The Elliot's Army are an armed forces appearing in Jagged Alliance: Rage!. This formation is basically a mixture of natives of the St. Anthony island, foreign Black Mercenaries, and twisted experiments. Elliot's Army are his attempt to take revenge on the world and A.I.M.
Location[]
Elliot's forces are a constant presence on the island, occupying almost every sector the player enters as well as patrols (Indicated by red soldiers) on the map and convoys.
Their main "base" is a castle Elliot is using as his own fortress.
Organization[]
Just like his former Queen Deidranna, Elliot has set himself up as the leader of the army, using a mix of fear and drug money to keep both the native and Black Shirt forces loyal to him.
Composition[]
- Green soldiers/officers are composed of natives of the Island and primarily wear green, either as willing collaborators or drugged with Bliss and tortured into servitude, while some are willing to surrender to the A.I.M. especially during Phase 1 if they are losing a battle, the rest are willing to fight to the death, they are notably unorganized and fight worse if their commanding officers are taken out first.
- Officers (both Green and Black) can also Rally their troops, granting them an extra action with more accuracy and can be distinguished by wearing a Beret instead of a Helmet and/or using handguns even in the late-game.
- Snipers (both Green and Black) have Raven's ability to shoot at mercenaries that other soldiers can see from a great distance, using prone and buildings to get completely out of their sight while dealing with other soldiers is advised as they do heavy damage (and can instantly take anyone out with a headshot critical) and fire twice a turn.
- Black Shirts are significantly better armed foreign mercenaries who care little about the lives of the native forces, they are perfectly willing to used as them as meat shields or even kill them and in at least one instance at the Harbor, a duo of Black Shirts attempted to betray Elliot and abandon the Island with several bags worth of Bliss to sell due to having no loyalty to their employer.
- Brown labcoat Scientists are paid in order to create the Super soldiers Elliot wants, they are rarely encountered and at least one Scientist disagrees with Elliot's goals to disobey and him and set the A.I.M. mercenaries free at the start of the game.
- Red Bliss "Zombies" are unfortunate natives tested on with Bliss, their skin has turned red and they are completely insane, charging at any non-zombies nearby in order to pummel them with their fists, while technically not employed by Elliot and infact will attack both A.I.M. and Elliot's forces indiscriminately, they are created by his experiments and can often be found caged up inside bases. They notably have very high action points and can charge a surprisingly long distance and still pummel someone for a bit of damage.
- Black wearing Super soldiers (spelled Supersoldiers in-game) are tall, able to stand above even Ivan and exclusively attack by their fists, these are presumably what "successful" Bliss zombies are, they have the highest health out of any character in the game, can resist getting staggered by leg shots and can once a turn enter a "Berserk" state upon taking damage, granting them a small amount of extra AP they will quickly use even on the player's turn, thankfully they lack intelligence and can be easily taken down if the player can start shooting them from a distance.
