mrkgnao: They added a link to it on September 5, 2018. The file was called jagged_alliance_2_manual_de.zip, but the link was broken, so it was impossible to download.

They fixed and renamed it on October 5, 2018. The new file was called jagged_alliance_2_ger.zip (with a modification date/time of Wed, 05 Sep 2018 14:00:03 GMT). It hasn't changed since (until yesterday).

did anyone download the jagged alliance german manual? i am very intrigued by what could have spurred a DMCA against it? especially if it was only in one version of the manual and not all of them.

weird.

Edward_Carnby: Info from blues in another thread.

"Due to a DMCA takedown request, we had to immediately remove the German manual from Jagged Alliance 2 goodies, which unfortunately affects all owners of the game. We’re deeply sorry but in this case, we were unable to inform you about it in advance as we try to do in such situations."
Thanks for this and submitting that ticket....it seems to have at least gotten 1 blue to reply in that thread and for us to get an answer. :)

Some companies are VERY picky about protecting their IP, even above and beyond what they must do by law. The manual was submitted to GOG by another user and hosted by GOG without the IP holder's permissions so they seem to have demanded it be removed.

AI War 2
Version 1.320 Intelligence Intensifies (January 30th, 2020)

Full changelog at: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php
then add ?title=AI_War_2:_The_Grand_New_AI#Version_1.320_Intelligence_Intensifies
Linux & Mac standalone installers updated (1.309 ⇒ 1.320): 31 January 2020.

Cthulhu Saves Christmas
v2.00 (30 January 2020)

- Fixed a bug where the ability menu could become blank
- Fixed an enemy that was dealing single-target damage when it was supposed to be dealing all-target damage.
- Generally lower enemy HP (minimal to no change early on, around 30% less Max HP by the end of the game)
- A few enemies now have lower base power but larger power increases per turn. This should make battles with many all-target enemies more manageable as long as you don't take too long.
- XP rewards from defeating non-boss enemies has been noticeably increased.
- 50% more XP given when fighting additional battles after a dungeon is cleared to make it easier for people who want to grind.
- Fewer battles required to clear out a dungeon (No change in dungeons that required 10 battles, all other dungeons have their battle count dropped by 5).
- Random encounters trigger a little less frequently.
- New buff that causes a character to use ailment power instead of power for damaging abilities. This buff has been added to the Chicken Feed & the Necronomicon abilities (they retain their existing effects as well). This should open up new combo possibilities and also gives Baba more damage dealing options besides her poison & unite abilities.

Jupiter Hell

Patch 0.8.8 (03 February 2020)

Introducing Jupiter Hell update 0.8.8 a.k.a. Gunslinger! A most requested DRL feature is making a comeback - dual wielding of pistols! Apart from that, there's new stuff to find, balance changes and bugfixes, so let's jump right in!

Gunslinger

The new Marine and Scout trait allows you to finally relive your Hollywood fantasy and run in guns blazin. With this trait you can dual wield pistols, revolvers and SMGs or any combination thereof. Game-wise this is achieved by having the trait and two consecutive slots with applicable weapons - you pick the first and it wields both! Both guns are shot at the same time, and reloaded at the same time - with a slight penalty. Not to leave Tech in the dust, we moved to him the Headshot trait (which still is very strong!). To celebrate the new trait we're bringing back the fan-favorite DRL challenge - Angel of Marksmanship!.

Health orbs

Balancing healing items has been a pain for us, until we reminded ourselves of a feature that should have been there from the start - health orbs! These are powerups that you pickup automatically when you walk over them. But fear not that you need to avoid them not to waste health points - they overheal with no penalty, so there's no reason not to pick them up on sight! Contrary to their original implementation health over 100% doesn't decay, but is reset back to max at level exit. Thanks to that we've been able to balance health drops better and it will be easier to balance health in the future as well!

Rare mods

There's new loot to be found, rare mods. Contrary to regular mods, these do not increase statistics, but bestow known ADV traits on any weapon (ADV and Exotics not excluded!) you wish that has a mod slot left. There are five of those available now, Frenzy, Loader, Vampiric, EMP and Cold - we tried to pick those trats that will make finding one of them always useful. More may come in the future. With a bit of luck you can now build some really overpowered shit :P

Callisto changes

The three most boring level generator layouts in Callisto have been improved, and all Callisto generators were fixed to drop the requested amount of loot boxes and support vaults if present. In general especially on easier levels there should be more items found in the early game.

Balance pass

Apart from balancing pistol traits due to dual wield being available, we gave a general range buff to ALL shotguns. They should feel a bit better now, without giving too much buff to those pesky sergeants. We also made a significant balance pass on late game enemy presence and a bit on stats - in general the amount of armored ravagers has been reduced, and CRI bots nerfed a little (they now come in two equally common variants, the other has a plasma rifle-like weapon). We're keeping a close eye on later game balance and will probably do more changes there next update!

Trait view

Long requested UI/UX enhancement - there's a new panel (shortcut "v" on keyboard or switch panels from inventory) with the list of all available traits - colorized and browsable with info what is already picked. Additionally you can also look up class information if you didn't pay attention on the class choice screen :)

Angel of Mercy

And finally for the masochistic among you is a Challenge of the ridiculous sort (hey, people DID beat Angel of New York Reload!), which is a variation on the Angel of Pacifism theme - each kill drains your maximum health! You get some extra experience each level to offset it a bit though - good luck, you're gonna need it!

Fixes

And finally the regular batch of fixes is in, those that weren't serious enough to be hotfixed - list in the changelog.

Originally we planned to do Melee next, but quite possibly we'll do a content release before that, with more generator improvements, special level improvements, overhauls and additions, a new enemy and more new stuff in general - stay tuned!
