Jagged Alliance 2 takes place four years after the Metavira incident. Now the action takes
place in a little country called Arulco. Rightful ruler of Arulco has been
pushed from the throne and the country is ruled by cruel Deidranna's army. And you are
again contacted to put things in the order, so it's your job to hire the right mercenaries
and direct 'em to win in a much improved turn-based combat. 
The game is again sector
based and has a main plot. Jagged Alliance 2 also has more of the loved role-playing elements -
you can for example chat with the locals, get side quests,
even get some of the civilians to join you in the battle field. The tree sap has been replaced with
real sources of wealth, so you have to conquer back Arulco's mines to get more cash. There's
also a completely new internet style interface in your laptop, that you can use to contact the
mercenaries, handle the equipment, buy and sell equipment, read email etc.
