Although the country was run as a kingdom, ruled by a King and Queen, free elections were held every ten years to assert their legitimacy. 〕 In 1988, election candidate Enrico Chivaldori took a wife, Deidranna Reitman of Romania, in order to boost his popularity and consequently was victorious.〔In-game text: A wedding would have a strong, positive influence on the election, thus guaranteeing Chivaldori victory 〕〔In-game text: Deidranna Reitman of Romanian descent was chosen. 〕 However, Deidranna proved to be far more than a simple pawn; showing an unquenchable thirst for power, she soon framed Chivaldori for the murder of his father.〔In-game text: Within a year of Enrico being elected King, his father, Andreas Chivaldori was found dead .. A significant amount of circumstantial evidence led to the arrest and imprisonment of Enrico Chivaldori for the murder of his father. 〕 Enrico managed to escape, faking his own death.〔In-game text: On the night before Enrico's trail armed escorts were fire-bombed while transferring Enrico .. Palace officials blamed Enrico's assassination on Miguel's rebel forces .. 〕〔Fatima: It () is signed by Enrico himself and contains details of the night we helped him flee Arulco. 〕 Removing all other obstacles from her way, she soon consolidated her power and converted Arulco into an authoritarian state.〔In-game text: Government / Dictatorship under the guise of a monarchy for the past ten years. / Ruler: Queen Deidranna Reitman / Most government services, including education, were terminated approximately eight years ago. 〕 When the game begins, Chivaldori has hired the player to remove Deidranna by whatever means necessary. He puts the player and his team of mercenaries in contact with a rebel movement in the northern town of Omerta.〔Enrico: Remember to seek out Miguel and deliver my letter to him. 〕〔Fatima: Enrico has enlisted mercenaries to aid us in the struggle. 〕 Omerta suffered a massive raid shortly before the events of the game, leaving the town damaged and nearly deserted.〔Deidranna: We crushed those rebels in Omerta! 〕〔Fatima: Deidranna has brutally bombed and attacked us for over two straight months. 〕〔Miguel: Deidranna wished to remove Omerta from the map of this country. 〕 The rebel leader Miguel Cordona, former election candidate and opponent of Enrico,〔In-game text: Enrico Chivaldori faced an extremely popular opponent by the name of Miguel Cordona. 〕 guides the player to the city of Drassen.〔Carlos: We need safe passage to Drassen or more people will die. 〕〔Miguel: Making a safe route to Drassen to get supplies be a priority. 〕 The game also features a sci-fi mode that introduces enemies not present in realistic mode – the "Crepitus", a species of giant insect living underground, infesting mines and occasionally emerging to the surface.〔Jagged Alliance 2〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jagged Alliance 2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
