Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business (JA2: UB), alternatively known as Jagged Alliance 2.5 is a stand-alone sequel for Jagged Alliance 2. New features include an editor to create new maps. Like the predecessor, this was also developed by Sir Tech. Ian Currie acted as chief producer, while story and characters were created by Shaun Lyng. The game was translated into German by Innonics. Unfinished Business was critisized because of its short play-time and linear gameplay compared to Jagged Alliance 2. Sirtech had some financial problems when this game was in development.
Plot
After the end of Jagged Alliance 2, Enrico Chivaldori again approaches the commander to set things right across Arulco's borders. In the small mountain state of Tracona, a corporation called "Ricci Mining" has built a military base. Its missiles threaten peace with Arulco, where Ricci Mining once held lucrative options while Deidranna was still in power. It is the mercenaries' mission to destroy the missiles.

Importing mercenaries
Player can import saved games from Jagged Alliance 2 or start with fresh characters. If player chooses to import, all mercenaries from Jagged Alliance 2 will have all statistics improvements in Unfinished Business. However, they must be hired again. This does not include recruited mercenaries like Ira, as they returned to their civilian lives and they won't be in Unfinished Business at all.
The mercenaries' inventories are also reseted and the difficulty level will be increased because of the improved statistics. Unfinished Business begins with your custom created mercenary.
