Subject: JA2: Mercs' stats, skills, interactions, and locations (** spoilers **)
From: mad_sci@usa.net (Mad Sci)
Date: Sat, 21 Aug 1999 01:53:28 GMT

Following are the stats, skills, interactions, and locations of all recruitable
personalities in JA2. The tables are split into 3 parts for AIM, MERC, and
local hires. Some notes and equations follow. The tables fit in an 80-col
limit and should be viewed with a fixed-pitch font.

Note: I goofed on the training militia score for Conrad (and may be Vince).
The Repair option was grayed out, so I thought it was just a zero score, but I
found that the option is also disabled if there wasn't anything in the sector
to be fixed. If anybody can tell me the militia score for Conrad before he
gains in any of his stats, I'd appreciate it.

Notes:

1) Larry 2 is Larry when in drunken state.

2) The robot is only active when a merc uses its remote control, which
excludes the use of night goggles or an ear extender.

3) For AIM mercs, if A hates B and both are in same sector, then A
won't extend contract; if A hates B but likes C and all are in same
sector, then A will extend contract. AIM mercs will always honor
the full length of the contract. For MERC mercs, if A hates B and
both are in same sector, then A will quit.

Exceptions: Static will not sign even if Larry is in different
sector; Dynamo hates Bubba but won't quit even if in same sector.

4) The equation for Training Militia is

(LDR + WIS + (LVL * 10)) / 2.5, rounded to nearest integer

for Teaching, add 30% (times 1.3) before rounding, for Teaching
Expert, add 60% (times 1.6) before rounding.

This equation applies to all but local hires, all of whom have
a non-determinate bonus to their Training Militia score.

5) The approximate equation for Healing is

(DEX + WIS + (LVL* 10)) * MED / 491, rounded to nearest integer


Local Hires:

Carlos: Omerta underground (A10). Available after 5 cities captured
(Omerta & San Mona don't count).

Conrad: Alma (H13). Talk sequence = direct, recruit.

Dimitri: Omerta underground (A10). Available after "deliver food"
quest. Forgetful like Gasket.

Dynamo: Tixa prison (J9). Talk sequence = friendly until he quits,
then recruit. Is subject of rescue quest from head miner in Alma.

Hamous: Random road square, generally between Drassen & Cambria, or San
Mona & Cambria. Has Ice Cream Truck (Hamous can be dismissed after
getting the truck). Only shows up once.

Iggy: San Mona bar, above Shady Lady (C5). Has rocket rifle.

Ira: Omerta underground (A10).

Maddog: Estoni (I6). Psycho. Has CAWS shotgun.

Miguel: Omerta underground (A10). Available after 5 cities captured.

Robot: With AWOL scientist, in a secret partition of a barn (random
location). Must press switch in adjacent house to access partition.
Must get rifle & video camera (vidcam from Balime electronic store or
tool store) to obtain robot. May be effective against bugs which
can't smell it.

Shank: Tixa dungeon (J9). Enable gas supply if brought to Estoni and
talk to Jake. Not good for anything except as a trainer.

Vince: Cambria Hospital (F8). Available after "find Joey" quest.
Hospital treatment thereafter can be free.


Vehicles:

Helicopter: Drassen Airport (B13). Available after "find chopper
pilot" quest. Costs $100 per safe sector entered or $1000 per
dangerous (in enemy SAM range) sector entered. Will not enter
enemy-occupied sector. Chopper will later transfer to Estoni (I6)
after the "escort Shank" quest and gas supply is enabled.

Ice Cream Truck: See Hamous above.

Hummer: L10. Buy it from the guy there for $10,000.
