Bwahahahaha I had this one last night except it ended happily and with a morale boost for the ball fetcher guy. I wonder if the game rolls based on one of his stats or if it is just random

Nordick posted:I like using javelins on a brother who has both high ranged and melee skill, for the simple reason that they are just so satisfying to nail motherfuckers with. Especially that one game where I found a named bundle of javelins that had both extra damage and extra armor pen, and were loving insanely lethal. I guess new javelins you pick up in town marinate in awesomeness by being carried around in the same bundle with the Named ones.

Can giests actually hurt you at all or did you just have to spend forever sending routed dummies back into the fray?

Haha I tried to rescue some loving militia from orcs. The orcs got super high-morale rage boners from effortlessly ripping apart the padded-cloth militiamen then just sauntered on down and nonchalantly murdered all of my people too.

Is there any reliable way to pick that stuff up aside from buying it in town for $5000? I just gave up on a game mostly because my harvested brigand raider gear was no match for the loving nobles I was having to fight.

I'm turning into a dagger believer. I only wish there were a way to get archers and others to automatically switch back to their main weapon after a battle. I've wasted a lot of first rounds sorting that poo poo out instead of sniping motherfuckers

I find it's easier to get started if you just load up on farmers and other cheap dudes, maybe eight or nine of the bastards, and keep replacing them in the next town and upgrading their gear as you kill brigands. Re: zone of control - yeah if you don't take the footwork perk you'll have to take a hit to get out of range or reposition yourself. IMO it is often worth the risk and one of the few weaknesses I've noticed with the AI so far is that they'll almost never do this.

I just had a brother talk another out of the dastard trait by explaining that being sliced open in combat is one of the quicker ways to die. Am I gonna get an event by letting my guys live on Strange Meat captured from orcs for a while?

ditty bout my clitty posted:Blocking and dodging should cost fatigue. You shouldn't be able to send one guy into twelve and have him go neo from the matrix on them Well yeah, but this is part of the game's abstraction. Only things you actively choose to do (or getting clobbered in the head with a tree branch) cost fatigue. I imagine you'd never be able to do the 12 vs. 40+ fights if it worked like this, so they'd have to set the limit on enemy party scaling a lot lower.

Yeah the retreat button kind of sucks right now. I only ever had it kill a guy when I retreated with him facing three legionaries and already in bad shape, but it seems to give every single one of your guys a wound every time you use it

Nordick posted:Update 1.1 is giving us a more modular difficulty setting. Check this poo poo out: This is pretty awesome. I'm hesitant to start over because I'm fairly sick of the "half dozen hobos in rags" phase of the game where everyone dies a lot and you have to micromanage how many bucklers you collect to sell. Hopefully high starting cash will allow me to largely skip it.

Pretty much anyone in your lineup should be quick enough to Overwhelm an orc warrior, and it also works well enough on undead and noble house heavies too.

If you want your cheevos, on map 602bbf I managed to get my starting crossbrow bro and the surviving melee bro (don't rememeber which one, sorry) up to 90 in their respective attack skills. Trade isn't great but the noble house up north has an armorer in almost every town.

So just to be clear, taking on contracts adds more progress than just going out into the wilds and mowing down goblin/orc camps freestyle? The noble contracts are kind of annoying because they don't seem to be offered anywhere near where the action is. It's usually "go trudge halfway across the map and defend this village, then come back for monies." e: the running around is probably because I'm on my second crisis and the first one was a noble war where I helped the obviously-best house take over half the world, so they have too many cities.

Rondel daggers are great. They're the cheapest top-tier weapon by far and hurt nearly as much as a sword. You should check for them and buy them up every time you pass through a town with a weapon smith

I put berserk on everybody. Overwhelm can still be useful on your slower guys because they're probably still going to be faster than a knight, an orc warrior or most undead. I don't know how you'd make lone wolf work out unless you set up a designated guy to go charge necromancers and the like. Three tiles is just too far away to be routinely useful in a big battle.

I'm pretty sure someone mentioned that having a guy shieldwall doesn't increase the likelihood that arrows will hit him instead of the guy behind him, just the chance that the shield will absorb the hit if he takes it. That said, having two guys in front of your soft targets is probably the best way to deal with archers, aside from sniping them before they can snipe you.

The all-salvaged equipment strategy is great for weapons and shields but will leave you behind the curve when you need better armor than what bandits drop in large quantities. You should have your dudes kitted out in 250-300 armor and helmets before the crisis hits, and you'll probably have to buy most of that from an armored.

I like the noble war the best but you're hosed if you don't aim to have all of your frontliners in 200+ armor/helms before it gets rolling. My main annoyance was the huge combined battles that can have wildly varying outcomes depending on how dumb your AI teammates decide to be. I haven't done the undead invasion yet and don't think I want to - I just have no damned fun fighting skeletons.

Tias posted:Possession definitely either adds more AP or lowers the AP cost of actions. This is why you want to spearwall on turn one against necromancer-led hordes, at least in the general vicinity of the possessed creature. How far can these fuckers run? Five tiles? I know normal zombies are three tiles (on good terrain), or one tile and an attack.

I'm pretty sure I've had a unique drop on a quest, late game. I think the game may only obliterate the good loot at a stronghold if you're weak and it has to re-roll a vampire lair down to a half dozen skellies.

There are buttons for nearly every action, and the only thing I couldn’t figure out how to do was zoom the world map, iirc. Probably worth a shot if you have a windows touchscreen device.

Goblins also have that small blade you can do the dagger puncture move with. The weight cost is 2 fatigue but it's better than the tier I and II daggers, and tier III daggers are pretty rare.

Broken Cog posted:Small complaint about the Noble War: Why are the Great Battles so incredibly RNG based? I just got a battle where the starting number was 28vs36, and 4 of my side's units were wardogs. Not to mention that you can get turbofucked and obliterated if your "allies" decide to kill themselves in amusing ways e: I understand why the game doesn't give you direct control of them and goddamn would clicking through 30 guys a turn suck, but you should be able to give them hints or something
