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

At the start archers are great all-purpose and shields are necessary for survival, while two-handers are suicide

advanced tactic

the longer answer is that you can do basically anything in battle brothers if you’re good enough

 

[Reinhardt]

advanced math. 2h = 1 attack, 1h = 2 attacks. with early game m.atk 2 chances to hit that barn wall are better than 1.

Yeah, early game spears and swords are good for the to hit bonus and do decent damage double-gripped.

 

[Old One]

Is it worth doing something like 12 archers, who only switch to melee once melee happens?

I never managed to get an all-archer party going, but a party with mostly archers can be successful.

From discord:

1. Hi everyone! We are Frederic and Andi, and today we have a announcement to make regarding a new venture into the world of Battle Brothers. You may remember that some time ago Overhype Studios asked for alpha testers regarding a secret project related to Battle Brothers – well, this is it: we’re working on a tactical board game set in the world of the game!

   The third round of alpha testing will begin in the coming few weeks, and we’re currently in search of active and motivated playtesters to help us. We’re looking specifically for people who have previous experience with complex board games since there is a level of detail and complexity within it that may not appeal to the casual board gamer. In order to participate, users will need the software “Tabletop Simulator” which is available for purchase on Steam (incidentally, it’s also a really good piece of software to play a wide range of board games as I'm sure many of you board gamers would already know!)

   Another prerequisite is signing a confirmation about confidentiality and the intellectual property rights in regards to this project. We want to ensure we create the best possible game, but also would not like to spoil what’s in store for those who don't get into the playtest or just want the final product. Lastly, playtesters should be more or less fluent in English unless they have a partner to test with who speaks the same language.Ideally, we’re looking for testers who are motivated to actively arrange dates and regularly meet up online with other testers and then provide constructive feedback and information in a dedicated Discord channel we’ll have set up specifically for this.While Overhype Studios is not directly involved in its design and development, we have more than their blessing – the team is advising us to make sure we stay loyal not just to the setting, but to the spirit of the gameplay of Battle Brothers. If you have any interest, or questions, please write directly to me over in Discord. Cheers!

[Alienman]

Fucking hell. Stuff like this should be illegal.

 

[Harthwain]

Well, technically Battle Brothers is like a tactical board game in video game format...

 

[Old One]

Why not just work on Battle Brothers itself?

 

[agris]

They would rather develop a board game than work on the advanced technology of “walls” and “doors” in the BB engine

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Why not just work on Battle Brothers itself?

boardgame is a BIG money maker

while video games crowdfunding has pretty much died out except some major projects from known personalities, you can see boardgame Kickstarter making fat bucks still today

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Some of you guys react like tabletop took a loved one from you.

 

[OSK]

How stereotypically German.

Yes, very """German"""

license ip to another medium, standard squeeze

 

[Alienman]

Can't wait for the BB icecream with the nachzehrer taste.

It's all fun and games until the Dwarf player notes you down in the book of Grudges.

Anyone playing this at this time? Vanilla or Legends.

I want to share some weird ass map. It's not vanilla but latest Legends mod (18.1.1) so it is possible that such maps can spawn there regularly. However in vanilla after creating dozens of maps over the years I never saw anything even remotely similar.

There seems to be two land masses divided by some big water. Cool but i don't think i will play this one.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Can noble civil war -crisis even function on such map?

 

[Modron]

Seems like a trader's dream being able to reach half the cities on the map from any port.

 

[Serus]

Or holy war for that matter.

In BB2, if ever created, i want among other things enemy troops being able to sail. And boarding/abordage action. That would make this map viable for sure. I want tons of other map/strategy related upgrades too. Combat can stay as is. It is almost perfect. Maybe a slightly better character developments, something more juicy for buildfags.

 

[Reinhardt]

i just want more cultures for that equip porn.

What are you, a gnome? This is a game about killing and plundering and being killed.

I've overdosed on this game so much that I'll probably never replay it regularly again, unless a new really juicy DLC appears (and even then).
I would love it if their new sci-fi tactics game is actually a prank, "haha motherfuckers you fell for it- BOOM! Battle Bros 2!". But since it isn't, may it be lucrative enough for a BB2 funding.

Did you overdose Legends too or are vanilla-only guy?
