Incline Battle Brothers + Beasts & Exploration, Warriors of the North and Blazing Deserts DLC Thread

[Elhoim]

I'm trying again, this time on Veteran. I got 12 guys, no money, no armors, all shit and the quests I get are against bandits with bows who wipe out half my party...

What's a general good starting strategy guys? I suck so bad I don't know what to do to get anywhere in the game, it's always a struggle to not die from hunger or desertion, not even considering I need some new armors.

Buy wood, sell wood, great way to make easy money. Basically, find some "trade routes", help the villages that produce the goods.

I'm still not very good at this game. Don't care. It's amazeballs.

One can now play with up to 18 bros on the field at once it seems

Bollocks I'm now hooked AGAIN messing around with 18 bros on field at once!

Game breaking as hell obviously but great craic if you run all kamikaze beggars with splitting axes...

So any news from 1.1? They went a bit silent recently. Maybe they read the Roxor-edgy review and decided to terminate any further development immediately?

 

[Sarissofoi]

They get arrested for lack of diversity in their game.
Will work at adding women and 'refuges' after they serve their sentence in definitely non concentration camp.

 

[Jimmious]

I see you got in the mood of the Codex fast. Well done!
Refugees exist in the game, you can even HIRE THEM.

Spoiler

The ones you can hire - insert joke about refuges working and leeching on welfare - have really dog shits stats thought.
Probably because the fit ones are busy with German women - that is why you do not see them in game. Or maybe devs are homos or misogynists scums?
That one would definitely explain sounds effects for humans and zombies.

 

[Jimmious]

Meh whatever, wait for some months and you can go in the special forums for people like you

 

[Murk]

what did you guys think the greenskin invasion represented?

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Bought this recently.

Undead don't seem to have any kind of injury table; no "chipped this" or "cracked that".
I think that there should be some difference between uninjured skeleton and one that had its pelvis smashed with a pick-axe.
Same with surrounding mechanics, they should somehow affect skeletons to represent that their attention is divided and they are overwhelmed by proximity of multiple foes.

Otherwise it's been good experience so far.

 

[Cadmus]

The undead are difficult to kill for me but now I've finally found enough flails so I'll equip all my guys next time I'm going against a bunch of skeletons and see if that helps.

I get the loot only from enemies I last hit?
If enemy drops any loot I always get it or can they drop loot while last hit by patrol and I should pick it up on the battle field to get it? (how do I pick up stuff - I forgot)

 

[Jimmious]

1)I get the loot only from enemies I last hit?
2)If enemy drops any loot I always get it or can they drop loot while last hit by patrol and I should pick it up on the battle field to get it? (how do I pick up stuff - I forgot)

1) As far as I've noticed, yes. Meaning that if you fight with an allied group you won't get exp/loot from their kills. Probably there to avoid exploits.
2) Yes you always get it, no need to pick it up manually (you pick them up by moving on the hex that contains them and opening the inventory screen - you will see them there).

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Oh.
This thread got moved into more sub-forum.
Took them long enough to do it.

 

[Alienman]

No longer a rpg?

 

[Krivol]

No, because commander of the squad has no stats.

 

[thesheeep]

It never was an RPG.
You're playing the role of what? The invisible entity controlling a band of mercenaries? Riiight.
It clearly has some RPG elements (namely stats), but it is a tactical combat game first and foremost. Just like XCom, JA, those Tales of XXX games, etc.

We shouldn't put everything into the RPG forum just because it has stats.

 

[Alienman]

Funny you mention those games, but I have done more roleplaying in those games than any other "true RPGs". Well, at least X-com and JA2.

 

[Norfleet]

It's like being Laptop Guy all over again.

 

[Berekän]

Since Roxor's review it is not worthy of the RPG subforum anymore for the mods.

Joke's on them, Strategy Gaming is infinitely better than the RPG Gaming subforum.

 

[thesheeep]

It's true, the possibility to roleplay within a game is independent of the game having any RPG qualitification.

Just like you can use a vacuum cleaner as a sex toy.
It shouldn't be done, but some people will just never learn.

I used to larp around in C&C:Generals

 

[Alienman]

Hmm okay, I guess we are back to the age old question.

What is a rpg?
