Goddammit I fucking hate swamps.
Feels like there's some algorith that makes your bros ALWAYS spawn in the murky water just as a big FUCK YOU.

 

[hivemind]

I think i will start buying named daggers for everyone just to show my wealth to dirty peasants.

who needs wealth when we can live RENT FREE in your head

 

[Grunker]

Just got a Reinforced Mail Hauberk (210) and Padded flat top helmet (150) (among other things) as loot! This took some very careful knife work!

Not sure this is necessary, i often get 0% armors as loot.

You do..? Haven't played in a while but getting good quality armor without knifing is something that's happened to me maybe 4 or 5 times in ~50 hours of play. Can't say the knifing minigame is something I'm a big fan of though it does make sense mechanically/balance-wise and at least when I last played it was p. much mandatory

 

[Reinhardt]

Just skip knifing part and buy better armor. Only leaders and knights worth stripping.

 

[Grunker]

buy

costs a gazillion billion which you won't have if you play at anything above CAN I PLAY, DADDY? settings

It's a special trait of the barbarian origin that you're able to get destroyed armor as loot. The invitation to Knife Town - population: You isn't really that fun, but on the other hand, you somehow need to balance the amount of loot you can get out of a fight, otherwise you'd be much faster geared up. That being said, that you only get a 90% chance iirc to loot undamaged armor is pretty retarded and I hate that the devs are so keen on RNG. There's nothing more frustrating than carefully shanking a leader or knight, maybe even lose a brother or two in the process and then you get nothing out of it.

Well, I'm at day 40 with my peasant militia and things are going pretty well, although I'm severly undergeared. I think I need to bite the bullet and raid a supply caravan or two, I can handle most brigand parties with ease with the exception of marksmen. Fuckers spawned with crossbows and took down two of my brehs, but got the crossbows for myself which are somewhere around 2k crowns if I'm not mistaken, so their sacrifice wasn't in vain.

Yeah I agree hence

I haven't played with the backgrounds yet but getting 0% armor sounds p. insane

Headhunter + basic poison +arbalest has given me some results while harvesting armours.

 

[Payd Shell]

Unless they have resilience
But if you got an arbalest already, well

My combat music:

My battle music with my barbarian crew that slaughters peasants and caravans whenever possible:

 

[Tigranes]

I have to say that I prefer spearwalls, shiv-armour-thieves, mace-stunners and of course ranged & polearms in the early game. All really useful ways to keep your fragile bros out of trouble. Flails I don't feel great about using them until I have enough mattack to land those head hits, at which point there's many other options.

 

[Payd Shell]

why listen to some weird music when you can listen to the soundtrack

My battle music with my barbarian crew that slaughters peasants and caravans whenever possible:

Meanwhile, i'm working my ass off to get on every faction's good graces after the dreadful barbarian start, you certainly picked the easiest way.

The worst part is i picked a caravan escort mission right after the event (which costs 2k gold) that brings 2 hostiles factions to threatening relation and the local militia ambushed my party surrounded it in the swamps, no way to flee.

Long story short, relations went back to hostile with one faction.

It's a special trait of the barbarian origin that you're able to get destroyed armor as loot.

We barbarians are quite crafty, aren't we ?

I've been listening to the soundtrack over 200 hours already :D

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Bah.
Go full Mongolian throat singing or go home.

 

[Payd Shell]

Mod where you start as a chosen instead of a hedge knight when

 

[hivemind]

sorry to say but I have been traderpilled

better gear at ay 50 with half the playtime than usually I have at crisis time

 

[hivemind]

broke(literallly): fighting in the dirt
bespoke: selling salt and wood

 

[Old Hans]

I have bad to report. my battle buddies team "the football boys" they all dead. day 64 and got overrun with like 14 those bullshit monsters that each other and get big. 1 like = 1 prayer

 

[Payd Shell]

dying to nachos lol

 

[toro]

My company is dead.

Spoiler

Got this quest.

I've done everything except killing a patrol.

Well, this is the fucking patrol.

Needless to say I got fucked. Honestly I've tried like 2-3 hours to win this fight but there was no way. Their Bannerman was insane. My Lone Wolf got rekt.

Indeed, porca miseria.

 

[Payd Shell]

Yeah you had pikes. Billhooks and good archers are kinda needed against noble armies. You need T3 weapons to reliably deal with them. Which is something I personally never seem to learn, I get complacent steamrolling raiders and their camps and then the first crisis hits and that's usually where I lose.

 

[Prime Junta]

I’ve decided I don’t care for the Northern Raider start. Other than occasional raids on hostile caravans I’m just grinding in a small corner of the map. Mega repetitive even by BB standards. The inherently badass barbarians are insufficient to make up for it.

 

[Jimmious]

Yeah it does limit your options

 

[AwesomeButton]

Just got my company thoroughly whooped by a group of four Unholds. Either Level 6 is too early or my guys are too weak.
