>the enemy has no limit to the effective range of their pistols
don't play with NCTH on
>85 marksmanship, 70 wisdom
it's more practical to have it the other way around

Hardest part is getting it to run in the first place, fuck me.

Your main merc isn't a huge deal, just get high leadership cause the cheaper mercs are bad at it. Make sure you have your team in position before moving someone forward. If you recruit Lynx for a day you can take his mini-14 which is the best early game gun

>>4340383
is this compatible with 1.13?

>>4340317
Wisdom should be higher since you can train everything pretty easily later on and it also stacks bonuses with your agility skill when getting interrupt against higher level characters. It is also the only stat in the game that you cannot train so it's better to start with this, and as another anon mentioned, a high leadership so you can talk to more people, recruit earlier, and start training right away.

But usually I just take the IMP character and make him a night ops martial arts character with high agility and marksman and send him on solo missions with Dr. Q as a medic (also martial arts and night ops) and just leave Ira and Bull at the previous town training milita. It's not until halfway into the game when you start going to Grumm, Alma, Balime, etc. do you actually need to start hiring other mercs like Shadow, Reaper, Scope, etc. Actually a really good and cheap character to use in the beginning of the game is Barry Unger, he can open almost any lock in the first 3 or 4 towns until you can afford to get someone better - personally I actually like him better than Magic.

The problem is almost certainly with the tactics you're trying to employ; the stats of your IMP mercenary aren't really that important. It's hard to give advice without actually seeing what you're doing wrong, though.

no

>>4340484
to be honest, due to the fact my mercs all have pistols (bottom of AIM mercs with high wisdom), and can't move far at all in a turn. I keep them bunched together for the most part.

>It is also the only stat in the game that you cannot train
you can't practice it directly, but doing certain activities will slowly raise it

>>4340537
>and can't move far at all in a turn
press R for run, they'll lose a tiny bit more energy but move much further
also don't sneak if you don't have to (i.e. when the enemy knows where you are)
as last resort, get mercs with Athletics and high Agility

>>4340331
how do you even turn off NCTH?

>>4341227
you select NCTH/OCTH when you start a new game

>>4341240
shit I gotta upgrade to a newer 1.13 then.

>>4341240
do you guys use 1.13 7435 or 4870? I can't get 7435 to extract properly

>>4341267
Those builds are years out of date. Download one of the single click installers from http://thepit.ja-galaxy-forum.com/index.php?t=msg&th=20380&goto=311288& if you're going to update.

>>4341354
holy hell, its like a completely different game. Thanks man, I can actually move and position my people now.

>>4340551
yeah when I was talking about training I mean directly through train

What does Leadership even do while talking to people? Can anyone give me examples?

>>4341661
