In order to introduce you to the Anatomists and the Oathtakers in style, we’ve collaborated with an artist, Yuri Gamberoni, to create the very first Battle Brothers comic featuring both new playable origins. Read it by clicking the cover below!

DLC downloaded

BIG FONT mod installed

YEP, it's BANAL BROTHERS time

There is really a "big font" mod for battle brothers? I'm blind as a bat, i just use the highest in-game size option.

Just shout at your screen louder to hear the text better...

Yeah, i found it. Thank you for mentioning it, i never looked for one, silly me. I have really bad sight, always had and it doesn't get any better with age. The problem is some games have very small fonts and no options to make them bigger. It is almost never an issue with very old games though.

It is almost never an issue with very old games though.

Very old games probably run in lower resolution, which makes text (and everything else) appear bigger.

ok im gonna say it

oathkeepers > anatomists

ok im gonna say it

oathkeepers > anatomists

In term of early gameplay i certainly agree. Those starting anatomist have mediocre starts and with no confident morale they are overall very weak. Supposedly they get better in mid/late game though. Can't say now if it's true or not. Early you deal with their weaknesses but their strength doesn't do much yet. How far have you played with them?

They're less OP than I thought they would be though. Was hoping for 2 lone wolves but got 2 adventurous nobles.

Younger dude is basically Viper with worse stats(as far as I can remember) and slightly better armor. The older one was clearly intended to be sergeant but he comes with the old trait and no stars on health and fat so those are really subpar for the role.

I saw a post on steam forums saying another crusader asks to join your company later on. Played quite a bit yesterday and he didn't show up. Can anyone confirm this?

He can be a decent bannerman even without those stars. But not a great one. I wouldn't go as far to call him "subpar" though. I'd keep him in a company unless a better one was found by accident. I wouldn't be looking actively for another bannerman.
Or you can reroll the start until you get some good traits like iron lungs or +10s and such. That would help with poor starting fat or health.

I gave ironmeme a try and played for a while in the early game. The money they have is good even at Low funds but opener feels tediously reliant on shop rng and yeah just no morale sucks ass. I got bored of them after a bit and went to play with the game files to check the potions and was quite dissapointed.

Some of the legendary ones do cool shit and there are a few neat non leggo ones too but my honest to god take is that literally none of the potions is as interesting as for example the Viper trait so I'm not sure if I have the motivation to play a crippled no morale campaign for the sake of their potions. Especially since most of them seem to have like "tank synergy" for lack of a better world.

Atm to me Anatomists just feel like a challenge run

 

[hivemind]

basically they feel like davkul -

the sacrifice management is more tedious than killing leggos i guess but overall the aesthetics are better imo

Don't max speed chase anything early game. I mean it.
Be careful when your vision range is low on main map (mostly in forests). Consider not going there very early.
In addition you might want to install the mod that pauses automatically when enemy appears.
Also, as long as your not surrounded in battle, You can run from almost anything in this game. So don't get ambushed by stronger enemies. It isn't that hard.

Don't waste your breath, hive has 10 times your playing time in BB but will never learn...

Maybe. However ten times more would be quite an accomplishments considering my steam shows almost 800 hours iirc. I did play some hours in ea on a plundered copy* too. If he'd - literally - played almost 8000 hours (!) that would be... impressive but also a bit excessive.

*Hey! I liked it very much - obviously - and soon later bought it and later also the dlcs. Without being able to copy it i'd probably buy it too - but a big sale much later. Everybody would loose, me AND the devs. Which is another argument that maritime theft is good if used with good intentions.

Eh, there is nothing bad in spending a crazy amount of time to play a game. What is bad is spending a crazy amount of time to play a game you absolutely hate.

I reverted the game version, and tried legends and it's pretty fun, the Legendary difficulty with bandit thugs having overwhelm and shit is kinda tight

Don't waste your breath, hive has 10 times your playing time in BB but will never learn...

I NEEEEED to zoom zoom across the map


1) I will never run from a battle
2) I will never play on anything less than 4x speed
3) I will never install the pause mod because i am lazy
4) I will seethe and complain

simple as

where the fuck is the day 1 anatomist confidence fix

okay, I might be retarded and just missing it, but I legit can't tell how the fuck they disable the confident flag, there is nothing in the scenario file itself that would do it

 

[hivemind]

ok nwm I found it

I admire people with principles. However, yours are against the principles of BB ironman. You want to eat a hamburger and at the same time remain 100% vegetarian. Can't be done, sorry.

I've seen anatomist recruits for other companies, but are oathtakers exclusive for that one background?

 

[hivemind]

no they are just another background in pool, like gladiators for example
