"1. I finished a fast solo-merc run on highest difficulty-settings + no sevegame, to try out JA3. I was interested, if its possible. \n\tI the beginnig, i just wanted to study the game, testing hardness, but after a time, i decided to have something like a speed run, without doing sidequests and concentrate only on the main goal. So i only had one mine, but that was enough. In the last days, when the Mine was running out, i had 300000 or so. My merc finally ended up on Level 7 or 8. \n\tIt is possible, but sometimes (only some sectors) it seemed impossible.\n \n\n\n\tIn my solo-run i changed between 3 Low-Levelmercs. The Island i did with Blood. Then i thought it would be good to have an better explosive-expert and Barry took over duty, on mainland.\n \n\n\n\tThen i wanted better weapons, so i needed a very good mechanics and i changed Barry with Livewire (actually i didnt liked her, but then she proofed to be very good &amp; became my substitute for the role of Reaper or Shadow.\n \n\n\n\tNo explicit spoilers, but a touch of them, follows, Caution.\n \n\n\n\t2. When i hired her, for my first time, i didnt knew about Livewires special capability. But i turned Out to be very helpful, when playing with just one merc under such circumstances &amp; you want to play as a unseed killer. But it didnt felt like cheating, because it is wasnt active that often, because there wasnt always possible to recon or i didnt took the time for that (its also a risk getting wounded).\n \n\n\n\tI really enjoyed to play with her and i used her mainly as an swift &amp; deadly sniper. \n\tEagles-Nest was the most challenging sector, because i couldnt save or retreat and AI always seems to know where my merc was. So ive got to restart over and over again, till i finally could make it somehow (didnt mod or cheat). Luckywise i reconed that sector before, so with Livewire i knew where enemies we're, otherwise i couldnt made it, i suppose.\n \n\n\n\t3. Playing with one Merc, conclusion;\n \n\n\n\tIts fun to play JA3 with one merc, but of course a bit but hectic sometimes (keeping the Gang alive on tac screen, is sometimes a bit hard naturally, f.e. and some sectors, like the last one are a bit to difficult sometimes (or Flag Hill, from the wrong Side, in the end ^^) Next time, i'll do it with more than just one merc, to follow the storyline better and enjoying all sidequests and stories, see more lovely designed places of Grand Chien and meet even more nice people. 🙂\n \n"
