You know about the 'Seed Generator'? https://wlirareddit.github.io/bb_calculator/seed_search_gladiators.htmlBros share a good map seed plz
Am I missing something, or it only works with five origins?You know about the 'Seed Generator'? https://wlirareddit.github.io/bb_calculator/seed_search_gladiators.html (I'm apparently too dumb to create a proper link.)Bros share a good map seed plz
My favourite is 'VczRNDxEaz'. It has good North - South connection and an Arena port.
If you want to look for specific Bros, you only can do that with the five origins, yes.Am I missing something, or it only works with five origins?You know about the 'Seed Generator'? https://wlirareddit.github.io/bb_calculator/seed_search_gladiators.html (I'm apparently too dumb to create a proper link.)Bros share a good map seed plz

Had a really silly battle against southerners. I was attacked by a 23 strong army, they had a mortar, several gunners, officers and gods know what more, so I was as good as dead. OR SO THEY THOUGHT anyway. What they didn't know was that I lured them into a trap. They didn't have to kill just me, they had to kill 16 serpents as well. So while they were battling me, the serpents came into their flank from the top, kidnapping man after man to quietly snack on them a bit above the fighting line. It was hilarious to see until the endless hunger of the serpents turned to me. I managed to fight them both off, but lost 4 men in the skirmish, 3 came back traumatized. Not that I blame them.

So, your clever plan misfired?
You forgot to equip your psi-amps to fight-off thesnakemenserpents?
Most (if not every time) of the time, the extra assailants come from the north, so, depending on the battlefield, you could have just retreated (just 2 hexes back and 2 hexes south) for one turn and wait before acting on the second one before flanking them from the south and suffer no losses.

They did split off some of their men, and the biggest help was that they aimed the mortar at the snakes before targeting me, so I wouldn't say it misfired, it actually helped me, until I had to kill the snakes
Snakes coming for the rest of us.
Sling... I would rather have an archer, 2 quick shots can wound enemies or easily kill unarmored ones and gimp enemies morale.
Or a crossbowman which can sometimes fire twice a turn with berserk.
Or even a gunner.
tbh I much prefer thrower hybrids on the current patch. Even if I build an archer he'll typically have throwing as well
Shieldbros everywhere...
Where are your DPS bros?

I like shields, and I got one front-line two-hander, with a bunch of dudes that throw javelins and use 2tile-reach weapons. And the sling-guy is just a personal meme thing, he have used that thing since the beginning but I'm really I'm starting to like it. He does some serious damage to people without helmets, and a hit usually has a stun effect too.
I don't really meta in any game, so I don't follow the best optimized killing scheme.
I fought an Alp but didn't really like it. Feels like there's only one way you can reasonably expect to win this creature, which is to stun it with a mace. At the time I didn't have anyone with a mace.
Anyway, this time I took the Perk that gives you more XP and Gifted for an instant level up and my start was a lot smoother. Colossus seemed like a really good choice when I started as a newbie which is why I gave it to everyone, but I came to realize that it's almost a trap choice as armor is where it's all at. I find that the early perks are somewhat situational and the stats you get from leveling up matter more, and having faster access to the mid tier perks is great since they are less situational. I don't see Gifted as a wasted perk since most of the guys you have at the start are going to get replaced by better ones anyway.
I have two guys throwing axes and spears and they're really beastly. I also have an archer but it feels like he misses most of the time (despite having the best ratkt) and when he doesn't it's not all that effective. Good for sniping enemy archers, but I think a Crossbowman would've served me better
Can't deny this game has staying power. Every couple of months I keep getting back to it.
Itt, thematically I have decided Northern Raiders to be the best origin. Love that Bob Howard esque start. Just wish it had more events.

Not to mention every new DLC, you can't help it and buy it to play another 300h.
New game in the works. They are looking for 3d artists so whatever is coming will be 3d.
Personally I think they should do a sequel. It would be dumb not to do so, being that this was a hit.
They might've blown most of the next game's budget on Can-can.New game in the works. They are looking for 3d artists so whatever is coming will be 3d.

What an amateurish business approach.
It's obvious that instead of 3d artists they should look for leg artists.
