I have hundreds of hours on Battle Brothers across multiple platforms and I'm still watching this. This is how you know you're watching some great content. Keep it up 🙂!
Haha, that's awesome :D I am so glad you are finding the guides to be helpful! This game is so fantastic but it is brutal up front haha ;) I hop you have fun with it!
Idk, chief, even on the most basicest of difficulties I just can't seem to get past the initial week: whether it's bad luck, the wrong encounter I can't flee from or whatever else, I get only two or three fights before the death spiral kicks in.
It is a brutal game. Some doods will die. I recommend getting more bros quickly and sticking to the lowest level contracts to level up. Even try for caravan escort quests as you don't have to fight a lot of the time in those and can get good money to buy gear and more bros. Save often and just abandon fights that look hopeless until you are getting better at the game. It can be done! It is just a brutal game haha
@@DrIncompetent I think my biggest hurdle so far has been understanding the money curve to gauge when to take a contract, when to sell equipment, to recruit troops and how many
I am fine with a brutal game, not with one in which I don't understand what I do wrong and why xD I've tried all manners of different approaches and the result was always the same: had to restart the campaign by the end of week 1
@@talscorner3696 a few things I've gleaned in my nearly 1000 hours playing BB to make it past week 1: A. Only fight humanoids (Brigand Thugs are the easiest) and gather their equipment for use or sale. Beasts will shred you, avoid them if at all possible. B. Equip your brothers with spears/swords (for added accuracy) and shields. C. Only take 1 skull contracts in towns. I avoid caravan missions early because you're locked into the caravan and can't avoid fights. Focus on contracts that are "fetch" quests, "return my coin/crystal skull/book/staff etc." these will typically have you fighting brigands. D. Avoid buying expensive items in towns. I typically only buy food and tools in towns when I absolutely have to or possibly a damaged weapon (spears/swords) and repair it if I am lacking a weapon to equip for battle. E. Spend some money on buying additional brothers. In the early game I try to find brothers w/ stars in Melee Attack/Melee Defense/Fatigue or Health and develop them in leveling and give them the best equipment. I find Farmers and Thieves to be good early recruits. Brothers with undesireable stats will be used as fodder/human shields to assist anyway possible. Don't over recruit, 4 to 6 brother in the first week should be plenty. I hope this helps and builds on the good info DrIncompetent shared in his video.
Same bro, i just cant find a way to success in this game, even when things are going well, just a simple barbarian or orc encounter and its over. I eventually went to Wartales. Though game but a lot more forgiving than Battle Brothers. Still, ill give BB another chance
This video is amazing. Has sold me in getting it on Steam and seems like I could play portable with my ROG Ally. I was struggling to decide Switch or Steam. This primer video has explained so much. 👌🏻
I've had this game on my wishlist for the longest time and I'm so tempted to grab it - people have said they sink hundreds of hours in. Do you recommend the DLC or can it be enjoyed vanilla too? Loving this first video, can't wait to binge the series!
You are so welcome! I have actually never heard of those games that you mentioned but I put them on my wishlist on Steam because they look fun haha ;) Thanks for the recommendations!
Do you have any chance of experiencing consistent enjoyment and reaching the endgame without beforehand spending dozens of attempts and hundreds of hours to gain sufficient experience to being able to minmax micromanage every little perk, stat and gear?
You certainly don't have to be perfect and min/max to win at this difficulty level, but you will have to grind a bit to level up, get good gear, and have a full squad. It's not a horrible grind though, just do some lower missions until you feel strong enough to move up!
bro this game every time kicks my but i cant make it to late game I’m gonna watch your videos and hopefully i can make it this time man i did start this game on veteran tho
Haha, it's a complicated and punishing game;) but really, the basics are explained in the first few episodes. The series keeps going just to show more content. It's such a fun game!
This is a fair tutorial for understanding the basic gameplay and mechanics; however, it was easy to pick up on this stuff after the first couple hours of playing. To summarize the entire series for anyone interested: Git Gud!
Haha, you do have to improve for sure! But there is a lot in this so it's a whole guide series. Many players find this game to be quite challenging--including myself haha. Most people looking for help want more than "Get Good" and actually despise when people suggest this with no context as it is condescending and unhelpful. So I try to have my series actually explain how to get better because the game really is more fun when you understand the basics and can win some fights!

Haha, this is such a good game! It's getting brutal... The Orcs have no mercy! haha
FINE! I'll say it... I fall asleep to this.
Haha, awesome ;) I'm glad to help in whatever way I can :) This game is so good!
You are suppose to fall asleep when watching this.
Base
I know right 😂 his voice is super pleasant and calming
Lol me too
You are my favorite tutorial maker. Whenever I see you made a tutorial for a game I am struggling with I am very happy
Haha, that's awesome :D I am so glad you are finding the guides to be helpful! This game is so fantastic but it is brutal up front haha ;) I hop you have fun with it!
As always, I love your use (and abuse) of the words "terrifying" and "hilarious". Great vid, great game :)

Thanks for this video. Always wanted to get into this game that has been collecting dust on the Steam shelf.
You are so welcome! This game is fantastic but can be so brutal haha
one of the best games ever made......
It's awesome! I am having a blast with it!
STAYING TUNED!!!
Yes! We are gonna build up the brothers! haha
It must be hard, trying to help people with a RNG simulator. Respect man.
Haha, the swings can be rough, that's for sure!
found the guy who sucks at the game
This video is amazing. Has sold me in getting it on Steam and seems like I could play portable with my ROG Ally. I was struggling to decide Switch or Steam. This primer video has explained so much. 👌🏻
So glad you found this to be useful! This game is so fun haha ;)
I,m newbie here. You do a really good explaining. Appreciate sir.
Awesome! So glad you are finding this to be helpful and I hope you are enjoying the game! It's a really fun one ^_^
Very informative and helpful, thanks for making this!
You are so welcome! I am glad you have found it helpful :D
Man, I could listen to you do commentary on random BB fights for days
Haha, awesome! There is more hilarity to come as the brothers try to survive... ;D
Great video 🫡
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! This game is too fun :)
uuu nice,i love this game a lot :)
Haha, me too! It's so good :)
Great guide, BUT PLEASE, add time stamp chapters.
Thanks for watching! Good idea!
Thank you dr 🙏
You are so welcome my friend!

I hear the DLCs are great, but I haven't tried them! I have only done vanilla!
Thanks Teach! Any chance you are into space games? Trying to find good tutorials on Star Valor and Transcendence is proving difficult.
You are so welcome! I have actually never heard of those games that you mentioned but I put them on my wishlist on Steam because they look fun haha ;) Thanks for the recommendations!
Thank you, sir!
You are so welcome! I hope you are enjoying the game!
Do you have a video about map seeds?
Isn't a good map vital?
I don't! There are some good ones out there. Good idea!

imo starting on expert is best, better to just get used to it right away.
Haha, a bold choice
90+ hours in and all i feel is bad at this game and rage. Love the game hate myself.
Haha, don't blame yourself! This game is brutally difficult.
Its discounted Wartale, more like a 2D version. i recommend wartale if you haven't played it. its the exact same thing but 3D lol.
Wartales is fun!
bro this game every time kicks my but i cant make it to late game I’m gonna watch your videos and hopefully i can make it this time man i did start this game on veteran tho
Wow, veteran is no joke!
Weebles wobble, but they won't fall down.
Haha, such amazing toys! I remember them well :D
why not use all of the dlc?
I am definitely going to be continuing this series! I'm having a blast with the game and still loving the new things I see!
Probably to not confuse new players who don't have the dlc
Tbh I'm scared to see 20+ h of guides for begginers for a game that has like 3 buttons in it. Well, here we go...
Haha, it's a complicated and punishing game;) but really, the basics are explained in the first few episodes. The series keeps going just to show more content. It's such a fun game!
Weeble wobbles! I'm a bit of boomer myself.
Yes! I loved those toys. Can't fall down! Egg ppl haha
"Now, I need some just basic garbage for these people"
basic garbage lol
Haha, it's like a burlap sack, a straw hat, and a branch for these poor brothers ;D
Why is every guide on this game an hour long i got like 3 free hours when am i gonna play
Haha, it's a wonderful game but very deep and challenging ;D It's so good once you get your team going!
This is a fair tutorial for understanding the basic gameplay and mechanics; however, it was easy to pick up on this stuff after the first couple hours of playing.

Haha, yeah, they are hilarious looking ;)
How incompetent.
