Rat catcher is an old and legit medieval job. There are still people in India that are ''rat catchers.'' Do you all think that pest control and exterminators are new professions? Not everything is a reference to Warhammer you goddamn dorks.

Tias posted:The ork berserkers do mushrooms, the goblins ride wolves, and your company captain who dies in the intro is named the same things as the captain in the WHFB mercenary company simulator from 98. But what do I know, I'm a dork The fact you know those things make you a dork. Goblins in Tolkien poo poo ride wolves too. Same with orcs eating mushrooms and wearing black armor. Not everything is a reference to some other need IP. You idiots are almost as bad as the Warhammer fans talking about how mass effect could have been designed with 40k in mind. No shut up about warhammer.

P sure the devs are giant European history nerds and wanted to make a game to reflect that interest. Idk maybe I am wrong but that is what I get from their let's plays Maybe they fully intended to ape some other IPs lore or mechanics.

Gammymajams posted:What kind of retard thought appropriate level 2 contracts for my party of level 3 and 4 peasants involved necrosavants? There are barely any level 1 contracts to level up on, you have to slowly, slowly, slowly wander across the world map going town by town in the hope they have any contracts. And all the while time is working against you to pit more and more overpowered enemies against your crew of fucktards that can't hit anything and get 1 shot by anything with a bigger dick than gwyneth paltrow. This is a total crock of poo poo. You are playing wrong.

Gammymajams posted:I must be, because the next town had an almost identical poo poo contract and it is, once again, a complete clusterfuck. 2 necrosavants killed 4 troops and made another run away after I'd finally ground down 7 skeletons, who individually can solo my lovely mercs. Don't take escort or delivery missions. They are too easy to complete, little to zero merc xp, and give a lot of renown which then increases contract difficulty.

Flails suck because they're garbage against higher armor orcs. Same goes for cleavers because the undead don't bleed. Warhammers are great because it has swipe like the Greatsword but it also staggers everyone that it hits, which sends been to the end of the turn order. Also the Warhammer destroys armor better than Greatsword. I keep Warhammer wielder on each flank. A great sword wielder next to them, with Shield guys in the middle. My entire backline has warbows and warscythes to swap to once melee has begun. Nothing like taking out an army of orc warriors, a few warlords, and a plethora of beserkers without taking a single casualty. Because everyone has overwhelm and all the tough units are staggered and without armor.

Sloober posted:Cleavers are great v undead. The bleed isnt the point, you can pop heads off which is a kill. I rather use weapons that can kill multiple targets per attack. Even the two hand cleavers can't do that. Also the damage is poo poo. If you want fatality to negate possible reanimation then just find a guy with blood thirty and give that guy a two hander.

Back Hack posted:Maybe, just maybe, the weapons in this game are balanced in such a way that weapons are better in one situation while other certain weapons are better in other situations. Wrong. Greatswords, great warhammers, and warscythes are the best for every enemy type.

marshmallow creep posted:So I got home from work and decided to play a bit. Got a patrol job and found a big pack of bandits. With the gear you have, and I assume levels, how could you ever think you would lose that fight or even have a guy go down? That is a group of bandits you face on day 9 on Expert when you only have gambson and like 8 dudes all below of lv 4.

Iceshade posted:I did the combat scenario, felt confident, started on Veteran. I'm a XCOM fan, did all of them on the harder modes without loving up. I love M&B Warband. Battle Brothers, unlike XCOM, doesn't fudge the to hit chance numbers on favor of the player. In XCOM when you have an 85% chance to hit, you really have 95% chance or something.

dylguy90 posted:My current run was going very well due to following the advice of not immediately hiring up to 12 but growing slowly and emphasizing armor early game, and running as many lumberjack axes as I could get my hands on. It tipped into great when I got the direwolf armor contract and :shank:ed my way to more good armor. Just wait till you get your first two skull greenskin contract.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:How dumb is it to play this game on Expert fresh out of the gate? I'm the kind of guy that picks the highest difficulty level on whatever game he plays, but I'd like some input on if its particularly bullshit or not. I am the same way. However battle brothers isn't like other games and I recommend veteran as a starting difficulty level.

Big loving hammers is the easiest since it also works for every other enemy type too.

Lunethex posted:People have been calling the Warscythe you can get from Ancient undeads the "best weapon in the game" several times over and just building it up and up but I dunno. If you can't figure out why the warscythe is the best weapon in the game, just uninstall. You obviously haven't been playing battle brothers.

deep dish peat moss posted:I just started a new save, did the tutorial mission and then killed Hogger. I took my first contract, a caravan escort that barely paid anything, because I couldn't find any contracts in the area I was in. That axe is common to get and you need a guy with a poo poo ton fatigue to make use of it anyway.

John Charity Spring posted:If you're fighting a lot of ancient dead, it can be fun to give the warscythe to a frontliner and let beat on the enemy's pike legionaries over the tops of their front rank of shield legionaries. True and berserk is bonkers with that build since reap has lowest fatigue build up if I recall
