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

2 reasons:

1. Yes, I was fighting relatively few battles because most contracts on Expert/Ironman are too hard to take on at early levels, so I traveled more with Armed Escort/Caravan contracts, looking for some reasonable combat ones.
2. Many of my bros died in previous battles, so it was hard to get them to higher levels.

Don't feel bad cause I am the only one playing on "true" hardest difficulty settings. Lol, some of you even use mods to make game easier.

we finished the game years ago
go watch some streamers roflstomp orc camps for arts at day 55
maybe you'll learn how to deal with low level enemies

Talk is cheap my friend. Having the steam achievement that less than 5% of hardcore gamers do, priceless.

It's consensus at this point that expert economy just makes the game more grindy. If you don't wanna take our word for it, just check twitch and youtube videos of people finishing the game(meaning doing all the content, including legendary locations) multiple times on E/E/I and then later switching to beginner economy for that reason.

You've been told multiple times how that is the wrong way to play.

Don't feel bad cause I am the only one [dying repeatedly by] playing [sub-optimally] on "true" hardest difficulty settings.

Fixed for you.

Hold that thought.

Just ended a 850 day campaign with Lone Wolf, learned so much with this. How to build backliners, backgrounds,gambling with camps early for better gear. I'm gonna do Poachers or Peasant Militia, now I feel more confident.

 

[Jrpgfan]

850 day campaign. That's what I call perseverance lol.

What's the best origin?

Spoiler

And why is it peasant militia? Lowborn backgrounds rise up!

Norsca Northern Raiders.

Bonus points if you recruit some cultists and gather the different items tied to Davkul throughout your campaign.

I don't know if it's just me, but I seem to get a lot more bandit leaders and earlier when playing with militia on expert, due to the game scaling to 14 brothers I assume.
I love snowballing in this motherfucker, until the noble armies come along and curb stomp my lowborn ass.

Sloboda ili smrt.

 

[Takamori]

Ok day 19 with my peasant militia and found 2 famed weapons already...

 

[Alienman]

What, how? I never find any named items...

 

[Kaivokz]

Do you check tavern rumors and defeat camps without taking one or two skull contracts for them?

 

[Savecummer]

What, how? I never find any named items...

get a mod that dispalys named chance on camps
raid early
...
profit or die

 

[Takamori]

Oh I'm running no mods and took a 3 skull contract. With the crossbow at this early my poacher basically guaranteed to remove 1 enemy per turn on the field.

Not taverns so much, but I do raid camps from time to time.

 

[Fluent]

just wanted to say that this game is on my short list of rpgs to try, and that i adored reading thru this thread. u are all very knowledgable and are having a blast with this game, and that comes thru via your posts. porky's recent exploits were a joy to read about, too, sorry porkster, it came at your expense, heh. but really, fantastic thread guys, and thanks to all for contributing. one day i will post my group when i finally have time to start this behemoth of an epic adventure!

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

Nothing to be sorry about, I really like Battle Brothers and have been shilling it in Shoutbox, etc. Of course that doesn't mean I won't bitch about it when things don't go my way on the ABSOLUTE HARDEST DIFFICULTY SETTINGS that no one here plays on except yours truly, but it's all in good spirit.

Porky applies some aloe to Serus 's butt.

There is a limit to the masochism.

Not all camps yield unique items. What rumours do is hint where you might find a unique item after a battle, which is why the best way to hunt for unique items is by checking taverns for rumours.

 

[Kaivokz]

Taverns tell you where you’ll definitely find a famed item as far as I know. And camps farther away from towns have a decent chance of dropping famed items.

Also, when you have a frightened villagers mission and you find grave robbers who propose you to let them go in exchange for the location of some treasure, if you accept you have the chance of a new location with a unique spawning and being revealed on the worldmap (and if you have a historian in your party the chance is 100%). Same thing with southern missions about indebted revolts (they may propose you etc. etc.). You can also be offered a map for purchase by a merchant (here as well the historian gives you 100% success).
