Also, I'm sure you know, there are some mercs Mike used to respect, so he did not think of 'em all as rookies. Also he had many enemies, even before turning coat. If I remember the lore correctly. Did you include relations on this mod?

Why not make him a cyborg by altering his model, pics, and taking some +/- liberties with his stats and perks while at it? Mike presumably died in Arulco afterall, and maybe there could be some sinister pseudo-mason organisation willing to rebuild such a legend for their own needs?

There are some big errors in here that need to be fixed. Please run in Modding mode launcher to find them.

IMP version?

Your mod is in conflict with the Si Ni and Algerino mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3274465048 . The mods are mixed up.
Your mod is not excluded from the download, but the above mod replaces the background in the game, only the parameters merc from your mod remain.

Thank you :) I haven't noticed anything yet, but if I do, I promise to let you know. Love his banter! Him telling Fox maybe they broke up for a reason made me laugh so hard! Brilliant mod :)

Hey thanks Jedietta. I haven't updated -Mike for quite some time and the game as been updated a lot since I played. So, if there's something now working properly please leave here a message. I still check the steam frequently.

Mike is a must have. Not only is he skilled, he's hysterically funny and integrates beautifully with other mercs in the game, including banter. My favorite merc mod for entertainment alone.

LoboNocturno: You can easily create your own head canon.

Mike was killed & defeated (so does Spike in JA3) in Jagged Alliance 2 already when he switched to work for Queen of Arulco.

Hey, thanks Shadow.
Well, Morianthi: I think you can. Yet, I'm not sure if all Mike's perks will appear.

Can I install this midgame? Thanks.

It's masterpiece! I wonder if he would recognize Spike and Elliot)

Mike is dead.

Hey Shuri thanks. Yeah I remember playing Mike in JA. I had great moments with him. Well, I think I already have an idea how to make a unique face for him. Let's see how it goes. Anyway, I'm going to improve the sound quality of Mike's voice. The audio seems a bit louder compared to other mercs.

mike was my hero from ja1, was so sad after he died in ja2 (in early version u could get him via cheats but without face only black field): So happy for ur work here.

so take ur time. you r doing so great work with one of my fav characters :D

Hey Shuri, I've been thinking about it. Need to check if that's something I can add. I was also thinking about giving him 1 AP + notch on his belt for each kill. Let's see what it will come to. Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate it.

At the moment, I'm checking how I may design his face. And let's say, it ain't easy. But Mike deserves a unique face.

Awesome, another voiced custom merc!

maybe u can give the belt different bonus like:

each 10 stacks: +5 aiming (temporary for 1 battle)
each 25 stacks: +1 aiming level (temporary for 1 battle)'
each 50 stacks: +5 movement points (temporary for 1 battle)

after used a bonus counts beginns from start again

Hi people, I'm glad to see you all enjoying the mod. About "Mike's" belt, it's his personal item, like Ivan has his hat. At the moment, it's only a trophy system like Flay. It gives more depth to Mike's character. I may give some extra attributes to his belt later.

Like once he gets to a certain number of notches Mike gets X effect. Need to figure if that's possible.

In the meanwhile, I'm learning how to design a unique body and face for Mike. Not sure, if it will work out. But it's definitely something I'd love to include.

Shuri, thanks for mentioning that. I didn't know about Fox.

Yeah its also one of his lines in JA1 the last name stuff. He said it occassionally when you tried to hire him ;).

he never had a last anme, he just was "mike" - i read an a fanpage abut mike and there it was mentioned that he once dated fox, maybe u can add a liking between them.

You Can call me Mike, I dont have a last name (probably because he killed it ;) ) ... , nice mod

can i ask what mikes belt do (except count of killed rookies)

a wall and a car in the way. who cares, not mike at all. hit them all :D

Hey Shuri, clad to see you're having fun with him. Mike likes mooney!

but this greedy guy want more and more money for only a few state pointsincreasing. its a long time i was playing him in ja1 and totally forgot how expensive he can became (1,5 mil for 2 weeks meanwhile). but thats typical mike we love him for ;D

Make what you want, who cares if people whine about things not being exactly as they want it. You do you.

he is my heavy weapon guy for the mashine gun :D. i think his range is higher than meltdown. he even hits ppl far away :D

Thanks people. Made some readjustments. Hope you enjoy, have fun!

i dont think you need t be exactly accurate with ja2 version. for example raven was sharpshooter and night op. she is now a complete other class.

Hey LotR, thanks. I appreciate it. Definitely going to add that icon on my next update.

If you'd like i fiddled around with improving the perk icon you've done. Don't mind steam being steam and converting a 68x68 png into jpg -_-

Thanks people. Yes, I'm adjusting his price. Also, fixing a few issues with some voices for some reason aren't working and adding new ones. I've been thinking about what perks to include and combat style.

I found some old files online from JA2; Mike was an auto weapon and heavy weapon specialist. I'm considering removing his stealth to scoundrel. That way you can switch between a heavy weapon to another one in a turn without spending AP.

But of course, suggestions are always welcome. Let's make Mike great again!

Looks great! I imagined him a little bit older though. And I don't mind his relatively cheap price since his "reputation [is] in ruins." That would also give me an incentive to use him rather than the ones that I have come to love in JA2.

and by the way he is too cheap. magic (lv 5) costs only 5k less (2 weeks). his salary should be around 130-150k instead of 55k for that time periode.

instead of heavy weapons would give him another treat like grenades or throwing. thats good combination for autoweapons.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it. Made him more lore friendly!

Hey @Lion of Judah,

Congrats on you first mod! Nice work with this one, looks like Mike will be a great addition to the roster.

-TROCH22

I've been waiting for someone to do this mod. Going to try straight away 👍

Okay thanks gooudini. I took what you said into consideration. I'll soon update Mike with new stuff. I also noticed they change his stats on JA2. You could recruit him with 1.13.

Btw, Man, I respect your wish to make my best love aim merc and work that you have done. I only wanna you change some lore issues

Lol, it's not a nick name. It's a part of description. Such high-level pro don't need a nick

Well, he doesn't have a last name. He's only called Mike, and his nickname is "Mystery Mercenary," which you can check at: https://jaggedalliance.fandom.com/wiki/Mike

Do you have better sources of info: gooudini? If so, please share.

Also Mike must been 45-55 years old but merc on your pic so young (around 30-35)

He don't have a last name and such stupid nick name. Learn some lore, mate, so it's simple: "Mike".

cool cool
