American Dream Team

[Magicsimmer]

I've been replaying the game now with cheat mods and trying new merc combinations on the battle field! Cheating just to get more money so I can afford my favourite mercs all at once!

I'm totally enjoying Fox, Wolf and Grizzly in the same squad as Raven and Raider! Their bantering and conversations during combat, exploring and with other NPC's are hilarious. Also in combat, they all have +3AP because they enjoy each others company!

I hired a cured and sober Larry in the mix and it's a good time!

You might want to add Ice as well - he and Grizzly team up as well =)

why cheat? just make youself a challenge, cop couple isnt that expensive

"All bases covered" American team is:
Raider
Raven
Fox
Nails
Wolf
Grizzly

This gives you all 3 specialties covered, high leadership, and all 3 social perks. Everyone likes at least one other person.

The only thing that sucks is wisdom, but that will level quick - use manuals on the highest merc so they get to over 90.

Nails will probably need some explosives training, but training with Wolf means everything goes faster - Wolf becomes a better mechanic faster as well. Fox will need DrQ to train her medicine up to 80 at some point for a certain quest chain.

Another workable team, but more expensive to get later, but with the same theme and bases covered is:
Raider
Raven
Meltdown
Larry
Magic
Blood

You can trade out Ice for Meltdown if you don't care about Psychos.

This was so helpful and cool to read and imagine in my mind. I was going to add Nails in my initial game to cover the explosives and psycho traits. But I figured Wolf will have to do with "44" explosives until my plan to recruit Larry early in the game!

I played Meltdown and Nails too many times, so I wanted something new. For wisdom, they eventually reached 80+ as the game progressed finding herbs and such, so that was eventually satisfied. Might hire Ice soon, but he's still not available 😃

Nails and Raven have probably the best laugh out loud conversation so far in my game.

We need the All-American drama team. Modders?
