Reminds me of the time I stumbled on the cult meeting event. "Hah! They don't even have armor, I'm gunna wipe the floor with these guys" 10 minutes later : " OH GOD, OH FUCK NO, PLEASE GOD NO"
Same exact thing happened to me. Walked up to some Cultists on the road, made the mistake of asking what's up instead of just ignoring them. Mob of Cultists in rags wiped my team. Utter shock I felt
No, dogs are fast and decently accurate. And alps have no hp or armor to chew through and they take the sleep debuff instead of your polearm experts. And who fights alps on hills? This was set up deliberately.
Spamming dogs and two handed weapons is also utterly hilarious. These unholy horrors beyond human comprehension really don't like men's best friend... and being smashed by a great hammer.
@@grey11aldering Whips are good to get them to teleport, you want to get em in a favourable position to be then cut down with a heavy hitting two handed weapon.
@@justmeowth9697 very good beginner strategy, since early game Alp fights usually don't bring more than 3, so netting them is the way to go. It gets a bit more annoying when the game starts spawning 8+ for you to fight... mostly because you run out of nets at some point.
The video and editing are great. Alps, like most BB enemies, aren't too bad once you know how to prepare for them. Why bring ranged weapons, when they have 0% chance to hit? Bring A spear. Why have a shield on a guy? Leave it behind, so he gets the damage bonus. Bring the standard so you can wake everyone up, instead of doing it one at a time. Still, I know Alps frustrate players, and the video made me laugh.
@@brusombear3823 I don't think they could originally, but somewhere along the line it was added. Technically, I think it's part of the "rally the troops" perk, so anyone COULD have it, but typically only the standard bearer. Also, resolve it important. I think the test to resist falling asleep is based on character resolve, and you take less damage from Alps the higher your resolve is, so the standard bearer can help with that, too.
I always bring nets for those guys sense they won't teleport after you hit them and just focus on one at a time and keep your troops close to each other sense they always teleport after getting hit near your troops
@@vzbdish Not really, not outside of the early game at least. They are a lot more cost effective, but the hits to morale, enabling enemy perks and taking over hexes you would rather your actual bros be in has their small damage and adjacency bonus considerably less useful than nets
Reach weapons like polearms, pikes, warforks, and a brother or two with rally the troops does help a lot when going to battle with enemies with resolve based mechanics. Having high resolve on your brothers is mandatory when fighting foes like Geists, Hexen, and Alps. Alps can put your brothers to sleep, Geists will make your brothers panic and flee, and Hexen will mind control your brothers to kill your own squad. High resolve does drop the chances of being affected by these enemies, but it doesn't grant immunity. Also bring nets when fighting Alps to keep them in place and so they don't teleport.
Net one and get away from it... Then net another, until all are netted they don't break out, then hit one in a net. Every time they are hit 2 things happen. They randomly swap location with another alp (they can roll on themselves and stay still) then move to a tile within 2 tiles of their new location (unless their new location is in a net) the one you hit then takes the damage (if killed the net breaks at their new location) Other things to remember, their sleep and nightmare attacks have a range of 2 and nightmare ignores armour..... So fight them naked or in lighter armour cus they can spawn with dire wolves.
never fight Alps or ghosts without a Bannerman and get your acher something new to wear, the first goblin or brigand marksman you'll encounter wil kill him first turn
Alps are easy to deal with as long as you have a bannerman with a sergeant perk (basically they can’t put you asleep), dogs make the fight almost trivial. The real pains in the ass in BB are necrosavants, orcs warboss and southern armies.
@@jojomama3028 I'm 387 hours in and can finally say that i've beaten everything in the game. The learning curve is steep but rewarding. I just started a campaign with some mods, the modding community is very nice on Nexus
Rally the troops wakes everyone up in it's range. contrary to expectation, handgonnes don't do the same... Whips and warscythes are great. Always have at least 3 brothers in a clump, so they can wake each other up if needed. Alps target the bros on the edges, so you can retire a bro inside your blob formation relatively safely if they get too damaged. Have colossus on everyone. Figthing alps very early on - bring dogs and nets (or just don't).
The trick is to remember theyll always be within 2 tiles of your bros, and that since its night ranged weapons wont really hit. Giving everybody pitchforks or pikes is the way to go, unless you can pull off getting close with a high dmg 2h like Zwei. Stay bunched up in one big group or in 2-3 smaller groups and rotate after you hit with your long reach weapon so everybody can get a stab off.
I watched this video before my first Alp encounter so I was terrified when I fought them. I had the militia start so I handily outnumbered them and my veterans just tore them up with polearms. Rally also automatically wakes people in the area.
This is why I rage quit the game. The biggest problem is the game gets the player surrounded and they can't even flee or even change gear when reloading. Even Xcom is more forgiving then this.
This fight only can be won with gayest brother with spear, no armor no shield just spear and go as team of 3 or 4 of each persue while splitting your army
My first encounter with this was against 12. Had 2 polearms but 10 archer bros. Formed square and shot like crazy but nightime accuracy not good. Each bro shot like 15 arrows each but we made it through the night.
As soon as i encountered alps i knew how to deal with then, i noticed theyd always teleport 2 tiles away from your bros, so id just equiped everyone with polearms, doesnt matter what they are build wise because blocking doesnt do shit, and ranged is just kinda useless in this fight till they run If you do this, you wont have to move very much and you can end up grouping in a round circle formation so they then only teleport in the middle of the circle Ive only done the formation once so i couldnt tell ya how but its possible
Pelearms and poleaxes are ok, but the definitive way to kill them its: Net them. Start whipping them to get free xp without being attacked. Their sleep thing is only usable to 2 tiles away from the Alp, but a guy with a whip can attack 3 tiles away making this fight, a meme. Funny to see how they get killed without taking your mens any injuries/damages/wounds/deaths by just whipping them until death.
@@Frendlu huh i always thought that theyd move once you hit them, even if you net them so i just wouldnt care about netting then because then it just makes it hard to get to them
Alps is usually just like a fun festival, everybody is naked and close together playing tag with other even more pale and naked 'guys'. Armour will only slow you down and shield are just a hindrance Although I've heard that it's not necessary to undress anymore while fighting them, I wonder what changed
Got fked by djinni in the box event while carrying a package. Had to fight 20 ancient aciliaries and 2 necrosavants with early game peasant militia. No surprise that I got fked.
I got Ambushed by them once, now I know if you are unsure of an outcome fleeing is always an option specially against these sleepy fuckers RIP Ollaf Skull splitter, 13 battles 22 kills, mangled by (r*ped while sleeping) you will be missed
Get a banner man with high resolve, monk is good for early banner man. I think rally can wake up your man. Your archers or crossbow won't do nothing coz Alps battles are mostly at night. Nets can help you. Don't bring your shields, don't chase them far from your teammates. If you can't fight avoid them till the mid game.
I don't care what anyone says, the coding and displays are wrong in this game. I just had fight, not ambushed. It said there were 8 enemies in this group on the map. Fight loads, there are 17 enemies... Okay, game is busted, but let me hit retreat, trying not to save scum. 2 out of my 15 guys retreat directly towards the enemy and get killed. The game is a joke.
My guy struggling with alps will have nightmares with necrosavants. Those fuckers infuriated me so much. Good thing that the solution for both problems is the same: Bloody nets. Net 'em and chop 'em up.
@@Veldazandtea Yes, and you have 12-16 characters plus dogs, as well as "rally the troops" that wakes everyone up in a 6tile radius. Alps are the easiest fight in the game.

Rally, dogs, polearms in tight formation make battles vs alps so easy that I'm too lazy to spend nets
