That's how you play peasants in early game. We don't have good fighters, we can't replace losses with good recruits, we don't have money for good equipment, we can't level fast, because exp is shared between too many characters.

And from what i'm understand legends mod have easier scaling in early game but scales harder later.

I like how I am so useless that I don't even appear on the end of battle summary and apparently just watch from the sidelines. Pretty reflective of the kkk lp really.

Sukhavati's event revealed interesting things about "her"self.

You are doing ok, but nothing special, so i just scrolled to people who leveled up. When(if) we will have more people i will have to post 2 screens with results.

still playing it safe like some kind of terminal chump I see
And by the way what exactly are you expecting from me? To beeline to wildlands and find some ork warboss so he could assisst in our mass sucide? I'm grabbing every combat contract i see, except one(2 skull beast hunting contract in insignificant village on day 3 iirc - it would be just the end of our level 1 peasant company without any chances), we are doing 1-2 fights every day, we don't have time to repair or heal, so i field everyone for every battle, even Spigot.
Game is just not throwing at us everything it could. Yet.

Funny shit, my previous message was doubled, one before Anjord post and the second one after and i deleted the second one, it deleted them both ...

:shredder:

Anyway, if you plan on going through the first crisis and further, you probably want to keep a "small" group, otherwise, you'll just get more and more enemies making some battles last forever.

Edit : never played peasants but it's possible Legends makes it easier.

Well, you can't get any decent archers or sergeant, for once. Poachers are like your only option for archers and they are subpar even with the right stars. For sergeant you are locked from any ok background so you just pray some random peasant have all the right perks and stars and not very shitty overall.

We can swarm early enemies because peasants only counts for 2/3 of decent human beings for scaling purpose, but later, when enemy numbers will start catching up, our overall shittiness will be our downfall.

Heheh, I'm fuckin DOMINATING! Scoring kills in every fight! I practically carry this whole chump show!
I hate to admit, but that's not far from truth. You are pretty much the only prolebasher right now who can both stand face to face with enemies and not get killed right away AND to kill someone.

Oh, you want to see what "playing it safe" means in my book? I will show you. NO BATTLES TODAY!

From where we ended today we travel west. There is some fort. Because we can't take contracts from nobles and forts don't sell trade goods it's pretty useless to us. Still bought some cheap tools and hired some elf lover doggo master. InD_ImaginE

IH8f8VD.png




Also unlocked fletching for our camp

9kWgc1F.png




Crossroads. I'm not interested in traveling further west so east we go

pSEXESA.png




There is castle. Still worthless for us at this point, but they have armorer and weaponsmith so we will visit them later.
Just after we left the castle some fag approached us with offer we couldn't refuse. 600 gold is only half of our remaining money - what could possibly go wrong?

:creamyblood:
hC5SwGc.png




This event almost tripled our funds! Also our resident tree hugger got cool bandage too. Win-win situation if you ask me.

eRHAtX7.png




North form the castle there is actually something useful - more trade goods. Pity, they have negative status right now so we can't trade.

3IcTJW1.png




They also selling cool crossbow, but we are too poor

ZLKsSYx.png




I think that's enough exploration for now so from here we travel east to connect with already known lands. There is another unremarkable town here

iH3h645.png




Still we learned about hunting from them

WeQjFwp.png




We can also buy donkeys here. They add lots of space to inventory and can kick asses

eQ05faU.png




And just south from it we found our new best friends:love:

UPdzWln.png




"Unremarkable town" is suddenly much more important. With two adjanced villages with dyes it opens some very quick trade loops.
We need to start building our reputation with all these people asap.

Some rich guy want us to deliver gold somewhere near our starting village and we accept - we have enough gold to buy all their dye and i'm planning to sell it in our friendly town. And his gold will allow me to pay prolebashers on the road until i can reimburse.

Aaaaand it's jackpot. Seasonal fair.

:littlemissfun:
WHC8HPu.png




Visited village of many ambers. They still have that beast problem from the start of the game, so no deal

tUMFE3e.png




Spotted some hobos but i don't care about them. We don't battle today!

After delivering coins i visited our home village to buy cheap amber. Someone raided it, so there is less stuff for us to buy. :argh: At least they want us to escort caravan back to the friendly town. Of course we will!

PdAwWVO.png




Another event happened just as we started escort mission

BErwNV8.png




Sorry, i played it in the middle of the night so shit happened. There is actually two screens with event start and this is finish. One in the middle, where fag threaten us with crossbow is missing

ymKe0vG.png




I hoped seasonal fair is still going, but nope. Still profitable enough

L5F6aqZ.png




Bought tools and medicine, because our retards refusing to heal without it.:argh:

Hired milkmaid Helly

d6usLTP.png




Right now known world looks like this.

OPsfNAp.png




For some perspective. If i scroll map up and left

G8E5X8i.png




So results of me "playing it safe". We have enough people to finish our first ambition. Everyone's equipment is repaired. We have tools and medicine. We have enough money and information to really start rolling and make everyone rich in no time. Yes - even Kalin and Spigot.

But nooooo. Some people just can't appreciate stability, prosperity and hard work. "Yous playing it safe! Y U NO DED PROLEBASHERS!" So no bonaz for you all. Prolebashers will march north. I heard it's full of snow, and giant walking trees, and naked burly barbarian men eager for southern boipussies - you know, things you fags call "ADVENTURE".

Btw i made some serious mistakes in my calculations. Here
Village is really boring so i won't even post it here. There is literally nothing for us.
and here
There is another unremarkable town here

They both has dye production too. Just at the time of my visit facilities were destroyed and pretty far from settlements and i didn't have any dyes on me to compare prices

So this part
"Unremarkable town" is suddenly much more important. With two adjanced villages with dyes it opens some very quick trade loops.
is not true too. They won't buy our goods, but instead sell us even more of it.

To sell goods we have to visit either castle or our friendly town, but now we can actually just run circles and buy dye until we decide to sell it all for huge profit. Now map looks like this. Numbers - settlements with dye production. Circles - destroyed facilities i've missed yesterday.

Ok. We march north

Everyone is happy and praises our glorious leader!

On the road we found another town. And they even offer some easy job

GIalxpd.png




Just... nope... At least there is something easier on the table -

I2r355J.png




There is some unpleasant surpire awaits us when we arrived to graveyard

vnZH86F.png




They are not interested in murdering us and just travel around so we can trigger graveyard fight with them involved

dZOBE1N.png

66eklxz.png




If it was something scary i would gladly used our new big friends but we are able to slaughter nachzehrers ourselves and i have no idea what to do with unholds after this. So i let them wander off

Could be very easy fight, but prolebashers managed to almost fuck thing up. Some are wounded.

Seriously, Sukhavati, Storyfag, GRIMWULF - dafug is dis?! HOW CAN YOU MISS EVERY HIT SITTING ON HIGHER GROUND? AGAINST FUCKING GHOULS? Even Spigot did better than you all combined!

GMhIMXR.png

Kalin leveled up. At least someone is doing his job.

wDMSHZ1.png




Our friends are back AND THIS TIME THEY ARE INTERESTED. Probably because they just witnessed that prolebashers are useless fags. I'm trying to lure them to town - maybe there is some guards to help us.

5HaJqir.png




But instead bunch of peasants just left the city at worst possible time...

So voting time - will prolebashers run like they usually do to live another day or we will make our stand here?

Voting to run away!

Not because of cowardice mind you, but because no one's paying us so sod it, the prolebashers have been called many names but no one has ever called them charitable.
And also because to fight them might gift Reinhardt a convenient way out of this lp and I refuse to end his suffering so easily.

Three Unholds? With our current non-existent weaponry? There's no way we make it out of this without half of the company dead and we aren't even getting paid for this. Run.
