Sofia, Bulgaria / Vienna, Austria, December 11th, 2023: The universe of Grand Chien continues to expand as Haemimont Games prepares to launch the upcoming update for Jagged Alliance 3 on both PC and consoles next week.

To complement the theme, update 1.4 introduces a new underground transportation system, ensuring the name's relevance.

Such as Sat View improvements like a revamped Conflict Screen, multiselection in the inventory, sector stash overhaul, and tweaks to some Operations, as well as many other smaller fixes and adjustments.

It's a Modders World: Jagged Alliane 3 Gets Free Content Update Today!
Sofia, Bulgaria / Vienna, Austria, February 6th, 2024: With its latest free update, Patch 1.5 "Larry", the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy game Jagged Alliance 3 introduces new content in the form of optional and variable rule sets, enriching your campaign in Grand Chien with fresh challenges and opportunities. Among the examples of how to intensify the trials for your Mercs are features like "Body Count," where your fellow warriors confront larger enemy squads, "Hard Lessons," which prolongs the time needed for a Merc to level up, and "Ammo Scarcity," as the name suggests, introduces scarcity of ammunition. Conversely, players can also leverage rules such as "A.I.M Legendary Deals," which reduce the starting salaries of elite and legendary Mercs, aiding their strategic endeavors. Players have the liberty to combine these rules as they see fit, shaping their challenges as they embark on their mission to liberate Grand Chien!
Moreover, update 1.5 empowers dedicated modders with extensive tools to modify, enhance, and even rebuild most aspects of the game. We eagerly anticipate the release of outstanding mods in the upcoming weeks and months.
Update 1.5 "Larry" includes:
New extensive modding tools: Create new campaigns, and quests, edit maps, and much more.
10 new game rules: Customize the difficulty of each playthrough with these optional new rules and combine them as you see fit
Some issues fixed

If you want to go an extra mile for this, you could mod in a custom portrait and voice lines. I can confirm this to be possible for JA2 as I have done it myself years ago and I would assume it to be possible also in JA3. Modding it in JA2 is not that hard if you are satisfied with having a static image as a portrait with no frames for mouth movement when talking, blinking etc., it's still possible to add those animations, but that would mean putting in much more work. There are links to a Polish JA2 website containing modding tutorials, which you could run through google translate. Alternatively, I could post screenshots with explanations on how it's done.Vergil wrote: ↑ February 3rd, 2024, 23:34Can I make my own man and give him an eyepatch and perhaps name him Big Bossu
