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

[Sarissofoi]

Enjoy.
The best advice is to ignore guides, streamers and other shit and experience game in full glory in blind run.

Very true, but kinda surprised reading that coming from you tbh

How so?
Explain. I am curious now.

 

[Alienman]

Just got me thinking when you were not being too impressed with my turn-based skills/knowledge of the game on some semi-blind early access preview I did on Youtube (unfortunately, I can't find the comment), but then again you seem to like it in the end - so

Spoiler

Anyway, from that I got the impression that meta was the way to go.

I don't even know if I should go for a full playthrough with this new dlc, even though I will buy it on day one as usual. I suspect they will release more dlcs.

Btw, I hope the scimitar doesn't mean they will go for asian inspired regions in future dlcs. I would much prefer a dungeon dlc or a dlc that improves the settlement mechanics(cities actually prospering and growing instead of just either being stale or destroyed). Increasing the map yet again wouldn't be the best way to go I think, though more enemy variety is always welcome.

The lead writer hasn't posted here in a while. Forgot his handle otherwise I would tag him to ask how much written content he did for this new dlc. A quantity comparable to B&E I hope.

(quite curious about any special rules involving the poacher origin):

I agree dungeon exploring could be pretty fun. And the towns need work.

I really like this game.

Not sure what the numbers are. The writing side of it is more spread as there are more points to hit, I'd say. I actually physically had a hard time writing past few months as I had a slight tear in my rotator cuff for what was once considered my 'healthy shoulder.' My other shoulder's already retired to the gimp fields so that was fun. One time I leaned down to pick a shirt off the ground with my right hand and my left shoulder cracked as it shifted in the socket. Aged Wordsmith Event Proc is absolute bullshit. After that I went back to boxing and blew up my wrist overworking the heavy bag like a moron. Good times, all in all.

Will there be exclusive content/events per company background? Maybe I'm asking an obvious question here, since it seems at least the cultist background has it, but we would all love to hear it from you.

It would be somewhat disappointing if in the end the origins don't amount to more than "special playthrough rules/settings". Many currently existing events would also break those rules(i.e: events where you gain a free recruit from a high tier background).

 

[Teut Busnet]

Do we have info on the recruitment-restrictions of the 'Militia'? Especially if they can hire Hunters or not?

If they can, I think their 18 Bros advantage will make it too easy.

Lads.
What is that Jason trying to tell us?

 

[Infinitron]

Idea: THULSA DOOM playthrough using Davkul Cultist origin. Wander the north with a small horde of heavily armored warriors wiping out barbarian settlements and seeking steel.

I thought the same thing when I heard him.

I'm sure you already gave Battle Brothers 5 Points in the 'Best RPG' voting, Sarissofoi!?!

 

[Reinhardt]

And removed 5 points in downvoting too.

Developer interview
https://turnbasedlovers.com/10-turns-interview/with-battle-brothers-developer/

...
After a titanic work with lots of updates and DLCs, do you still have something in store for Battle Brothers?

We designed Battle Brothers in a way that it is rather easily expandable and of course we still have ideas in store for it. However, by now it is getting more and more difficult to add new weapons or new enemies that still feel unique and are not just a “reskin” of something that is already existing.

We always want to add more choices for the player when adding new content and it is important to us that the content is somewhat meaningful. Expanding a game just to expand it is not what we want.

...
And here we are with the million dollar question. What are your plans for the future? Are you already thinking about a new game?

For now, we will focus on the release and support for the “Warriors of the North” DLC and try to iron out any bugs or other issues as quickly as possible. As people know we have been working on the side on a new, unannounced project for quite a while now. However, it is still pretty far from being revealed so I can not share any news on that!

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Will starting bros from company that has "Northern Raiders" background use same equipment and look as barbarians?

Answer to this question is yes, by the way.

 

[TT1]

They could easily release a DCL with new classes, more fantasy/ D&D inspired, like mages and stuff. We already have undeads and magic, so why not add the whole package?

But its interesting to see how they went from "we are done, the game is finished. Goodbye" to "we have tons of ideas". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
