Because time is money in this game, and time only passes during operations and travel, Wolf is an exceptional companion to hire. He reduces any operations time by 30% regardless of how good he is at the operation. Great for training militia, healing up after a particularly brutal fight, or repairing a bunch of beat up gear.

Also a tip... Get the A2 mine ASAP! It does not need loyalty from any city, so it has directly the full outcome... 6500 Dollar a day i think. That is always my priority number 1!

I just had a weird realization. In JA3 you're a mercenary company taking over towns and diamond mines in a small war-torn African country. Are we Wagner?

Just bought JA3 during the steam sale, and I am struggling. Thanks for the vid man, it’s making my mercenary life easier

Best way to make money. Install the fan made mod that stops the mines running out of diamonds and fixes the game. The mines have been going for years, decades even, but as soon as you take it over it starts depleting after a few weeks.

Your videos have been very useful for learning the game

fyi, it has been figured out that travel speed is related to the highest leadership in the squad. So the best financial decision in the game, possibly, is an I.M.P. Merc with 85 leadership :) I was pleasently surprised when i found out, since i went with 85 leadership without knowing about it. It seems to be the case that squads travel 3-4 times faster if the leadership skill is around 90, compared to around 20. That alone would save more money than a diamond mine can yield i would guess.

What is this about giving celery to my mercs!? So far they have only asked for protein bars? I did meet a chicken who found me some corn, but no celery?

What’s is your fav squad guys?

The diamond shipments always pass through certain choke points. If you capture one of these cities, train militia but you can´t loot with militia so you need at least one merc to stay there and pick the loot. This is where the free Merc are best used. Just place them on the choke points and retrain any lost militia once lost. I got so much money after just ambushing the deliveries. All you need is to check a few boxes from time to time and thats it.

[DCLVR]

Use the IMP custom merc as your leader. High leadership is rare, expensive and very useful.

[MrOvimik]

Excellent tips, I will be using this. Thanks for the good video :)

i only wish the hackables are not so tiny it's so hard find and click. also it's annoying how characters' HP bars block the interactable objects/loot

[rodebertrotklang]

I absolutly have to agree to your points, BUT one thing you should have add, the dirt cheap mercs, especially lifewire barry md und thor (the ones with great wisdom... are awsome to train. I also would add mouse for a quad because she is an awsome assasin when you take some days to level her mm. And even though the most are level 4-5 for me now... they wont even cost a grand a day. So the wisdom mercs can become not the best but the best ones in bang for the buck. (why dont i include buns, well... since she isnt has no place found in my first 2 squads... i had to delay her, but i will get her some point soon.

but a request for a vid: Why wont you share your insights of merc relationships. I think about fox/Wolf+Grizzly and maybe nails... they would get great morale buffs, and so on ;)

This is a good video that makes it clear outside of mods that there is no magic. Be smart about your spending. I made a strategic mistake, and I'm starting over, but I secured a very good income before that. The markets are a weakness of the game. Not only are they expensive, but they always seem to stay the same. Finding gear and repairing it is the best thing, even in a vanilla game.

I just finished playing on the standard settings and I never had money issues, in fact at the end I had over 2.5m.
I had DR Q and 3 cheap ones and for 70% of the game I only used those mercs and only got another team when I had so much money I just wanted to spend it and it was handy to have them on a point where diamond travelers pass.
DR Q is kinda bugged so you can do infinite melee attacks so well worth the money so I had him running in like Hulk and 3 snipers (4 snipers and a machine gun for end and Dr Q)
The game was great BUT if I had to pick something to moan about it would be the perks, the snipers do so much damage from far away it's really the only weapon you ever need and when you get lots of ammo a machine gun where you set it up will mow down everyone.

So it would be much better with there were powerful perks/skills to make you want to use handguns or assault rifles because poking people at end game for 160 you one shoot everyone and then machine gun to mow people down and Q slapping the poo out of people.

Why are your viewers so stingy with their likes? 5k watches and 200 likes for this quality content?! Rubbish. Love your work Ic0n. Appreciate it.

[Fercurix]

Some mines have the option to find deeper/richer deposits, increasing their output further. Don't foget to look for those.

[RansomMemoryAccess]

Since the diamond mines both become depleted and income is reliant on local loyalty, wouldn't it be better to first take the population centers before taking the mines? Should in theory mean more income for the duration of the mines.
