Incline Battle Brothers + Beasts & Exploration, Warriors of the North and Blazing Deserts DLC Thread

Huh, had no idea sser had written a fantasy novel previously. Looks like he's no stranger to KDP

It was shit.

However, I have a whole bunch of smut on there, haven't put any up in a long while and I still get the occasional check.

Could you talk a bit about the arrangement you have with Overhype on Wolfmother? Is BB IP being licensed out to you? It's KDP so there's no publisher?

Nope just based in the BB setting. Technically, it's a prequel but I don't want to give too much away. I wrote it very quickly to match with BB's anniversary.

And the upcoming expansion, right? right?

L-Let's focus on the anniversary sale.

Expansion confirmed by sser

 

[vonAchdorf]

It's not totally unlikely - they surely have noticed the renewed interest the mini DLC brought. But I believe them, when they say that that they don't have the capacity to focus on a DLC and their new game and an expansion DLC wouldn't bring them necessarily much money. So it's a mystery how they'll allocate their manpower.

Bought this on sale yesterday. After all the overhype, it's kinda disappointing how shallow the game actually is. Mounts and field fortifications could have spiced the game up a bit.

Alright, I'll figure out one day or later that the Codex doesn't actually have a culture for tactical-based games

 

[RK47]

yeah the game need some legs to be deeper.

If I'd played fewer tactical games, maybe the tiny handful of options the game offers would seem more impressive.

All the other mercenary-band games I've played encouraged doing more than building a shield wall with some pikes and archers behind it.

I do not know why all you people are butblasted about his opinion.
Not even mention that he is right. If you come with any serious overhype the game would disappoint you(heck it disappointing me even when I lost all hype). Whole game is just bunch of random(less or more as its scaled) skirmishes that consisted mostly of two types of battles. Global part is even more disappointing.
Addition of fortification and mechanism to siege/hide behind walls would add great deal to global behavior(and global economy as it would add chance for sieges, blockades to arouse organically or to preserve local forces - especially if devs change encounters to be not always be fight until destruction for either side) not even mentioning tactical option or battles.

 

[agris]

sser when does your Contract work with overhype expire?

Now this is a man with a serious proposition!

this game is as tactical as rolling dice.

Perhaps Warbanners (which is about building a shield wall and spamming potions.)

Spoiler

Ok. Some flanking by skirmishers/cavalry is somewhat doable too

Dude I know that you have played other "mercenary band games"...

I wouldn't pass an opportunity to "stealthily" promote Drums of War/Warbanners to "what about the sieges" -crowd.
Those are not perfect games (I've stopped chasing that particular dragon long time ago), but nice enough for their niche; though developer seems to be driving himself bonkers by trying to appease people that don't understand how dice works.

Mountain blade, JA2, dankest dungeon. X-piratez and tons of other games if you're looser with the definition of merc. The one that plays the most like BB is Legends of Eisenwald, which has fairly mediocre combat too.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

TBH. It would be actually pretty neat if X-piratez gave bonus from forming a shield wall.

Jagged Alliance 2 doesn't encourage you to form a shield wall ? Damn ! What a disappointment, I was looking to play it after playing BB.

its not a shield wall explicit bonus but a good strategy against melee-only enemies (zombies, werewolves, etc) is to defend the bus with barbarian-shield armor on gals with good react+melee because you get high evasion combined with a decentish front armor rating, while your archers and shooters behind them take reaction shots against anyone who opens the doors. You just need to keep morale and energy up playing defensively.

My usual squad has couple of slave soldiers with shield for those situations.
Though X-piratez gives lots of freedom to LARP when not playing highest difficulty.

Or you bring one single gal with a grav harness.
