I'm starting to get very hyped for this DLC. I don't care for the new setting part of it or the new enemies so much, but all the other changes are pretty damn cool.
Indeed. It surprises me they are doing such important (and desirable) changes and treat them almost like a side thing, compared to their DLC content.

I remember fielding a full Naffatun + 1 general army in Medieval Total War. High Valour = High Accuracy with grenades = Mass Exterminatus = Fun times. Will try to replicate this tactic in BB. Gotta name my company "The Holy Hand Grenadiers".

P.s. Maybe they could add byzantine syphonatores as well? Now that would be swell <3

Well, if early guns and naphta are there, siphons were very much a thing before guns at least. Also dont tell me you dont want to scorch them Schrats with Greek Fire.

part of the fanbase is already buttmad from the introduction of firearms, imagine the rage if they add a portable flamethrower.
which I think is weird. The game has a very old school Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay vibe to it, which had matchlock guns and it was totally cool and totally X-TREME and I loved it.

I don't know why, but everytime I read the thread's name I see Battle Brothels

That actually isn't half bad idea for a management game.
Gather hoes, secure supplies, beat down unruly customers, compete with other Battle Brothels.
Choose where to move based on intel you extracted from drunk dead customers.
There are profits to be made.

When is this coming to Switch? I want to introduce my 8 year old son to turn based combat on the machine he uses to play Mario while decapitating people. Then we are going to start playing gold box games. Then move to Fallout in a couple of years. If I can get him to play Wizardry VII and Ultima IV, I will successful COVID spread the incline.

So that's what they are asking for with the constant bitching about battle sisters...

I just want an option in the settings to speed up combat animations, then I can consider playing this shit again
I'm not sure when they added it, but there is such an option now. Or two even: one for your troops and one for the enemy.

Now all I want is a 5x or 10x toggle for the overland map.

DEV BLOG #137: THE HYENA

While Direwolves, Webknechts und Schrats dwell deep in dark forests of the north, the upcoming southern deserts have entirely different beastly inhabitants. We’ve already learned about the Ifrit, intended mostly as an opponent for well-established companies. This week is about a new beastly opponent for you to face in the early and mid game: The Hyena. Let’s take a look!

THE HYENA
Prowling the southern deserts and steppe is the Hyena, a carnivorous mammal that resembles a poorly groomed cross between feline and canine. Prey can be few and far between in the endless sea of sand, and so the Hyena is both scavenger and nocturnal hunter. Many a traveler lost in the desert ended up a feast for a pack of Hyenas – but whether they tore him apart as he was still alive, or he died of thirst long before the pack came upon him, is another matter.

In the barren wastes of the south, no scrap of flesh can go to waste, and the Hyena has a jaw strong enough to crush bone so that it can get to every last shred. As it turns out, a jaw that can crush bone can crush armor quite well, too, making the Hyena a threat also to men in armor that would protect them against lesser wildlife. Although a Hyena is smaller than a northern Direwolf, and not always able to kill an unarmored man in a single turn, the way it rips flesh from its victims can leave terrible bleeding wounds and inflict the ‘Bleeding’ status effect. A battle against starved Hyenas is not lost as quickly as against a pack of Direwolves, but it may well be over before you even realize it when your men live on borrowed time as they slowly bleed out while the hyenas circle you in anticipation of a feast.

Hyenas roam and attack in packs that swarm and often surround their prey, attacking from multiple angles. They’re faster in combat than most other opponents, faster even than a Direwolf. A single Hyena can attack three times a turn, often overwhelming their victims and leaving them fatigued as they try to dodge every attack. However, their morale isn’t particularly good, and like most beasts they’re especially afraid of firearms spewing smoke and fire with a loud bang, unreliable as they otherwise may be. Naturally, Hyenas drop unique loot which can either be sold or used to craft new items, including a new armor attachment, if you own the ‘Beasts & Exploration’ DLC.

Does it mean that Hyena's attacks drain stamina? Or is it just a flavor text?

I see a new avatar in the making.

Being attacked already drains fatigue, so just the extra attack (same as wolves) is already more fatigue draining than a normal 2-attack enemy like a bandit with a short sword or what have you. Though perhaps their attack drains an extra amount?
