Second on that, the new desert fights get Mexican Hat Dance please. Going to build a big wall over your game. And you’re going to pay for it, that’s how it goes. Mr. Trump, bring down this wall, ich bin ein Steppe people. At least this isn’t the independent developers of Space Marines in Denmark. Let me tell you its only 40 miles but, but, no hate speech.
Wow where exactly is a Steppe from anyway? Are we like, Turkey battle brothers? I’m just curious. Oops that is Mount and Blade infringement, get it? Because they are independent developers out of Turkey? Turks and Arabs are different see, play our game. Its horrible see, because in Medieval Total War 2, as Denmark, you can always take Hamburg easy, its a nice buffer against the Holy Roman Empire, top recommends.

Now its technically interesting but, I hadn’t had a problem with it, is it my low difficulty level? Always stocked on repair tools? If something is 500 durability at 30% I don’t want a warning. ? We don’t even have an adequate starving warning yet! I just repeated what some other guys have said out here, all the sudden, hey oops im out of food, people are leaving.

You sound a little bit like an expert for us on dogs? would you say that? It is interesting that we have both wolves and war dogs, do you know how dogs or wolves might play different? Or say, wargs? It is fantasy after all. These dogs have a simple armor sometimes, you know they’re not that expensive. I don’t know that much about dogs, can you pick them up all trained for 200 gold like that? I haven’t tested a dog versus dire wolf battle, anybody? Do you think Battle Brothers would need to be perked Dog Handlers, police and such get K9 training. I’ve heard wolves have more stalking behavior, dogs more barking behavior, maybe dogs should bark in a direction of enemies.

That’s an interesting story , you’d almost have to reproduce it to believe it. 33 orcs was medium difficulty, 9 bandits was medium difficulty.
You’re really getting too focused , forest from the trees, the orcs are just plain difficult, ya. I’m curious what you do to have the shields break all the time. Oh ya since its brand new, I didn’t think about it, but technically most the time you’ll end up in combat anyway with the caravans, you should head over to my version feedback thread.

If the battle was Hard it actually makes it more likely that you destroyed all the enemy armor in the process. I’ve heard one strategy was Nets and Daggers, and preserve the armor or other loot possibly. Of course as you’ve said yourself, very little is random about the loot of goblins being goblin loot. In fact, you can pick up the loot yourself during the battle, stand over something you killed, pick up the goblin pike or whatever. Highly correlated.

Lets not get distracted, didn’t find the quest scroll for 30 minutes. Then, maybe how to level. Don’t make them level all at once, unless we can still see the party stats as well as the character stats to know how he fits in. They could make it a flashing yellow arrow instead of a yellow arrow. Hey stupid you forgetting something.

I did the new steppe orc scenario, and had no idea that orc beserker can take out 3 healthy guys in one chain swing. Made me think of Galloglaichs or Gallowglasses? What if that swing move for 2 handers, its similar, they’d build up rotational speed with a gigantic sword around themselves. Seem like I’d give 2 handers more reason for a charge ahead.
OH OK great information Meeky. Orcs also have this charge-across-the-whole steppe move, that seems like a 2-hander thing too some version of it. Sorry lets keep this 6.0.16.
So, I just had a town with an “easy” scroll for 1140 gold, a “normal” scroll for maybe 1200, “hard” scroll was a full 1960, and that last one was JUST for escorting a caravan? The others needed clearing out bases? I’m not feeling the reward system exactly. On top of that, maybe caravan bandits should flee a lot quicker. I don’t know that much about caravan bandits. Hey I just wants me gold! Maybe a bunch of robinhood bowmen.
You know I just hate to throw this on Breakdown Epiphanies and their flawless musical arrangements but , I keep hearing it from the first time, I’m like, a trumpet is rather well known as not a medieval instrument. Some sort of flute could have done that melody instead of the trumpet. Have a “Good,Bad, and Ugly duel”, sign me up. “The musician was integral to accessing pitch on the Medieval trumpets. With the sound being produced by the lips against the aperture of the horn, only notes within the harmonic series of that particular horn was available. As far as history had been documented, it is noted that keys and finger holes were not used until at least the 15th century. This lack of pitch availability demanded much embouchure. If a musician needed to get a series of sequential whole-tone pitches, a number of different horns, and sometimes musicians, had been used.” That whole octave jumping and half step jumping melody is like, what am I hearing exactly. Anybody noticed Caravan Guards got their own artistic Icon Base, looks like birchwood, pretty cool and distinguishable if you look for it.

Technically that’s not a suggestion, watch out they might delete your post, nice to meet you. You know what I just noticed, hey look at all that working Drop-Stuff-On-The-Ground mechanics they got! Have you ever used that?! Just ctrl right click, drop your pike on the ground like a real pikeman, get it later. There’s a Ground Pickup window like real pros, you’d never see or use it, they got all the 5 slots and stuff. I know a lot of games would Emphasize and Use this, pick up your down battle brother take him with you, lay down equipment when you need it, its still showing up with the loot I think at the end of the battle. Maybe stake traps!

This is like the dictionary for Condescension with your face on it, explain basic things no one is misunderstanding. I read a Strategy Guide the only one they got on steam, and probably THREE other testimonials, ya JUST get the bags & belts on EVERY guy , just have them able to use EVERY weapon like a longbow alone wasn’t a life of training. Hey we can call a magic pixie stick a dagger but it really shoots fairie dust now we’re starting to enter High fantasy I guess. Well its an actual background the Monks as plentiful as fishermen and I’m not trying to over emphasize some minor contradiction between that and you saying there was No hint of Any Deities Whatsoever. On your Rock Paper Scissor paragraph, its not crystal clear you’re describing Rock Paper Scissor, that’s where all weapons are designed, or some other element is designed, to be best to defeat a counterpart while being best defeated by a 3rd counterpart, its pretty weak right now, here comes a goblin/bandit/orc with a sword/bow/net guess ill do what I always do which is, crossbow spam , instant switch sword/shield and pike it to death like the first steam guide said to do. I don’t want to throw Total War into everything, I don’t even know if its true, I Like that pikes would have Bonus damage to mounted units, I Like that some units are no good for melee, I Like the 2-handers get a charge, I Like the shield wall they got right now. I Guess I disagree, it does seem like I Wouldn’t want to have gone into some of these directions where, I don’t get to fire a crossbow and hit something with a pike on the same turn.

I like chess? You heard it here first folks, my comments are stupid! I think ya Meeky might be overstating his advanced math skills. I think flipping a quarter 10 times still makes the next chance 50/50 not a bell curve. Here’s something concrete though, you’ll never get a 95% hit rating on Battle Brothers, maybe that’s just because there’s no guns. Now its been a while since I did probability but I think they just say it like 50% of 10 that’s 5, 50% of 5 and 50% of another 5 , that’s 5. By the way, what does that mean Sky likes? Lucky 7 let it ride! Let it ride! Momma needs a new pair of boots! Face crit. Wait no Meeky’s right about what he said, same thing.
What about a constructive comparison of the actual acts of, nimble parrying and a shield wall, how in the world is it 20 fatigue to hold your shield, do they know what they’re talking about? The ancient Roman testudo could only be held for 5 battle turns? And the Hamburgian Germanic wildmen, never ever grew tired of prancing around dodging crap, sounds like propaganda to me. Ya pretty sure that they stand there holding Gigantic shield for hours, waited for Germans to get tired by the 3rd wave, then have huge slaughters, like the actual battle tactics, goodbye super race. That reminds me , no Fatigued defense penalty that I know of? That’s when people get killed, tired and reckless, not that they only swing half as much, or what.

Sire, all of Christendom will be aaawwwed by the post you have won here this day! This Glorious victory!

[Miaphysites]

Good summary RusBear, am I the only one already Hoping to run into the bandits, the raiders? He’s saying make the monsters stronger? I die from undead, goblins Used to be a close call, Orcs for sure, I don’t even go near that. And don’t get any good human armors, I mean what is all that junk, I got the Hate the Monsters syndrome just fine, nice mechanic.

[Miaphysites]

Oh for sure, this touches on a lot of what I’ve already seen. There’s existing options ya like the war dogs, described to chase down enemies, which doesn’t keep me from suggesting the turn-me-over-to-AI option, less clicking autobattles, or reading what you’re writing more closely, it reminds me of the very Specific mechanic in other games to of course allow you to Auto Skip the end of the battle if all enemy units are Fleeing, sort of a group route mindset that doesn’t let up, that allows a Quick Resolve button.

[Miaphysites]

Ya lets beat up on sky! Ya! Sky face crit. Now that I think about it, and who the world thinks about it like you, ya, seems like their game is really heavy on RNG next to comparable titles? You’d sort of know when a kill happens on Jagged Alliance, 2 turns ahead of time, ya round this corner, head shot. im guessing, maybe Battle Brothers gives it to the dice too much? Now, you aren’t talking about more clicking right? no thanks. XCOM even more so, so, I got this rocket launcher see, theres a hut over there with aliens running around in it, see. This Possibly can come to battle brothers, if tactics are emphasized, im not sure, I can’t visualize it, crossbows blocked Entirely by shield wall, Totally cutting through 2-handers, bows shooting over obstacles, unprepared bowmen gets slaughtered by a melee ambush.
