vyelkin posted:I got pretty lucky in my current run and around the time I needed to transition my shieldbros away from using flails I happened to raid a necrosavant lair and get like six khopeshs, which made the transition extremely easy. There’s a point where this becomes my main priority, especially if you can find those groups with like 3-4 dogs padding their numbers. Mercs are a great way to get from mail to better if you can find some of those more manageable groups. Also a good time to use any nets you’ve built up.

You can attack even friendly caravans and merc companies if you press some... button or something... first right? Been thinking picking a fight with the smallest house's forces and doing some raiding might actually be kind of profitable.

I kinda wish they weren't always employed 100% of the time. Let me gank those fuckers after they've just turned in a contract and have a bunch of gold in their pockets, goddammit.

I always like it when the game just randomly picks just the right bro for an event. I took one of the decisive battle contracts during the noble war, was sent to go after some deserters, and went with just trying to intimidate them into going back to the camp.  The game could have picked just about any bro here but it went with Mad Ortwin, the Raider in full Fallen Hero armor wielding a Skull Hammer. Unfortunately, the battle didn't go so well for Ortwin.  It says Gutted by a Billman but what happened is that I went up against a Champion Knight with a unique hammer. Who at some point went after Ortwin, which I didn't expect because there were allied Footmen I relied on as bait closer to him. Sadly, Ortwin lost the hammer duel; his armor was gone in an instant and he died before I could Footwork him out. In the end, that Champion was not only responsible for Ortwin's death but also caused two injuries. At least he dropped the hammer:  It'll do I guess.

He's got a whole playlist dedicated to Battle Brothers. I didn't find his guides super useful, as most of the guides for specific enemy groups are his ridiculous lategame company against lategame challenges, but he does a lot of analysis on perks, backgrounds, etc. that I found helpful once I got a hold of the basics. He does also have a guide for the very early game that was pretty good too.

Jade Stars LP is what got the game on my radar but I don't know if I'm good. Only beaten beginner three times and then moved on to veteran twice. Now I keep getting killed trying to get Poachers origin afloat. I thought barbarians was hard....

So criminals and dissenters are exiled to the desert and become rock assholes. You can kill the rock assholes and distill their essence into grenades (assuming that the grenade is alchemical component in the wallpaper).

Maybe instead of a grenade it's a pokeball that releases a pet Ifrit when you throw it.

So these Ifirits seem like they're meant to be elite nachs, almost, what with the growing up through three stages and needing to deny access to fallen bodies when fighting them.

ShootaBoy posted:So these Ifirits seem like they're meant to be elite nachs, almost, what with the growing up through three stages and needing to deny access to fallen bodies when fighting them. They're similar in some ways, but the ifrits require other living ifrits so you deny them by either killing them at all or making sure they're separated and unable to leave your dudes' zone of control. Sounds like the fights will be a race to kill the larger ifrits before they reach critical mass and start making ifrits faster than you could kill them.

So I just got the spider fire event. I was pretty shocked with the outcome and sped through the follow up prompts because I was so surprised. After checking my roster I saw that I didn't suffer any consequences from the event. I checked the steam forums to see what the heck just happened and apparently I'm not the only one who lacked reading comprehension for that event!

Speaking of seeds and poachers maybe one of you guys can make something out of this, because I sure as hell can't. All the 1 skull missions have been ancient dead, so I've only found 2 fights that I can actually survive: BUBIPFKCJO Hunter starts with Iron Jaw and Iron Lungs, 56 RATK. Poacher 1 with Optimist and 49 RATK. Poacher 2 with Determined and 49 RATK. I'm not sure if starting contracts are in the seed or not so might restart, only on Day 6 but haven't even gotten the Friendly amibition because there's no contracts poachers/newbies with spears can accomplish. EDIT-screwed up Poacher 2, he's determined not optimist Scaramouche fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Feb 9, 2020 |

(I’m also assuming you’re playing on veteran and not playing Ironman) Give us some more details and we can give you advice.

I wouldn't consider that fight a good bet until like the tail end of the first crisis on average. Now you have me worried I'm loving up the early game somehow.

I mean; as an experienced player I’m probably advancing more efficiently; but certainly by day 80 I’d be actively going after camps with the numbers described. If you have 12 guys; and they’re at least level 9-10, I’d go for it.
