Starting Mercs Done Right! v2

Description
Some Mercs start with unfitting perks.

This mod changes some starting perks of some A.I.M. mercs with the goal to give the player more viable options and to streamline some builds.

Most changes are minimal. Didn't change merc stats or prices.
Works best with my other mod "Only 2 Perks to Top" ;-)

Version 2 is out now! Check the new & improved Starting Mercs!
20 of the 36 A.I.M. Mercs have been modded. Check the logs below and pictures above!

See full changelog here[www.docdroid.net]
Also shown on discord.[discord.com]

Not on save-games. New Game needed.

Compatible to all mods
except those that change the same mercs perks.
- I've seen one mod that does that: Mercs Reloaded and it gets no longer updated and its changes are mostly included in here.

Thanx to the counsel of Elders of modding-help on discord. Rato, Witzzard, Archimedes, CaesarWolny and even the great Feanor. Without their kindness, patience and knowledge my clueless self could have never done this mod.
Many thanx to mousetrapreplica whose thoughtful feedback had a considerable influence on the redo. Thank you!

Ima simple man - I like simple mods. Check my other ones:
- Bloods Endless Knives Sharpened
- Only 2 Perks To Top
- Lower APs for Pistols&MPs

Good point Macross - I just noticed that my changelog link here is no longer online, sadly.

In it I mentioned about Raven "...her bios says "used the cover of night", but there's already many NightOps Mercs - but no Stealthy & Automatics Merc in JA3.

Plus with her Talent TopSpotter she now can sneak forward and actually spot (and mark) bad guys for the team."

So I expanded the lore here to have a Sneak+Auto Merc in JA3 (like Igor was in JA2). It is true tho that she shines as machinegunner mostly and maybe there should be a change.

Which other merc could do Stealth and Auto? Maybe I should just add nightops to Raven (if I remember how to do it X))

Raven used to have nightops in JA2. I think its fits her better then stealth cos she shines as a machinegunner imo. :steamthumbsup:

Did a duals-only single run with my Keanu. Great fun.
But no return. Replayability too low. Gameplaywise just too many downgrades from JA2.
These are the other reasons I stopped playing:

LOL, Yeah I am running BobaYaga too! I think they are done breaking stuff, so now might be a good time to come back?
Ze one  [author] 13 Jan @ 7:39am 
Thanx man. Enjoy!

Them breaking my favourite mods was one of the reasons I stopped playing.
Just lucky I finished my single-John-Wick run before they disabled the Dualie mod.haha

Well hopefully they are done, I went through your mod again and it does seem to be in working order. Another mod was causing me errors. I do understand as I am a modder myself and it is frustrating when devs break stuff. Take care buddy.

@Xeryx Haven't cared for JA3 for a year.

Although JA3 devs regularly destroy good, working mods with their silly updates, I think tbh that it is unlikely that this mod causes any issues because moddingwise it changes very little and nothing structural or scriptwise.

So Idc any more, bc I don't play it any more.
Please be more specific describing the issues.

If you want a suggestion - maybe visit the 'free' Mercs we can recruit - Smiley, Pierre, Larry and so on - see what your fixes and changes to them would look like

Nice! Upload it, share da luv.:steamhappy:

To everybody:
Making small changes in this mod is super-ez. Just open the built-in Mod-Editor, look for the mod in the list and open it up. The rest is pretty much self-explanatory.
Ask if any questions arise. Only thing is that some perks are named differently in the game and the files, but I trust you'll figure it out!

it works fine with 1.5 from what ive played so far. i just went ahead and made the changes to dr q and fox myself, although im curious how that will work when it comes time to play a coop game with a friend in a couple days
