So I have some questions while I wait to download
So, as little backstory as possible, I was in the 5th grade when I got Jagged Alliance 2, and I still do at least one or two 1.13 playthroughs every year since (most recently played over last fall and winter) So when I saw this I got super excited! There's a couple things I'm not ecstatic over, but nothing thats going to keep me from buying so far, but I've got a library of failed JA games on my account and a pile of crappy knockoffs, so I have a couple of questions since everything I find video wise online seems to be people playing in the same area, doing the same things.

1. What engine is this? It looks like Unity, and that's kind of a red flag for me, but not a deal breaker.
2. Has anyone said anything about Workshop support? This also ties into question one, because, at least as far as my personal library goes, most companies that use Unity cant seem to ever get it to work, and It's usually modders to the rescue for a large number of reasons. (i.e. the armor over clothes that they reasoned not to do)
3. Is there a Doom Clock? This is my favorite game genre, but the new hip thing seems to be everything has a Doom Clock on it, They keep saying 40 hours of game, but I can stretch a JA2 game into several months if I'm not, well, being forced to complete it in a certain amount of time.
4. Vehicles? There was a helicopter and car's that needed fuel and mechanics in the past complete with missions to clear out SAM sites and rescue hillbillies, and this map looks bigger so I'm hoping yes?
5. How many Squads? It looks like in the top left corner of the screen of the video I was watching where is said something like "Squad 1" and had an add sign next to it, So it LOOKS like we finally get vanilla multiple squads, does anyone know how many?

Off the top of my head these are my top questions. Im really hoping for the Workshop stuff. Sorry if this information is already available and easy to find, I just needed something to do because I thought I was going to get up and start playing lol.

2. https://community.jaggedalliance.com/index/dev-diaries/devdiary-13-co-op-mode-mod-support-r18/ I am really looking forward to that, i hope some modders will have the motivation to make complete new campaigns.

And while you are waiting you maybe find some of the other dev diaries very informative, too. ;)

3. There is no fixed time limit, but i think there is a similar system in it like in JA2, where your mines will be depleted at some point and you won´t have the income to continue that way, your mercs want heir money. You maybe would have a lonely IMP Character left at some point in the game.

4. There is a boat to travel between water sectors, i haven´t seen any other vehicle in the 3 hour gameplay streams, but maybe one of the many reviews yesterday mentioned something? No Idea.

5. Hm, pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere or has been seen.
I think somebody mentioned that you can have 18 A.I.M. mercs + hireable NPCs.
You can put them in multiple squads, i think you could even name them, it was seen in some video. But i don´t know if there is a maximum number of squads, maybe somebody else can add the details here.
