[edit] Spliting This Into Individual Games?

just an idea, but prehaps I could help to make two seperate pages. JA and JA2 especialy have many true to life items and roles which I think could deserve some cross linking to the topics discussed in the game. Ambidextros 05:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to second this. There's no good way to add those infoboxes using the current format. SharkD 18:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thirded(?). Definitely deserve separate entries for JA and JA2. Geoff B 13:18, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RPG?

I noticed anon user 149.225.240.149 added this to the Category "Role-playing computer games". Does anyone else consider it an RPG? I've always considered it solely a strategy/tactical game. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:21, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)

The sequel, JA2, was described as an RPG by its producers. It involves, among other things, talking to NPCs.Redxela Sinnak July 3, 2005 08:17 (UTC)

[edit] Section Issues

This Wiki should be renamed "Jagged Alliance Series". "Jagged Alliance" should link to a description of the first title in the series. I would make these changes myself, but I don't want to break anything :P I may attempt this change at a later date (when I have fully educated myself on how to do this) Redxela Sinnak July 3, 2005 08:17 (UTC)

More correctly, it would be "Jagged Alliance series" (small 's' on series). It's easy to do, but you'd have to reword some of the article, too. Use the "Movie this page" button to move the article. — Frecklefoot | Talk July 5, 2005 20:09 (UTC)

Someone should add that Jagged Alliance 3D is a remake of Jagged Alliance:Deadly Games. -Critter

[edit] Strategy First

Can anyone else remember sirtech saying the rights were going to SF as SF would keep most of the staff on developing a sequel in house for SF? --Bastion 21:11, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

According to this interview, Strategy First holds the license to distribute JA:3D in the United States. However, it's also obvious that since JA:3D is being developed by MiST Land, a Russian developer, and it's obvious from the screenshots that whoever's writing the dialogue has difficulty with English (i.e., it'll need to be localized), it doesn't seem that the Sirtech staff is involved in making the sequel. siafu 02:25, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JA for DS?

Can somebody confirm that Strategy First indeed is going to port JA to the Nintendo DS? The announcement is from 2005 but no other news about this have been released so far. --sys2074 03:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brigade E5

Strategy First recently released this new game called Brigade E5: New Jagged Union that shares a great many traits with the Jagged Alliance series, especially in GUI. I'm not sure if this is the game MIST Land South/GFI was working on, as Brigade E5 was developed seemingly independently from SirTech by a Russian company named 1C or Aperion in some screenshots. I say "seemingly independent" because apparently the storyline and dialogue scripts were written by Shaun Lyng, a designer on the original JA series. I'm wondering if we should mention this somewhere in the article.--YoungFreud 18:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JA 3

For those understanding Russian here is a new press-release on JA3. http://www.akella.com/ru/newsarchive/2006/12/08/ja3/ Probably that should be added in the article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.237.200.91 (talk) 19:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC).

No, we can't add it unless there is an English version of the statement. We don't link to foreign-language websites. It can be included on the Russian version of Wikipedia, however. What does it say? A synopsis of it can be included in the article and the site can be the reference for the material. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Google has a beta for Russian to English. click here for translation. It sounds like boilerplate marketing mumbo-jumbo.

[edit] Port to SDL

The exists an port do SDL, should the article mention it? [1] Plastefuchs

[edit] Steam

The game is confirmed as broken and unpatched on steam. Why is this not allowed to be mentioned in the article?

Please review WP:RS and WP:NOR. Hope that helps. Regards, Nandesuka 00:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
