A series of turn-based squad-level combat strategy games for the PC that came out in the 1990s, with some role-playing elements, financial management, and a weird and wonderful cast of mercenaries ranging from out-and-out maniacs to seasoned professionals (And in some cases, maniac professionals). Pick a modern combat trope, and they've probably used it shamelessly.The first gamenote developed by the short-lived Madlab Software and published by Sir-Tech, released in 1995, takes place on the South Atlantic island of Metavira, which was once a nuclear testing site during the Cold War. Because of radiation, some trees mutated into fallow trees, and their sap contains amazing medical properties that is every doctor's Christmas wish come true. Thus a research team led by Jack Richards and his daughter Brenda arrived on the island to study the trees and, if possible, reproduce them. But one day, the labs burned down in suspicious circumstances, and Lucas Santiano, a senior member of the research team, proposed to split the research team in two, arguing that two heads are better than one. Despite Brenda's objections, Jack agreed, and with his new found autonomy and authority he hired his own (literal) Redshirt Army, and took over most of the island to monopolize the sap-supplying business. This is where the Richards hire You to reconquer the island and to kick Santiano's ass with the help of Hired Guns provided by the Association of International Mercenaries, or just A.I.M for short.The stand-alone Expansion Pack, Jagged Alliance: Deadly Gamesnote developed in-house by Sir-Tech, released in 1996, has you working for Gus Tarballs and accepting small-time mercenary missions. Eventually, the stand-alone missions tie together into thwarting the DFK, a high-tech organization whose plans involve using satellites for orbital superiority. As this game was made specifically for multiplayer (complete with map editor), all strategic elements were sacrificed for tactical ones; instead of overworld management, the campaign is a series of one-sector scenarios.The sequel, Jagged Alliance 2note developed by Sir-Tech's surviving Canadian branch and published by TalonSoft, released in 1999, takes place in Arulco. Hired by dethroned king Enrico Chivaldori, you and your band of mercenaries — from both A.I.M. and newcomer M.E.R.C. (More Economic Recruitment Center), which was founded by (surviving) ex-members of the former — are to liberate Arulco and to kill Enrico's ex-wife Deidranna Reitman, who usurped the throne a decade ago and ruled since then with iron fist of tyranny. Surprisingly well thought out and complex as computer games go in its approach to physical injury, fatigue, the effectiveness of firearms and the use of explosives and noted for its excellent Turn-Based Combat. Notably it's got a lot of mileage out of the v1.13 mod (a reference to the last official patch being v1.12 and, probably by coincidence, the last official versions of both original JA and Deadly Games), which drastically changed the game and even introduced a multiplayer mode that wasn't in the unmodified JA2! Some of the trope examples are due to, modified, subverted, or averted by this mod.The sequel's stand-alone Expansion Pack, Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Businessnote Sir-Tech Canada's penultimate release, also published by TalonSoft, released in 2000, takes place in Tracona. Ricci Mining and Exploration was the company that ran the mines in Arulco for Deidranna, and with her fall they lost them. Wanting to take them back, they set up a military base in the nearby military dictatorship of Tracona, gave Arulco an ultimatum to return the mines to [RMaE]'s ownership and launched missiles at the Prison in Arulco as a warning. King Enrico Chivaldori, knowing that Aruclo has not recovered enough to effectively deal with this crisis, hires you to resolve it. This game is very short and remarkably more linear than the basegame, and the main draw of it is the map editor, which was later added (along with other new features in this game, except the new mercs, unless you count the v1.13 mod) to JA2 in later patches.Jagged Alliance 3 has had a troubled past after Sir-Tech closed down in 2003, with numerous false starts and developers throughout the years. In September 2021, Jagged Alliance 3 was finally unveiled by THQ Nordic with pre-alpha gameplay footage, seemingly returning to the series' roots, promising deep turn based tactical gameplay. Jagged Alliance 3 was finally released on July 14th 2023, and reviewed well, with critics hailing it as a return to form for the series.Kalypso Games and bitComposer Games released Jagged Alliance: Back In Action in February 2011, a real-time remake of Jagged Alliance 2. In August 2012 they released the sequel to BiA, Crossfire.Gamigo and Cliffhanger Productions released Jagged Alliance Online, a free-to-play isometric tactical MMORPG, in August 2012. It was shut down in April 2015. A successor, Jagged Alliance Online: Reloaded, was released in May 2015 and shut down in November 2018.Jagged Alliance: Flashback by Full Control, the makers of the 2013 videogame adaptation of Space Hulk, was officially released in October 2014, having previously undergone a period in Steam Early Access. It is turn-based with elements from the 1.13 mod, taking place in 1991 depicting the origins of AIM.A Spin-Off titled Jagged Alliance: Rage! was released in December 2018. Featuring survival elements, the game is again a turn based tactical shooter. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: If you screw up bad, or if your luck runs out... Even your custom IMP merc isn't immune. Although, in Rage!, none of your mercenaries can actually die - they only lose consciousness if brought down to 0 HP, and require being carried off the field later. After battle, they always recover to 1 HP automatically. | |

Friendly Sniper | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_12575a9f | comment |
Friendly Sniper: Sheila "Scope" Sterling is a well-spoken and cheerful young woman. She is also ex-SAS and has nearly maxed out marksmanship stats. Charlene "Raven" Higgins is an ex-LAPD sniper, who is also quite kind, though a tad snarkier than "Scope". On the male side of things, Gaston and Biggins are suave and sophisticated, respectively. | |

Multinational Team: Subverted, some mercs will refuse to work with each other because of this. The rivalry between English sniper Scope and Irish arms-dealer Micky; Frenchman Gaston and French-Canadian La Malice; Americana-boy Gasket and anyone from Russia (Ivan, Igor, Iggy); crooked Southern prison-guard Bubba and until-recently tortured-prisoner (and black man) Dynamo; etc. Another example is Steroid (Polish) who strongly dislikes Ivan and Igor (both Russian). With Fidel and Trevor, the matter lies more in "professional rivalry". | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Jagged Alliance 2 was a clear tonal shift from the first two installments. Instead of outlandish plot setups we are toppling a merciless dictatorship that is abusing both the country's nature and people for wealth. At the same time the mercenary roster was pared down, with most of the removed characters being particularly humorous in their design. Jagged Alliance 3, while overall lighter in tone compared to Rage!, is darker and more serious than the prior mainline games. The plot deals with a brutal paramilitary takeover of a West African nation that isn't above slavery and openly displaying dead civilians as warnings, a form of Rabies turning people into zombie-like homicidal maniacs, and The Major as well as Colonel Facheaux's forces and the Adonis Corporation is a far more serious villain than the hammy Deidranna. Fitting for the darker and edgier tone Action Movies took in the 2000's. | |

Early Game Hell | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_1527d90d | comment |
Early Game Hell: Unless you've got some experience, prepare to get your ass kicked. This is especially evident in 1.13, where a major assault begins the very night you take a town if you don't turn it off in the options. How major? A hundred-plus soldiers, against, at most, five of your guys. The first Jagged alliance is particularly brutal to newcomers. At the start of the game, you control a single sector and your sap factory isn't even operational. While finding the part needed to repair it is easy enough, you have still have to run a severe deficit for days of gameplay until you capture enough zones to turn a profit. Until then you have to get buy with crappy low-quality mercs armed with terrible weapons. In Rage! your two mercs start with basically nothing, you lack ammo and armor to fight straight on, you lack medical supplies to recover quickly, and lack water to be able to just rest off the wounds. Before you kit your mercs out properly, you need to be really careful. | |

Your Head A-Splode | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_1713b00a | comment |
Your Head Asplode: Try shooting someone (preferably unarmored) at close range in the head with a high powered rifle; burst/full auto just to make sure. This usually happens to enemies with poor health, and with any weapon, but for obvious reasons, happens much more often when someone uses a high caliber bullet (or bullets). | |

Heal Thyself | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_17761744 | comment |
Heal Thyself: Mostly averted. Medikits will not heal wounds, but are used to stop bleeding and slightly reduce the physical penalties caused by wounds. Treated wounds will slowly regenerate, but to really get a merc back on his feet, you need to assign another merc to be a doctor (And give him a Medical Kit. First Aid Kits won't cut it.) However, there are Regen Boosts in Jagged Alliance 2 which will heal characters in a couple of minutes, though these are very rare and should only be used in an emergency. | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: Really, the hardest part of the game is probably near the beginning when all you have is handguns and you can't afford the more expensive mercs. Once you get assault rifles and sniper rifles however... Or "rent" an expensive Merc and access their expensive gear. More so if using 1.13 and you have the counterattack option turned on, which corrects Deidranna's order to send all of her spare troops to re-take Drassen amounting to a squad or two. It sends upwards of sixty (the latest 2011 1.13 release goes up to full 120) soldiers to fight. Averted if you disabled lvling in 1.13 and used some foresight. You get quite enough money from San Mona to equip your best shots with top equipment and have no troubles in the beginning. It gets much harder later, because even the best equipment and mercs don't help that much against the opponent that uses antimaterial rifles and mortairs. | |

Poirot Speak | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_18e2980 | comment |
Poirot Speak: Some mercs mix in their native language in their speech. Some mercs that do this are Flo and Gaston (French), Grunty and Thor (German), Hamous and some of the rebels (Spanish), and of course Ivan in Jagged Alliance 2 (in original JA he spoke only in Russian). | |

Railing Kill | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_1972ef89 | comment |
Railing Kill: Rare as rubies, since most enemies fight at ground level and the ones on the rooftops generally will fire at you from somewhere not near the edge. But kind of nifty to see when it does happen (such as getting an interrupt on one climbing up to meet you). And it results in practically instakill damage. (-56 HP from the hit, but -136 from the fall?!) | |

Relationship Values | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_19a781f | comment |
Relationship Values: Various mercs will enjoy working together with some individuals, and detest others. Sometimes the feelings are mutual, sometimes one-sided. This has gameplay effects with morale, how much money a merc wants or outright refusing to join. At the most extreme end, keeping a merc on the same team as someone whose guts they hate may have the result that one fine morning you find a merc "disappeared" during the night, with the heavy implication their own teammate up and killed them. | |

Mission-Pack Sequel | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_1a2dc1fd | comment |
Mission-Pack Sequel: Deadly Games can come quite close to this. However, the amount of additions and improvements would make it very expansive mission pack. Unfinished Business can be considered an another example of this, although it was actually marketed as stand-alone expansion to Jagged Alliance 2 (and not a separate game). Wildfire, on the other hand, is little more than a glorified mod, with it just being Jagged Alliance 2 only harder and with a small few plot changes (You now work for the CIA instead of Enrico) and a change in some of the mercs. | |

Violation of Common Sense: The stats for weapons in Back in Action are poorly explained which doesn't help how some of them function not how you'd expect, Pistols are fast to fire and heavier rifles take longer to aim, except for Light Machine Guns, which despite being some of the largest weapons, actually are faster than handguns to fire. | |

The Medic | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_1bf47ada | comment |
The Medic: In this series it's more of a less-combat oriented Combat Medic. Dr. Mark "Needle" Kranhuim from the first game, the best doctor in the game (I've brought people back from the dead!), is a good example; his wandering right-eye makes his aim forever less-than-stellar. Few of the medics are particularly battle worthy (except for the former combat specialist and the martial artist). | |

Bag of Sharing: In 3, each merc has their own inventory and how much they can carry is dependent on their strength stat.

Invulnerable Civilians: Played straight and subverted, enemies won't deliberately shoot civilians except those you trained as militias. Crepitus and Bloodcats WILL attack civilian, so kill them before they can. You can shoot civilians if you want to, but you will lose town loyalty if you do, so don't. Attacking militias will turn (up to all of) them against you. | |

Crouch and Prone: In the first game the merc can crouch, but cannot move until they stand up. In Deadly Games, mercs can fire while crouching but must stand to move. JA2 added the prone position, and the mercs can move in any pose. | |

Anti-Air | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_1eed1d03 | comment |
Anti-Air: SAM sites in JA2. You can move in SAM-infested space, but your 'copter WILL be destroyed if you don't get out of there ASAP.note It is actually surprisingly durable for a civilian copter, taking 4 rocket hits before it goes down. You can pretty much expect it to drop your mercs right near the SAM site and live through the trip back. You need to take out SAM sites to have the copter move safely, and if you don't leave behind militia, enemies WILL retake the site. While you can try to ignore AA zones, Rider takes this risk seriously and increases helicopter wage by 10 times if you insist on flying in dangerous airspace. Safe airspace also allows you to drop newly hired/rehired mercs freely within it. Before you capture any SAM sites, you can only use two sectors as a drop points. If you're quick and sneaky, you can temporarily neutralize an anti-air position without having to kill all the guards. Blowing up the computers inside the anti-air base will shut down the site for several days until they can be repaired. This is easier said than done, requiring you to sneak into the compound, cut through the fences, and get inside the control room, before using a bomb on the control system then getting the hell out. | |

Homemade Inventions: 'Eagle' explosive devices in original: take a jerry can of gasoline, tape a grenade of some flavor to it, and throw. You can also use a chunk of steel to permanently modify a gun with an extended barrel (better range and damage, not available for the .38). Expanded on in the sequel: You can make an X-ray detector out of various components to scout a room before you go inside; you can combine RDX crystals with various things to make horribly dangerous explosives; combining a steel rod and a spring gives you a replacement recoil spring to reduce AP on certain guns; duct tape and a steel tube allows you to create a barrel extension for better accuracy and range that may or may not go flying off the gun when you shoot... | |

Not in This for Your Revolution | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_25a6c734 | comment |
Not in This for Your Revolution: You and your mercs, in general, are only ever involved because of a contract, and couldn't care less about the stakes involved, at least initially. Even at your most benevolent, you still expect to get paid or have something in return for all the effort. The Adonis Corporation in the third game seems to be concerned about the conflict in Grande Chien only insofar as it's damaging their financial bottom line. Meanwhile, the downtrodden citizens on Ernie Island, at least initially, don't care much about politics or President LaFontaine and just want the Legion thrown out so they can be left alone. | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: Notably averted. In the first game, sap gatherers will refuse to work for you if they feel that the situation is too dangerous. You can convince them to work for you by offering more money, but wages can only go up, never down, which can cause an untenable financial situation if you raise it too high. In the second game, while almost every non-soldier citizen hates Deidranna, they won't speak out until you've liberated their sector, and even then they'll avoid speaking too loudly if they feel they're in danger (low loyalty). Training them to stand up for themselves, and having those militia soldiers successfully defeat attempts to retake their city will result in a much more vocal group of citizens. Initially played straight early in the third game, however. The citizens on Ernie Island couldn't care less about the simmering multi-way civil war and just want to be free from the Legion. They become more willing to be involved, eventually fielding militia soldiers with the help of your mercs, if you've liberated the region. The same goes for the rest of Grande Chien if National Pride is high enough. | |

Gas Mask Mooks: Anyone, provided they're wearing a gas mask. Interestingly, this is somewhat subverted - there are no cosmetic changes to the model sprite, and though they're more common on black shirts, they show up randomly amongst Deidranna's grunts. They're also quite useful, but staying in mustard gas too long will cause damage as the filter erodes. v1.13 adds changes to your mercs' portraits to reflect if they have gas masks equipped. | |

Revolvers Are Just Better | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_2a195285 | comment |
Revolvers Are Just Better: Averted: In this series, the low-ammo count and slow firing rate usually makes any advantage that revolvers have null in close-range combat. Not to mention the inability to silence them. They usually make up for it in power, but even then, the main drawback is the high AP cost, LOUDNESS (well, if you're that sort of sneaky bastard), and range. (They are handguns, after all.) Tex Colburn's custom revolvers, however, are quite possibly this - a better range and AP cost than the M29 SATAN, especially if an Insight LAM and Small Scope is slapped on it, and it's got AET ammo. It helps that he's got good marksmanship and the ambidextrous perk. In the first set of games, until you picked up assault rifles, your choices were slower pump-action shotguns, crappy revolvers, inaccurate SMGs, decent semi-auto pistols, and relatively good revolvers like the .357 and Ruger Redhawk. In 1.13, you can turn off the levelling list so you can get far superior rifles right away, but without, you'll get the consolation prize of a few AKs, maybe in the damaged goods section. With 1.13, revolvers come into their own, especially when dual-wielded by a merc with Gunslinger and Ambidexterity. Put a laser sight, reflex sight, and scope on a big, powerful model like an Anaconda or Redhawk, load them with AP or AET ammo, and two revolvers become medium-range murder machines. Also in 1.13, revolvers get a unique property added that reflects a real-life advantage - they always unjam in one attempt. This is because all you need to do to unjam a revolver is rotate to the next chamber (provided the jam was due to a dud round, rather than the bullet firing but getting physically stuck in the barrel), which many revolvers will do just by pulling the trigger again. | |

More Dakka | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_2b706ca | comment |
More Dakka: The full auto mode of many assault rifles and the only way some heavy machine guns can shoot. Rod and spring decreases the action points needed to start a burst/automatic fire. With the attachment, assault rifles with 3 round bursts can fire a burst volley as fast as a single shot. Slap in a C-Mag and never fire single shots again. The Metal Storm Surf Zone SMG in V 1.13 is the epitome of this trope, next to the machine guns - it being... Metal Storm... it fires two shots per barrel (it has four of them). A "five"-round burst will guarantee anyone short of a fulled-armored black-shirt is swiss cheese. A rare aversion comes into play with the sci-fi-mode-only "ACME Trigger Group", which will add a three-round-burst mode to otherwise fully-automatic weapons. This is incredibly handy for distance shooting and aimed autofire: mercenaries not specializing in automatic weapons tend to fire most rounds than intended on full auto, most of which will go to waste due to recoil. Emptying a magazine at a single target a third of the map away is singularly wasteful if only the first two rounds hit. As of July 2012 Beta, ammo belts can be used to externally feed the machine guns and modified assault rifles, either from the large ammo packs on the gunner itself or another merc holding the belt, providing more lead without the need to reload. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Ultra Shield Vest in the first Jagged Alliance provided a powerful armour boost, and could be worn with normal armour to make the merc incredibly resistant to damage. Unfortunately, it has no pockets, and vests are the only way for your mercs to carry more than two items (With their weapon being one, and ammo likely being the other). Deadly Games improved them by giving them three pockets. In JA2, the Rocket Rifles look impressive. However. they are electronically locked except to registered user, the rifles can only hold five shots and can't have any accuracy-boosting accessories mounted on them. While powerful, most players prefer a rifle's mag size and accuracy to deliver consistent headshots by this point in the game. If you are playing 1.13, then they are pretty much useless since either an anti-material sniper rifle or an assault rifle with drum mag and various other attachments will pretty much outclass them. Shotguns lose their punch about a third of the game in, when enemies begin to carry better body armor. They are given a particular niche in 1.13 though, thanks to the suppression mechanic - since every pellet suppresses as much as a single bullet, it can be used to scare the AP out of elite soldiers with spectra armor. Shotguns also have a secondary use as a stun-stick: taking a full blow from buckshot, even if it doesn't penetrate armor, is a great way to get the wind knocked out of you (reducing your stamina). Two full blows will put down just about anyone, full armor or not. Slug ammunition is also great at popping heads: though the range on most shotguns is inferior to an assault rifle, a slug shot delivered to an unarmored head will kill anyone (and severely injure anyone not wearing a spectra helmet). 1.13 makes shotguns viable again by giving them a range of specialized, shotgun-specific ammunition, as well as a variety of more useful variants (such as a one-handed, four-shot big-pistol-sized version, which, when loaded with lockbreaker ammunition, basically does away with lock-picking and/or finding keys as long as you don't mind being loud). The silenced .50 VSK/VKS Vychlop. Good: it's .50 and silenced. Bad: It's only got a range of about 500 meters, far less than the other anti-materiel sniper rifles. You can just use cold-loaded .308 rounds. | |

| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_2c67783f | comment |
Pinned Down: In JA2 being shot at can force the target to crouch down and go prone if already crouched, wasting Action Points. This is most effective during Interrupts. As usual, this is expanded in 1.13. In Jagged Alliance 3, this returns int he form of a suppressed fire mechanic, which wastes Action Points and adds penalties to attacks for those affected. | |

By JA2 A.I.M. got rid of most of them (being a somewhat legit business after the Metavira operation means you have to follow somewhat harsher standards), with only the most skilled, particularly hard-to-find talented mercenaries (who can pass a psyche-exam) like Fidel allowed to stay. | |

We Help the Helpless: Downplayed. A.I.M. usually ends up on the side of the good guys, and several mercenaries express delight at working for the good guys. That said, it's stated that A.I.M.'s leaders found themselves on the good side in Metavira mostly by luck, and decided to vet their clients more closely in order to capitalize on the good press securing medicine for the world won them. Also, as much as mercs like being on the right side of history, they are still mercenaries and expect to be paid promptly and handsomely for their services, and several members of A.I.M.'s roster have a history of working for some seriously unsavory people. | |

God Save Us from the Queen! | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_2fa6b075 | comment |
God Save Us from the Queen!: To say Deidranna is a total prick would be an extremely severe understatement. She's ruthlessly tyrannical and authoritarian, leveled the only University in the country to further her control, and constantly hungers for more power. Worst of All Crimes Are Equal under her rule, so to say all crimes are punishable by death. Unfortunately, it's not swift death, all criminals and other "undesirables" are sent to a literal death camp in Tixia. And as stated above, All Crimes Are Equal. Growing "plants" ? To the death camp. Didn't attend a speech and clap loudly, because your kid was sick? To the death camp. Make the mistake of getting Deidranna's attention when she's in a bad mood, which is often? To the death camp. It's a wonder the country runs at all under her rule. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: Accidentally damaging (stray bullets, them wandering into a mustard gas shell, behind an enemy when a bullet over-penetrates, behind a wall when you turn it into rubble with C4, et cetera) a civilian in combat has them permanently marked as an enemy. Even if it's just a little kid. Killing the civilian will cause a drop in morale. Retreating will cause a drop in morale. You could always get the militia to do it for you, however, but it's extremely annoying in areas you're liberating - you can't leave until you shoot a kid in the face. 1.13 corrects this, at least; civilians will still get angry if you shoot them, but they won't turn hostile. Rarely, an enemy hit by a stun grenade will be rendered both permanently unconscious and invincible. Not even planting a dozen chunks of C4 on the unconscious body and pounding them with rockets and mortars will affect them. Fortunately, this can be fixed by just leaving the area after killing everyone else (technically a loss for you) and coming back immediately, or reloading a save just before you stunned the target. | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: The best way to kill someone who is standing in water is by shooting at their legs. Still, if that guy has a good weapon, it is better to wait for him to be on dry ground and kill him normally. See Destroyable Items for that. Swimming is fine for most mercs, but God give you strength if you enter combat mode with a pissed off merc/black shirt staring at you with a machine gun. (Hint: You can't fire back.) In the first game, swimming is extremely hazardous, though you likely won't know why at first. Turns out there's water snakes, and the only way to swim safely is with a knife in your inventory. Otherwise, your merc WILL die and take all their sweet gear with them. In 1.13 with new traits enabled, you can deliberately give this disability to your custom(I.M.P) merc to provide an additional stat boost. | |

Mocked with the bartenders, who notes that each of them (they're quintets) act, look, and dress the same. Except for Manny. Poor Manny.

Boring, but Practical | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The lowly .38 caliber revolver. While by far the worst weapon in the game, ammunition for it is plentiful, meaning you'll be relying on it for quite a while. It's especially handy to give to your medics and mechanics, in order to give them something to enable them to participate in combat while saving the ammo for better weapons for your best marksmen. When choosing traits for your IMP in 1.13, you can never go wrong with the Auto Weapons + Marksman + Bodybuilding combo. Auto Weapons adds 5% to all autofiring weapons, reduced AP cost on using LMG's and Reduced auto penalty by 30%. Marksman gives 5% CTH with rifles, 10% CTH with Sniper Rifles, Extra CTH to All guns except handguns, 5% damage shot per every aim click after the first. Bodybuilding gives you 25% damage resistance, 30% effective strength for carrying weight capacity, reduced energy loss when hit by Hand to Hand attacks by 50% and 100% increase in damage required to fall down. All these traits complement each other into making your IMP into a versatile wrecking machine who can, with some training, do anything just as well as the expensive guys; a fighting force to be dreaded. The humble M4A1 carbine. It's a simple, low-powered, medium-ranged weapon with 5.56mm ammunition, but it's also very lightweight and accurate and uses one of the most common ammo types in the game, and as a result it is an ideal choice for your low-strength or dedicated support troops carrying tools and medkits, as well as a main weapon for troops with special equipment like mortars, rockets, or close-combat weaponry. 5.56mm ammunition in general is one of these. Compared with other ammunition calibers, its damage and penetration are unremarkable. However, its high accuracy and the fact that virtually every enemy squad will have a few troops carrying rifles shooting it means that it will be very available and highly reliable. Even if your shots don't easily penetrate enemy armor, each hit will exhaust them until they either pass out, you get a lucky hit, or their wounds add up and they either bleed out or run away. One of the simplest and most boring tactics in wilderness battles in JA2 is to lay your troops down prone, have one of them set off an explosive, and ambush the enemy as they come to investigate. The enemy will start trickling in to check on the noise, and your prone mercs will be able to spot and shoot them due to being less visible and having stable weapons. When the majority of the enemy arrive, you'll still have an advantage, as they will be standing and thus much more visible and easy to kill. Tear gas grenades can be this way early on, and even later can be surprisingly effective, since only elites will often spawn with gas masks. It won't kill enemies like mustard gas, but it will blind them and cause them to panic and maybe even fall unconscious, letting you loot their corpses or finish them off at leisure. Since it won't inflict damage, it is also safe to use around civilians. It is also really effective when used on houses that enemies are holed up in. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable: In Back in Action and Crossfire tutorial (it is the same mission), you must do a succession of actions (move the cameras, move your team, shoot, perform various advanced actions) in a specific order. One of them requires to have each of the units to shoot targets at a shooting range. One of the mercs wields an Uzi; if you didn't make him switch from autofire to single shots (the action isn't required by the tutorial), he risks to consume all his ammunition before hitting his target and you'll be stuck in the tutorial. | |

Magikarp Power | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: In any of the games, if a merc has a high wisdom stat (preferably at 80 and higher) he/she can improve his/her stats and skills so fast it doesn't matter if he/she starts out as absolute crap; he/she will a master of everything in no time. Gumpy is well liked amongst the fanbase for having a high wisdom stat. In 1.13, selectable personality traits like Intellectual and Teaching aid in stat growth. Greenhorns like MD will supercede Gus even faster. (And their salaries will reflect this.) It is highly recommended that you allocate as many points as possible to abilities (especially wisdom and health) instead of skills on your custom merc, even if this leaves him/her with no skill in, say, explosives. Abilities are harder to train, while field experience (such as repairing items) raises both the skill and the corresponding ability. MERC in the second game is an entire organization that runs on this. Their initial pool of hireable mercs are at best mediocre. However, the more you use their services, the more they will expand their operations, with the final merc added to their roster being proper elite. | |

Their later mercs have more plausible dossiers, since it's no longer necessary to cover up for sub-par skills like with the early mercs.

| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: Harder levels have more grunts sent to try and recapture towns. On Normal or higher in v1.13, the enemy will often send upwards of a hundred soldiers to recapture Drassen once you take it. Since this is often the first town the player captures, they'll usually have nothing more than a lightly-armed, tired, and wounded team of six or less people with which to hold off the onslaught. This option, thankfully, can be turned off in the config file - but, if survived on any difficulty not insane, will take a large chunk out of the Queen's available soldiers and will guarantee no attacks for at least a week. | |

Regime Change: In Jagged Alliance 3 it's revealed that the Legion was originally set up by the Adonis Corporation to have Grande Chien's President LaFontaine replaced with someone more amenable, only for the Major to go rogue and deciding that working for himself was more fun than answering to his corporate superiors. Eventually, however, Santiago and her employers decide to try again, this time using the bulk of the Grande Chien Army under Colonel Facheaux. | |

Pretty Little Headshots | |

Pretty Little Headshots: Averted and then some, at least when you use high-powered rifles against unarmored heads in Jagged Alliance 2. *Splotch* "''That'' sure blows my mind! I guess it makes two of us." Of course, unless you do get the random head-explodey animation, the enemy just drops dead. In 1.13, they often fly back a couple squares if they were hit hard with a big caliber and facing the bullet's direction. | |

Blasting It Out of Their Hands: While the games don't allow you to do this, it is possible to make the enemy drop their weapon, most commonly with a serious hit to the head or shoulder, or a powerful shotgun blast at close-range. Or throwing a grenade at them and causing them to fall over, but that's not so much blasting it out of their hands as (almost) killing them. | |

Smug Snake: Mike is AIM's best merc in the first game, and he knows it; he refuses to join you unless you have the highest possible reputation, is extremely expensive, and will quit on a dime if you provoke him. Sadly leads to a Face–Heel Turn in the sequel; Deidrianna offering more money than AIM ever could which, combined with his bad blood with AIM since the first game, leads to him becoming an antagonist. He never loses his cockiness even when facing down your well-trained heavily-armed merc army, and a few AIM vets who know him will have comments on both his betrayal and his death. 1.13 makes it possible to make him join you, if you have a merc with high leadership critically wound him and attempt to speak to him. | |

Scratch Damage | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_5405b144 | comment |
Scratch Damage (Break Lights, annoying as your characters need medical attention from it. Also grenades when they hit your merc and failed to explode.) Strangely, if you wear the heaviest armor, shots sometime do 0 damage to you, BUT break lights will STILL do 1 damage regardless. Can you imagine a more humiliating death than bleeding to death from a scratch caused by a tear gas grenade, while rendered helpless by the breathtaking effect of the gas? Also punches from weak mercs also count, since they will always do 1 damage minimum. Pistol rounds (especially laughable stuff like 9mm.. or less) against EOD or Spectra will still have a damage of at least 1. Thankfully, the wound doesn't bleed. | |

Guns Akimbo: Generally not a good idea, unless you're using mercs who have Ambidextrous and Gunslinger traits. Tex, Meltdown, Fox, and Danny are some of the better mercs for this role. Otherwise you'll be spraying bullets everywhere, and you can't use burst or autofire while dual-wielding. Dual pistols, machine pistols, and revolvers really come into their own in close-quarters combat, especially when outfitted with laser and reflex sights and scopes. Even if individual shots don't do much damage, the sheer volume of fire adds up, and every hit wounds the target and reduces their breath, effectively paralyzing the enemy. | |

| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_54cbd0cb | comment |
This Is Unforgivable!: In the original Jagged Alliance, if a mercenary quits it's generally possible to re-hire them, though they may ask double or triple their normal salary. But there are also two reasons why a mercenary will refuse to work for you again no matter how much money you offer them: if they hear you dumped a dead merc's body in the river (each time you do this, 0-2 randomly selected mercs will hear of it) or if you fire them (even if you've been paying them regularly). | |

Redshirt Army: The local militia you can train are more or less expendable, easily replaced, and die quickly. (Especially quickly if you try to lead the battle.) Humourously, the standard uniform of the Arulcan Army is fatigue pants and a bright red T-shirt, making them a literal Redshirt Army. Unless you're training veteran rebels. A ten-man team will slaughter a thirty-plus squad of Deidranna's troops, with only two casualties. | |

Back Stab | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_5a08d0ae | comment |
Back Stab: If you sneak up behind an opponent without being seen or heard, you can insta-kill the target with a throwing knife/star in the back. Dmitri is one of the more useful "indigenous" recruits for this reason having decent aim to boot. Shank can be this... once he stops sucking in general. Stealth and Night Ops are one of the most useful combination of traits for your customized alter ego, especially while using said throwing knives. In 1.13 with the new trait-system it is even possible to combine those two traits with another useful one like throwing, unarmed or melee weapons. If you're particularly stealthy/lucky, you can even pull off a more traditional backstab on an enemy by creeping up behind them and cutting their throat with a knife, machete, or sword. In Rage!, thanks to less random stealth mechanics, stealth-killing enemies is much more viable (and wise) idea. All mercs can perform them, even with bare hands. The throwing-knife-kill variety still exists, but is restricted to Shadow only, other only deal normal damage. | |

Save Scumming | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_5cfeb43f | comment |
Save Scumming: It is possible in Jagged Alliance to save-scum, but it takes a lot of extra effort where you backup save files. This can happen especially if you are the type who never let anyone get hurt, let alone killed, or miss a shot. There is an optional difficulty called Iron Man which doesn't let you do this with enemies in the sector. However, this only works if you choose a different action than the one you attempted last time, as the save files save the next "dice" result in the seed in addition to everything else. | |

Weather of War | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_5dd0b462 | comment |
Weather of War: The first game has random heat waves at the start of days which greatly increase the rate that stamina drains from your mercs, outside of Hector and the native guides, who have the Heat Resistant trait. Added in the 1.13 mod for the second game in the form of rain and thunderstorms, which greatly reduces vision across the board and makes firearms jam more often, Thunderstorms also have a chance that a lightning bolt will reveal enemies and cause an interrupt — for both sides. Returns in the third game with a large number of possible weather effects, including rain, heat, fog, and sandstorms. Heat causes anyone who takes damage to have a chance to collapse, rainstorms reduce vision range and degrade weapon condition faster, and so on. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Elite soldiers seemingly will never run out of grenades/break lights to throw at you. If you're lucky, you get dud grenades thrown at you. All enemies can open locked doors without using a key. (You can, too - provided you're on their side of the room, which is impossible without cheating or blowing a hole in the wall.) Worse yet, they almost always close the door after going through it (And they never seem to spend any time to do so.) Mortar-wielding enemies and snipers know exactly where you are. Gets infuriating when you're jammed into a small area and the sniper is packing a Barrett, DSR-1, or Erma. Patched in 1.13 so that mortarmen need someone to actually see you before they'll open fire (so your mercs had better been damned fast on those triggers!) Enemies knows exactly where mines (even yours) are placed, though they will still step on them anyway if there is no way they can reach their destinations without avoiding them. Bloodcats can traverse half the map and still tear out the throat of one of your heavily armed mercs, then deliver a coup-de-grace them while they've got the AP penalty due to injury. (Although their enlarged size can prevent them from reaching you behind a narrow row of rocks or thick of trees.) Crepitus can apparently "see" you from across the map in the dark unless you have rubbed elixir over your body to camouflage your scent. Late-game enemies in Back in Action have higher stats than the statcap and the AI always on some level knows where all of your mercenaries are, you'll catch them throwing grenades directly ontop of mercenaries they couldn't know were there if they see a completely different mercenary on a completely different part of the map. | |

The rest of the countryside shows a chaotic mixture of accents and ethnic backgrounds, with American, Latin American, German, and vaguely Eastern European names and accents handed out seemingly at random. It does, however, have the dependence on a single export (in this case silver rather than bananas), corrupt upper-class and oppressive dictatorship down pat, though. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Many of the mercenaries only have jobs at all because of their proficiency at killing. The A.I.M. roster is packed with crazies of varying types and intensities. Even the more level-headed ones have their quirks. Pretty much every MERC mercenary who isn't outright useless. Gasket is a good mechanic, but has violent issues with Russians. Razor is damned well crazy despite his excellent physical stats. Gumpy is a good explosives specialist with amazing wisdom, but is also a quirky nerd with limited combat ability. Bubba is tremendously strong but dumb as a brick and pisses off a lot of people. Larry is a great explosives specialist and medic, but is also The Alcoholic who will take on a completely new personality if there's any medical equipment in his inventory for a prolonged period. Numb's got an impressive resume, but he pisses everyone off. | |

Nintendo Hard: You're supposed to take on entire armies with several mercenaries, who need a capable leader to pull it off. v1.13 by default, although many of the options will make it much better. It's common to hear horror stories of early merc groups storming Drassen, only to be faced by sixty (later eighty) Royal troops with a quarter of them being Black Ops types counterattacking the next day. This "feature" is enabled on Experienced (normal mode) of all things. The truly masochistic can enable an option in 1.13 that allows large-scale assaults like the Drassen counterattack to happen throughout the game; while it is obviously much easier with a properly-upgraded crew, the randomness makes it hard to be prepared for, and the massive army WILL overwhelm defending militia if you don't have mercs to reinforce. | |

More so if using 1.13 and you have the counterattack option turned on, which corrects Deidranna's order to send all of her spare troops to re-take Drassen amounting to a squad or two. It sends upwards of sixty (the latest 2011 1.13 release goes up to full 120) soldiers to fight. | |

Universal Ammunition | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_63a865c9 | comment |
Universal Ammunition: Downplayed. Many firearms use their real-life ammunition types but certain firearms are given more common ammo in the name of gameplay. Most notable in the form of 7.62 Warsaw Pact ammo in 2, which compresses the rounds used in most of the AK rifle seriesnote 7.62x39, Dragunov rifles note 7.62x54, and the Type 85 note 7.62x25mm into one type. The 1.13 mod averts this hardcore with every weapon having its appropriate type of ammo, often with variants in ball, hollow-point, Glaser, cold-loaded, match-grade, and armor-piercing. | |

Critical Existence Failure | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_64f0c18c | comment |
Critical Existence Failure: Doubly subverted. The lower the hit points, the worse the combat performance of a soldier (less AP, low accuracy, depleting health, higher encumbrance penalties). An almost dead soldier even becomes unconscious and bleeds to death unless patched up. However, unless your soldier is dead, he will fully recover within a week if you have a decent medic on the team. Less than two days if placed in a hospital. | |

Permanently Missable Content | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_6602cad | comment |
Permanently Missable Content: Royal Jelly, which can be used to produce the best armor in the game and which can only be obtained from the corpse of the Crepitus queen, a unique enemy, in the relatively narrow window of time between the moment she dies and the moment her corpse rots away. 'Relatively' in this case meaning 'fast enough that if you didn't bring enough jars to scoop it up, you don't have the time to go fetch more'. And that is assuming you play in Sci-fi mode; if you're playing Realistic, you don't get to kill her at all. And don't mix it with already treated armor. For your head-hunting bounties, allowing the bodies to decompose (or just wandering off screen) means you lose access to which you were paid to collect. Maddog will only offer his services if you first speak to him with a merc with good leadership. If you don't, he won't join period. Conrad will start shooting at you (naturally, rendering the option to recruit him null) if you talk to him for too long. The rest of the RPCs will leave for good if you dismiss them after hiring them, or if they get fed up enough that they quit. | |

Stealth-Based Mission: Certain situations may require sneaking past enemy patrols, quiet takedowns or slipping through cracks in their defenses in order to catch them off-guard. Given that you're usually outnumbered, however, even gung-ho approaches tend to require some stealthy finesse in order to keep your mercs alive. | |

Gun Porn | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_67e53056 | comment |
Gun Porn: Old guns, new guns, rare guns, common guns. Shotguns both pump and semi-auto (and even a few break-action), rifles in bolt-action, lever-action, semi-automatic, and full-auto flavors, pistols of every possible variety, machine pistols, submachine guns, machine guns, rocket launchers, mortars... you name it, this game has it, including literally every single AK variant made to date (over four pages of them) and several guns that are so extraordinarily rare as to be unobtainable in real life. You're likely to use less than a quarter of them over the course of any given playthrough. It gets worse with 1.13 mods. You can find (on average) five different variants for a given gun - in fact, the first three pages of the assault rifle section of Bobby Ray's contains nothing but AK variants. Then you have the attachments. High magnification scopes, tactical lasers, fore grips, grenade launchers, longer barrels... gets even further in later 1.13 mods as the number of attachment slots increase and you actually get to see where the attachments are being placed. There are even more attachments, including folding stocks, reflex sights, even longer barrels, caliber changing barrels (5.7mm barrels for AR-15 variants, 5.56mm NATO / 7.62mm NATO / 6.8mm SPC barrels for SCAR rifles), EBR kits for M14/M21 rifles, C-Mag adapters, and Sci-Fi mode only 3 round burst trigger groups. It's quite common for the player to spend some time scavenging attachments, trying to put the optimal attachments on a given gun, and admire all the numeric enhancements and forget about fighting. Did someone say guns are Barbie dolls for men? Men don't argue for hours which accessory looks best on their... waaaait a minute. | |

No Fame, No Wealth, No Service: In the first game, with you being a rookie commander, almost no Merc with the paycheck above 1000$ a day will provide their services until you prove yourself to be a capable commander. Two notable exceptions are Ivan Dolvich and Ice Williams, which is why almost every starting team ends up including at least one of them. | |

Continue Your Mission, Dammit!: Enrico sends emails to you to express his worrying on how slowly/praising on how quickly you are gaining ground, but nevertheless prompts you to pick up the pace. As these mails are sent rather spaced out (around each ingame month) they are rather effective. Note that (outside of 1.13, where it is disabled by default) negative emails actually have a penalty to your income and the morale of your rebel-aligned mercs, to penalize turtling. | |

Meaningful Name: John "Bull" Peters was actually named after the real-life British mercenary John Peters, who worked with the famous gun-for-hire Mike Hoare's 5 Commando mercenary team in the Congo in the 1960's. In 3, a Sanatorium is named Creutzfeldt-Jakob, the name of a horrifying prion disease in humans that turns the brain into a sponge like consistency.

Private Military Contractors | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_6c553873 | comment |
Private Military Contractors: A.I.M. and M.E.R.C., although the former are more of a guild for individual mercenaries than an actual private army. The latter on the other hand evolve into a more proper PMC over the course of the games. The 1.13 mod has a PMC named Kerberus, which is an alternate method of getting militia, where instead of spending time and money to train the locals bit by bit, you can just spend a lot more money (plus a little transit time) to hire a platoon of experienced militia. Only limited to towns with Airports. In Rage!, the Black Shirts are portrayed as such. Corazon Santiago's men in Jagged Alliance 3 are PMC personnel under the Adonis Corporation's employ who are more well-equipped than the Legion and eventually turn on you alongside Colonel Facheaux. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_6ec98db8 | comment |
Guide Dangit: With a few exceptions, you likely won't know which mercs hate or like each other until they've worked together in the field. You'll need to consult a guide or wiki just to make sure you're not going to walk into any pitfalls - if you don't, you risk heavy morale drops, or, in some cases, some mercs leaving and taking their hard-earned gear with them. You can actually solo assassinate Dedrianna by drawing her out of her palace, but the way to do so is incredibly obscure and with no hint that it can work anywhere in the game. In order to do it, you have to wear one of the Dedrianna T-shirts as chest armor and send your IMP merc into enemy territory on their own. After a couple of rounds of fighting the enemy troops will try to capture you. If you surrender, you'll be taken to a military prison to be interrogated by Dedrianna personally. You can then escape and assassinate her. If you send anyone beside your first IMP merc, they'll just be captured and have to be rescued later on. | |

Oddly Small Organization: You and the rebels in JA2. Justified by your lack of starting capital and a small pool of mercs to hire from in your case. And in the rebels' case, having being nearly wiped out by a Deidrannan air-strike on their village. Initially averted in the third game. While LaFontaine's loyalists are initially shown to be a handful of bodyguards, they do have support from Grande Chien's military, which is otherwise too busy dealing with the Legion to be of much help. Then the bulk of said military goes rogue as part of the Adonis Corporation's Regime Change scheme, reducing LaFontaine's loyalists down to a handful of supporters and you. | |

Bigger Stick | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_6fb7cf97 | comment |
Bigger Stick: Are your mercs not that well trained in 1.13? No problem. Arm them with something like a G11, Steyr ACR [not to be confused with the other ACR, this one shoots armor-piercing 5.56 darts], or a FN SCAR-H with a sniper barrel and dress them in Spectra armor or bomb suits to make up for their marksman deficiency, lack of firepower, and measly health points. In fact, arming more experienced mercs with aforementioned guns is often overkill, since anything in range will die. Especially applies if one didn't turn on auto-leveling in 1.13, where your EOD-armored teams with prototype weaponry will be mowing down grunts that look like they came fresh off the Soviet bloc from the 70s. Also applies to Spectra/EOD armor, the latter of which protects from everything and can withstand a shelling from mortar rounds (they're not called EOD for nothing). Encouraged, since you're only allowed a finite number of mercs (and the latest 1.13 limits mercs to 24). Can also be utilized by Deidrannan forces, if you're not a cheating bastard. You'll probably have low-grade AK-47s or just the weapons the mercs arrived with (often just pistols and sub-machine guns - only Gus has the best starting weapon, both in vanilla and 1.13), and the enemies will have FN FALs, M16s with laser sights and maybe grenade launchers, M4A1s... | |

Put on a Bus: Many characters from the first two games, as seen in the Alumni Section of the AIM website. Some of them, like Mike, show up later. In Jagged Alliance 2 proper, this can happen to mercs you don't hire right away - they'll be put "On Assignment", taking other missions besides yours. In most cases, at least one or two mercs will be unavailable for this reason when you start your campaign. | |

Morale Mechanic: Jagged Alliance 2 has a morale mechanic which is raised by successfully killing enemies, teaming up friends, and liberating towns, and lowered by getting hurt, retreating, losing towns, and teaming up people who don't like each other. Mercenaries that are in a good mood will perform better and have exultant remarks and laughter during battle, while unhappy mercenaries will perform worse, disobey orders, complain, and possibly even permanently quit. | |

Arbitrary Gun Power | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_76a83c72 | comment |
Arbitrary Gun Power: Played straight in the first game with the weaker guns, but mostly averted in JA 2, especially 1.13, a shot from any old pistol with glaser ammo on an unarmored opponent is almost always lethal, and nearly all of the 5.56 and 7.62 weapons do the same amount of damage. Zig-zagged in the third game, when outdated guns like the Gewehr 98 can be about as lethal as their more modern equivalents in type and ammo, such as the PSG-1. However, assault rifles generally do about a third of the damage of sniper rifles in the same caliber. | |

I Like Those Odds: In Jagged Alliance 2, every mercenary has a special line when they can see 3 or more enemies simultaneously, usually suggesting retreat, or something like, "I'm fighting a losing battle here!" Magic takes the opposite stance, exclaiming, "This is when I'm at my best! | |

Amusing Injuries | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_78c895c8 | comment |
Amusing Injuries: The backstory for Gus Tarball's slow movement in Jagged Alliance 2 is that, while arguing with AIM over his salary, his mobile home collapsed on his leg. While he was trying to fix his septic system. Deidranna keeps slapping the Hell out of her underling. It gets to the point where, when he reports the mercs are marching on Meduna, he's bruised and bloody - and that's before she shoots him in the forehead. And he survives. | |

Royal Jelly, which can be used to produce the best armor in the game and which can only be obtained from the corpse of the Crepitus queen, a unique enemy, in the relatively narrow window of time between the moment she dies and the moment her corpse rots away. 'Relatively' in this case meaning 'fast enough that if you didn't bring enough jars to scoop it up, you don't have the time to go fetch more'. And that is assuming you play in Sci-fi mode; if you're playing Realistic, you don't get to kill her at all. And don't mix it with already treated armor. | |

Training the Peaceful Villagers | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_79fa704c | comment |
Training the Peaceful Villagers: It's a necessity if you want to keep your enemy from taking back any liberated town. Note that v1.13 lets you change up the nature of this. You can train them to the point that the "peaceful villagers" become their own army that can literally besiege Meduna without any of your mercs getting near! | |

Arms Dealer | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_7aeb0635 | comment |
Arms Dealer: Several. Micky O'Brien from Deadly Games is an international version of an Gangland Gun Runner and is depicted as an stereotypical slimy merchant that gives creeps even to such badasses like Gus Tarballs. He functions as an Auction, and if you pay too much, your mercs will comment on your poor trading skills. He reappears in JA2, but running different contraband. Bobby Ray from JA2 is a shady Online Gun Shop Owner. Many of the guns he sells could not possibly be legal unless he sells primarily to governments. He even sells mustard gas, although the item description says it is to be used strictly for pest control. This gets even more ludicrous in v1.13 due to the vastly expanded arsenal. It's lampshaded further with experimental weapons - "We found a shipment of G11s in a warehouse somewhere. Please don't ask." Tony in San Mona, operates behind an adult video store. His partner running the front requires a favor before you can access Tony's wares (namely, getting rid of an annoying customer). Raul in Unfinished Business sets up shop inside a warehouse. Much of his inventory was gotten by the neighbouring Arulco. In later versions of 1.13, you can define a background for custom mercs, and one of those can be an arms dealer. It grants bonuses to marksmanship as well as the prices selling and purchasing equipment. | |

Grandfather Clause: Lampshaded in Jagged Alliance 3, as it retains much of the same irreverent action movie satire from the '90s titles, even while taking jabs at contemporary issues. This is extended to the tongue-in-cheek disclaimers at the start of the game. | |

| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_7d53bc0b | comment |
Say goodbye to the Hollywood Silencer in v1.13. Sufficiently close enemies will still hear the gunshot of your MP5SD especially if he is wearing an Extended Ear (basically acoustic headphones). While you can now put suppressors on assault rifles and sniper rifles, they are nothing more than a heavy flash suppressor if you don't use subsonic ammo. Even then, if you're using said subsonic ammo, enemies close by will hear you. The in-game sound effect is the standard Hollywood "fwip". | |

Pretty much every MERC mercenary who isn't outright useless. Gasket is a good mechanic, but has violent issues with Russians. Razor is damned well crazy despite his excellent physical stats. Gumpy is a good explosives specialist with amazing wisdom, but is also a quirky nerd with limited combat ability. Bubba is tremendously strong but dumb as a brick and pisses off a lot of people. Larry is a great explosives specialist and medic, but is also The Alcoholic who will take on a completely new personality if there's any medical equipment in his inventory for a prolonged period. Numb's got an impressive resume, but he pisses everyone off. | |

Only in It for the Money: As soon as the mercenaries' contracts expire and you don't have funds to renew them (or just bankrupt in case of M.E.R.C. and the first games), they will immediately leave the theater of operations. Averted with the created mercs you could "recruit" and the resistance fighters, for obvious reasons. Also, many characters work for free (such as your created mercs) so you can really make it through with just the 'free' characters. Renewing contracts, however, has some of the mercs say they like this job (and not because of the cash, but because they're doing something good). They will still expect to be paid, though. | |

Character Customization | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_8aaa6f4f | comment |
Character Customization: Jagged Alliance 2 allows you to create mercenaries via I.M.P., the Institute for Mercenary Profiling. In the vanilla JA2 it was done using the Player Personality Quiz and was changed to Point Build System in Unfinished Business. v.1.13'' uses the latter and improves on it in other ways (including expansing the number of created characters to six). Jagged Alliance 3 allows for the player to chose to do the personality test or skip right to the character creation, but limits the created character to 1. | |

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The squad can be like this if you hire the "right" mercs. By late-game, you team can consist of everything from professional mercenaries, locally-hired troops, and rebels. Within your own mercenary force, your troops will consist of everything from professional soldiers to ex-bouncers to paramedics to professional surgeons to ex-SWAT officers, and also includes a bevy of criminals, terrorists, and self-trained specialists, many of whom are criminally insane to one degree or another. And this is before you start bringing in the comical assortment of MERC personnel. Your team can certainly act like it, if you've got conflicting mercs or use the talk command to see how they really feel about each other. Dr. Vincent Beaumont sums it up if you use his talk command: "Two words: Mental ward." Gumpy has something further to add: "Buncha post office rejects, that's what this team is!" | |

Self-Imposed Challenge | |

Biff Apscott, but much more so in 2 than 1. Lousy stats, low Wisdom so he'll only improve slowly (if at all), and likely to panic at the first sign of trouble. The only real reason to hire him is either a Self-Imposed Challenge or to hear all of his lines. | |

Useless Useful Non-Combat Abilities | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_8d5b5a98 | comment |
Useless Useful Non-Combat Abilities: Some of the mercs have non-combat perks. This can range from fairly useful, to downright useless depending on your play style. Electronics skill can be downright useless to most players since you can still repair electronics anyway, and most of the time the things you want to repair are your guns and your body armor and not electronics. Teaching usefulness is largely debatable, but it is good for Training the Peaceful Villagers. Lock picking on the other hand can make you forget looking for keys, though in other times you can simply Shoot Out the Lock or use explosives and heavy weapons to blow a hole in the wall, though enough to make characters like Maddog and Dynamo to be a mild Game-Breaker since they can open almost any door and safe (and not to mention they are free). Although Electronics did let you bypass the penalties for disarming electronic traps and locks (which there were plenty of... later on, after you can just blow holes with your LA Ws). In 1.13's new trait system the old bonuses of the Electronics trait are a part of the more general Technician trait, making them a nice bonus in addition to more useful bonuses the Technician trait provides, unlike the old, very situational Electronic trait. Leadership is a subversion. At first glance, looks relatively useless. Sure, it's good at helping you chat up the locals, but otherwise, it doesn't seem that powerful. But get a few mercs with high leadership together commanding some squads, and morale will shoot up like crazy, and high morale greatly boosts your mercs' performance. Especially noticeable late-game, where mercs who once had pitiful leadership but good wisdom will likely have shot up into the fifty-to-sixty point range (minimum; high-wisdom mercs like MD can be in the nineties) if they've been training militia and teaching other mercs, and your entire force is walking around with maxed morale and slaughtering enemy forces thanks to the hidden stat buffs associated with said maximum morale. | |

| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_8dff7e48 | comment |
In Rage!, thanks to less random stealth mechanics, stealth-killing enemies is much more viable (and wise) idea. All mercs can perform them, even with bare hands. The throwing-knife-kill variety still exists, but is restricted to Shadow only, other only deal normal damage. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_8f233b1b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness: Played straight, Bobby Ray and Tony get better equipment available as you progress. Enemies and militias will also use better equipment as the game progress. Take note that Elite Mooks are given slightly better equipment than the current level, so always steal from them whenever possible. In v1.13, however, there is an option for Bobby Ray's to have all their inventory available immediately. Incredibly game breaking if you 'hack' (more like just edit an INI file in Notepad) to start with, say, a billion dollars. 1.13 comes with an INI editor, so this can be done without hacking even by players with limited technical skills. More legit scenario is to send a merc to San Mona to earn some money from quests, sell weapons and get to the Boss hidden stash. | |

Communications Officer: Some of the mercs have this as a background, which mostly amounted to a fluff reason for their stats and gear. In 1.13 there is a new trait called Radio Operator that allows you to use a backpack radio, with one of the options being able to order the militia from the adjacent sector to provide mortar fire. Beware, for the enemy also has them. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Civilians will wander into mustard gas areas. Better than X-COM though, as when they are caught between the crossfire, they are still smart enough to get down or get to nearby cover and let you hit the baddies behind them. Rookie Militia are deliberately programmed this way, often charging at enemy positions and getting gunned down, and suffering civilians' affections of wandering into mustard gas areas (though they stay on the border, if the cloud expands, they're good as dead). Once they're trained up to regular (or elite) militia, though, they become MUCH smarter. (Even better than Deidranna's elite forces.) On a side note, the AI (enemies or militias) have a lot of trouble fighting non-human enemies (bloodcats and crepitus). Which you can use to your advantage if, for example, you're under attack by a large enemy force and a pack of bloodcats moves into the area. Pull back, consolidate your defensive position, and wait for the cats to run around killing all the hostiles, then mop up the surviving cats. Militia have a problem with making sure they have a clear line of fire. A militiaman with LMG will gleefully open fire on full auto at an enemy soldier, regardless of intervening cattle, civilians, other militia, or very startled mercenaries. AI who are very close to enemies will often forego shooting and instead run in close to beat them down with their bare hands or stab them with knives. This is perfectly fine when fighting human enemies, and even acceptable when used against Crepitus or bloodcats. Not quite so understandable when that militiaman is trying to punch a tank to death. In both Jagged Alliance and Jagged Alliance 2, alerted enemies will sometimes try to reach an alarm trigger to set off a major trap or to blow up a building. Only one enemy will do so, but if that one dies, another will be selected instead, and it's without regard to defensive movement. If a player reaches that point first or sets up a killzone, they can pick off opponents one-by-one. | |

Contrasting Sequel Setting: The first Jagged Alliance takes place in a South Atlantic island, where you are contracted by a researcher named Jack Richards to help liberate said island and and recover his research from a treasonous researcher. Jagged Alliance 2 takes place in a Banana Republic where you're hired by the country's deposed King to depose and kill his wife, the current ruler. Jagged Alliance 3 takes place in a Western African country where you're hired by the President's daughter to rescue her father from a warlord and end a multi-sided civil war. | |

In Vino Veritas | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_96d2ce42 | comment |
In Vino Veritas : One of the first missions the player gets in JA2 is to organise food shipments to the besieged rebel base. The only person who is capable of doing so is Father Walker, a priest sympathetic to the rebel cause, but he initially refuses to help out of fear. However, he is also a well-known drinker and once you give him some alcohol, he drunkingly agrees to supply the rebels with the much-needed food. You can avoid this by bringing Ira with you, or just having a high enough town loyalty in Drassen: if he spawns on the middle sector of the map, he'll refuse to help, but if he spawns on the bottom sector (which means you've likely cleared the other two sectors of bad guys beforehand), he'll be happy to help as clearing all three sectors will raise loyalty enough to get him to help out. Having Ira talk to him will prompt him to help no matter what. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_96ecc67e | comment |
Shotguns Are Just Better: Those rednecks especially just love their shotguns. By late game however, all enemies will be wearing body armor, and along with their limited range (unless you modify them) pretty much limit the shotguns as a stunning weapon (such as for stealing). However, in 1.13, with the availability of Flechette shells, they are now a viable weapon again. BIA also give shotguns realistic range. | |

Big Bad | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_970c790a | comment |
Jagged Alliance 3, while overall lighter in tone compared to Rage!, is darker and more serious than the prior mainline games. The plot deals with a brutal paramilitary takeover of a West African nation that isn't above slavery and openly displaying dead civilians as warnings, a form of Rabies turning people into zombie-like homicidal maniacs, and The Major as well as Colonel Facheaux's forces and the Adonis Corporation is a far more serious villain than the hammy Deidranna. Fitting for the darker and edgier tone Action Movies took in the 2000's. | |

Min-Maxing | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_9885d4ab | comment |
Min-Maxing: Subverted, putting 0 in a skill means the merc will never be able to improve in it (unless they get a critical success — such as accidentally defusing their first mine — to raise that skill from 0 to 1), and improving skills is a big part of what raises a merc's level. Almost all the mercs that you can hire have at least 1 point in every skill, meaning that given enough time and effort, you can train the doctor into an explosive expert (not that you'd want to). You can either suffer trauma to reduce a skill to 0 (which your merc will gradually recover from), or in the case of your custom (IMP) merc, you can set your initial skill to 0 (from a minimum of 35; the game will warn you). If you do, then the merc gains 15 points of stats that can be allocated elsewhere. | |

Diegetic Character Creation: In Jagged Alliance 2, you get a link to an in-game website called the Institution for Mercenary Profiling (I.M.P.) which says it'll give you a total analysis of your mental and physical state to provide an accurate profile, which ends up being the stats and traits of your created mercenary.

Suspiciously Small Army: The queen's army in vanilla JA 2 never attacks with more than two platoons at once, and their strategic points are usually guarded by only around 10 soldiers.

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Shotguns also have a secondary use as a stun-stick: taking a full blow from buckshot, even if it doesn't penetrate armor, is a great way to get the wind knocked out of you (reducing your stamina). Two full blows will put down just about anyone, full armor or not. Slug ammunition is also great at popping heads: though the range on most shotguns is inferior to an assault rifle, a slug shot delivered to an unarmored head will kill anyone (and severely injure anyone not wearing a spectra helmet). | |

Hand Cannon: The bigger revolvers. Some of which sound louder than rifles. In 1.13 the Desert Eagle and the "Automag" weapons become the biggest handguns in the game. The M29 SATAN and the "Big Bertha" Automags (that fire .50 Beowulf rounds) in 1.13. Lampshaded in the .50AE ammo description, which says "If you are using an oversized, unreliable handgun instead of a good rifle, you are going to need the ammunition for it." | |

Made of Iron: One of the few combat tropes averted (mostly), characters will bleed to death in a few hits without armor. The bad news: The ubiquitous elite mooks are armored as well and will take no less than two (non-critical) bursts from a light machinegun to the face at point blank range before they stop making a fuss about your presence. Some of them simmer down quite nicely after a healthy dose of tear gas, though. | |

Respawning Enemies: In the final battle of JA1, the enemy soldiers that die are quickly replaced with the new ones from the unlimited pool (the unverified rumor says that the cap is 99 soldiers), though there can only 8 at the same time. This can be exploited by stunning, but not killing, most of the soldiers, reducing the number of active threats to more manageable 3-1 soldiers. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
One-Hit Kill: Shooting someone in the head with the sniper rifle, a shotgun at the point blank range or any decent rifle worth its name, even when armored, usually just kills the poor sob. 1.13 offers many more ways to do this. Melee attacks from behind, especially "covert" weapons can inflict this. Glaser rounds will outright obliterate any unarmored sod they hit, but are worthless against armor. And sufficiently high-caliber weapons, like the .50 Cal snipers, can easily inflict this regardless of where they hit. | |

Unusable Enemy Equipment | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_a89efe3c | comment |
Unusable Enemy Equipment: Most enemies do not drop all their gear upon death. If you want that bad guy's gun, you have to get in close and steal it from him before killing him. You can only steal weapons or anything in equipped in hand though, you cannot steal ballistic vests, helmets, night vision goggles, or anything else and you can only hope that it drop when they die. Thankfully, in v1.13 you can steal more than just weapons (only when they are knocked down), and also there is an option which make enemies to drop all their equipments on death. This makes a huge difference. In the first game, enemies dropped almost none of their gear, and there was no way to make them do so, which often resulted in the game's primary challenge being dealing with the inevitable ammo shortage. Rocket Rifles come with a palm print scanner that mean they can only be used by its registered user. | |

Breakable Weapons | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_af8974a3 | comment |
Breakable Weapons: Almost all weapons, armour, and other items in the game have a percentage 'status.' Rather than going straight from perfect to useless, weapons slowly degrade, lose range, and jam more often. Armour protects you less the more damaged it is. Aside from a few items, almost everything can be repaired back up to perfect condition, no matter how heavily damaged. Fan mods may adjust the speed of item degradation (as well as the odds of a jam). 1.13 add another layer in form of dirtiness, where the guns in good condition may still jam because they got dirt in them. | |

Inventory Management Puzzle | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_afd68598 | comment |
Inventory Management Puzzle: A very tricky part of the first two Jagged Alliance games was the limited carrying capacity, making the various multi-pocket vests very valuable commodities. How much a pocket could carry was limited to the same item, So you could carry five boxes of shotgun shells in one pocket, but not three .45 clips and two boxes of .357 bullets in the same pocket. Also a gun would take up one single pocket, no matter if it was a .38 revolver or an M-16 rifle. This wasn't so bad in the first game, where you could come back to the same area tomorrow to pick up dropped items (As long as you held the sector) but became very important in Deadly Games, where every mission was one day, and equipment left behind was gone forever. In Jagged Alliance 2, each merc can only carry so much equipment, both in terms of how much stuff they can have and how much weight they can manage based on their strength. 1.13 adds even more complexity to it, as instead of simply giving you a set number of slots of set sizes, you can actually get vests, leg panels, and backpacks of various kinds with an array of pouches to carry a variety of items. There's even heavy backpacks with a huge inventory capacity but which slow down the merc wearing them in combat, which can be dropped to speed them up. You may end up having to (literally) weigh the difference between, for example, a Tactical Tailor Assault Vest (with lots of the ever useful assault rifle pouches), a Russian 106 vest (which gives a large number of different-sized pouches) or a German Flecktarn vest (which offers a good balance of different types). Then there's trying to figure out which rifles accept which scope, which laser sight, and if it'll take a foregrip or grippod. It adds an impressive (or annoying, depending on the player) level of micromanagement and logistics to the game. 1.13 also adds backpacks, which are very useful for carrying additional gear, but severely drain stamina and restrict movement. Fortunately, there's an equally useful "drop backpack" option available for when it's time to spring into action. | |

Instant Militia | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_b412d9d7 | comment |
Instant Militia: Averted, training militia takes skill, time and money. 1.13 gives you an option to play this straight with the PMC Kerberus, which for the hefty fee will deliver already trained militia a day later. Justified somewhat in Jagged Alliance 3. Saving cultural artifacts instead of selling them will give Emma LaFontaine more legitimacy and be able to raise militia to reinforce locations you already liberated. However you only get one squad per artifact as National pride only goes so far. | |

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_b4696bc | comment |
Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: Since the main focus on the game is fighting squads and platoons, and there's a hard limit on stats (For humans, at least), a single target is hardly a challenge without backup. And even with backup, they're usually not that much tougher than the Elite Mooks. Thus, every boss in JA2 could be considered one. The Warden of Tixa Prison is less combat effective than any of her mooks, and less dangerous, unless she gets the jump on you somehow and sprays a full burst of rounds into one of your people. The legendary mercenary Mike gives you a 'head start' before beginning his attack. Though where you fight him changes, he's still likely to be one of the last few enemies, and a fairly easy target for your entire team to attack. The only thing is that several AIM members are unwilling to kill him, easily circumvented by the few that don't are either superior to him (namely, Ivan and Gus), hate him already (Fox once dated the creep), or are out of sight and lobbing mortars. Others simply don't care and some of the rookies aren't as intimidated, having never actually seen him in action before. The Crepitus queen in sci-fi mode is the closest thing to a real boss in the game. But she is immobile, meaning any merc of a decent level (to avoid interrupts) can walk into her room, throw a grenade (gas is surprisingly effective) and walk out a few times. Kingpin, the 'Godfather' of San Mona also qualifies if you wish to fight him (to steal his money, because he is scum, or just for fun). He is better than the warden, but still, he goes down as easily as any of his thugs or the queen's red shirts. (Just have to make sure you survive his revenge-fueled army patrolling in his artificial town.) Even though Deidranna is, individually, a lot tougher than you'd expect, she's still only one target against your entire squad. Especially since she stays out of the way while you fight her elite guard, and doesn't actually start attacking until you assault her. The General in Alma is tough (taking four shots to the head), but by the time you meet him, you've probably cleared his goons in the nearby room, and once he gets hostile, you're most likely right in front of him... and it's your turn first. Darryl Hick, the terrorist hillbilly grandfather near Cambria is only armed with a hunting rifle, a lot less deadly than any of the queen's red shirts who are much better armed, he also doesn't wear a helmet, so a shot to the head will finish him. His bastard kids, on the other hand, are deadly on account of full-auto shotguns in CQC - but that's if you don't have Spectra or EOD armor... or didn't rig the place to explode. | |

Deadly Games ditched the strategic elements and the above colors now represent different Color Coded Squads plus White for NPCs. Jagged Alliance 2 has Yellow, Red and Black enemies in rising order of danger and Green, Light Blue and Dark Blue militia in rising order of competence. | |

With 1.13, revolvers come into their own, especially when dual-wielded by a merc with Gunslinger and Ambidexterity. Put a laser sight, reflex sight, and scope on a big, powerful model like an Anaconda or Redhawk, load them with AP or AET ammo, and two revolvers become medium-range murder machines. | |

They realized what's up four days later, and tried to kill Granger as payback. He survived, and because of that Gus and Ziggy have bad relations with A.I.M., forcing Gus to work as a middle man in the merc business. We are tasked to kill Granger later in the game. | |

If you kill HIM, you can't receive further shipments at all until you reach Meduna itself (to use their airport), and take a hit in loyalty amongst Pablo's town. | |

Cycle of Hurting | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_c121be7b | comment |
Cycle of Hurting: In Jagged Alliance 2, Mustard Gas grenades work like this. If your character is not wearing a gas mask, and walks into a Mustard Gas cloud (or, more commonly, a Mustard Gas grenade is lobbed at him), the character will likely suffer a lot of damage and pass out. At this point, the character cannot be moved (he's passed out) and his inventory cannot be accessed, so he cannot be told to wear his gas mask if he has one at all. Each turn, the gas will drain a large amount of health and breath points from the character, making sure that he cannot escape. To make matters worse, it is even impossible to move the body out of the cloud by having another mercenary drag or lift it, so the afflicted mercenary just lies there in the cloud, completely helpless, until death. If you're fortunate though, the gas may dissipate before the character actually dies. In Back In Action and Crossfire, actions like aiming and reloading are reset when you're hit; no matter how many damage you suffer from or if you wear body armour, each hit has this effect. So, if one of your mercs is caught flat-footed by the enemy in a 1 VS 1 fight, he is already dead unless his weapon is faster than the other and he is accurate enough or have them just try to run to cover. This feature affects the AI troops, too; the safest way to win a short-range/middle-range fight is, of course, to exploit this with rain of small caliber fast weapons, which Scratch Damage mainly serves to buy time in order to allow the mercs with heavier weapons to able able to aim. | |

Continuing is Painful: Losing your best mercs in a botched operation or running out of funds to keep said mercs on board at the worst possible time in most games can make things significantly more difficult. While not impossible to recover from nor an automatic game over, more often than not it's better to start over. This becomes even more pronounced with Ironman mode in the third game, which removes Save Scumming as an option and makes every mistake all the more palpable. | |

Slay, one of the wanted 'terrorists' is just one of these, and he was only put into the wanted list merely because he had outlived his usefulness to his previous employers who feared he may turn against them. He can be recruited in later patches. | |

Self-Destruct Mechanism | |

Self-Destruct Mechanism: In the first game, when trying to capture the processing plants, the enemy will try to set off explosives to destroy the plant, rendering it temporarily inoperative. | |

With This Herring | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_c7270d1c | comment |
With This Herring: Played with. The mercenaries you pick have limited starting weapons, generally consisting of sidearms and some gear associated with their specialization. Usually, the more expensive the merc, the better the starting gear. However, said gear is generally much better than whatever the initial enemies of cops and random soldiers use, but you'll either be purchasing weapons or fixing up stolen gear later on in the game. Even more apparent in Rage!, although justified by the circumstances - your mercs escape from captivity with nothing more than a few almost empty pistols and a few bottles of water. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Back in Action and Crossfire, three of the four mercs you control during the tutorial are named "Hartman", "Cow Boy", and "Joker". The fourth is named "Stanley". Gus using the nickname "Woodrow" for the player is probably a reference to the novel Lonesome Dove, where the two main characters are named Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call. As the story of Jagged Alliance 3 progresses, not only are references made to African-themed war films like The Wild Geese and Tears of the Sun, but also Heart of Darkness, especially once the Legion's true nature is revealed and The Dogs of War once the Adonis Corporation's Regime Change scheme comes to light. | |

Cannon Fodder: The basic lower-tier enemies encountered in every game are little more than disposable thugs, militia, and forced conscripts who can and will die in droves. That doesn't make them harmless, however, especially when a few lucky shots can still down your own mercs. | |

Child Soldiers: Mentioned by Deidranna in frustration at the uselessness of her own soldiers. Elliot takes the exclamations seriously, and suffers for it. In Deadly Games, during one of the mission briefings Gus tells you how a near-perfect mission he was participating in was almost ruined because a child shot him in the leg and could have done worse if one of his squadmates didn't stun the kid. His wound gets worse through the game. | |

Death of a Thousand Cuts | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_cadf2d2a | comment |
5.56mm ammunition in general is one of these. Compared with other ammunition calibers, its damage and penetration are unremarkable. However, its high accuracy and the fact that virtually every enemy squad will have a few troops carrying rifles shooting it means that it will be very available and highly reliable. Even if your shots don't easily penetrate enemy armor, each hit will exhaust them until they either pass out, you get a lucky hit, or their wounds add up and they either bleed out or run away. | |

Ballistic Discount | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_cc86a5a1 | comment |
Ballistic Discount: Shopkeepers drop their inventory when killed, but this is a bad idea in general, especially if you've trained a town militia. There's also a couple of characters who demand bribe money who can then be gunned down to get your cash back. Raul in Unfinished Business can be killed to obtain his inventory from a crate next to him. However, if you don't kill him instantly, or are too slow on the draw to get a shot off before he notices you trying to kill him, he'll detonate a bomb that kills him and destroys ALL of his inventory. | |

Tank Goodness | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_cd809603 | comment |
Tank Goodness: Tanks start showing up on the outskirts of Meduna. They're immune to small arms fire, and grenades barely scratch the hull. LAW and HEAT rocket-propelled grenades are more effective, though you'll need multiple hits on them. If you're especially ballsy, a merc with C4 or other explosives can sneak in under the cover of smoke or darkness (the tanks' vision is severely limited at night) and drop charges right next to it before skedaddling. If they return fire with their machineguns, however, your mercs are going to get cut to bloody ribbons. A mod for the 1.13 mod allows them to move, and they can be a part of enemy patrols. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: There's a few in the sequel: Minor, but when you liberate your first town, a woman shows up to angrily demand why you are here. If you give her the letter right away, she confusedly asks what it is - it doesn't happen if you try to talk with her and explain who you are. If one of your mercenaries surrenders, they'll be transported to a prison - which is accessible on the map. Your target, Deidranna, will be there to interrogate them. If you have mercenaries already on site, they can find and kill her there. Enrico gets more and more agitated the longer you take your time liberating Medina, with increasingly irritated e-mails. Shooting the kid or the civilian after liberating the first town has you ambushed by a VERY angry Dmitri. Using the mortuary's webshop to send flowers to Meduna will give you a little video of Deidranna's response to your taunting. When Miguel sees Ira kill an enemy soldier, one of his barks is "Ira, you are full of surprises!". Considering that Ira has one of the highest wisdom stats in the game and has spent about six in-game months on the battlefield since the last time she and Miguel went into battle together, and will more likely than not have become one of your most competent shooters in that time... yeah, the devs saw it coming. | |

Justified, however, given how the Kriegsmarine had operated around Grande Chien at the time (even having a bunker on Ernie Island), and that the Legion isn't above scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to equipping its low-tier Cannon Fodder. | |

Handguns | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_dbbba507 | comment |
Handguns: Useless after the first few battles out in the open. It was revamped in 1.13 though, with the addition of AET bullets which are only available in pistol calibers, as well as holsters for easy storage that everyone should have one as backup. Dual silenced pistols on the hands of an ambidextrous merc can be deadly in stealthy night ops. Handguns also prove to be a good secondary weapon for soldiers who use slower or heavier weapons but end up in close quarters. Thanks to their low AP cost in both readying and firing, they are effective at room clearing or shooting someone who runs up to your merc in close and triggers an interrupt. This is, in fact, the single biggest reason why dual-wielding troops are so deadly in close: in the time it takes a rifle or shotgun-wielder to fire a couple of shots, a dual-wielding trooper can fire off six to ten rounds, and every hit will knock some breath out of the target. | |

Artificial Brilliance | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_df11acbe | comment |
Artificial Brilliance: Enemy AI is clever enough to investigate noises, patrol areas, and take up good firing positions on rooftops. It is also smart enough to accurately mimic bad decisions, like poorly-trained and overwhelmed soldiers running back and forth in a mindless panic, or large numbers of troops laying down suppression fire at your smaller numbers of mercenaries in an effort to take advantage of how many guns they have. 1.13 expands their intelligence greatly, resulting in an AI that aggressively flanks and sneaks around, trying to hit you from directions you're not expecting. If you don't pair up your mercs and cover all angles, they will surround you. If your troops are in good cover, the AI will pelt them with grenades to force them out of cover. If you have rooftop snipers set up, they'll try to sneak around and climb onto the roof behind your snipers. Enemy snipers will lie down in cover and use spotters to locate your people and blast them from across the map. Soldiers from neighboring sectors will even come to reinforce their compatriots if you start up a major gunfight. Militia AI, while not that brilliant (see below) is still surprisingly clever. For example, if a merc is wounded, militia troops will move closer to the merc in question to cover him/her while you move a medic in to patch them up. | |

Short-Range Long-Range Weapon | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_df3b0af7 | comment |
Short-Range Long-Range Weapon: Sniper rifles suffer from this. Although, otherwise they would be game breakers. v1.13 does give them much more range. Unfortunately, the enemy has them too. Not so much a game breaker when your mercs are suffering headshots from across the map. Later builds of 1.13 adjusts it so that the more powerful scopes have a mininum distance, inside of which they add penalties instead of bonuses to accuracy. Each movement square is roughly 1foot in diameter. Range treats every square as 10meters however. This ends with weapons being roughly 1/33rd their real life range. Even a sniper rifles with nearly 800meters effective range only travel about 80squares. | |

Improbable Taxonomy Skills: Everyone has a comment on the monstrous and unearthly creatures you'll inevitably encounter if you tick the "Sci-Fi" option. Most mercenaries express various forms of surprise, but the medical doctors of your team will immediately start pinning down their taxonomy at first sight.

Even though Deidranna is, individually, a lot tougher than you'd expect, she's still only one target against your entire squad. Especially since she stays out of the way while you fight her elite guard, and doesn't actually start attacking until you assault her. | |

| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_e3d06d0c | comment |
Bash Brothers: Several characters mesh together very well. One example would be Henning von Branitz and Rudolf Steiger, a former East German officer and GSG-9 operative respectively. Despite having been on opposite sides of the Berlin Wall, they get along really well and often compliment one another in combat. Igor and Ivan Dolvich, along with Grunty, also form a hell of a team, as do Grizzly and Bull. As the game progresses, certain characters who work together often will develop a rapport and become these, signified when they start complimenting each other in combat (i.e. Ice will get along well with Grizzly, saying he's "got style, dude!"). This is also the only way you'll get a merc to join your team if there's someone s/he hates on your team already: hire their buddy, and they'll agree to join, and stay on as long as their buddy stays and they're kept away from the merc they hate. | |

Expy: Stogie is pretty much a younger Gus Tarballs, minus his speed penalty and not as good of a leader. Gus Tarballs fills in Mike's role - hideously expensive and arguing with AIM over salary, but extremely good in nearly everything and with the best starting equipment out of any merc. Crossfire is set in a Central Asia cold and mountainous country, with autochtones having Persian and Arabic names, and which has been invaded by a army of religious fundamentalists. It is a fictional counterpart of Afghanistan. | |

Concealment Equals Cover: Averted. There is a complex system in the game to calculate the concealment and protective potential of every possible combination of cover element, merc positioning and incoming projectiles. Flimsy cover like bushes or dinner tables will hide you but won't deter most bullets. Moreover, armor piercing munition has been known to pierce right through walls and doors often. | |

Groin Attack | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: With v1.13, locational damage generally results in hits to the legs, shoulders, arms, or head that can inflict stat damage and knock opponents down. But very, very rarely, you get a hit in on the groin, and the pain pretty much paralyzes the target completely as if they'd been dropped by a stun grenade. For some reason, Razor seems to have a much higher chance of scoring groin attacks than other mercs. | |

0% Approval Rating: Deidranna's regime, at least among the majority of the population. The extremely wealthy, business tycoons, and the elite elements of the military all work for her willingly and happily, with some old-money families even selling out relatives working for the rebels to the secret police. However, among the general populace of the country, virtually everyone openly calls for her death, and the rare few that don't are apathetic. Even the soldiers that prop up her regime are mostly forced conscripts who only work for her out of fear. | |

Artificial Insolence: In Jagged Alliance, some mercenaries such as Fidel "Leave me alone I busy" Dahan cannot disengage from attacking an enemy. Subsequent actions must be another attack on the target, until the enemy is downed or moves from their position. This insolence doesn't detect playing with inventory, where unequipping a weapon forces disengagement. | |

Take Cover!: The staple of the series, most evident in the first game with its impenetrable Kevlar bushes. the 1.13 mod allows players to make and unmake their own cover with sandbags, currently limited to maps with buildings. Note that while cover is important, it's not always perfect. Armour-piercing rounds are capable of punching through some walls, though with a noticeable drop in lethality. The third game adds a full cover system similar to the one in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Trevor Colby in the second game. He's described as a wiz-kid and has the skills to match, with decent marksmanship, good tech and explosive skills, some medical skill, and a range of decent-to-high quality gear. He starts at level one, and by the time you can afford to hire him, your mercenaries are probably level 7 to above. His bio specifically states that he's new to the business and just needs a chance to prove himself. Michael "MD" Dawson: he's one of the absolute cheapest mercs to hire (the only AIM merc cheaper is Bull), and his marksmanship skills leave something to be desired. But his medical skill is outstanding and his Wisdom skill is extremely high, which means he'll learn marksmanship at an incredible rate. If he's hired at the beginning of the game and kept alive, he can easily be one of your best shooters by the end of it. And he also has a hidden bonus when it comes to using knives in close combat, which can be useful at the beginning of the game when you're typically fighting at close range. | |

Arbitrary Headcount Limit | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_f3cf30d9 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: You can hire up to 8 mercenaries in the first two games, 8 native guards per sector, and there can only be 8 enemies in the sector, which can be exploited in the final battle in JA1 (enemy limit is removed in Deadly Games). Vanilla JA2 allows you to hire up to 18 mercenaries, including the locals, which can be modified to 32 in v1.13 and raising the number of militia and soldiers in each sector to up to forty each. As you can imagine, the gunfights get pretty nuts. And as of this edit, there is a modification in very early development that removes the limit, or rather raises it very high, and lets you hire all the mercs (theoretically up to 256 mercs) and face against up to 512 enemies with the help of maximum 512 militia. Downplayed in Back In Action and Crossfire. The 2010s real-time remakes work with squads, which maximum size is six men; nothing technically prevents to enter a map with several squads, although controlling several squads in the same time requires a lot of painful micromanagement. The trope is averted about the total number of squads, because if you have enough money, you can hire all the available mercenaries (although some of them will refuse to join because they absolutely hate some of those who are already there). Rage! only allows a choice of two mercs (from a list of six) for the majority of the game, with a third becoming available upon contacting AIM HQ and a fourth if you manage to rescue Fidel. This is handwaved by the job initially paying enough for three people, including Fidel, and for La Résistance putting forward enough money to pay for an extra merc. 3 will only let you hire fifteen mercs from A.I.M. on top of your custom merc. However, you can recruit a number of M.E.R.C. and local fighters on top of this number. | |

Cadre of Foreign Bodyguards: In Jagged Alliance 2, while Deidranna mainly uses We Have Reserves forced conscripts, at least one (the others may be, but they don't have names or faces) of her close bodyguards are foreign mercenaries. Of course, by the game's premise, all but a small handful of the party are foreign mercs as well. Your team can wind up doing this to the tourists trapped in one of the towns. | |

| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Read Invulnerable Civilians above and There Is No Kill Like Overkill below. It's also satisfying to keep shooting someone's legs until they fall over, groan helplessly, and bleed to death painfully. Invoked with Doreen, the asshole running a child sweatshop in the first town you take. The mercs enjoy going to town on her. It is entirely viable for you to stand back and let militia and Dedriana's soldiers fight it out in 1.13, then loot the subsequent corpses of all their dropped gear. Especially veterans, who will have gear comparable to Deidrianna's elites. You can even... hurry it along with a few well-placed mustard gas shells. In Jagged Alliance 2 it's possible to sell a female merc to a group of inbred hicks as a Breeding Slave in return for their enormous stash of weapons. The only penalty is permanently losing the said merc. The whole thing is played for questionable laughs. | |

Shoo Out the Clowns: 2 was much darker and more serious in tone than the first game. Accordingly, the list of mercs removed from the roster largely consists of characters who were useless, silly or just plain implausible. While 3 is noticeably darker even compared to its predecessor, the stakes become more serious and amplified once Colonel Facheaux and his men turn on you. | |

The Dog Bites Back | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_fb3576b2 | comment |
The Dog Bites Back: If a mercenary is captured and gives all information to Deidranna on their fellow mercs, Elliot will wait until Deidranna leaves... then will giggle, scream "YOU IDIOT!" at the mercenary, and punch them. Taken further in Rage!, where Elliot has suffered some serious Sanity Slippage, likely the result of his gunshot wound to the head, and has sworn revenge on AIM. | |

Friendly Rivalry | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_fbd5fda1 | comment |
3 sets up Scope and Shadow to be this. Both are talented snipers, but where Scope is a talkative, sociable urban combat specialist, Shadow is a taciturn loner whose preferred environments are open wilderness. Their rivalry is pretty amicable, though, and the worst they do if put on assignment together is swap tall tales and try to one-up each other. | |

Every Bullet is a Tracer: You can see your bullets, but V 1.13 adds in actual tracers, which give your characters an aiming bonus at the cost of the enemy knowing where you are immediately. | |

Fun with Subtitles | |
| Jagged Alliance (Video Game) / int_fdb355db | comment |
Fun with Subtitles: You can almost feel the mischievous glee of the developers once you discover that Ivan's Russian dialog is subtitled also in Russian, making him The Unintelligible for most of the target audience. (Ivan learns more English as the series progresses. And not just the swear words!) | |

Brick Joke: Hamous left AIM by stealing an Ice Cream truck in Paris and heading to Istanbul in it, according to his bio on the AIM site. He managed to wind up on a South American country.... Not that he's lost, he's just... lost. | |
