Bei einer Erkundung im Westen Arulcos habe ich bei einer Auseinandersetzung leider Burns verloren.

Dafür habe ich in Sektor I4 endlich Gabby gefunden, der es mir ermöglicht, endlich den "Creatures" innerhalb der Minen entgegenzutreten.

Bei einem ersten Versuch, diese anzutreffen war die […]

Leider habe ich den ersten Verlust zu verzeichnen. Hamous, der seinen Eiswagen ins Team gebracht hat, ist bei einem Überfall von "Creatures" bei der Mine in Drassen verstorben. Ich habe nun das Gefängnis in Tixa befreit und konnte dabei den Insassen Dynamo rekrutieren (50 Schmeckles pro […]

Nun habe ich Cambria komplett inkl. Mine Nr. 4. Mit insgesamt 5 Sektoren bisher die größte Stadt - kein Wunder dass Deidranna richtig wütend ist.
Die Ärzte im hiesigen Krankenhaus sind mir nicht wohlgesonnen, habe aber keine Ahnung weshalb. Werde mir jetzt als nächstes die Flugabwehr-Basis […]

Der Eiswagen ist wieder meins. Als Nächstes habe ich bereits 2/4 Sektoren in Cambria erobert (PKW-Route Richtung Westen), aber die Häuserkämpfe sind sehr herausfordernd - ohne die Savegame-Funktion nahezu unmöglich IMO. Income von drei Minen liegt bei ca. 15.000 täglich, sehr […]

Habe Alma mittlerweile komplett und nun einen gut ausgerüsteten Squad. Als nächstes muss ich mir den Eiswagen zurückholen, damit ich nicht alle Wege mit dem Heli zurücklegen muss. Der wurde auf dem Weg in sicheres Gebiet überfallen und seitdem gut bewacht. Vor einigen Tagen war mein Squad […]

Neben Drassen und Chitzena, samt den benachbarten Flugabwehrstationen habe ich nun 2/4 Teilen von Alma (samt Mine) und der Militärbasis erobert und dabei einige Waffenschätze ausgegraben, mit denen die nächsten Missionen sich hoffentlich einfacher gestalten lassen.

Großer Sprung - mittlerweile bin ich bei Tag 26 und das Team ist ordentlich gewachsen. Von den Startern sind neben meinem Alter Ego noch Steroid und Dr. Highball aktiv, dazu gesellen sich einige renommierte Schützen von A.I.M. und einige Handlager von der günstigen Alternative M.E.R.C […]

Als Nächstes wende ich mich der Flugabwehr zu, dabei unterstützen mich Buns und der einheimische Dimitri

I love this '90s retro PC game! It had its own in-world Internet which is a veritable time capsule of what the actual IRL Internet used to look like back in the '90s. #pcgaming #retrogaming #crpg #gaming #ja2 #jaggedalliance2

Currie and his team added a series of quests to JA2 that introduced the Crepitus, a race of giant insect monsters biologically engineered by Queen Deidranna that bear more than a passing resemblance to H. R. Giger's design for the alien in Ridley Scott's Alien (1979). These quests require a significantly different play style from the rest of the game. The Crepitus navigate by smell instead of by sight and sound, meaning that stealth becomes a matter of masking one's scent. The game's scent-based artificial intelligence is complex enough that a player can instruct one mercenary to stab another, and send the stabbed merc to leave a trail of blood to lure the Crepitus into a desired location. The high armor values and frontal attack style of the Crepitus give the player a reason to set their weapons to fully automatic and...

A few years ago I had a fun thread on the source code for this #JaggedAlliance2 feature, AI following scents.

Pretty cool to see the code, figure it out (for my port), and years later read the reasoning that led to the code being created.

The logic around smell moving through the level was cool.
