setting section ). Solution: I brought the CD to a friend's house. Installed the game in his machine. Copied the suspicous file "sound.cfg" back to my home. Then, it worked! I can even modify the setting in this file. 2. The game will let the computer down ( need to "reset" it ) after "Exit to DOS". Possible Reason: No idea. Solution: Don't know what's wrong with this so I avoid to quit the game in the control room ( before sleep ). I always "exit" the game in the day time by hitting "Alt-X". This way, the DOS will still work. 3. The "Enemy Turn" message seems to stay forever. Explanation: The longer this message means the more enemies in this sector. But, sometimes, this message is ridiculous long when you compare it to other turns that you have waited. Possible Reason: No idea. Solution: Try to hit the "Alt-X" or "Alt-R". In this way, the program seems to have some "Interrupt" to these response. You will get the screen asking you to confirm the choice. Just hit "No" to let it go back to the program. Sometimes this still not work, then you have to really "Alt-X" ( quit to DOS ) and re-start the game again. Believe me, after doing this, the message will end very soon. 4. The game hangs obviously while someone pick an item ( in the Inventory screen ). Possible Reason: Program bug. When you use the "auto-scroll" your mouse cursor will be in the edge. But, anyone picks up an item will automatically bring you to the Inventory screen of that person, thus the program lost the mouse cursor so you can not put the item into any pocket. The program hangs at this time. Solution: DO NOT ask two persons to pick two different items at the same time then moving your mouse for "auto-scroll". This bug happens all the time if you have A to pick up A1, then ask B to pick up B1, then you want to monitor some place so move the mouse to scroll the screen ( especially "up" ). Avoid this then you will be happy. Otherwise, "Reset computer" is the only solution for you. 5. Guards M.I.A.? Explanation: Sometimes at the day times, I need to move the guards into a newly gained sector in 2 or 3 batches. There could be a batch of guards just keep showing the sign of "moving" ( light blue ) till the day ends. They never arrived! They are missing even the next day started. Also, they are not counted in the Native Deaths pool. Just M.I.A. Possible Reason: Program bug. I guess there is a flag missing or something like that. I never reported this problem to Sir-Tech. If I do a lot of "quick save" after I move the guards and also use some "quick restore" after a bad start in next sector before these guards arrived, the problem might occured. Solution: None. Just keep monitoring the situation of the guards in Guard Management screen ( not all the time ). Wait until the guards arrive before you launch another attack. If you still have to attack the next sector ASAP, then try limit the times of "Quick Save" and "Quick Restore" might reduce the chance of this situation to happen. * * * * * * * * Warning: Spoilers from now on * * * * * * * * IV. Items Information When you want to use an ( usable ) item in the field, like grenade, medical kit, lock kit, live explosive, or wall probe, just put the item in the main hand then "use it". You should see a symbol of these items ( red cross, key, bomb, wall probe ). Move the symbol to where you want to use this item and then left click the mouse. If the position is a rightful place to use this item, this symbol will become a "red" one, check this out before you use it. Radio: Not very important. ( Someone said you only need one radio in your team. ) Extended Ears: Hear noise farther than normal. Have those better guys wear this thing. Put it in the position of "radio". Canteen: Need 5 APs. Increase Breath ( Blue Bar ) significantly while it is under 80%. Just put it in the head of the silhouette in the "Inventory" screen. Not the picture! Will automatically re-fill in the morning in version 1.11, will disappear in version 1.0 after you use it up. Beer: Same as Canteen. Camo-U-Flage: Put it in the body will last about 2 days that may cause enemy harder to see you and "shoot" you. Use it the same way as the Canteen. ( In "Inventory" screen ) First Aid Kit: Need explain? Medit Kit: Ditto. Need to put it in right hand on whichever guy you want him/her to be a doctor that day. The option of "Doctor" will only show up in such condition. Note: Had better use 100% kit every day. Can use either at home or field. Tool Kit: Use it to repair items. Also need to put in right hand, then the "Repair" option will show up. Note: Had better use those 100% kit every day. Also, it can only be used at home for repair purpose. Lock Kit: To open a locked door. Did not see any difference between a 100% kit and not 100% kit. Though too low ( like 50% ) might cause problem. Rock: Throw it to get the attention of enemy. If they did not find you, they might go to the place of the Rock to check it out. You can ambush them then. A rock can also be thrown into a door. Bad guys may come out of the door. This thing is not that good in HARDER level since enemy has better AI in this level. Silencer: Attached with Colt .45 & 9mm Beretta. Will reduce the sound of the gun shot. Other enemy might not hear the battle here. A modified .357 Magnum can use this device too. Sniper Scope: Attached with 9mm Beretta, .357 Magnum, .12G Rifle, M14, and M16. Will provide more precise shooting. Metal Detector: Can detect items underground ( most of the time ). Has a limited range ( 2-3 squares away ). Wall Probe: Can hear and determine the status of the enemy in the other side of the wall. May detect enemy TWO walls behind! Sometimes might hear the important message! Could make mistake: I once detect a never exist enemy! ( Might be a bug. ) Crowbar: Used to open Crates and Chest. Sometimes for the door ( not sure about this one ). Need stronger, healthier, and more breath ( BLUE BAR ) mercenary to do it. Will deteriorate graduately. Camera: ? Alarm Clock: ? ( Maybe like detonator. ) 2-5 Pockets Vest: Provide the ability to carry item(s). Helmet: Provide 5% protection. Kevlar Helmet: Provide 10% protection. Kevlar Vest: Provide 20% protection on the body. Most of the time, the hit position is on the body! Spectra Shield: Provide 40% protection. Prevent damage from most hand gun and Shot Gun. Ultra Shield Vest: Provide 20% additional protection. But, can not wear pocket vest at the same time. Can not combine with Compound-17. Compound-17: Combine with Armor will increase the protection by 50% ( Treated Armor ). Note: In order to provide a sufficient protection against a hand gun with a direct hit, you need the protection up to about 25%. ( Minimum requirement: Treated Kevlar Vest ) But, each hit will still reduce the condition of armor and merc's breath. Chunk of Steel: Make a weapon becomes a modified one. Must let those High Mechanical skill person do it. Note: Beware of the restriction. The low mechanical skill person not only can't do it, but also will damage the weapon. Sun Goggle: Provide better marksmanship(?). Gas Mask: Provide protection from Tear Gas or Mustard Gas. Glass Jar: Use to make "Molotov Cocktail". Gas Tank: Make "Molotov Cocktail" or "Eagle" items. Oil: Make "Molotov Cocktail" or "Eagle" items. Rag: Make "Molotov Cocktail" or "Eagle" items. Note: You will need a bomb dude to combine the following items ( the Molotov Cocktail and Eagle items ). Also, the sequence is very important! Molotov Cocktail: Glass Jar + Gas + Oil + Rag. Will work like a Grenade. Eagle Fearball: Gas + Oil + Rag + Grenade. Must install like an Explosive. Double Grenade effect. Eagle Screamer: Gas + Oil + Rag + Tear Gas. Must install like Explosive. Double Tear Gas effect. Eagle Silencer: Gas + Oil + Rag + Stun Grenade. Must install like Explosive. Double Stun Grenade effect. Eagle Dog: Gas + Oil + Rag + Mustard Gas. Must install like Explosive. Double Mustard Gas effect. Grenade: Throw it for explode purpose. Make direct damage. Will destroy a wooden door. Tear Gas: Throw it to spread an area with tear gas. Will last 1 to 3 turns. Continuously inhale it will cause the breath ( blue bar ) to decrease. Won't work when Gas Mask is used. Stun Grenade: Throw it for slight explode ( -1 HP ) and reduce about 50% breath! A continuous one will cause the victim lies on the ground for several turns. Mustard Gas: Throw it will explode like Grenade. Also, causing some kind of continuous damage like Tear Gas or something like that. Gas Mask can prevent the damage from the second part, but not sure about the explosion part. ( Need additional info here. ) It won't blow away wooden door like Grenade. Detonator: Will make the Explosive "alive". Explosive: Must combine Detonator to work. C4: Like Explosive, must combine Detonator to work. Live Explosive: Explosive + Detonator. Need to set and wait a short time. Will open metal door, wall, tree. Live Plastic: C4 + Detonator. Works like Live Explosive. Can't tell the difference ( waterproof? ). Mine: Install to the ground. ( I never use it. ) Knife: Use to kill the opponent next to Grunt. Grunts will automatically use it when he/she was attacked by snake in water. Caution: If the knife is not in his/her main hand when attacked by snake, it will take 1 - 2 turns to get the knife to the main hand. This could be detrimental! Combat Knife: Better knife than Knife. ( How good? ) S & W .38: Worst gun you can get. Need a lot of APs. .38 ammo: 6 bullets box. Colt .45: Much better weapon in early stage. But, not good enough. Can combine with Silencer. ( Never try the modified one. ) .45 ammo: 6 bullets clip. 9mm Beretta: Good hand gun. Shoot faster and better. Can use it in short range even in Sector 1. Can combine with Silencer or Sniper Scope. 9mm ammo: 15 bullets clip. .357 Magnum: Most powerful hand gun. Can combine with Sniper Scope. But a modified Magnum can also combine with a Silencer. .357 ammo: 10 bullets box. .12G Shot Gun: Good when opponents are still using hand guns. .12G ammo: 6 bullets box. .12G Rifle: Better in early stage. Can replace .12G Shot Gun. Can combine with Sniper Scope. Using the same ammos as Shot Gun. Note: As my note in sectors, this thing will show up when you get the .12G Shot Gun. That makes the SG almost useless. M14: Next to the best weapon. Can combine with Sniper Scope. M14 ammo: 20 bullets clip. M16: Best weapon. Can combine with Sniper Scope. A modified M16 could make damage even when the opponent is wearing Spectra Shield or Ultra shield. Only the Treated Spectra Shield can prevent the damage ( partly ) from this thing. M16 ammo: 20 bullets clip. Lab Coat: Let you know that Brenda is already been kidnapped. Blouse: Let you know Brenda is near. Bloody Bra: Let you know Brenda is here. Don't know why they use a bloody "BRA"? Note: "Lab Coat", "Blouse", and "Bloody Bra" can use like "Rag" in those combined items. Paper: Give you some hints about the game. Not very important. You can ignore all these and still finish the game. Combine the torn pieces will give you a combo for opening the safe and get Brenda's Journal inside. Flowers: Rumor these 4 flowers are the cure ( Antidote ) of the virus of Fallow Trees. I never use them. Money: $$$ will automatically added to your pool at the end of the day. I never have the problem of someone disappear with $$$. Need someone to tell everybody about such experience. Special Note: There ared some special items like, SmokeBall, Eagle SmokeBall, Gas Detector via editor. I have no idea of what are these and how to find/use them. V. Sectors Information: General Notes for this section: (1) The information may not complete. (2) "*" in front of a sector means this sector may have some important object(s) or mission(s) at that stage. Which means, the object may not be important later. (3) The entry position of the sector is written in abbreviated form. "N/S" means I think either from "North" or "South" doesn't make any difference, although I feel N is better than S. "N-W" means from "North" but had better in the "western" part which means actually: "NW". (4) All the Crates and Boxes ( those yellow ones ) will be counted as "Crates". I did not list the "drawers". Some of the "Crates" are actually empty, I still list them because it is a little bit difficult to remember which one is empty :P. I don't want to confuse all of you because I can not remember all of them. (5) Items list in the sector without "parentheses" means they are not found in the crates, maybe in open area, maybe in drawer. Items list in "parentheses" means these items are somewhat important and I think it should be mentioned even you will always find them in the crates. I guess you will always open the crates, won't you? Some important items list in the sector with "B" in "parentheses" right behind these item(s) means you may get them from those bad guys. Although sometimes this doesn't happen. (6) "Traps" means both "Mines" and "Detonators". ( You should understand what I mean. ) (7) All the keys are not so important so I did not list any of them. (8) The condition of the items are not so important so I did not list them. (9) Please forgive me for any typo. Sectors Information: S60: Helmet, Tool Kit, Knife, 4 Pocket Vest, Crowbar, S & W .38, and .38 ammos. *S59: 9 Crates, Crowbar. ( N ) Note: If you did not find Micropurifier in Sector 50, then it should be in this Sector. S58: 3 Crates, Crowbar, Metal detector (B). ( N ) S57: 1 Crate, Extended Ears ( B ). ( E ) Note: If there are only 3 or less than 3 bad guys, the Extended Ears may not exist. Also, very dangerous to open the doors here. S56: 7 Crates ( 2 Grenades, Live Plastic, C4, Camo, C-17 ), Ultra Shield. ( E/N ) Note: May need Grenade or Explosive to open the second door safely. S55: 1 Crate. Spectra Shield ( B ). ( N-E ) Note: May need at least 1 Grenade to take care of those bad guys in SE corner. Otherwise, .... Also, have someone swim to the island from East maybe helpful. *S54: Third Processing Plant. 2 Crates, Tool Kit, Kevlar Helmet, Lock Kit ( B ), 2 C-17, Mod. Beretta ( B ). ( N/E ) Note: Detonator(s)? May need one explosive to open the SE door. I had taken this plant with ".12G Rifle" without plant been sabotaged ( only once ). S53: 5 Crates, Crowbar, Mod. Magnum ( B ), Chunk of Steel. Traps in west of bridge and west of island. ( W ) Note: May need explosive to open the door safely. S52: 4 Crates ( Lots of $$$, Spectra Shield ). ( W ) *S51: 3 Crates ( M16 ), lots of Traps ( at least 47 ). ( N ) *S50: Micropurifier ( B ), 6 Crates ( Colt .45 ammos ). ( S ) Note: Sometimes you did not find the Micropurifier in this sector. In such case, just take Sector 59. It will be there. Carsten Engelmann said he found this thing in S49 in his last game. I think this is just a very rare case. S49: 15 Crates, Chunk of Steel. ( Wall Probe? ) ( E-S ) S48: 12 Crates(?) ( .12G ShotGun ). ( N-E ) Note: There are a lot of traps near the crate of SG. S47: 3 Crates. Lots of traps in the west part ( at least 19 ).

S45: 12 Crates, C-17 ( B ), Metal Detector. Lots of Traps. ( ) S44: 9 Crates. Spectra Shield, 2 Camo 50% ( B ). ( S/N ) S43: Nothing important. ( E ) S42: 12 Crates ( M14 ). ( N-W ) Note: You will need a lot of time to get this one. Maybe use an Explosive to open some passway will be a better idea. *S41: 3 Crates ( M16 ). Lots of traps all over the places. ( N ) *S40: 9 Crates ( 9mm Beretta, 9mm ammos, .357 magnum ammos ), .357 magnum. ( S ) Note: Take this sector on Day 1 will make your life easier. If you are playing in Harder level, this sector is a key point for Day 1. Save your first Chunk of Steel for this .357 Magnum. Magnum in the open area in the east. The ammos are in the crate on island. S39: 7 Crates, Metal Detectors ( B ). 5 Traps. ( E-N ) ( Sorry for the error in previous versions. I knew there are 3 other crates, ammo, empty, and explosive, in the northern part, but for some reason, I forgot to count them. ) S38: Items ( Sun Goggle, Kevlar Vest & Helmet, 2 1st Aids ) in house. ( E ) Note: This is probably the first sector that you met an enemy with those long range weapons ( .12G ), be careful. *S37: 5 Crates ( 4 Silencers, 9mm ammos ), .12G Rifle in woods, Crowbar, Metal Detector ( in bed ). ( E ) Note: Use a Grenade to subdue the bad guys behind the metal door then open the door and shoot them. *S36: 4 Crates ( Camo in a boobytrap crate ). 8 additional Crates on Day 9 in the morning. These special items include: .12G Shot Gun, .357 Magnum, 2 Grenades, Mines, and Ammos. ( E-N ) S35: Ultra Shield Vest ( B ), Camo ( B ). ( I did not remember these two items. ) Traps in South. ( E/N/W ) *S34: 7 Crates ( M14 ). ( S/E ) Note: Need to enter this sector at least twice. *S33: 9 Crates ( M14 ). 6 Traps in west of island. South bridge has trap. ( E/S ) S32: 2 Crates, ( 5 ) Canteens. Traps between houses & to the west. ( E ) *S31: Fourth Processing Plant. 5 Crates. ( E ) *S30: Water Poisoning mission. 9 Crates, Gas Tank, Glass Jars, Extended Ears ( B ). ( W-S ) *S29: Water Poisoning mission. 6 Crates. ( S-middle/S-W ) Note: May need 1 Grenade for the bad guys in the middle. *S28: Brenda's new lab. $3,000 hidden ( must use metal detector ). 10 Crates ( knife, ammos, medit kit ) ( E/S ) Note: Most annoying sector in the game. Had better take it later in the game. *S27: Second Processing Plant. 4 Crates, Camo, Spectra Shield ( B ). ( S ) Note: Need lots of Silencers ( from S37 ). There must be a second detonator in this sector. May need 2 Grenades. S26: 9 Crates ( lots of ammos ), Extended Ears ( in crate? ). Bridges will explode. ( S ) S25: 5 Crates, Compound-17. ( N-E/E/S ) Note: Need a lot of times. *S24: Brenda is HERE! 5 Crates ( 3 Stun Grenades ). ( S/N ) *S23: Head Stone in island! 13 Crates, 4 Live Plastic. Traps in islands and near bridges. ( E-N then N-W, twice ) Note: Best way to get the "Head Stone" is swim to the northeast island. May need 2 explosives to take care of the bad guys staying inside those 2 northeast buildings. If you take care of the detonator will keep the bridges from exploding. S22: ? Crates, Chunk of Steel in island. Lots of traps near shore. ( S ) Note: May need 1 explosive for the southeast building. S21: 4 Crates. ( E ) S20: 6 Crates ( Spectra Shield, Kevlar Vest, Explosive, money, and Medit Kit ). 1 Trap (?). ( S ) S19: 8 Crates ( 9mm Beretta ), Explosive, Crowbar, Gas Tank, Oil, Spectra Shield ( B ). ( E/N ) S18: I don't remember I ever find the replacement. ( W-N ) S17: 8 Crates ( weapons & ammos, Chunk of Steel, C-17 ), Gas Tank, Oil, Metal Detector, Tool Kit. 6 Traps in north part. ( W ) S16: Extended Ears ( B ). Nothing in huts. ( S ) S15: 2 Crates ( .12g rifle , Extended Ears ). ( E/S ) Note: May need Explosive to open the padlock door. S14: 8 Crates ( 6 Mines, Metal Detector ). ( N-E/E-N ) Note: Use Explosive to blow the tree away. S13: 8 Crates ( M16? Ammos ). Lots of money ( > $3,500 ) in the clothes hang on the wall. ( W-N ) Note: May need "Rock" to lure the bad guy out from west entrance. Beware of the bad guy in the south room! Don't check the 4th cloth ( for money ) until this bad guy is finished. *S12: Scientific Journal in NW corner of building! 7 Crates. ( W/S-W ) Note: This is how I got the Journal twice using the same method. Use Explosive to open the wall next to the safe. Have "Mike" waiting in the corner and using a lock kit to open the safe, then move one step away. The third guy comes and picks up the journal. This is because I always forgot to bring the combo with team in that day. Remember to bring the "Combo" with you then you don't need Mike to open the safe. S11: Nothing but bad guys. ( S-W ) *S10: 2 Crates. 3 Traps that will open a passway to another 3 Crates ( M14 & M14 ammo )! ( S ) Note: May need 1 Explosive to open the door. S9: Nothing but bad guys. ( E ) *S8: 4 Flowers. Magnum ( B ), Metal Detector ( B ). ( S ) S7: Lots of $$$ in the islands. Need at least 2 pocket to hold them. ( W ) S6: Oil in hut. ( S-W ) S5: 1 Crate. M14 ( B, trapped! ), Metal Detector. ( S ) S4: Nothing but bad guys. Never wait until Day 31. ( E ) S3: 8 Crates ( M14? M16? ). Lots of traps outside. ( S ) Note: Trust me, there is nothing worthy outside. Get into the building and get out of this sector ASAP. S2: 17 Crates ( 2 M16s, M14, ammos, Comp-17, Chunk of Steel, etc. ). Traps in the wall switch box. ( E ) Note: I always "open" a door from east, then ambush the bad guys there. S1: Enter from East or SE. Need a lot of grenades ( all kinds ), Explosives and whatever you have. The number of the bad guys is unlimited unless you mange to get into Santino's room. Fallow Sappling in the NW corner in that room. You will need a healthy fast guy to get it. Getting this "Fallow Sappling" is not that important! There are some crates in this sector, but I did not care about them. VI. Q & As Questions List: (1) How to prevent "Rescue Brenda" mission?

Answers: (1) How to prevent "Rescue Brenda" mission? A: There are 2 ways. (1) Don't let enemy take this sector after you have taken it. Whatever mean method you use will be fine. (2) Re- take the sector before the day is over. I did not get this mission once when I re-take the sector immediately ( I was nearby, in the 2nd plant mission, at that time ). (2) What is the benefit of rescuing Brenda? A: A lot of $$$$$$$$$. (3) How to know which sector has processing plant? A: Hit the green "TREE" button at the beginning of the day. I hate this because the document did not say it. I found this by accident. (4) How to take processing plant without being sabotaged? A: You need a lot of silencers and kill whatever enemy you have encountered immediately. Do not fire while enemy is moving, the "INTERRUPT" situation. If enemy still have enough APs, they will let the other guys know you are there. The 2nd processing plant has either 1 or 2 detonator. One is on the wall in the island ( refer to Q5 ), I suspect the other one is in the buildings with the plant. Some people just disarm the first detonator and keep using non-silence gun. Nothing happened. But, there is another person ( other than I ) has possession of the first detonator and still had plant been sabotaged with loud gunshot sound. I don't know where is the 3rd plant's detonator. I had shooting those outside guys with ".12G Rifle" and the plant is still there after I took the sector ( once ). I think this is purely luck. The 4th plant always has less than 8 bad guys there, so I can take care of them with "Silencers" without knowing where is the detonator. (5) Where are those "detonators"? A: Here are some graphics about the detonators ( by Peter ): The detonator in plant 2 on the island (rough layout) ******* D = door * * * = wall * * 1 search north wall here to detect detonator **D**** *1 * * * **D** The detonator in the sector with the bridges (S26?): small house in the NW: ******** 1 search west wall here * * *1 * * * * **** * * D **D***** The detonator in Sector 23 (Bridges): the SE-building: **** * * 1 search west wall to detect detonator D * * * *1 * **** Hoang Pham < hpham@eskimo.com > mentioned about the detonator in plant 4, but I lost the information about this. (6) What is the "Water Poisoning" mission? A: I heard this before I got the game. So, I always arrange my team to take the lake before the end of day 3. I don't know what will happen if you do not take the lake after day 3. In this mission, you need to take BOTH sector 29 & 30. (7) What is "Fallow Tree Dying" ( Plague ) mission? A: I never had such kind of problem. I heard people were talking about "Antidote" for this, but I am not sure. Here are the info provided by Peter: Some time after you take a certain sector ( someone said 55, but I really don't know which one ) a virus starts appearing. You can get rid of it either by bringing the flowers to Brenda or by recovering the antidote. The antidote is in Sector 7, if you did not possess it before the virus started. It is in Sector 41, if you already possessed Sector 7 but not Sector 41. If you possess both sector 7 and sector 41, the virus will probably never appear. ( My note: 55 is not correct. I always possess this sector before Sector 7, and I never encounter this virus in my game. ) Here is another alternative: ( by ? ) Just use the explosive to blow the infested tree away then the virus won't spread. ( Surely this is not a scientific way. ) (8) Can I throw a Grenade over a tree, into a building? A: You can throw a Grenade over trees. If there is an open path into the building, you will be able to throw it in. But, be warned! There is also a possibility that the Grenade will hit the wall, so ..... I am not sure whether you can throw it through a window or not. Even you can do it, that seems too risky. Someone in the net mentioned that you can place the "Eagle" items in the window, then it will explode as if installed inside the house. The "Eagle Silencer" and "Eagle Screamer" seemed to be more effective than others in this case. ( I did not try this. ) (9) Why there are not many Natives willing to work for me? What can I do? A: Because you are not doing a good enough job, so that the Natives still don't trust you. The number of Sectors you have taken, the number of the bad guys you have killed, the number of Natives that had died, all these will contribute to the result. If such kind of situation happened, the only way to do is to "RAISE" the salary of the Natives. This is a one-way ticket, so I don't think you want to do this. The better way is taking more sectors then more Natives will be happy to work for you. This is why I said taking S40 on day 1 is so important. If you are playing in HARDER level, take 4 sectors on day 1 will give you 70 Natives on day 2. After you hire 39 tappers, you can still have 31 guards on day 2. That is really helpful. (10) I am running out of MONEY, what can I do? A: Please refer to the information of the sectors. Make sure you get all those $$$ in each sector. Once again, you had better take more sectors and gain more trees so that you can get more incomes. Beware of the fact that more trees means more processing plants. And, this is the other thing you need to think about it. (11) "Dynamic Lab" just drop the price of the sapping, what can I do? A: There is nothing you can do to prevent this to happen. I suspect this event is triggered by the fact that you own the second processing plant. After couple days, with all the info that Jack had told you, they will drop the price in 2-3 days. The only thing you can do is getting more TREEs. The more trees you own, the better chance that "Dynamic Lab" will raise the price again. I don't know how many trees will trigger the first raise. But one thing is for sure: get more trees! They will raise the price for $20 each time. There is also another possibility that this event is triggered purely base on the time. The EASY level will happen later, the HARDER level will happen a lot faster. (12) Is there any good strategic about the order of taking the sectors? A: I don't think so. One thing is for sure, if you are not taking some sectors, some events will happen that forces you to take certain sector later. At that time, you will know what sector is important that you should take them ASAP. (13) Is the number of enemies unlimited in Sector 1? A: YES! You need to get into the building ASAP. One person claims the number is limited, this is not true. Although the "Enemy Turn" message will be quicker for some time, that is because the computer is "Generating" more enemies. BUT, the number of enemies seems still follow the "8" rule. If one enemy did not die, the other one will not be generated. One time I happened to "Stun" 5 enemies just across the river for more than 10 turns, that game was so easy that I only need to take care of 2 enemies in each turns. Those 5 guys just keep lying there. ( Of course, I keep using Tear Gas & Stun Grenade to keep them there. ) The generating rate might depends on the level. Someone reported that they only encountered 6-7 enemies in Sector 1 when playing in EASY level, then that's it. For HARDER level, the enemy will be generated in enemy turn whenever a bad guy has died. (14) Is there a good strategic to save Brenda? A: Here is one I heard in News Group. Let Magic swim across the water. Sneak to the back of the south building. There is a door there. Let him open it. There will be a Crate with 3 Stun Grenades and another door. Open this door, then you will find Brenda. I did not use it, but I think this should work. ( I entered from North, killed 3 bad guys, then the sector is clear. ) (15) Why my guys can not open a Crate? A: The crate is nailed too tight. You will need a Crowbar to open it. Furthermore, the merc is not healthy, not strong enough or tire ( BLUE BAR low ) will not do the trick. The condition of the Crowbar will also influence the chance of opening it. BTW, there are some Crates that are so tight that only certain mercs with almost full health can open it. In such condition, make sure the BLUE BAR is in the highest position. (16) What is the max. sectors taken in 1 day? Which level? A: 7 by Peter Kuesters. He did it twice without using any Alt-X. In HARDER level. Here is the information about these two days: S14 -> S15 -> S16 -> S17 -> S18 -> S8 -> S7 S48 -> S58 -> S57 -> S47 -> S46 -> S56 -> S45 ( I guess he did not spend time to clean those mines and traps. ) (17) How many game days do you need to finish the game? A: Peter Kuesters can do it in 12 days ( he said he might be able to do it faster if not taking all the sectors ). But, not everybody can do this. According to the "average 3 sectors per day" rule, you should be able to finish it by day 20. Of course, the more experience you have, the better you can do it. My first game took 27 days ( NORMAL ). Second one took 20 days ( HARDER ). I think this should be normal for a veteran players. (18) What is the best starting team? A: Don't think there is an answer for this. Almost everyone pick Ivan at the beginning. But, there are still some person who did not do it. As long as you have a team with "Sharp Shooter", "Doctor", "Mechanic", and "Bomb Dude", then this team should be good enough. (19) Who will not work with whom? What are the interaction between these Mercenaries? A: Here are some of them: "Sparky" doesn't want to work with her brother "Gary". "Gary" doesn't want to work with his brother "Larry" ( what's wrong with this family anyway ). What about "Sparky" & "Larry"? "Hurl" will quit if you have "Fidel" in the team ( or, killed by "Fidel" ). ( Uh, "Hurl" is a male, not a female. ) "Fox" will quit if you have too many casualties. She will not come back if you fire her. She will come back if you improve your casuality situation. "Wolf" can't stand you raise salary of any other people. "Mike" & "Scully" are good friends. So do "Magic" & "Sidney". Any one of them will quit if their buddy is killed or fired. A lot of mercs will quit if you can not paid the salary of any mercenary. Same when you don't pay the the chopper's fee to deliver a dead merc's body back. If you overuse your mercs ( without letting them to rest enough during the day time ), many of them will quit! Maybe not the first day, maybe the second day when you treat them the same way. "Biff" doesn't want to kill anybody. If he really kills a bad guy, he will quit and say thing like, I want to go back to school. "Skitz" will kill "Sparky". ** "Reuben" will kill "Ivan"(!) and other people. "Fidel", "Leech", and "Skitz" will refuse order while in the middle of a combat. "Kaboom", "Larry", "Moses", and "Pops" will forget order after some time. When you fire "Venney", then hire "Magic" & "Scully", "Scully" will ask for double salary because "Vinney" said something to him. ** Someone said if you fire "Tex", he will say bad things to many(!) people in A.I.M. (20) How can I determine whether my merc can shoot at the bad guys? A: There is a basic principle: If you can see him, you can shoot him! ( Use the function. ) If that is in an wide open area, you can shoot whoever your team can see ( not the shooter ). But, range too far may not cause any damage ( especially the handgun ). If this is in the woods, then the best way to determine whether you want to shoot him => "Interrupt"! In "Interrupt" situation, that means your merc has a pretty clear line of sight, so you can guarantee he has a chance to hit him. Exception: When your merc is behind a lot of Bushes, you may want to forfeit this chance. There is a higher chance that you will hit the bush than the bad guy. (21) Can I shoot through the wall, trees, bushes? A: This part is a little bit tricky. If you find you can not shoot through the wall, but the bad guy(s) can, you might be a little bit frustrated. BUT, you can shoot him back! If you find you was hit behind the wall ( bad guy shoots through the wall ), then you shoot back immediately and don't move this merc. You can get him in the same way. But, if you move, this condition will not happen and you will be still shooting at the wall. Don't know about the trees, but the bushes have the same condition. If the bad guy can shoot you, you can shoot him. Of course, bad guy will take the first shot and your merc(s) has better chance to get hurt. (22) How can I use "Fidel" more effectively? He always refuse to take cover. A: He always refuses to move IF HIS TARGET DID NOT MOVE. So, you have to make sure he is in a well covered place before you can take that shot. When his target moves, he is willing to move again, so move him before shooting. There are two other ways to do the trick: hitting "esc" or remove the weapon from his main hand ( then put it back ). "Leech", and "Skitz" has the same problem, and you can treat them the same way. (23) Is "Max. Aim" necessary? A: Yes in some cases. In wide open place, "Max. Aim" will have much better chance to hit the target. Also, in "Interrupt" situation, "Max. Aim" is better because you will have a pretty good line of sight, and this "line of sight" maybe very precious in the woods. But I really doubt it when the enemy is behind a cover or wearing a good body armor. In such case, sometimes 1 or 2 APs less than "Max. Aim" will have a better chance than "Max. Aim". Yet, this is not guaranteed because "not Max. Aim" also means "Chances to miss". But if you hit, the damage is usually greater than "Max. Aim" in this case. There are a lot of variables here and I don't know exactly how they work. I would simply suggest that you use 1 or 2 APs less than "Max. Aim" in the woods for couple times, and decide by yourself when do you want to use "Max. Aim" and when do not. (24) Is "Crouch" necessary? A: YES! Although this always take 2 APs, but it worth it. Especially "Crouch" behind a bush. But, be sure your mercs are wearing a Helmet. "Crouch" also means the chance of "Hit on the head" is increased too. (25) How come the condition of my equipment drop so fast? A: Two reason. (1) Staying in the water for a longer time. (2) Hit by explosive or grenade. Keep using it ( gun ) will drop the condition too, but not that obvious. (26) What to do with those "Useless" items? A: You will need to fix it at home before you want to use them. Gun, Grenade, Wall Probe, Metal Detector, Explosive, Eagle items, Molotov Cocktail, and Armor are all fixable. Don't remember what else can be fixed. All the kit ( First Aid, Medical, Tool, Lock ), Camoflage, Compound-17, and Crowbar are not fixable. I don't remember about the Chunk of Steel, but you DON'T need to fix it. There is another usage of these "Useless" Grenade type items. Put them in those "Eagle" items and the condition will be around 70 - 80 %. That is already pretty good. (27) What happen with the equipment with those fire/quit mercs? A: If you fire him/her, you keep all the equipment. If he/she quits, he/she will bring the equipment with him/her. So, fire him/her before he/she quits. ( Beware of your turnover rate. ) (28) What's the difference between "M14" & "M16"? A: Peter Kuesters made a little experiment with this once. He has "Magic" using Mod. M14, "Scully" using Mod. M16. "Scully" has slightly better armor. "Magic" wins all the times. But, my own experience shows the difference between these two things are difficult to tell. In sector 1, most of the time, M16 is better than M14; BUT, sometimes, M14 has better effect than a M16. Who knows, both weapons are GOOD! Sometimes, I think a direct hit at the "Bulleyes" ( heart, maybe ) with good body armor maybe worse than a hit at the other part of body ( say, arms, legs ). (29) When will the gun becomes "Jammed"? How can I fix it? A: Not sure about this. The only thing I know is a gun in perfect condition ( 100% ) never "Jammed". I had a 98% mod. Beretta "Jammed" once. And it takes about 7-8 times of re-firing to fix it. And I had used a 70% gun about 10 shots without "Jammed". Maybe firing too many times in a short time ( too many bad guys, huh? ) will increase the chance. There is no better way to treat a "Jammed" gun in the field. As manual said, continuously firing it might do the trick. The most times I used was about 7-8 times ( for that 98%! condition mod. Beretta ). There is a person in the net said he fired more than 20 times before it worked again! I think this is purely depends on your luck. Of course, a mechanical at home can always fix it for you, but you won't be able to get it until the next day. Torbj|rn Lindgren said, let a higher Mechanical skill merc shoot it in the field will have a better chance to make it work again. He suggested skill over 40 for doing this. (30) What is the difference between the different difficultylevel? A: One thing I am sure, the starting fund is different. "Easy" gives you $25,000. "Normal" gives you $20,000. "Harder" gives you $15,000. Cash flow handling becomes very important early in the game in "Harder" level. The price for the chopper is different. $600 for "Easy", $800 for "Normal", and $1,000 for "Hard". Same for delivering a dead merc back. The AI is different. But I can not exactly describe this part. In "Harder", the enemy will always tries to hide behind cover, come out to spot you and hide again, so that the other bad guys can come and shoot you or throw a grenade on you. The tendency of enemy using a grenade is increased too. The enemy will probably ignore the rock when you throw it. The number of bad guys in S49, S50, S59 ( for your first day mission ) is different. "Normal" only has 4 in each sector, "Harder" has 6! On day 2, "Harder" always has 8 bad guys in every sectors, "Normal" still has 6 on day 2. That's all I know. Carsten tested the "Easy" and found there is only 2 enemies in first three sectors. Also, the last sector ( S1 ) will be different. The "Easy" level seems can not regenerate the enemy quick enough. The "Harder" will always regenerate a new enemy in their turn whenever you kill one. (31) Can I re-hire the merc who takes the money and run away? A: ? (32) Can I prevent Santino from suicide so that I can let somebody kill him with knife? A: Probably not. Someone ( I don't remember who ) in the net said something about this: Guess he is like the Obi-wan in Star War. Once he decide to suicide, nobody can stop him. I tried to sneak to the other side of the wall and use those "Eagle" stuffs and there is no damage to that wall! Nothing can break the wall with the switch. (33) How can I get the baby Fallow Sappling tree? A: This is a little bit tricky too. The bomb will explode while you are moving your guys. The sequence of the bombs to explode seems to be the same. You will need some practice or "Alt-X" to do this. You only have about 2.5 turns to do this. Otherwise, the baby Fallow Sappling tree will be destroyed. Use those quick guys. Don't forget one thing, there are two traps in that room too. (34) What does Ivan say? A: The following is from "Eugene": When you hire him (the best part). "O'K, I'll work for you, damn capitalist" When enemy is shooting him: "I am in the middle of the fight" or "they are shooting at me!" When he spots enemy: "I see an enemy, he doesn't see me" When he finds an item: "I see something" When he suspects a bomb: "It may be a trap" When he is tired ( low in Breath ): "This hot is killing me" When he kills the last enemy in the sector: "This place must be safe now" When he receives an order: "O'K,O'K" When he kills an enemy: "Good" When he got shot: "Damn!" When he needs bullets: "My bullets are gone" When he search an empty crate: "Nothing" When he opens an empty crate: "Empty" When he can not open a crate: "I can't open it" When it is late in the evening ( 6pm ): "It's getting late. I think we'd better go back." When you ask him to shoot your own team member: "So, that's the way the Wild West does it!" When the team is travelling to another sector without him: "We must be together." When you fire him: "I wish you spent your holiday in Kiev!" ( My personal note: I think maybe Ivan is from Kiev, so if you spend holiday in Kiev, he has a chance to stab you there :). Is this reasonable? ) When Santino suicide: "He is serious. It will blow up." When the game finish: "I am proud of the job we did here." The following is from "Susi": ( Susi's translation is a little bit direct, without the modification. ) 1. Well, I'll work for u, damn capitalist. 2. I see something. 3. I can't open it. 4. It's mien-trape. (?) 5. A, there's it look like. (?) 6. It's can be trap. 7. I see enemy. He don't see me. 8. At me shooting. 9. I am in the hit of the battle. 10. My weapon is jammed. 11. I have end ammunitions. 12. This hot killing me. 13. This place must be safe now. 14. Don't touch me. 15. A... then on west this is made thus. 16. I want u have the holiday in Kiev. 17. NYET- No. ( Re-hire him. ) 18. I pride work, some we ended here. 19. Seems, something in pocket. ( Brenda's lab coat. ) 20. Good, good. ( "Eugene" uses "O'K, O'K". ) 21. Good. ( after a kill ) 22. Damn. ( when he see bad guys ) 23. Nothing (or) Empty (35) Can I buy equipment? Is there enough bullets to use in the game? A: No and Yes. You can not buy anything so use ammos cautiously. The amount of the ammos will be more than you need if you are not shooting anything like crazy. Furthermore, if you planned on how to kill enemy when you see one, that will save some bullets. To prove my statement, I had these ammos right before I attacked Sector 1 ( on HARDER level ): .38 ammos box: 62 .45 ammos clip: 18 9mm ammos clip: 19 .357 ammos box: 17 .12G ammos box: 11 M14 ammos clip: 23 M16 ammos clip: 21 Like these should be more than enough to finish S1. (36) How can you win/lose the game? A: The final goal is to beat Lucas Santino. If you manage to get into the last room of sector 1, Santino will suicide and you will win the game. Skip any sector before winning sector 1 does not matter. Don't know what is the condition to lose the game. Just know that if you lose Sector 60, then you lose the game. (37) How are action points calculated? A: Health, Agility, Experience level, and Breath. Agility is the most important one. Health, Experience level, and Breath will modify the number. ( I don't think Dexterity is taken into account. This is only my personl opinion. ) I do believe there is a upper limit ( 25 APs ) and a lower limit ( ? APs, check Turtle ) for this value. Carsten Engelmann had tested and found an equation about this thing: APs = health/20 + agility/10 + dexterity/20 + (exp.lev.+1)/2 The breath is hard to put in the formula because there is no numerical value in the game. Note: I had not fully verify this formula yet. There seems to be a little error there. The calculated APs might be differ from real one with 1 or 2 APs. But, that should give you some idea of how fast he/she is. (38) I don't want to try out all mercs but I would like to hear their voices. How do I get it ? A: Information provide by Carsten Engelmann: On the CDROM are all the sound files. They are mostly 11kHz, stereo and 8bit. The format is probably VOC. They can be played with Mediavision's playfile.exe. Look for the file e.g. 'nat' and play it with playfile.exe or 'vplay -S -s11' under Linux. It's the collection of Elio's sayings. Other mercs have numbers. E.g. Bud has 11, Reuben has 20. I don't have a Soundbalster so I don't know the tools but it's probably the 'voc'. (39) What is the difference between experience levels? A: He/she will have higher Salary ( of course ), more AP ( +1 ), see farther and have more chances to identify a trap, etc. while he/she increases the experience level. Each level will increase the salary by 50%, and AP by 1 ( most of the time ). Probably also increase the ability in other areas but this part is not so obvious. (40) What are the information in those Encrypted Notes? A: (a) Code: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Real: C F V H N W P B X L K M E I S A Z D R T O Y (b) All Personnel, Stay clear S4 on D31 Stork is a Boobytrap L.S. (c) All Personnel, Scientific Journal is not to fall into enemy hands, first sign of enemy presence near my lab- Journal is to be destroyed immediately L.S. (d) It's a note from "Hervos". He said Mr. Lucas is making a baby Fallow Tree. ( You need a native to read this note. ) (e) Thanks/????????????????????? ( Somebody help me here! ) (41) How to install the DEMO version of this game? It just keep asking me for a disk. A: The DEMO version will ask you to put the files in floppy disks before the installation. This will work. But, if you use the function "SUBST" of DOS to emulate a drive ( say, Z: ), then you can just install it from hard drive ( root directory of Z: ). (42) Should I use a native guide? Whom should I use? A: It depends. The advantage of native guide is Free, Advice, and an extra man to carry items. Each one has his advantage & dis- advantage. Like Elio, he is very fast, but his marksmanship is too low ( 23 ). Hamous ( ?, the second one ) has pretty decent marksmanship but he is way too slow. I personally prefer Elio because he is fast and strong enough to open a lot of crates. I don't really need him to fight. Other people prefer Hamous just because he can join battle. It just depends on the way you play. (43) I don't want to fire mercenay so I just let him/her killed. That seems to be a better idea than getting complain by firing him/her. Is this good? A: Surely the other mercs will not complain because the turnover rate does not increase in this case. BUT, beware of the side effect! This will increase the casuality rate and also need chopper to send the dead body back. Also, I heard someone mentioned this once that if a merc's "buddy" got killed, he/ she will quit. Then, you have to increase the salary of him to keep him/her. Remember, his/her equipment will be gone if he/she quits! I don't recommend such kind of tactics. (44) Can enemy attack my sectors across the water? A: Yes. If the sector is adjacent to an enemy sector, then enemy can launch an attack from there. So, be sure to put 8 guards there. (45) Do I need to put guards in all of my sectors? Is it necessary to always put 8 guards in my sectors? A: If the sector is not directly adjacent to an enemy sector, then it is not necessary to put guards there because enemy can not attack this sector directly. If this sector has enemy sector(s) adjacent to it, then you had better put guards there because the enemy might get a "free" sector if there is no guard there. You had better always put 8 guards in such kind of sectors. But this depends on your situation. If your financial can afford 8 guards in all the sectors adjacent to enemy sectors, than it is the best way to protect it. If your financial can't afford it and you wish to risk a little bit, then you should consider what level you are playing at. If that is "harder", you may want to put less than 8 guards in those sectors where enemy just attacked yesterday. If a sector is separated from enemy sector by water, then you can consider put less guards there. If you are playing in "Normal" or "Easy" level, then you can consider just put 6 - 7 guards in your sectors and reduce the amount of backup guards. (46) Sometimes, the enemy sector has less than 8 guards even it is late in the game. How can this happen? A: Remember the enemy can launch attack on your sectors? That's why sometimes the number of them has decreased. If you remember to memorize the number of enemies that sent to attack your sectors, then you can calculate how many enemies left in the sector. If you attack that sector immediately, then you are going to face only that number of enemies there. Of course, sometimes you need to guess which sector they launch the attack before the day ends. One more thing, if you did not attack that sector immediately or the next day, there is a pretty good chance that the enemy will reinforcement that sector pretty soon. The shortest time to get a reinforcement in an enemy sector is about 4 hours in my own experience. 1 day is my most common experience. Note: enemy can reinforce across water, but you can't if that sector is not linked. (47) How to find those items hidden behind a tree? A: See advice (17) in suggestion for the Novice Player. (48) What is the factor that influence the performance of my work? A: I don't have the formula here. One thing is for sure: the daily performance ( the one at the end of the day ) is based on the number of the enemies that you had killed, not on how many sectors that you had taken. Your casualities and number of Natives died might be considered but the factor is not clear. The overall performance was based on these factors too. But, the turn over rate ( the mercs that you had fired ) might be a factor here. ( Is there anyone has a formula? ) (49) Why the condition of the item degrades after I combine it with something else? A: There are two reasons for this to happen: (a) the person to do this job does not have high enough relative skill (b) the condition of one ( or several ) item(s) is not good enough. It is pretty easy to make up if it is the case one: just let someone else to do it. The person with the right skill will usually increase ( or maintain ) the condition after he/she has done the job. The second one is a little bit tough. You will need to have some experience about what condition is good to combine the items. After you had tried several times, you will probably have an idea of this. I would suggest you to try it out if the condition is over 50%. If it is under 50%, then you had better have it fixed before using it. (50) The items are too many, I can not carry all of them. What can I do? A: Some of the items can be put in the same pocket with other same ( or different ) items. You don't need to put each item in each slot. Check out the figure of the item. If there is a small number in the right lower corner, then you probably can put it together with other same items. For example: ammos. There is a limitation of how many of the same items can put in the same slot ( pocket ). Maximum number is 5. But there are some items, medical kits, sun goggles, which you can put less ( 2 ) in the same pocket. Other than this, you can also combine things before you put it in the pocket. For example: Silencer or Sniper Scope with the gun. That will same some rooms. Caution: If the item is for repair, the Silencer or Sniper Scope which combined with the gun will not be fixed unless it is detached. If the items are really too many that you are still running out of the pockets ( it happens all the time ), then you can determine which items are needed immediately and which are not. Then, put those necessary items in your pockets. Put those not necessary items in some certain place in the sector. ( There is no rain or thief in Metavira, so don't worry about these items. ) You can always come back latter to collect them. (51) Can I heal a guard? A: Yes. If you find a guard just injuried or is in poor, weak, critical, or dying condition, you can always try to let a merc to heal him. If the guard does not have wound, you will find the merc just stand next to the guard ( that means the wound does not need bandage ). (52) Can I heal the enemy? A: Yes. Once there is a person in the net said he healed the enemy but the enemy still attacked the merc after been treated! He just let his merc kill that enemy anyway. ( I never try this. ) (53) Some of the guards is not in perfect condition. Can I replace them? A: Probably not. Since you can not control the guard except the ask part of them to move. You can only hope these weak ones will move so that you can isolate these weak ones. (54) Did Brenda leave any message for you? A: Put her "lab coat" in the right hand, then you will find a message like this: NEED HELP LUCAS MEN. THEY PLAN TO TAKE ME TO A SMALL ISLAND BRENDA (55) Is there any "official cheat" ( bug ) in the game? A: Yes. Carsten found one: Before a "quick save", let your mouse cursor hold an item ( like Medical Kit ) before doing this. Then, use "quick restore" of this one. You will get two items instead of original one after the restore. (56) Is there any recipes for combining items? A: I guess not. I believe those "Molotove Cocktail" and "Eagle" items were gotten via trial & errors. (57) Can I change the difficulty setting after I start the game? How can I check what level am I playing? A: No. If you go to the team information screen, you can see this in the upper right corner ( first one ). (58) There are too many keys, what can I do? A: True. There are too many keys and you can not tell the difference from them. There is a way to make your life easier: Only use the keys you found in the same sector. If there are any key left, then throw it away. My suggestion is simple. Other than the above mentioned method, just bring the "Padlock Keys" with you. The Padlock are much harder to be picked. Once you have Mike, just bring a Locksmith kit with you. There is only 1 door that Mike can not pick in the island. ( You can use explosive on that one. ) (59) How can I know whether there is a window in the side of the building that I can not see? What can I do? A: Carsten reminds me about this problem. Sometimes, when the mercs walking around these hidden windows, they got shot. There seems to be no way of telling the existence of the window. My method works most of the time: When a merc is moving to the back of the building, let him/her stand next to the wall! Move him/her square by square! If there is a window, he/she will see 1 square in the building 1 square(!) before he/she stand right in front of a window. In this case, this merc has only slightly chance to be shot. This is the method I used all the time. After you have confirmed there is a window there, you can always send a merc with "Wall Probe" to verify the existence of the enemy inside the building. If there is no enemy, then you should be able to move safely around the window. (60) What is the "three corners" Elio mentioned in sector 30? A: Most of the people believe the treasure is actually in sector 28 rather than 20. That is the "three corners". VIII. Miscellaneous Information Comments for those high Marksmanship mercs: ( All the APs here are confirmed by myself. ) Mike: Perfect! Well, except the Salary. ( 23 APs ) Lynx: Good one, and well worth the price. ( 18 APs ) Leech: Slow but OK with that price. Will refuse order like Fidel while in the middle of a combat. ( 13 APs ) Kelly: Not that good. His response ( "INTERRUPT" ) was bad. I am a little disappointed about him. Other people still think he is OK. The possible reason is he can not see very far. That should be the reason why his response is not good. ( 22 APs ) Magic: Very Good! Highly recommended. Well worth the price. ( 22 APs ) Hitman: OKay. But he is too slow. ( 16 APs ) Spike: So far, the only comment I got said his salary seems too high! ( I have no idea about this guy. ) Ivan: Good one. What can I say, almost everyone has him at the beginning. He is very strong too. ( 19 APs ) Sidney: Not good. Like Ivan at the beginning, but a little bit slower. ( 18 APs ) Scully: Good one, worth the price. ( 22 APs ) Special: Ice: Good one. Easy to improve Marksmanship to about 88. Also very fast and healthy. ( 19 APs ) Fidel: Good one. Best Bomb dude. A little bit slow. ( 17 APs ) Snake: Good shooter and has a Camo-U-Flage with him. The drawback is low HPs and no significant secondary skill. ( 19 APs ) Bud: Good shooter and somewhat useful field doc. His 78 marksmanship can be easily raised to 80 by the killing number. ( 16 APs ) Strongly suggest: ( in order ) Mike, Magic, Scully, Lynx, Ivan, Ice, Fidel. Bud and Snake depends on your choice. ( You may have some opinion about Ivan should be higher than Lynx, but I have the reason to put him in front of Ivan. Lynx is a little bit slower but you can count on him while in Sector 1. You can put him in a position where you usually put Mike there, and Lynx can still handle it very well because of his 99 marksmanship. ) Attribute of all four Native Guides: ( From < sca@advge.magwien.gv.at > in newsgroup ) sal hp ag dex wis med mec mk exp Elio 0 83 84 81 58 0 0 23 1 ( 17 APs ) Hamous 0 66 68 66 35 0 2 74 1 ( 14 APs ) Native # 3 0 74 62 88 74 0 70 24 1 Native # 4 0 68 55 88 82 46 0 11 1 Here are the tables for all Mercs' different skill ranking.
