Whatever they do, I hope it has a well done evil path, because goddamnit I want to be the necromancer.

There could be also be also some reversed versions of standard missions.
Grave robbing and artifact stealing from towns for example.

I just want to go east. Byzantine, slavs, nomads, arabs. And some expansions later - samurai.

Not sure about going for particular "cultures" but I seriously do hope that if there is another DLC adding new enemies one day - it will be focused on adding more variety to human enemies.
Also what Jimmious said.

Slavs maaaybe, but all other things mentioned would be retarded and not fit the germanic setting. Specially samurai.

I too would vouch for better human factions. As usual, more enemies, more events, more contracts. The game needs more content(i.e: more of the same) and a few new things, reinventing the wheel is not needed.

Raid and Destroy trade caravans, plunder mines, etc.

There's definitely stuff there, just need a way to allow for it to happen. Could be that you have to get bandit trust first and sign up with a specific bandit faction instead of just "all bandits". they already have different standards, if they were set so the bandit factions are actually static it could be a thing.

I can see it now, Battle Brothers: Warlords and Pillaging DLC

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I still want more on Merc management. Maybe add more merc companies and merc rivalries. Have a Space Rangers 2-like Merc rating board. Be able to team up with/destroy merc companies. Maybe add Merc bases (not full fledged cities but a base and you can destroy them/have yours destroyed). Noble contracts may have competition with other bands, so if they complete it first you get no payout.

Just a thought.

 

[Teut Busnet]

Whatever they decide to do next, it's a day 1 purchase for me. That's just a law of nature at this point.

I'm with you, unless they go too far with the magic.

I love the legendary locations with their odd stories, the mysterious beasts straight out of fairytales, but I hope they leave it at that so it keeps feeling special.

+ 1 on an additional human enemy faction (Invaders landing on a far away coast, native tribes, etc.). I also hope for more battle locations.

 

[Parabalus]

I think there is enough enemy variety already. In my current run I'm 110 days in and have barely seen undead and goblins. Something else is needed to spice up battles in a different way than another faction.

Though a DLC focusing on the campaign map and factions might be better.

Noble houses can already contract you to do both of the above - destroy rival caravans and raid rival settlement buildings, so it's not too much of a stretch.

That's still only during Noble war crisis.
Ability to go brigand would be completely different step. There would be a need to be able to tap alternative markets for example.
Black market or whatever Raubritters, merry men of the woods and necromancers use.

I got the "destroy rival caravan" both before and after orc invasion crisis, so it's not noble war only.

So whats the point in fighting mid-lategame raider groups then? (the roaming ones)

xp, money

there are more entertaining ways for acquiring both. This seems like a bad design decision. They could have at lest left a miniscule chance of them having uniques. As things stand, I've got no quarrel with them as they offer close to zero worthwhile loot.

 

[hivemind]

I think enemy variety is pretty good now. Bandit/Evil dlc would be great. For brigandry the most needed bit I think is way to obtain food/supplies without buying them otherwise it's pretty much just expanding on the ability to attack "friendlies" that already exists and perhaps adding some events like being hunted by bounty hunters that like spawns a stack chasing u or something for extra flavor and content. Working for necromancers/hexens sounds cool but idk how they would implement it. Maybe add them as a faction and be able to interact with their lairs as with cities if you raise your rep enough(selling the stolen thingy, letting them kill the first born, some new ones maybe). They could also use it to expand on the whole Davkul thing the cultists are on about.

Other than that I honestly can't think of much that the game needs that wouldn't feel a bit bloated and unrelated to the core premise.

 

[tindrli]

and some indoor battle locations/quests

 

[Reinhardt]

but all other things mentioned would be retarded and not fit the germanic setting.

Nigga, we already have dead romans. Why alive romans from Eastern Roman Empire is haram?

 

[hivemind]

byzantines would be jarring imo

some sort of proto-slavs living in the wilds in harmony with unholds and trees or migratory huns(turkic) would be the only other type of human "race" that would fit imo

 

[Alienman]

Morlocks.

 

[hivemind]

those are already included in several of the faces your lads can spawn with

 

[Jimmious]

Morlocks.

Murlocks?

How are you supposed to deal with Alps, I just got totally destroyed by four of them on a 1 skull contract. And I was basically near midgame.

So, it's night, your archers won't hit. So scratch that. If you stay together most of your guys get afflicted by the sleep spell and you're fucked. If you spread out (and usually there are some alps in front of you and some behind you) your guys get the sleep too and there is no one near to wake them up. If you move as a group towards the alps they just run away. The only solution I can think of is dogs, but I had no dogs so fuck me.

 

[Barbarian]

What can you do with poisoned apples and witch hair? I hoarded some of the stuff but have no crafting recipe with them unlocked.

Seems like bad design, from what has been said here dogs are the answer.

How does the sleep shit even work, tied to resolve? Do high resolve characters resist it? Bad enough you won't have any for 90% of the game.

 

[Soulstones]

How are you supposed to deal with Alps

Walk them into the map wall.
Spread your 12 dudes 1 tile out, or just 2 front lines with 1 tile distance, wait out their sleep and wake up sequentially. Walk 2 tiles a turn, keeping formation so that you can always wake up everyone.
In my game everyone has Pathfinder so terrain is not a problem.
I fought 10 alps once, that was the limit that I could not control their sleep anymore without dogos.

 

[Reinhardt]

Do high resolve characters resist it?

My sarge was pretty much immune. Maybe if alp roll natural 20... But yes - in my first battle everyone died because i had no idea what i'm doing and he alone chased them around the map.
