Can armour only have one attachment, or can it only have one of each type? Like I would assume it can't have two cloaks, but can it have a cloak and shoulder pads?

Only time I've gone through and edited stat numbers though I was just trying to figure out how it was done. Turns out all level up stats are genned at creation! Starting with a few extra Iron Lung bros and a Quick Archer just helps the early game go faster.

I don't know if it is due to the mechanics of the DLC fights or the fact that I've lucked into a bunch of recruits with stars in both m.atk and r.atk, but I am having a lot of success with a backline mostly filled with quickhands pole and xbow users. I usually go archer heavy for the backline.

I usually go archer heavy for the backline. Polearms are pretty good against unholds (so that you can try and have only one person swipable at a time while still pumping out the damage), but I don't really see any particular reason they'd be unusually good against spiders/hexen/alps/schrats. I guess crossbows help with hexen pretty good, but i would not be excited about getting a crossbro charmed. the actual winning unhold-killer strategy though, other than just being lategame and no-selling their dps via heavy armor and battleforged, is Fearsome; their hp pool is obnoxiously large, but their morale isn't particularly good i'm just not sure it's a good enough perk with the undead and kraken and schrats and stuff lurking around i still put it on my bow-archers though Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Dec 4, 2018 |

As a note the patch just now? Has broken all seeds. Edit: MAFQJEMLHA Spear bro is Loyal and Iron Lungs Axe bro is Athletic and Iron Lungs Crossbow bro has bad stats and is Cocky and Deathwish (dammit) Also from a quick look the map looks good, I really want to try out that Athletic + Iron Lungs guy especially given he starts with 59 ** Melee.

As much as I like my starting companions, I actually prioritize map over them (because I'm willing to leave them dead instead of alt-f4ing). Especially now that we can dredge semi-affordably for iron lungs on good backgrounds.

I like the new weapons a lot. They are fun and useful. I also like the new retreat in theory, but in practice im not so sure. I didn't like taking injuries on all bros, since that is financially devastating, but I also don't like not being able to guarantee my bros all escape, especially since running from goblin wolves or men with dogs isn't going to work, meaning I can't escape a wipe or severe losses. I also don't like hexens. I don't know how to kill them since they put hexes out every turn and my guys die if I hit them. There's also no way to counter them since you can't really do anything when bros are switching sides every turn. I aslo don't like Schrats since they have forever health and defense and there's nothing you can do to avoid tons of damage. I like the spiders, alps, and unholds though, they are all fun and cool.

I suspect the best way to fight Hexen is to put all your low resolve dudes in the reserves, but when they're part of a mixed group, welp.

I have so far only fought the spiders and the unholds. Spiders are pretty okay to fight, they have their tricks but even a low level band can handle them if you do not get over extended. Spear walls work nicely. Unholds are really fun and a good mixup, the way they throw people around and barge into formations greatly rewards mobility perks and things like Quick Hands along with melee weapons on ranged characters. Also they are huge bags of hitpoints who seem immune to crippling effects so they are a good reason to bring swords and bows rather than things like flails that are great vs human foes.

Current run ended after an extreme drought of worthwhile recruits. In that run I hired well over a dozen militiamen and all of them sucked. Getting guys with decent melee and defense is a bitch and a half. What is the minimum defense and melee you guys are willing to accept on new recruits. I need frontliners with strong defense and the ability to actually hit back, and its hard to get mid game.

The Skeleton King posted:Current run ended after an extreme drought of worthwhile recruits. In that run I hired well over a dozen militiamen and all of them sucked. Getting guys with decent melee and defense is a bitch and a half. In the early game I'll take just about anyone who either starts with 55+ melee skill or has any stars in it, and I don't care about mdef because everyone has a shield. A lot of them will die anyway. Once I start replacing members of the company and trying to build up for the late game, I start thinking about what guys will be like at level 11 and beyond. For most melee bros I want them to end up with 80+ melee skill by the end, and 30+ mdef, which means I'll accept bros who are 60 starting skill, 55 starting skill and one star, 50 starting skill and two stars, or any starting skill and three stars. For mdef it's basically the same but 10 mdef, 5 mdef with a star, 0 mdef with 2 stars, and anyone with 3 stars. Then the balance between starting skill and development basically just determines at what point I stop keeping them as a polearm user for safety and start giving them their actual weapon loadout and letting them join the frontline. After that I worry about their fatigue and resolve. TheCog posted:How do you beat lindwurms without losing half your company? Bring a lot of polearms and bows. They can attack the lindwurm without getting sprayed with acid. Some people will put tanks in melee with them and then just shieldwall instead of attacking while polearms and bows do the real damage from a safe distance. I don't like to do that because the lindwurm has a 2-tile ranged attack so it can kill your low-defence polearm users while ignoring your tanks. So I just accept that a lot of my melee bros are going to get acid all over them and try to out-dps them. They usually die in just a few turns but ruin half my company's armour while they're doing it. Incidentally, I was offered a noble contract yesterday to go to a random location and hunt lindwurms and schrats, paying out for each head to a maximum of 12. As my reward for my early midgame company hunting down up to a dozen of the most dangerous enemies in the game, I was offered... 137 gold per head. I declined.

The best way to defeat hexe is to do the ambition to search for and destroy 4 undead holdings. The necklace that it rewards you makes you immune to fear and mind control effects. Put it on a fast bro, and... hope there aren't TOO many unholds between the hexe and him...

Hieronymous Alloy posted:"Determined" is a better trait than "Iron Lungs", change my mind It really depends. Keeping high or neutral morale on your bros is usually not that hard, and a single deathblow on a weak enemy could push a bunch of them into confident. I find Iron Lungs to invaluable for late game fights that can take a while.

I stopped taking per head contracts because they never pay out without spending days doing them, which you could have done more other contracts and been paid for more. The final straw was a 15-head max contract at 150/head for hexe/alp/unholds where i could not find a single loving one and the location to hunt for them was a two day journey away. I think these things need some kind of fix because they have *never* panned out as having been worth the time Caravan contracts can be an occasional exception since it lets you get at least some coins (from upfront or on completion) while you move to a new contract location

It seems a lot harder to make money off the faction contracts now. More of them are for monsters and therefore much less profitable. I only take per head contracts when there is a known nearby fortification I can raid to fill the head tally fast.

The ones you can get done quickly are usually 'kill what terrorizes us' and 'retrieve this item', they don't often pay a ton, but they're not typically very difficult and the target will be spawned nearby and have some tracks to follow, i usually pad out my early game with those whenever possible, and sideline with buying trade goods and selling them. I take caravans when there's no other ones to take. Those local contracts are good to raise your factions to get cheaper equipment, too It can be worth it to explore a bit and find locations, as they seem to be way more lucrative to destroy than they used to be, usually netting some sellable goods like treasures

They're also really good for noble patrol missions. I got one with two super short journeys so I didn't run into anything to kill. Wandered into a forest, killed two groups of spiders immediately, and filled out nearly all the heads I was allotted in the contract.

Secure herbalist grove mission. Get second part, where caravan goes out to repair and rebuild it. 4-Hexe 1-Unhold team attacks caravan, I hit flee. Party has totally disappeared from the map. I keep getting one event over and over, where my grave robber finds a bunch of gems. My party is rich, but also intangible. Has anyone else noticed that the game is buggy and unstable as gently caress since the update? Like, it's now a 50% chance whether it'll actually load, I've had to refight hard battles due to crashes on finish multiple times and now my party are spooky jewellers. poo poo ain't cool, yo.

So I guess killing a Hexe doesn't cause any active mind control effects caused by her to expire. It can also actually cause the mind controlled bro to panic while surrounded by his brothers in arms. And they will happily stab him to death as he tries to run away from them. That's cool, game.
