Combat Evolved is a mod overhaul for the Jagged Alliance - Back in Action game that expands/improves the vanilla game in many ways, from adding items, fixing bugs, increasing difficulty, balancing gameplay features to the point of restoring some of the soul the Jagged Alliance mercs used to have.
The variety of weapons and items is greatly expanded with weapons starting from the WWII Pecheneg to the exotic AAC Honey Badger, the ballistic protection is more varied and now has an alternative that can be worn underneath the clothes, the AI will now engage in better tactics, different behaviours based on the enemy type, the gameplay progression will feel more balanced and challenging, personality has been breathed in all the characters, all the gameplay will feel different in a better way.
To date, except the translations, this continues to be a one-man project so the development might be slow at points, depending on my time, but I'll always try to deliver compatibility patches with the latest game version within 24 hours from release. Other than that, if you feel like contributing in some way, drop me a line.

If you feel like supporting this mod (which is in no way mandatory but is really appreciated due to the fact that JA: BiA modding tends to eat up my time in which I could be otherwise productive ) you can
Note: If you have a vanilla savegame, a new game is highly advisable since there are too many changes that won't take effect and unwanted behaviour might occur. If you have a 1.05/1.05b CE mod savegame, it should be compatible, except for the fact that things like stats for the already hired mercs and content for the already looted containers won't come in effect.
- New items (weapons, attachments, armor, drugs); - better progression; - added an option for easy difficulty; - added an option for vanilla icons; ...
New mercs, new weapons, tweaked overall weapon stats, changed loots for a smoother progression.

So, I loved Jagged Alliance BIA gameplay, right up my tactical alley. But one problem I have is the dificulty (normal one). If you dont remain agressive and try to consolidate, the enemy will literally steamroll you, since they evolve with time, sooner or later you arent gonna be able to capture a town with 50 lev 4-5 bad guys unless you are a serious PRO (meduna has a max of 70 baddies... good luck!). Similar problem with enemy squads.
I wanted to know how does your mod's easy dificulty exactly limits the enemy capactity (Drassen, if left untouched, will reach 42 4-5 level baddies), what does it happen with "Easy" dificulty with your mod?
I was looking through the modded files. it becomes obvious really fast that this mod team really invested a lot of time and effort. does anybody know why the mod was only developed for a month and then suddenly stopped?
Some weapons display an ammo type incorrectly!

Hi, and thanks you for your work ! o/
Could you please, tell me how can I increase the frequency of Deidranna's attacks?
Thanks a lot o/
it was a very good game... maybe the next version should have more additional slot for weapon attachments like silencer and scope used simultaneously...
vest attachment like breast plates, ammo, grenade and maybe back pack will also be included.... and also different weapon barrels in rifle and sniper can be added........... its a very good game,......!!!!!!!!
