Jagged Alliance 3

Start with the campaign friction you actually want, then enable only the matching optional rule: Body Count for larger enemy squads, Hard Lessons for slower merc leveling, Ammo Scarcity for tighter ammunition, or A.I.M. Legendary Deals for reduced starting salaries. The developer says these rules can be combined; that does not mean every combination is balanced or beginner-friendly. Record your chosen rules before hiring and compare the in-game rules screen with the current patch.
