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

So, I got the greenskin invasion. I killed a shit load of them so far, but they still managed to sack two towns. Anyway, how do I know how things are going? Just by looking at the map, it seem I'm about to lose a couple more city because for some reason I'm the only one that stand between civilization and greenskin murder-spree.

 

[Haba]

It seems to end automatically at some point, but I would suggest destroying their sites in the vicinity of the towns you don't want to lose.

 

[Alienman]

Okay, damn. I got orc-fatigue already. Young orcs are okay, but those heavy warriors. Ugh. And the goblins. Now when I think about it, I think I will retire and move down south. Seem safer down there.

 

[Urthor]

Still don't think they've got the handle on how to deal with permadeath of cities. Beta it was everything died and couldn't be rebuilt, and they still haven't gotten a perfect solution for it.

 

[Jimmious]

Wtf do you mean, they just added an option to make cities not permadie. How do you mean they "dont have the handle"?

[Alienman]

That was quick.

I had just started my ironman campaign :'(

Time to have a codex map and compare our dicks there?

 

[Alienman]

Time to try the seed "RPG Codex".

Here it is:

RPG Codex didn't fit, so it had to be RPGCodex.

That's not so bad, considering

Yeah, it's great fun if you take a caravan mission to the nearest town and it takes you around the entire map for multiple days because the people living there are too stupid to build a 1km dirt road.

theyd be stupid enough to pay u the full trip (full road mileage) for a courier job
pros n cons men

protip gear for mercs
high initiative: warhammer - strip armor first for rest of company
lower initiative: high damage weapons

What is this "high initiative" you speak of? Real men always move after their enemies to make things more fair :D

Yes, but your higher initiative merc still move first because he cannot wait a second time.

What about actual 'destroy city' mechanics?
Did they change it or they still can be easily destroyed when player look at other part of the map?

Hate to break it to you gentlemen, but it doesn't seem like the game supports custom seeds.

I've used a different text, and the map is exactly the same, including town names.

Okay, now I've used another and the map is different. I think I'm going insane.

EDIT: And using the first one (my name, I'm that original) gives me the same map than using RPGCodex. Something is on for sure...

EDIT2: Okay last one I swear. The game says that you can see your map's seed if you press ESC, but either I'm blind or it's not there. So either my game is bugged, Avast is playing merry hell with BB (they added a warning about it) or they fucked up something in the update.

This meltdown would have been funnier with seperate posts

It's not a meltdown! I don't think so at least...

Try it, put "Kuattro", "Jimmious" or "ScoobyDo" (the other o doesn't fit). I'm getting the same map that "RPGCodex", the same-looking three starting brothers, and only two sets of enemies in the starting battle (Dagger-flail or Spear-stick) and when I press ESC it doesn't show any seed.

If I use the default seed, everything works as intended.

So as I said, either there's some problem with custom seeds, or Avast is being a cunt.

I am not insane, I swear.

 

[Alienman]

You seem to be correct Kuattro. I made a seed with your nick and got the same map and Brothers. Something is funky.

What I also noticed is that it takes forever for the AI to make their move now. Could be my computer also I guess, just updated Realtek audio drivers.

 

[Jimmious]

Could it be that string-only seeds create the same maps? Maybe numbers are needed?

Do you use Avast? Because apparently the free version is creating all sorts of problems with BB: slowdowns, crashes, saves not loading...

Could it be that string-only seeds create the same maps? Maybe numbers are needed?

I used "Flinston" (again, it's all that fits) and I got a different map, but pressing ESC showed my seed as only "f". I don't really know how hexadecimal works, but I know F is one of the letters used (I think), so maybe they're serious when they say that the seed is an hexadecimal number, yes.

 

[Jimmious]

Well... Yeah that would explain it

 

[Jimmious]

Kuattro hexadecimals contain only ABCDEF from characters. I'm pretty sure if you use different combinations of these along with numbers you will always get different results
