Starting a new game to go hunt myself a bigass snake, and having a really hard time not naming this company "Conquering the Wurm" because I love dumbass references EDIT: I have ascended. After 344 hours in this game I have finally managed to recruit my first horse corpse fucker. EDIT2: No, nevermind, he broke his neck as I tried to help him down from his rope.

If I had to do like a challenge run where I could only use a single type of melee weapon for all my dudes, I would probably choose axes.

No I'm pretty sure they have the same penalty. The nighttime penalty overall was reduced in an update not too long ago, though.

Toadsmash posted:This game isn't much to look at, but they sure make up for it with the sound effects in a big way. The direwolves are chilling. Yeah the sound effects make the combat a lot more visceral than you'd expect. Orcs losing their poo poo when they panic always puts a smile on my face. The music is low-key great too, I love the different styles they have for various enemy factions. They're all very fitting. And even after hundreds of hours in the game I sometimes hum along to some of the world map themes. Harry Potter on Ice posted:I love the sound effects and music even if I'm not so good at this game. I guess I just need to keep plodding on, I just hate losing guys. At what point do you start going after places that pop up on the map? I know someone said a while ago here that they start right away, I've never had much luck taking one and save scumming makes the good drops dissappear it feels like You can often actually see what enemies a map location has when you get near, so even early on it might be worth it to go take a peek in case it's just some bandit thug rabble. In the case of forts that you can't see into, by my memory it usually trends towards a good number of bandit raiders, or hordes of armored wiedergangers shored up with fallen heroes or geists. Both of which are bad news for a newbie company. Nordick fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Mar 27, 2018 |

I reload deaths quite a lot because I'm a pissbaby, and I still don't feel like Student is really worth it. The timeframe it leaves the brother an actual perk short is just too long.

"change the world of Battle Brothers, from the frozen north all the way down to the parched steppe" certainly makes it sound bigger than the Lindwurm thing. Making us wait for a week to hear more though, hunnnnggghhh goddamn Overhype this is torture!

Wizard Styles posted:I even gave him that name myself, too, because of his Greedy & Spartan combo. Well to be fair, I concede that looting things probably does count as frugal. Unrelated, a short Battle Brothers story: I have the Greenskin crisis in my current game. There was a contract to just kill any greenskin groups or camps I came across, to draw out an orc warlord, and then kill him. Against my better judgement, I took it. Before setting off, I figured the men could use some liquid courage, and headed to the tavern for some rounds. Bought the patrons one too, and they were very encouraging about my coming endeavor.  Thanks man, sage advice I then proceeded to kill a bunch of orc young and some stray goblins, in small enough bands to not give much trouble. And lo and behold, before long the warboss took note:  gently caress my life Fortunately, allies were nearby!  Except that they are actually running away COME BACK YOU MOTHERLESS CURS AND HELP ME After running around the countryside for half a day like in an exceptionally terrifying Benny Hill chase scene, I managed to  Excluded from the list: A bunch of goblin wolfriders The battlefield was not the most pleasant one, but I feel like it hindered them more than me.   but thank gently caress they didn't have ambushersThe loot ended up being a bit poo poo, since the soldiers Maybe after this whole thing blows over I can actually set out and find one of those drat Lindwurms.

Night10194 posted:I just cannot find unique weapons for the life of me, no matter how much I kill random strongholds in the wilderness and listen to tavern rumors. And when I do find one, it's always another shield, or a +durability greathammer. RNGsus giveth, RNGsus taketh away, and sometimes RNGsus just fucketh off. It's day 127 in my current game and I have two brothers wearing unique scale armor, have seen other unique armors in the store a few times, but haven't seen a single goddamn unique weapon. In some previous games I've had several.

Well, I sure as poo poo just got a nice climactic ending to the Greenskin crisis. Took a contract to break the greenskin siege of a big city. Took care of the siege engines easily enough, then hurried to help the soldier company that was fighting against two big greenskin groups. Arrived just when they were getting flanked with me in turn flanking the main enemy force, resulting in a huge chaotic furball melee. In the end there were 6 left of the originally 21 strong company, so I surely got there in a nick of time, like proper heroes! Right after I turned in the contract, I heard the greenskin invasion had broken, so apparently their defeat in the Siege of Brammingborg was too much for them. Fulfilling the contract also brought me up to Allied relationship with the noble house, which in turn fulfilled my ambition, so I got a nice pile of loot as a reward. Or would have gotten, if my inventory hadn't been nearly full already so most of the new poo poo just vanished like a fart in the wind. Fortunately the one thing that did fit in was the expensive pimp-rear end helmet. Still, it was cool and fitting. Almost like being knighted for saving all the realm, if sellswords cared for such bullshit.

After a long dearth of unique items, I finally just found two, back to back in consecutive battles. Both were orc shields.  Was a cool battle though, never seen one like this before: It was supposedly a standard camp clearing mission, except it turned out there were roughly 30 orcs on the field. Luckily, they were scattered all over in pairs or small groups, beating the poo poo out of eachother. Nordick fucked around with this message at 09:39 on Aug 25, 2018 |

Found my first Lindwurms!  Four at a time, at that. First couple tries I got absolutely trashed; big wingless dragon monsters hit really loving hard, whodathunk. Then I came up with a tactic that let me beat them without notable injuries, except two guys being sick from eating berserk mushrooms. Still, gently caress me those things are intimidating.

So uh, lol. Got a contract to defend a town from the undead. Just as I arrived in said town, I got the event where one of my mercs starts harassing the villagers. Instead of telling him to fall in line, I wanted to make things interesting and just tell all my men to go wild and do what they want. A bit of looting cheered my guys up and earned me a bit of gold. The townsfolk didn't like it at all but, whatever, it's not like I ever visit this podunk hamlet anyway, time to get to work and earn my pay. Except this town currently under siege by the undead horde decided it'd be a great idea to hire another mercenary company to attack the one currently standing between them and annihilation. I mean sure, thanks for the extra loot, but is this really the time?

stopgap1 posted:beat my first Lyndwyrm. only lost one of my best men. those things are tough as HELL. Key is to stay the gently caress away from the front end of it. Have good melee defence bros line up and shield wall next to the tail end, and keep whacking the tail with polearm dudes and shooting at whatever end you can with archers. And for the love of god don't try to attack with your shield wallers, just focus on keeping that shield wall up. Like so:

Wafflecopper posted:Makes sense to me. "We hired these mercs to protect us from the greenskins but instead they're just trying to beat them to the loot! We need to hire another company to protect us from both!" Now look here, all I did was extract a little bit of extra pay for risking my life, it's not my fault if they can't distinguish between that and getting turned into zombie fodder.  They're lucky the contract paid well, otherwise I would've just pissed off after the first wave and the merc attack and left them to their gruesome fates.
