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

They need to add a feature to save generated terrain if you reload to the prefight autosave.

That would be such a hugely elegant way to resolve the only problem that reloading losses has.

Do you guys not use reserves meat shields or what? If you have to train up a bro from scratch every time somebody kicks it you're doing something wrong.

Fixed.

This is a very good reason to hire the cheapest backgrounds possible, like cripples or beggars.

 

[hivemind]

Yeah man I really love having beggars and cripples with 70mattack and 110 naked fatigue at lvl 11.

Really useful units those are.

Not with the Lone Wolf start.

11? More like 1 (and yes, it's a very subtle hint *wink, wink* to nudge you to read my post again. More carefully this time).

i would suck thedick of any unit with 70mattack and 100 fatigue at lvl 1

Playing safe, i see - they don't have legs.

 

[hivemind]

>he doesn't play with the legs mod
lol

 

[Harthwain]

At this point I am astonished by your ability to breathe. Whatever, carry on.

If the gameplay didn't support grinding in this way, taking losses would also be different. But now that the progression of the world is tied to the strength of your company, nothing is really a permanent setback - you have all the time you want to regain strength usually. If there was a strictly time-limited campaign in the game, and you'd have to struggle to reach the best ending you can or such, then it'd feel more like a test of skill to keep your dudes alive but also getting them strong as fast as possible.

 

[hivemind]

f there was a strictly time-limited campaign in the game

There is though. It's extremely high tech though as it's entirely based on how far away from the neurotypical average the player is.

 

[Johannes]

IIRC the starting time of the crises depends on the progress of the company, not just time passed. Or do you mean something else? I also haven't played the latest dlc / latest versions

 

[hivemind]

It was a joke about the time limit for a campaign being how autistic you are.

 

[Johannes]

Extremely high tech joke

SWITCH ANNOUNCEMENT

Instead of having a dev blog this week we bring you a special announcement.

For a long time now you guys have written to us how you’d love to play Battle Brothers on your Switch and take your campaign on the road. Both the game and the community have grown a lot over the past couple of years, and these days there’s nary a dev blog without you guys asking for Battle Brothers on your Switch. Being able to play a hardcore tactical turn-based game with lots of replayability wherever you are? Let’s make it happen!

We’re excited to announce that Battle Brothers is coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year!



That’s right! Soon you’ll be able to lead your own mercenary company through the perils of a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world even while traveling. You’ll get to decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight from the comfort of a relaxing couch. And it’ll be your choice what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign whether you’re commuting or flying ten thousand feet in the air. You’ll get to play with all the content and features of the PC version, and you’ll have access to all available DLC – including the upcoming ‘Blazing Deserts’ DLC and the free 1.4 update which will release in Q2 of this year.

To bring Battle Brothers to the Switch in the best way possible, we’ve partnered with Ukiyo Publishing for this. This means that we can focus all of our energy on developing more content and gameplay features for Battle Brothers, while Ukiyo Publishing, with over a decade in industry experience, will make sure that it is just as enjoyable an experience on the Switch as it is on the PC. Good thing then that they’re fans of Battle Brothers themselves!

They start porting games to consoles and a few games later they are porting games to PC with all the dumbing down it implies.

Stop being such a hater. Switch version means I can play the game while my wife discovers and explores her sexuality in the room next door. Actually, it's the perfect opportunity to prove how much we were meant for each other. I finish my Black Monolith while she finishes hers and then we can discuss our experiences and figure out who had the hardest Monolith!

But hey, you guys know I'm pretty gud at Battle Brothers, so OFC HER monolith is gonna be much harder.

 

[Jimmious]

I don't mind them getting more moneys and recognition... As long as it doesn't mean a more "dumbed down" version for us , the pure original fans of the PC master race. Right rapsdjff ?

 

[hivemind]

how exactly could yo udumb down this already extremely simple game

 

[sqeecoo]

So bros are any of the DLCs worth buying? I detest DLCs but I like this game, do they change anything significant? Seems like they mostly add new monsters and such which is fine, but not worth playing more than the original price of the game (for both).

 

[hivemind]

ofc i'm serious you absolute brainlet

the switch runs games which are magnitudes above battle brothers in terms of systematic complexity so any fear about "dumbing down" of the pc version due to switch is entirely based on the "consoles dumbing stuff down" meme applied without any critical thinking in regards to the contextual origins of the meme and whether its applicable to this situation whatsoever

Without the DLCs you'd miss out on quite some content, be it "fantasy" in Beasts&Exploration or "northern barbarian plus new gear" in Warriors of the North. I found them both good but they don't really change the gameplay that much

Good then, no worries
