What is the flavor text for Refugees, anyways? I can guess the general sentiment, but I don't know that I've ever seen it in-game.

"Game dead, devs abandoned" belongs on poo poo like Towns or games that have actually been abandoned and left to rot. Not on a game that's feature complete and out. The AAA and big time indie thing of updates for years and years after release has just loving spoiled some people into literal toddlers.

I've always found it slightly annoying to see a named item in a shop early on when I can't possibly afford it, and then when I can the item is no longer there. Any thoughts from the devs to make these items stay in shops longer?

Ask if they'd consider a similar type of game but with a tighter focus on individuals. I'd love for them to do something like a Warhammer: Inquisitor game where you have 4-6 dudes with a heavy focus on investigations.

I have been fighting the noble war and operation shank a noble has resulted a Very well armored front line. I love it. My most recent battle was less exciting, Two enemy knights both with battle axes rolled up my line, lost 3 men down, two came back. it was a mess.

Ask them if they can add a new battle brother backstory that is female. I don’t mind if it’s super rare but I think it belongs in the game.

The next game should be 'Battle Brothers: 40,000', definitely not a reference to an unpopular franchise setting.

It'll actually be on the 20th as I'm bad at scheduling. It will be a positive interview so I won't be asking about Muslims (???) but I will definitely try to discuss modding and get an answer as to why it's not possible, as well as using some of the other bits you guys have passed over. Feel free to keep it coming!

What? Just make make some female head and bodies. They're already interchangeable sprites. Make a button to swap pronouns at the barber, where you can already change every other aspect of a character's appearance besides their stats and background. No one cares if the rat faced buck toothed man covered in tattoos comes out of the barber a clean cut muscle man with a Herculean jawline, so it's not like a sex change matters either.

They would have to rewrite a whole lot of events and other stuff. I assume right now they're all just text so they would essentially go over and write gender variables into all of them. e: This could be automated to some extent of course, and either way it's not like it's an insurmountable challenge, but it would take some work.

Make an event where it turns out one of your bros is a trans man, and when you somehow find out they're genetically female they're like "so what, I'm as much a man as you are" and then you don't have to change the pronouns in every event because they continue to go by he/him. Bonus points because some bigot's head would explode when this event happened to their favourite bro 200 days into a campaign and then they would leave a negative Steam review saying the devs ruined the game with SJW propaganda.

Because it’d be cool and good and they could make a lot of funny events for it. Also they’d make their game more approachable to women. I can’t be the only one who names a dude after myself and has fun that way?

You should ask if there are any plans to add modding support now that the game has proved that is more popular than they expected

I'm not against the idea at all personally, (in fact I think it would be good to add women to the game) but at this point in the game's lifecycle I highly doubt they're going to bother, and it's just something we'll need to rely on modders to add. Since as Wizard Styles said, they'll need to make a bunch of changes to the game to allow it to happen. Not to mention the fact that they've already squeezed out most of the money they're likely ever going to make on the game, so they probably won't consider the time spent on it to be a worthwhile investment, compared to working on their other projects. (But, like everything else that's being said in this discussion, it's only speculation and therefore could be completely wrong - hopefully that's the case, since a bit of diversity would be good!)

Well, day 45 with levels 6 and below, only a bit of chain on 3 of my guys, this isn’t going to end well, eh? Fought better armored bandits and lost 2 including my original crossbow bro, salvaged gently caress all for armor except helmets with not great fatigue and sight penalties. I guess with 12k gold I oughta start spending (no markets in my part of the world sell anything worth a drat)?

Serious questions: What are their future plans? If they are making more games in the future, will they be moddable? Also: vyelkin posted:Make an event where it turns out one of your bros is a trans man, and when you somehow find out they're genetically female they're like "so what, I'm as much a man as you are" and then you don't have to change the pronouns in every event because they continue to go by he/him.

To give you a serious answer: as I understand it, there's a mod that just adds in lady sprites. That's it. That's the bare minimum of what these devs need to do to add ladies to their game. They could add some bells and whistles, but that's all they need to do. At this point, the only reason they haven't done so is cowardice, and I am going to keep banging this drum because god drat it, ladies deserve to get their faces eaten off by nachzehrers too.

The bare minimum they'd have to do is more like: Add a gender variable to all bros. Add specific sounds, faces and other cosmetic options based on gender. Go over existing events, add variable pronouns etc., probably check if some shouldn't require the mercenary in question to be male. Write some new events for female mercs. Again, I'm not saying this isn't worth doing or would take ages, but there is some work involved here. Really, the main thing I think you can fault them for is not future-proofing that poo poo during development to make adding Battle Sisters later on less of a pain in the rear end.
