Thank you guys for this great wallpaper!!
And I have a doubt after staring at these gorgeous battle brothers, I wonder if the greatsword guy could survive this adventure, he has a nice helmet, but the body armor seems to be like the one with only 150 points of armor, quite fragile I think. Wish him luck.
I just wish we were finally getting unique battle maps with this dlc/update. I’m scared this might not be the case. Still looks awesome though, nonetheless (hopefully next time)
What do you mean by ‘unique’?
The battle maps are procedurally generated as it is, which means that they are all effectively unique. Which is really cool, actually.
In any case, if we all buy the DLC then the devs will be more likely to listen to future feature requests, as it provides for the devs a viable model for continue support for Battle Brothers.
maps that reflect unique locations i.e. fighting in an actually graveyard or tomb, or on the outskirts of a city surrounded by farms and fields. Inside castles, and orc/goblin cities/hideouts
Sure it does. Just like our feedback and support did last time…
No… My mistake, this happened last time: http://battlebrothersgame.com/conclusion-update-1-1-released/
I’m excited for the update, but not Overhyped. I have utmost faith in the technical competency of the studio, but not in their goodwill. They’re here to make money, not do the fanbase for a single game any favors.
Can I preorder this DLC?
WOW !
thank you so much !
the hype is real :DD
It will be mine November 29th !
Most anticipated DLC of 2018!
Hooray! Thanks Overhype!
All the stuff in this DLC looks awesome and the changes for retreat mechanics etc. sound exactly spot-on.This is exactly the sort of development and support I was hoping you would do with Battle Brothers and it’s a very reasonable price for the DLC.
Three cheers for Overhype!
Congratulations on the launch of DLC. Do you have another DLC development and release plan after this DLC? I want to continue to develop this good game.
In the wallpaper I noticed the lead brother is carrying a torch or lantern. I hope this is a hint that there will be subterrainean exploration as suggested here:

Or it could be an off hand equipment that keeps the brothers 1-2 hexes away from the holder staying awake.
This all looks amazing! Couple questions though, will there be more davkul related things? And can we make a full group of cultist and role play as a cult of davkul?
