Best Strategy RPG of all time

[Paladin Wiegraf]

To anyone who has never played it, I suggest picking up a copy of Jagged Alliance 2. The game is unbelievable. Its about the small country of Arulco, and its being ruled by an evil dictator, Deidranna. Enrico Chivaldori, the now exiled king of Arulco, has hired you (the mercenary) to take it back for the people. The game has a great many features, like hiring your own team of mercenaries. Each one has their own personality (no boring generic units here) with over 9000+ lines of spoken dialogue. It also features an amusing way to buy items and mercs. You actually browse an ingame internet, with about 7 or so different websites that you can go to. Action is intense, and even on novice can make you rip your hair out. But it requires using your wit to survive, and it is incredibly addictive. I suggest it to anyone who likes these kinds of games.

What's the actual gameplay like? Turn based?

And I suspect it can't be nearly as infuriating as XCOM

It can be really tough to find. There are like 15 different versions floating around on the internet, some legal and some not so legal. Also, the game has this weird bug with the sound and music. The speech.slf and music.slf are compressed so that they may be uploaded onto the internet. But they dont decompress when you download them. Which means when you play it, you get no dialogue or music. I dont know how I got mine to work. I might be able to upload it myself for people, as I have all the necessary files and it works great.
