Description
Meet the old/new mercenary, Biff Apscott - and continue his story from JA2 with this voiced mod. Is there a greater hero in Grand Chien than Biff? Is there any chance for Biff to reconcile with Flo?

Biff Apscott

BIO - The Folk Hero Foretold

It is hard to find the proper choice of words to describe the phenomenon called Biff Apscott, hence here is an excerpt from the M.E.R.C. Dossier: We can't even begin to list the number of battles Biff Apscott has witnessed. His experience, dedication and willingness to part with his retirement fund has made this agency what it is today. In a private moment between warriors, Col. Leon Roachburn once said Biff is 'a fearless leader of men. A man without equal.'

PS: During a most recent assignment, to no small astonishment of the whole A.I.M. organization, Biff Aspcott emerged as a sort of a foretold folk hero among the local Grand Chien populace.

PPS: While he explicitly asks to be put on the same team with Florence Flo Gabriel, we at A.I.M. are really not so sure if that would be such a great idea.

Contains:
- New Merc: Biff Apscott (voiced)
- New Custom Perk/Operation: The Folk Hero Foretold

Major update:

- No more perk icon duplication on mod reloads
- Converted The Folk Hero Foretold perk to UnitReactions
- Small correction to the The Folk Hero Foretold operation
- New The Folk Hero Foretold operation icon (on timeline)
- You can now install https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3145243846 and Larry (clean) will now like Biff, while Nails, Meltdown, Larry (stoned) will hate him
- Cleaned up some warnings

One of my favorite JA2 playthroughs was using exclusively MERC mercs.
Its a big handicap but was worth it knowing how pathetic you start out at first, then becoming OP in the end.

Hi key and thanks for your work! Are you planning to do with some of the missing JA2 mercs what you did for Biff? Biff looks like he belongs in JA3. I end up turning off some of the others I've subscribed to (not just yours) because the profile pics are ripped straight out of JA2 and look really out of place among the new portraits.Thanks again and cheers!

The only thing I know of currently is to delay them a fixed amount of days. Maybe there are other options already, but I am not aware of them yet.
Ideally how it should go is e.g. you rescue Biff, and depending on your actions/conversation choices/mercs you have/etc Biff joins you at that point on that map/ or he doesn't. This would be the best for immersion, and I certainly would like to do this.
With additional modding options I am sure this will be possible.

@Key Somewhat n00b question, since I have no experience with what we can/can't do where editing is concerned as yet.. But concerning your AIM mercs who already appear in game somewhere (I think just Biff and Granny so far), would it be possible to delay them showing up on AIM and/or being available to hire until "X Happenns"? (In Biff's case, once you rescue him and he's not dead, for Granny either after meeting her or possibly after the whole projector thing)?

It'd be nice for 'story immersion'. When I see Biff all set to be hired on AIM my brain goes, "But.. How can I hire Biff to go rescue... Biff?!" xD

Assuming this would even be possible, I'd think it'd then be simple to give users a choice of how and when to enable them with Mod Options settings so people who don't care can still just grab them from day 1.

Anyway.. just an idea. Again, great job as always regardless. ^_^

I like Biff, he makes the game interesting! Great job btw!

All we need now is his MERC buddy Speck haha!
