Is ammo perishable? Otherwise it's just taping arrows to your nutsacks and going to town.

Man, are they ever gonna fix the hung screens? I'm going insane having to quit and reload autosaves  Also, is it possible to regain favour with a noble house you made hostile? I had an ambition to take out a merc band, but didn't realize it made their employers insta-hostile

Finally start to git gud at team building, just broke the back of an orc youth/warrior host led by a warlord without deaths and it was  Quick question, how is experience formed? Do your bros get extra xp for personally ending an opposing warrior, or is it a fixed rate for winning a scenario? Because while I'm kind of a completionist( gotta leave none alive! Also, loot concerns), if it doesn't net extra XP I might not spend my time hunting down every last straggler in a direwolf/'zehrer horde.

Crazy Ferret posted:I do have complaints though. The weapon system is kind of bad. There is none of that great progression from the armor system and sometimes upgrades feel too slight (with the exception of the big meaty two-handers). The differences between the weapons are a bit lopsided and lead to clear favorites but its not terrible. Sometimes I feel like I need a long break as it can feel like just samey battle after samey battle, particularly in the early mid-game when I seem to depopulate a few generations of bandits. On a warmer note, what are you guys favorite weapons? I gotta say heavy crossbow and 2H hammer, gives most enemies a run for their money

Do you field enough archers and pikes, then? I mean, one or two retreating is usual, but it seems odd that all of them could just give you the slip like that.

Man, late-game strongholds are something else. When not on mission, I'm looking at ruins that either hold 5+ marksmen AND hedge knights or two leaders, OR 15 armoured weidergängers, 4 fallen knights and 5 geists  Since I lost a lot of my lvl 12s in the last crisis, I just can't handle either. Any tips, or must I just grind easy missions till I get there?

I just experienced an "autofail caravan"  I encounter brigands, and before it asks me if I want to join battle, it just displays the message that plays when you lose a caravan detail and my mission disappeared. Both my men and the brigands remained on the map, and I killed them afterwards. Anyone experience anything like this?

Finally got around to completing all missions in noble war, and it's The final task in the army camp one( participating in a battle between knights and their armies) is pretty fun, and gives an indication of what this game could have been or eventually lead to: control of fantasy battle squads with completely individual members with their own stat, trait and equipment variables, each fighting out a part of a larger battle. Ah well, one day  Wizard Styles posted:Amazing stuff This is a really cool squad, and I'm definitely going to try to emulate it. I still can't wrap my head around how your guys have so consistently high fatigue after armour? It seems like you're able to only select the finest recruits, which seems to imply that you're not playing ironman or vet, but maybe I'm just bad at games

I *think* I may have found a somewhat consistent counter to brigand marksman bullshittery! Place guys shieldwalling in front of your archers( and other soft targets, like inexperienced 2H wielders), and it seems like they often catch the arrow intended for your archer. I'm not sure if this is just some sort of bias, but it seems like they also catch it more often when 'walling instead of just standing in the way. Either way, I think it works. Most of my guys are pathfinders anyway, so I can easily switch from defense to offense when their line breaks. Funso Banjo posted:Not any day, I am afraid. Yeah, I meant in the sense that seeing how well Battle Brothers work, someone else can make an open source version( or spiritual successor) one day and we can have unique member large-scale wars.

Wizard Styles posted:loads of cool gear Yo Styles, can you go into a bit more detail about what you learned about attacking lairs from day one? I'd really like more unique gear to round out my squishier/dodgier builds, but I don't think I'm doing it right: either the lair wipes out half my front line jobbers which I have a hard time recovering from economically, or I lose one or two of the really talented guys I'm building.

Wizard Styles posted:The lairs you can attack from day 1 on are extremely unlikely to give you uniques, they're just for loot. I found an amazing unique cleaver that was guarded by a dozen Ancient Auxiliaries in the first two weeks once, but that was it. No kidding! I got an open war grave full of ancient legionaries.. I gotta admit I took a job to turn them into auxillaries  How often do you take actual assignments from the towns? I'm on a new playthrough trying your strategy, and I find myself grabbing one now and again to keep up with money and ambitions. quote:I realize none of this is 100% reliable, since you might just have incredibly bad luck and all the good uniques are in Goblin cities and Orc Warlord camps. Or they might be too far away from any taverns. Or your map might not have a lot of villages with armorers, fletchers or weaponsmiths. All right, cool. I still find myself losing a lot of guys I could see myself building into vets, but I guess that's the cost of reliably clearing strongpoints.

Yeah, that was pretty outrageous. To anyone else following, I just want to add that Styles' "kill loving everything that moves" strategy( and it's hot cousin "follow them home and raid the lair"), has been really lucrative, in money if not yet in uniques.

How do allies work with regards to, for example, shieldwall actions. If a an allied footman during a noble skirmish is shieldwalling, and my adjacent brother is also shieldwalling, do they get the benefit for having two walls up?StrixNebulosa posted:Y'know, Necromancers aren't so bad when they stand in the front lines where my crossbowmen can snipe them before they can do anything. Have bow snipers, and stagger your spearwall forwards. Getting the necro in the first 3-4 rounds is essential to not getting bogged down by the living dead.
