Thanks for an informative and non fake-enthusiastic playlist. It's rare to find this kind of content on youtube.
Can't lose mood if everyone dies B)
This reminds me an awful lot of Mount and Blade Warband and its mod "Prophesy of Pendor" (the crisis mechanic specifically). Have you ever tried those? They seem right up your alley:
- hardly any time spent grinding money unless you want to (buying anything is expensive as shit, trading is lucrative, though),
- more time spent fighting bad guys (again, unless you want to),
- lots of epic loot (you might want to read up on some things like Qualis Gems beforehand, though),
- an overarching story that is partially emergent, partially scripted
- actually fairly decent AI battles once you get to fight proper faction parties (as opposed to brigands / most quest enemies)
- many more factions, especially if you include all the small subfactions that are mainly running around pissing off the real factions, until they spawn a crisis event and with it at least one doomstack, which happens regularly.
The crisis armies especially are really fun to take down imho, because they ARE going to outnumber your guys, they WILL have units at least as strong as yours (not all of them, though, since they are padded with trash units) and they are usually hostile to every faction, or close enough, so the lords that usually dick around doing nothing actually come to be helpful. The first of those crisis armies also spawns really early on, when you have 20 guys (and they spawn with 500), and you can see them as they start laying waste to some city or somesuch. And then the next one spawns, and then the next one, and maybe at the time the fourth one spawns the first one might have been worn down enough to be taken down, not by your party, but by an AI lord.
The whole world map, while really small realistically speaking, still feels way more believable and like an actual world with shit going down in it as opposed to a stage for you to feel great in.
Only thing that might push you away from them that I can see are the real-time battles that can get pretty messy (the mod's AI is a good help and formidable enemy, though) and are also first-person, as well as the sheer length of a whole campaign.
yea i played this and i think of it as RTS mount and blade
This is basically mount and blade in every way that matters. Similar strategies too. I usually start a vanilla warband run by going north to kill raiders until I can loot mail for my named/main characters. Throwing peasants into the meat grinder to get myself a horse and armor.
Regarding payment. They seem to be paid from top left to bottom right in the formation order. Perhaps a small way of microing this if you know you're going to go in the red is to put the greedy ones first and the loyal men last.
I'm VERY late to the party here but if what you say is true then that'll be very helpful to me because I like to dip into the red every now and then if I know I'll get a good payday really soon.
@@gorrazin7983 Also works for food.
I Had a great group of ten, I took a mission to hunt some monsters. I found them they ate my entire group. Lol back to the drawing board.
Just lost my company a minute ago, ate by a horde of giant spiders. I feel your pain man.
@@xiaoqiuzheng3216 did you meet the hexen? they are great fun if you don't know what you're doing.
super thorough, with clear and well thought out information.
this good
watched your videos for Darkest Dungeon back in the day and it was the best content for it. Guess how happy I was (am) that when i was looking for battle brother tipps to find you again.
I lock the camera when I'm chasing an enemy sometimes. I find it just makes it slightly easier to keep them on the screen since occasionally I have to click now and then to catch them. That said, I wouldn't be very sad if they took that option out of the game.
I am pretty confused as to why they'd have the option to toggle tracks. It's not like there are ever so many parties on the screen at once that you'd be cluttered with tracks.
Thanks for these guides. I've been looking for a kind of Tactics Ogre Ish game
I love your videos man~ I don't even play this game but I watched your darkest dungeon series for a year intending to never buy it and just watch and finally got the game today because of your insane analysis making it seem like a can't miss. Hoping this comes out for mac someday, but I'll keep watching regardless1
Thank very much, Filthy. You opened up my understanding of a newly beloved game. Making it much more easy to enjoy my time playing it!
I love your videos man. This game is hard as steel balls but you help get me through. I've had like, 7 companies fail so far. Just glad none of these failed companies have to end up on my real life tax records xD
Thanks a lot for these videos! i started out with Battle Brothers yesterday and this helps me a lot ... thanks again :)
I love you.
Nice guides, man! Just bought the game and you're helping me tons.
Love the youtube. Thanks for sharing the addiction!
Let's have another round tonight! (Improves the mood)
how often do missions/quests refresh in a town?
Excellent!
Attacking a unit is instant hostility. Only good if you are doing a Barbarian Campaign and you already have multiple hostile factions
9000 crowns? thats not the beginning
Sed this map is ??
And the 20 men didnt give that away for you?
Please redo this video for the legends mod AS IF the legends mod were a completely different game.
Please redo your question AS IF you were a sentient toaster and toasters played battle brothers COMPLETEY differently.
It was just a suggestion. But I really appreciate the snarky response. It was funny. Especially because my statement was not a question. It was a request for more content from you.
665 like +1 from Diche BAch = Tzeentch be Praised :)
you should learn something like Steady Hand perk to STOP THIS CHAOTIC MOUSE MOVING ON THE SCREEN! just try to move mouse to something, wait for the popup window open, wait few seconds TO LET YOUR VIEWERS TO READ WHAT IS IN THIS POPUP WINDOW and only than move mouse somewhere else.
out of date. Max group is 25 and in battle is 16 with 2 types of start.
Depends on your starting scenario and/or mods
Are you sure this game is fun to play?
It's a lot of fun! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and have really enjoyed it.
@@adavis5926 Good to hear it. I expected a frustrating gameplay instead of fun.
@@taomahNEGEV It is definately testing your pain threshold. However you can tweak some settings to make it mire forgiving and allow saves
Too much water and needless speech. Could be alot shorter video. But not bad all in all
