To overthrow the dictator Deidranna, you will need a hard-core team of the best soldiers you can afford. There are 40 mercs you can hire throughout the game, along with several local inhabitants who can be recruited to your cause.
Survival on the battlefield depends on your tactics and the men and women who are carrying out those orders. No single soldier can pull off a movie-style one-man show, so you must build a team of mercs who can work together as a complete and cohesive unit to get the job done.
Knowing your mercs' abilities, stats, gear, and even personalities is a critical part to planning and executing an assault. Become familiar with all the core aspects that make up each soldier and then delve into their specific strengths, weaknesses, and unique traits to create an effective squad.
