That's why the ending of the Torsquad saga was so.. abrupt. AA realized he had forgotten to actually introduce the Big Bad- Bonedoge, Lord of Bonedogs. (Because "Doge" was also a title for Italian nobility, you see?)
Should try it on the bare bottom start where you're in the desert alone with no clothes, arms, legs, or food, surrounded by slavers and man eating bugs. Honestly incredibly rewarding to make it past that start.
The whole game FEELS like a fever dream XD. Seriously though, I'd highly recommend it. The learning curve is steep and initial time investment fairly hihg but once you get how things works and stuff starts clicking it becomes a blast. I currently have a mod for extra character capacity so I can run my 3 bases simultaneously while also keeping a solid scout group out exploring, having to handle logistics like shipping characters and food and iron from base to base as needed has added a lot of extra layers to the game for me.
@@BertoxolusThePuzzled I started this game not knowing what the hell to do lol, I started as the guy with the holy sword. I remember literally playing for 10 hours being like "wtf is this game??" just getting beaten by starving bandits and getting captured by slavers... I didn't even know you could hire mercs or recruit people at bars lol. Now I'm at 473 hours. This game is a masterpiece, despite the initial learning curve...
First thing I thought when I started watching the video. I should do a Solo human named "Doge Whisperer" (to pick dogs up and put them in beds) and command an army of doge
@@MrRhoidRage Tries to use a deep voice, uses the same music, same attempts at edits, even the joke structures the same but done far more poorly. Entirely the same thing without the British identity.
Playthrough idea: The Beastmaster. Start off as Man and his Dog. Travel to Eyesocket and recruit Ray, the mute Hive Soldier who can't initiate any dialogue. Travel to Nomad camp in Shem. Purchase as many dogs as possible. Once sufficient dogs are acquired, fire the man. Now Ray, who can't talk to shopkeepers, controls an army of bonedogs (and/or whatever other animals). BEASTMASTER.
I have a question: how did you make your dog eat a corpse? In my 1500 hours on Kenshi I have never managed to achieve that. Best they do is grab a loose limb. Also a tip which I use for training my bonedogs: send them to Fog Islands and let them roam freely. Dead Hivers don't eat animals, only use blunt weapons, so no risk of bleeding out even when they knock the dogs out, and they lose limbs easily, so there's a constant supply of arms and legs to chew on. A pack of bonedogs that have been leveled up from the pup stage in Fog Islands is truly a terrifying force once they emerge as adults or elders. They can tear whole city's population apart. Yes, it is a viable strategy to play, albeit a bit monotonous.
I have finally found the answer. I use a mod called feed them to the dogs and more dogs ( or any mod that allows dogs to eat corpses) . This allows the dog to eat the corpse of the person but you need to have limb dismemberment on frequent or they won’t come off and it only has a chance to fall off.
Got myself really worked up there. I love animals, I want all pets that humans owned to be treated with dignity and kindness, but this coombrained goblin is why we can't have that.
What a gripping story of the rise of a simple scavenger in the Kenshi world. Marvellous narration and a tribute to the lesser seen creatures of the world that simultaneously deserve our ire, respect and fear. 10/10 would watch again.
Despite the limitations of playing this character you seem to be calm about it and relaxed enough to divert your attention to things like podcasts. He is a serene doge, if you will.
Play as a beastmaster hermit, just keep one animal owner that stays in his own camp and trades with who comes by. Once the base is made and u have like 5 dogs it starts getting more fun
Interesting. This almost makes me want a modder to step up to the plate and make a modular/customizable style "Let Player Controlled Animals Do Human Actions" mod. Something that would give this bonedog a workable inventory, potentially the ability to talk to npcs and some various other things that you could totally make role-playing scenarios out of.
I think my favorite thing about Bone Dogs is: "Playing: 'Limbs." when I punch someone's leg clean off. And then Bone Dog 2: "Limb jealousy." Adorable. ♥
@@mihajlodjordjevic3243 it's not vanilla if it's beak things, one of the beauty of challenge is for it to be vanilla as much as possible without any mods that helping player, otherwise it is not a challenge anymore
You make such amazing concepts and execute them better than anyone. I'm so happy to have found you cause kenshi has always lacked such perfect content like this
"But they won't try to devour me alive if they beat me." Flashback to yesterday when my dog got taken down on it's own and the message "Hungry bandits is butchering your dog for meat." shows up.
Ive actually done this before and here are some tips, you can go into the kenshi mod tool and change the age and hunger of the dog so you wont be constantly malnourished. you can also change the age so you could become a elder with 10X stat multiplier and 10X size, if ya want to keep that balanced you could increase it by .10 every 10 days or howver you want to do it
I would love to see a longer version of this challenge. Maybe a mod that lets you recruit other dogs and sleep, but keeps the rest of the limits so no trading, doors, or bandage. I think the limiting factor for your pack would be hunger, depending on the hunger rate. Sure you would be strong, but a big pack would need regular kills!
This gives me an idea for a mod. Alpha bonedog: just a regular bonedog but it can interact with the world. Have one or two of them in your group so you can recruit more bonedogs or pay taxes.
I found your channel through rim content and then found kenshi through your channel, I been playing countless hours of it now. thanks a lot amphibiousambiguian.
You can get into buildings. It takes a little fiddling holding down move while spinning your mouse cursor on the corner of a door, but eventually your momentum carries you into the building. Once that happens, it shows you the interior, and you can move normally.
Maybe I just think most animals are cute, but the Bonedog is quite cute Especially the way it runs around. And I’d bet that shaggy fur would look really pretty if it was washed
You can buy them from the nomads in shem, or the beast traders that visit your outpost Wait, I just understood what you said, you could make a custom start in the FCS
Just buy it from nomads normally then dismiss your one guy from party. You can get easy money looting down pack beast in desert and amass 30 bone dog in less than 7 days
"Our stats are nothing to begin with. We're just starving, that's all that we have - we're nothing and we're starving." Wait.. I thought that one guy said that it's NOT like being a white male straight out of college..?
I'd love to see more of the bonedog experience at some point. Primarily the pup's ability to handle some of the more difficult bosses, be it solo or one hundred of them.
You know what terrifies me more then you uploading knowing i need to go to bed. But then i check my phone one last time for message before i nod off and you know what. Its another video this happens like clock work, let me SLEEP DAMN IT. I cannot stop watching these amazing videos; they mess up my sleeping schedule.
Not sure if there's a way to make them playable, but blood spiders (you know, those weird creepy things that will absolutely murder you in the swamp) are also perfectly capable of devouring a person alive which I assume means you could do the same thing with them.
I toyed with a pseudo bonedog only playthrough when my main guy was enslaved, and while fun it does require some mods to be even a little bit viable. You absolutely need the mod that allows you to eat corpses, and the bonedog speed mod is also nice, as even a high athletics level means you can't outrun most enemies in the game in vanilla. Maybe a bit unbalanced, but it speeds every bonedog so I think it evens out, and its a single player game and I do what I want. The general strategy of staying in bast is sound, a free source of limbs is necessary for food; but one thing AA didn't touch on much is that toughness training is absolutely mandatory. You can strategically taking hits without getting knocked out to train. Toughness increases your KO threshold and decreases the amount if damage and your wound degeneration rate. This is crucial, as you CANNOT get knocked out, not only can predatory animals eat you, but other humans can butcher you almost instantly, and as you also have no ability to use bandages, healing is agonizingly slow. You have to be like a real life predator, carefully picking your battles with minimum risk and maximum reward, attacking isolated targets or heavily micromanaging combat to avoid getting hit when necessary, which is shockingly doable with bonedog speed, but still difficult. Stealth is actually really good as well, since theres no equipment stealth malus for dogs, you can essentially become an ambush predator very quickly I think fishman island and the fogmen would also be viable training locations, as fish and fog men dont appear to want to eat dogs, but I haven't exhaustively tested that, and getting to fish man Island involves going through a lot of beak things, which you should never ever ever engage if you can possibly avoid it. They are always faster than you, and they always travel I packs, avoid avoid avoid. He's right though, this playthrough requires a titanic amount of patience but the rewards are worth it; with high levels, the elder multiplier gets absolutely bananas, and you essentially become a little doggy cruise missile, vaporizing entire mid game groups single handedly. Very rewarding, would recommend if youre trying to freshen up your play style
