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

[*-*/\--/\~]

Well they certainly are scared of me... I have level 7 bros now and haven't seen a single spider yet. Wanna stab some arachnids too, dammit.

 

[Parabalus]

Enemy turns are noticeably faster, no weird pauses anymore.

 

[Barbarian]

Here we go again. Not getting wiped out by damn spiders this time.

 

[Jimmious]

Got smashed by orcs. Is it me or is the map much more "active" ? I feel like I'm getting much more encounters generally. Not complaining, just noticing

Strangely, I've felt that it is less active, including completely quiet caravan trips. Perhaps just the luck of the draw?

 

[Barbarian]

Bases now spawn troops. Luck of the draw I would say.

So far spiders are the goblins of the monster faction. Avoid at all costs. Not even getting craftable drops from them so they are a complete waste of time. The villagers have to hunt their own god damn spiders!

I feel that way about Alps. Spiders seem appropiately squishy.

 

[Barbarian]

Spiders are really uneven I would say. On my last playthrough I got a string of easy fights with them, so much that I considered the things free loot carriers and was hoarding gossamer and poison glands.

But then eggs began to appear. If you don't control that shit quickly enough they begin to multiply and soon overwhelm you. My last run ended precisely this way.

 

[Reinhardt]

I hope there is spider city somewhere with hundreds of spiders.

 

[Strange Fellow]

I've played way more than I have any right to these past two days, and I haven't seen a single spider. What gives? All the other DLC monsters are certainly "avoid at all costs" enemies, though. Fucking Alps.

Yeah. I managed to destroy one egg. Not sure how you are supposed to make it out there. Within 2 turns 12+ spiders are flooding my battle lines. Their attack does a surprising amount of damage, and then poison on top of that! Does their attack ignore armor?

Funny. Spiders is the only monster I have met so far. They are crawling around all over the southern part in my game.

It's probably that... It's not rare to walk back from a contract and pass by a settlement which has spawned a garrison to attack you.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

I think that game underestimates caravan contract traveling distances.
Supposed 4 day trip takes actually 6 days etc.

I also took 3-skull "get rid of nightmares" -job on village that's middle of swamp with low level company.
How screwed those poor newbies are?

Memo to self: doggies, lots of doggies.

If codex taught me anything is that proper charts should include comparissons with Bard's Tale 4 and Grimoire.

 

[Tigranes]

Welp. Things were going so well, I thought I'd do a 3 skull caravan with my level 2-4s. Got hit by a dozen brigand raiders, half dozen are dead or crippled.

Best news is the caravan trip is only halfway!

 

[vazha]

It might be my luck but I have trouble finding any decent bros. Already lvl 7-8 and still havent found a single three star melee or ranged bro, or resolve for that matter. Had to convert starting 2 hander bro (iron lungs and fearless) ino a sergeant. Not sure if it was a wise decision.

The guy with M Att and M Def stats? Nooooooo!

Normally, the Bro who starts with Spear and Shield makes a decent Sarge. Most end up with ok M Att and R Att, so he can use Banner + Crossbow.

At least, with Iron Lungs he can spam 'Rally' all day though.

 

[Alienman]

Getting renown is a trap right? Seems the world instan-leveled up for me when I got a couple milestones done. Now I have 15+ spider groups roaming around, which is impossible to do.

[Sarissofoi]

I fought Alps.
First time I lost only one brother but game crashed so I needed repeat it. Overall it was more a puzzle than fight. I can see how its easy to turn it into disaster or tedious exercise of futility - especially in hostile terrain(like swamp or forest) where you can not maintain formation or wake up brothers. Or if there are plenty of them. Not really impressed. Don't really like their presence in the lore. Its not witcher. 2/5
Spiders on the other hand are rather fun fight. I fought them like 4 times and I was enjoying slaughtering them. Lost only one cheap grunt and only because he was low on health and armor from other fight. Fighting them in forest was even easier thanks to chokepoints - if you don't get bad RNG. I can see that on higher levels they would not pose much threat. Still perfect low level combat. 5/5 Only disappointed by their presentation on the global map. What I mean by that? Well I expected two types of them roaming enemies and lair. Lairs with egges and roaming hordes with not. Make sense yeah? Also kind of sad that they don't have boss/leader unit - something like queen of spiders or big hunter spiders. But whatever.
See unhold but company was weakened so didn't engage. Didn't see hag. Thank gods.
Current game progression is rather smooth(for a time). Better balance which is nice.
>guten tag clubbospear is my favorite low level weapon now

Be ware of doing long caravans.
First encounter 9 orcs (including 3 berserkers).

Spoiler

Bloody fight. Lost one donkey and 2 caravan hands.
Second encounters Goblin wolf riders.

Spoiler

It was fine.
Now I gonna go safely to destination. Right?

Spoiler

Well I think we can defeat them. If there is no berserkers.

Spoiler

Poor donkey.

Like a huge cocoon with huge momma spider, that would be damn cool.
