Thinking of trying this out finally. I did only find garbage when looking for new rpg's recently.

What's the go to version to get into this?

Vanilla + DLCs.

Check for up to date QoL mods even for your first run.
On nexusmods

Newer version of faster comes to mind
Turn it in or something allows to turn quest on any city of the right faction, saves you a couple of days (crossing the map back and forth) for some missions

Don't know if anyone mentioned yet, but there is a new nexus mod manager (probably still in alpha or beta) with native support for linux.

https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/NexusMods.App/releases

I didn't try it yet though... and probably not going to do it any time soon.

Ironman or not is the bigger question. For the first game I'd say playing with saves but if someone liked the game and wants to replay it - ironman is the way to go. The authors wanted the game to be played IM afaik.

This is a game you shouldn't really mod. The devs are balance freaks(of the good sort, not soyer-esque) and any random mod adding shit breaks the perfectly balanced and challenged mix the germoids implemented patch after patch. It is one of the things which make this game a masterpiece.

Only mods I would consider would be ones about aesthetics, but no competent 2d illustrator seems to have ever taken interest in it - point taken most of the art assets in mods like legends stick out like a sore thumb in the middle of the nicely drawn vanilla assets.

On the subject, there were talks a while ago about the devs releasing another surprise free update to this in order to promote their new game. Is that still in the cards? Or was it just a rumor? Saw nothing new about it despite all the new promotional material for the new game.

I strongly disagree, the only way te replay the game is with different mods.

Legends is still alive and kicking and there is some new game changer mods compatible, i didn't check recently but everything is available from the Legends discord channel.

The game is way better with Legends and some QoL mods.

Vanilla versus Legends is the exact same as vanilla ToEE and ToEE + Temple+

I haven't modded Battle Brothers but I didn't have any game-breaking bugs in vanilla or any of the DLCs I bought. I played ToEe on release but because of bugs could not actually play the whole game until Temple+ and Co8's work was released.

Dude, if the mods for BB are good enough for you to make that comparison, I will check them out.

The authors believe this is a roguelike, they are insane.

If the turns are too slow for you grab the faster gameplay mod https://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/48

Just put the mod zip file in the game data folder.

I went into this game IM and never looked back. Vanilla+DLCs is the way to go, maybe the faster turn resolve mod. But thats it.
