Footwork is also very useful trait in Alp fights.

MODS

Fixed.

 

[Arulan]

I'm very pleasantly surprised that they're releasing new content after saying they wouldn't. Looking forward to another couple hundred hours!

 

[Country_Gravy]

I would like 2 more DLC after warriors of the north. One that adds a coherent story of some sort. And one that adds enough shit to do random missions and create an elite force of killers.

And building my own fort, complete with decorations.

Wait what there's a polehammer now.

How am I supposed to choose between glorious polehammers and Billmen? So hard to decide

Stay with Billmen. I found the Polehammer to be pretty underwhelming, tbh.

Like Spetum or two-handed Flail, it could use a buff, maybe in form of an interesting status effect.

Install 18 bros mod now or wait for murder hobo peasant band origin and use both.

 

[Urthor]

Polehammers are amazing you should all feel bad. 1 Bill so you can pull wights n shit the rest Polehammers

It rips so much orc armour away at reach it isn't funny using the secondary ability. It's basically an Orc masher

Problem is that Pole-hammer don't work with Polearm mastery.

Does it matter? Polararm mastery doesn't matter too much because it only turns the AP cost from 6 to 5, which is below the break point if 4/9 that lets you attack twice per turn. The close attack bonus is nice I guess but the hammer mastery one is just as good, alright but not broken

 

[hivemind]

uhm no sweetie

try again

 

[Vilain Joueur]

Yes, it's useful for movement, allowing one more on 2 AP costing tiles.
But Hammer Mastery is pretty sweet too. Increased damage on Destroy and Demolish Armor and reduced Fatigue, in this category, for all types of melee weapon (1H, 2H, reach).

 

[hivemind]

it also allows you to tap move tap or move double tap if you have berserk

 

[hivemind]

(or double tap move if you are a crazy mofo)

You can fire bow and attack with polearm in the same turn if you have quick hands. Even if you don't have it you can still change weapon and have enough ap to attack in melee if needed. With berserk if you killed your target with polearm you can move before you hit again.

 

[Tigranes]

Yep. Polearm mastery is a massive game-changer for wielders, arguably more than most other weapon masteries. I'm a fan of giving it to every archer.

 

[Urthor]

That's legitimately just silly, multiple attacks per combat then one more from berserk for 3 attacks

 

[Reinhardt]

3 attacks

Only if you kill your target. So most of the time it's only against bandits or low level beasts. When you fight ork warriors or ancient dead or unholds it's pretty rare ocasion. And you can get 3 attacks only with 1h weapons and bows i.e. not the most damaging weapon types.

 

[Sarissofoi]

Quick hands
smack somebody and you have 2 light and one polearm attack.

Tried this game for the first time. The combat system is really cool, and I like the aesthetics, but the constant countdown to gold running out takes all the fun out of it. It feels more like a job than a game. It's like playing Fallout 1 with the time limit, except the time limit figures after every fight, quest, etc. No thanks.

Do you also play city builders with infinite money?

Once you get the hang of the very basics of the game it isn't really an onerous requirement. It's also important to keep the rhythm of the gameplay instead of, say, taking a week off to heal injuries. It's something that pushes you to get your company up to speed early on, but it's rarely some kind of "OH MY GOD THE TIMER" after every fight unless you're truly terrible.

 

[vota DC]

But quest can be done again so you have infinite time.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

City builders and regular strategy games are completely different in this regard in that they allow you to set up a stable economy that churns out resources on a regular basis. This is very different from a game where you must constantly find ways to make money.

 

[hivemind]

uhm no sweetie actually making money in this game is extremely easy
