What are the essential mods you always play with, if any?
Also, have you tried Legends already?What do you like/dislike about it?
>>1769970>>1769969Nice artIs there a mod that makes beast slaying viable? Usually it’s not worth it as beast loot sells for little and is extremely dangerous.Making it more economically rewarding or it’s loot more useful and obtainable might make it worth the risk.

How would you build this bro?
>>1770135nine lives and dodge to max out survival i think
>>1770135Fat neutral forged is the only non-meme way to build swordmasters
>>1769970I don't know why you people like Legends. The base game is already grindy as fuck, what's the appeal of adding multiple layers of grind on top of it?
>>1770316Nobody actually likes legends, its just bloat.
is there a mod that gets rid of the lag?game is glitchy and stuttery
>>1770357Probably your pooter, bruv. It's run fine for me for as long as I've played it
>>1770331It was a mod made for modders as evidenced by how most of the mods on nexus are built with Legends in mind
>>1770357check/uncheck the hardware cursor option in settings
>>1770316Literally all there is to the game is the grind. It's not like the 'End Game Crises' actually end the game or are unavoidable Crises (unless you enable town destruction, in which case what's wrong with you?).This is why I mod the game to last longer with lower/more subdued increase in battle difficulties over time and more related to party composition, and more nuanced exp gains.
Still no mod that adds actual NPC crownling company with equipment to match?
>>1770514>This is why I mod the game to last longer with lower/more subdued increase in battle difficulties over time and more related to party composition, and more nuanced exp gains.Gimme. Explain "nuanced exp gains," though.

>>1769969quicker, mb pause, weapon damage values, show enemy stats and that one that makes bag slots have their own hotkeys

>>1769970>>1770316Legends is the product of BB players going from absolutely zero modding potential to being able to do just about anything, given the decompiled source code.Since the early modding tools meant that any mod that even remotely touched the same shit would be incompatible, everything just got thrown into Legends.As such, they've got a bunch of interesting/common mod ideas, that all together make a bloated mess. Playing with Legends is a matter of tolerating/ignoring the shit parts, and learning how to skip past the more tedious parts.If you can do that, then you're left with the actual content, which is mostly alright. The embalmed are a southern undead faction with a neat mechanic, legendary beasts theoretically require strategy to beat, four star contracts are a good challenge for the inevitably overpowered day 300 party.That, along with stuff like randomised perk trees make it a bit more interesting, as that way it's not just a matter of taking the same handful of builds.
Legends is the product of KRoons swallowing cum-soaked kimchi by the GALLON until their brain rotted away and they start seeing life in terms of gacha gookclick numbefagging gaymes.Playing Legends actively decreases your T-level and thus sperm count, which is directly proportional to your value in the secondary sexual market. You got turned into a sissy and you didn't even know it.
>>1770926factual!!
>>1770926such a trvke!!!1
is there cut down version of Legends that only features the new factions and monster?
>>1770926tsmt my clitty leaked a lot while reading this!
Let's make our own Battle Brothers DLC, one bad addition at a time, I'll start:>1 skull contract is a 12 vs 59303 beast fight that nets you almost no loot and whatever you get is sold for scraps
>>1771816>If you collect a hundred scraps you can turn them into a single repair tool
>>1771819>you can also craft an item with 50 of them, it costs 10k crowns to craft and it give your bro +3 r.def and can be sold for 10 crowns
>>1771816Are you going to seethe about beasts every single day?
>>1771901Yes.
>>1771905>Throws net at you
>>1771816lmao just spear wall, like drop your shield bro its not like you are going to need it.
>>1771998A spear wall spear mastery bro is really satisfying to use against beasts. Endless hordes of spiders just throwing themselves at him and dying.Shame it's useless for basically anything else that isn't an undead.
>Paid 10k for this dudeAm I missing something or did I get giga shafted on the stat rolls? Should I just keep his gear and send him home?
>>1772458You've rolled below average for pretty much everything except for health. It happens, just give him some cheap gear and have him hold a flank until he dies or potentially gets some good level up rolls.
>>1772466How do you pick what weapons etc to give frontliners? So far I've given everyone below 70 a spear, above 70 an arming sword and then 1 have 1 guy with some 2H Orc Axe trying to be fat neutral
>>1772473It depends on what I feel I'm lacking. Frontliners don't really go through the process of spear-sword-2h weapon, they're either shit designed to keep the good stuff in the backline safely leveling up, or level 11, in which case they're given whatever weapon they need at the moment. Default for level 11 frontliners is 2h hammers and cleavers(1h and 2h). You can somewhat start moving bros off the swords if they're at 70 matk.
>>1772458reasonable qatal dagger bro if you can get a few lucky rolls on matk to 85. Gifted will also help.
People who'd dish out 10k for a dude in this game are actually insane. I don't think I've ever paid over 4k and even that has seldom if ever paid off.Just take learning trait bro.

Kek, always had fun hiring crippled niggers in this game and sending them off to die
>>1775629this guy survived more than 50 battles on ironman before he died
>>1769969Tried Legends for the first time, it seems cool, but the armor layered system is what turned me off of it. It makes it feel like I'm spending too much time in menus organizing and optimizing armors. I feel the same way about the camping system to a smaller degree.
>>1776044just...turn...it...off...?You can disable armor layers....
>>1776044Combining armor parts is my favorite part of Legends desu
>>1776047Where? I've already looked in all the menus for the option.

Has anyone read the novels?
>sterile world>stupid scaling that makes it impossible to bounce back from a loss>enemies almost always outnumber you>enemies often have bonus perks that mean they outscale you>game's balance was Darkest Dungeon'd to death by min-maxers>no real plot>no economyEverytime I get sucked in, I'm left wondering why. Nothing ever changes and the game is an unfinished mess that's been abandoned for new projects. Warband is a hell of a lot more satisfying than this and it also doesn't have the whole "enemy turns take long enough to make and eat a sandwich late game" thing going on. Fuck it, why aren't I just playing Warband?
>>1776852yep, sounds like a skill issue to me
>>1776852>whole "enemy turns take long enough to make and eat a sandwich late game"install swifter ffs
new game quite literally never
>>1776852Yeah, never got the hype around the gam either. It was fun for awhile until I realized nothing really changes, nothing really matters and it's just endlessly grinding the mediocre hex combat.
>>1775888I said crippled NIGGERS
>>1776852>>stupid scaling that makes it impossible to bounce back from a lossThis shit has already been explained a billion times.Contract difficulty scales with your party's level. If you lose all your good bros and go back to level 3 shitters then contract difficulty will scale back down.
>>1776852>>1777623That's why the rule is "pirate first, pay never". I had my fun with this game on the Saturday I've pirated it. By Sunday I realised I've already saw everything it has to offer. Next weekend I checked all the meta, quickly realised the game is borked and ever since I just fish out for non-general threads to see how people even react to this slog.Game's literally a one-sitting afair. I can't imagine the sort of boredom one would have to deal with to attempt more than 4-5 long games and then simply drop it due to repetitiveness
>>1777895Nta, but that doesn't make the scaling any less retarded, because you are most likely to lose the chaff, not the good and decent bros. So you end up with just the good ones, but not enough of them and the game gets borked.
>>1776194what novels
>>1778046Chaff is cheap and easily replaceable. It's a fundamental part of the game even, that when you lose the older shittier bros, you cycle in new hires with better stats.Actually makes the game easier, since high tier lvl 2-3 bros, i.e. raiders, oathtakers, etc, will perform as well as the average lvl 7-8 chaff, while not pushing the level scaling higher than you can handle.Generally, most complaints about scaling are a failure to cycle out your bros in time.>>1778356There are like 4-5 tie in works that expand on the game's lore. There's one for free, the caretaker, which is decent. Shows the scale of a full sized Nachzehrer.They're part of why there will never be an oriental faction/dlc.
The video that destroyed all the retards.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOk7KxycXbA
>>1778042It's okay if you don't enjoy the game but I very much doubt you beat all the crisis and mid to endgame content blind in just one weekend, only to call it repetitive and broken.
>>1776852This, sometimes it feels like the game was made bad on purpose
>>1776852Absolutely filtered beyond recognition
>>1776871>>1779097>game is repetitive and boring>n-no it's just a s-s-skill issue!What causes this behavior? Compare Battle Brothers to literally any X-Com- or, hell, even Xenonauts or an X-com copycat- or to something like Mount and Blade. There's no long term goals, fights are basically the same because the majority of enemies aren't unique and your bros certainly bring nothing special to the table, and the game has an utter paucity of mobility or attack options. Sure, there's late game content, but early and mid-game are just the same fights again and again with no real purpose. At least in X-Com, I'm performing research to kick alien ass. At least in Mount and Blade, by avatar and companions are getting long-term experience and making friends. Battle Brothers SHOULD be The Black Company: The Game, but it isn't. It's just an empty sandbox where there are no connections, no goals, nothing interesting at all. Just grind your group until late game so you can see the smattering of actually unique content in the game. Fuck, the game is basically unfinished abandonware, I don't know what you retards get out of defending it.
>>1779130>complains about scaling>now pretends to have been complaining about the game being repetitive
>>1779130Stockholm syndrome
>>1779130The fact you get capped out at medals at barely 250 has completely killed my joy of playing daily, specially since the only thing they can be used on is Warbonds who come out sporadically.Change the PO and MO rewards to be Super Credits and I'll be back. Even just letting us hoard more Medals would be accpetable.
>>1779455Oh wait. This isn't the Helldivers general on /vg/.Now I feel stupid.As for Battle Brothers, yes. People say Legends is bloated, but the fact is that it allows you to try out a much larger variety of builds simply by mixing out the kinds of perks your bros can get, one of the biggest weaknesses of the vanilla game is how similar are bros to one another except for talents.
>>1776852>>1779130The earlygame is the most interesting, anon, anyone half decent at the game spends it looking to scale up company power as fast as possible which means that fights are at their most interesting and tactical in the first 100 days or so. The long term goals is finding good loot and famed items as well as attaining higher levels to tackle harder content earlierThe lategame is a snoozefest
>>1779484Wdym by early game?Because the first 15-25 days are AIDS because you are the most vunerable to all the shitty rng in this game. After that the game starts to pick up since you now can actually take risks and do whatever
>>1779493NTA but hard disagree, the first 0-40 days are the most fun by far. Taking shitter brothers through the wringer to produce (more or less) competent fighters feels so good
This is something i figured out while playing against the storm, people that complain about rng are just unwilling to adapt their strategy to meet the demands of the situation. They fantasize some beautiful lategame builds and refuse to do what is necessary, because it's not part of their vision.>no you see this bro I started with, I'm going to make him a bf zerk headchopper with famed cleaver and I just CANNOT spare the perks to put into fast adaptation/gifted/dodge/backstabber/nimble to get through the early game>bleeds to death against hyenas on day 23Learn to enjoy the scrappiness and the chaos of managing randomness. Anyone can put together a good lategame comp. The good strategist separates himself by managing suboptimal and even downright bad situations and coming out on top by any means necessary.
>>1776852>>stupid scaling that makes it impossible to bounce back from a lossthis, you either speedrun a fight every ingame day or you can't ever catch up to camps again, and god forbids if you lose key mercs because camps scale only with time
>>1779513Camps stop scaling at day 267.You also don't need to have an optimal start to go camp-busting, you don't need to go camp-busting at all.The reason why people do it is because it gets them powerspikes so they can snowball.There's nothing stopping you going from nearly wiped at like day 70 to rebuilt and campbusting by day 130.If you think the core gameplay loop is boring, that's understandable, that kind of sandbox gameplay isn't for everyone.However complaining about difficulty, as well as scaling in particular, just outs you as a shitter.
>1779130>the majority of enemies aren't uniqueSuch a shit bait does not even merit a (You)
how do i not get mauled by giant hordes of snakes?
>>1780774Bait them into surrounding your tanks.Indomitable and underdog highly recommended. Be aware that they can still snatch your backline even if they're engaged in melee. Avoid until you've got some decent armor, since they tend to eat shit vs good BF bros.
>>1780774Is simple Dont fight them at all or if they are following you bait them into neutral npc armies until you have god bros at day 5000
>>1780774use shields they ain't actually for pussies
>>1780885>use shieldwall>snake decides to hug my shieldwall guys>no more shieldwall
>>1780933still gives you a +5 to MDEF, if that can't save you then your guys aren't ready to fight sneks yet, it's all about the ones snatched surviving long enough for you to cut your way to them
>>1780774BIG FUCKING AXE
Do brigands marksman not get affected by nighttime vision debuff or Im missing something here about the way it is applied?Just had 4 brigand crossbowman shot at me from 6 tiles away, shouldnt their range be 4 because of the -2 vision from nighttime?
>>1781621Vision is 8 by default anon.
>>1781646Here it says it is 7 unless you have a bow and bow mastery perk or a trait. I actually misunderstoodthe way that weapon range and vision interact so the actual range of guy with a crossbow should 7-2 and not 6(crossbow range)-2. Maybe that might be that Brigands gets an all weapons mastery perk and it is giving guys with crossbows the same benefits of the bow mastery.
>>1781657yes, brigands get 7 vision, with the +1 from bow mastery making it 8.
I'll be honest with you guys, I savescum the fuck out of this game. I feel like I'm just wasting so much time otherwise. Though I love it all the same.
>>1780774Push your tanks forward.Their pull is only effective to single out your weak bros, having a sturdy bro in their midst just mean they cut their own line in half, making them easier to manage.
>>17816216 tiles bow marksmen at night, yes (7 bow + 1 mastery - 2 night), their accuracy should be absolutely dogshit tho.Crossbow marksmen on the other hand will have only 4 (6 xbow - 2 night)
>>1782953The enemy does loose Ratk during the night but you also get a equal -30% Rdef debuff, so you dont have as much advantage as it seems at first.I was also under the impression that the crossbow would get only 4 range but the -2 applies to the vision, not the weapon range, the crossbow only lose 1 tile of range from the vision debuff (7-2) unless the archer mastery vision bonus is applying at all times to brigand marksman
>>1782878This game difficulty does encourage it desu>u have to learn the hard way :) a.k.a. wiki knowledge checks>rng>campaing map difficulty is all about keeping the momentum>grinding>more rng
>>1782981My biggest thing is that recovering from a bad fight takes so long that it feels like I'm just wasting my own time. I hate that feeling of spinning my wheels.Also it's fun to walk into fights that you obviously can't win just to enjoy them.
>Stage 3 Nachzehrer>eats my handgonner>runs away:(
>>1783289>savescumsnever happened
>Day 16 >doing abosolutely great so far like really good>walking down a road in a zone surrounded by settlements and right next to a watch tower>a band of reavers pop up and from one pixel inside a forest tile triggers a forest ambushThis is why tell people to pirate this game
>>1778361>They're part of why there will never be an oriental faction/dlc.What do you mean?
>>1783572Just savescum, I had the same bowman die in the first turn to a crossbowman twice. This is why I'm not accepting this bullshit.
>>1783597I did.I eventually managed to get a favorable terrain and enemy spread that allowed me to take two of them while the other reavers wasted javs and throwing axes on a uphill shieldwalled bro before I turned on them.Thanks rnjesus for the polehammer I bought for scraps on day 1 in this seed.This is the place they ambushed me. Fucking ridiculous
I haven't played this game since launch, absolutely hated it, been a long time so hard to full remember what my issues were but has it improved a lot since then or is it still fundamentally the same game?
>>1783630>been a long time so hard to full remember what my issues wereits hard to say like thisIf your issues were with lack of enemy variety or repetitive enemies then yeah, things have improvedIf your issues were with RNG, grind, shitty mechanics like ambushes, or just lack of no-brainer QoL features, then no
>>1783633>>1783630Not that Anon, but, for the record, those two issues can be resolved through mods.
>>1769969I recently found this again lost in my hard drive. Wanted to share it because I thought it was gone forever
>>1784052beautiful
Is the loss in initiative from fatigue 1:1?Because ive just gave this some tought in regards to dodge and the implications of a bro with very low fatigue vs the same bro with a normal fatigue and its effect on their dodge are pretty fucking gay
>>1784052I've got at least 80 health on some of my boys and I swear a siege crossbow nigger sometimes just drops them with a headshot anyways.
>>1783633Lack of QoL grind and repetitiveness were my main gripes. Also not the biggest fan of how the difficulty scales.
>>1784116Pretty sure it is, both your equipment fatigue and the hit you take from tiring out in battle, but that's why Recover exists. Relentless also halves the fatigue loss. Dodge can be very good for patching up nimble bros with poor mdef but with decent initiative after armor. I find the bros who can go all the way with it tend to be kinda rare.
>>1784277What I was thinking here was that the way that fatigue and initiative works can be paradoxical when considering dodge. A bro with very low final fatigue would lose very little of his initiative due to fatigue and therefore his dodge def bonus because the there is little fatigue to subtract from initiative, and never need something like recovery with a two hand weapon (althoug he also wouldnt benefit berserk), while a common sense logic would say that a bro with the same stats but better fatigue would have been better.So if I am understanding this right:bro 1:>fatigue 0/20>initiative 100 - 0 (dodge gives 15% of this a m/r def so 15 m/r def)bro 2:>fatigue 0/60>initiative 100 - 0 (15 m/r def)Both are using two handed weapons so the default fatigue recovery of 15 means that they can aways do their one attack usualy allowed by two handed weapons when their turn startsSince moving around and being attacked or taking damage from maces build up fatigue and the fatigue cost to attack(without perk) cancels it out with bros fatigue regen, during a battle bro 2 can lose up to 60 of his initiative (dodge goes down to 6) while bro 1 can only lose 20 points of initiative which at 80 should still give him 12 def from dodge. The paradox is that the guy with more fatigue ends up with less defence than the guy who gets tired faster.
>>1784294Yeah that's mechanically correct, the higher your max fatigue the more you'll nuke your initiative (but also the more you'll get back from recover). It's to stop the player from having the benefit of high amounts of both stats. But you can do a fatigue neutral build with dodge and stack initiative gear & potions to mitigate its worst effects.
>>1784052>Jimmy the Headhunter>They call him that because he always head shots with his crossbow>Mercenary company attacks his brigand camp 30 days after it was formed>They got pikes, shields, even bandit leader armor and BF on one of their bros, so you know their captain knows their shit>They attack brigand camp at night>Jimmy and his buddy shoot with a 5% chance to hit>double tap BF bro, 3HP left, grazing neck>no bandages>front lines collide, Jimmy and his buddy shoot a mercenary crossbowman as well during the fight>Jimmy feeling confident, shoots over one of his buddies in the front line>headshot>kills his buddy by accident>all brigands get huge morale loss>refuses to explain>leaves the battle
>caravan escort gets attacked in the forest>this is how the battle startI reloaded to see if it wasnt a bug or something and because my guys were all with daggers in their hands from the last fight that I forgot to switch backAnother reason to dislike caravan contracts
>>1785425Wish connecting with caravans contracts was optional. You can decide to join to conserve resources but can leave it to try and intercept enemies before they reach it without losing the contract.Only ways you could lose the contract is if you move too far away from it before it reaches its destination, or if the caravan is entirely.
>>1785446>>1785425Also, I'd be nice if the caravan contracts came in two different shapes and tell you which is which.>Caravan owner knows his caravan will be targeted by X enemy and specifically hires you for protection. Custom enemy parties are created that beeline it to the caravan, as with vanilla caravan contracts.>Caravan owner hires you for protection of their caravan, but no known assailants are expected in the journey. Usually pays less than the other contracts, but no custom parties are created. You can still be attacked by random enemy parties,but they mgiht avoid you if you think you're strong enough to beat them.
>>1785446Yeah, it is annoying when you really need to resupply on tools or ammo, or even just sell some junk while doing a caravan and it pass one tile away from a settlement and there is nothing you can do about it
>>1769969Picked this game back up and it's still so fucking hard. I have 60 hours and I still feel like a total noob, barely get out of the early game and the whole time I'm piss poor and can't buy anything
>>1785697much of this game is designed to fuck you and the only way to get over it is through knowledge checksAlso a good map seed can make quite a difference early game
Uhhhh
>>1785740OhIt is an actual contract eventI never had seen the nomads get replaced by undeads before
>>1785743forgot pic
>>1784052damn i barely remember making that, i originally made it as a webm but i dont think i ever posted ithttps://files.catbox.moe/z0f1xn.webm
>>1785750I hate this event, turns a relatively easy and profitable camp into a nightmare with less loot. I get so fucking paranoid when taking 2skull nomad camp contracts now
>>1785852Wiedergangers are baby tier for a bait and switch. On the other hand, I've been guarding some caravan for a juicy payout only to realize they're transporting fucking necros :^)
Noob here, am I right to keep blungeons on my spear and archer guys? I did this because my biggest bane in t his game has been undead.
>>1785840niceDo you still have the source file by any chance? Or only this output?
>>1785840Here it is in postable form, using the audio extension. Thanks for sharing this
>>1785994Depends on the undead. If only ancient dead you probably shouldnt even be bringing spears and archers to begin with if possible, give them non pierce 2 ranged weapon or flails. For normal undeads what you want is to use decapitations from cleavers or use a key bro with that trait that turns every kill into a gore kill and give him a flail. because behead undeads or with their skull caved in cant be ressusitated alone or by necros except for fallen heros who can get up even without a head, meawhile your you should advance your line 2 tiles so that your archer bros can try to snipe the necromancer with aimed shots to both kill them or disable their direct control thing.
Local mercenary refuses to die, employer forced to pay severance package of 2500g just to get rid of him.
Any mods that can help with combat being a bit of a slog? Even with anim speed up stuff takes forever.
>>1786356Take off his armor and send him to the front alone and unarmed against spiders or wolves if you don't want to pay him a severance.Giving him all that armor and weapons, while expecting him to die is contradictory.
>>1786394I could never be so cruel to one who has served me so well.In other news, I got an event I've never seen. Helping a barbarian king fight a bunch of undeads.
>>1769969Does this game have a mod where graphics are full body sprites instead of these stupid faces?

I have never built a gunner but I like their style. I also really dislike hybrids or giving Duelist+throwing to anyone who can spare it in the backline like some people are prone to do so I would rather have a double Gunner. With that in mind, is there any point to taking Crippling Strikes and Executioner on top of overwhelm and fearsome or is it overkill? And I understand I should be aiming for 85 to 95 Rtk but how do you guys distribute the rest of your points? My cut off for Resolve is usually between 55 and 65 depending on the position in a formation, but I was wondering if I should aim even higher on a fearsome gunner.
>>1770135Depends on what his first rolls are. It would be safest to just build him as a lightly armored polearm/whip backline build. He'll have at least 96 matk which is great for that. Make sure to get that HP up.
>>1786356Have you tried taking off his armor?
>>1769976>Usually it’s not worth it as beast loot sells for little and is extremely dangerous.god here we go again with this.

>>1794441At least the Devs said BB is getting one more update before Menace comes out.
>>1795024C'mon new endgame crisis
>>1795024Honestly Menance looks like shit and is just a way for the dev to grant fraud German tax money.Lets hope the actual money will go into BB.
>>1795498Fuck you, BB doesn't need more 'effort' from uninthused devs that don't give a fuck about it anymore to farm DLC sales.Menace looks fine.
>>1795498>Honestly Menance looks like shitNah looks fine, and considering how well Battles Brothers sets the mood despite its limited resources, I am fairly interested in a sci-fi tactical game that actually tries to have some personality.
>>1795498i realy REALLY want to believe that the gameplay and mechanics are actually interesting but the devs have shown literally nothing besides generic xcom 3d models
>>1795498>>1795591Legs in turn-based strategy games has been a disaster.
>>1769969I wish modding was easier
>>1796066yeah I would have thought that making custom banners would be an obvious thing for them to enable.
>>1796154The devs encrypted everything, they only begrudgingly accepted modding after a giga autist reverse engineered part of the game to find the encryption algorithm, figured out how it was implemented in the game, and then patched a bootleg decompiler so it would work. Really, it's amazing we got mods at all.
>>1796225And this I'll never understand. I don't know if it's some kind of German "you enjoy it the way we say" thing or what but why the fuck would you be against modding a game to increase its longevity and personalize it to your tastes? So many indie games thrive based on their modding community and there was a time even AAA games were moddable and it was all just considered normal.

>>1796365Yeah, That is because I was the one who edited it in.Here are the files if there are people who knows how to mod.https://mega.nz/folder/ZH5h3KpB#RZVfGAHfKjpn63EWvq7evwI'm not sure if I modded everything that needs to be modded.
>>1796599and Vesta should someone with more editing prowess want to have a crack at it
>>1796608I am retarded. Forgot the image
>>1796599I believe you need to add the banner to the world_entity0.png and the banner and shield to the entity_icons.png in the root gfx folder. You can get them by opening data_001.dat with 7zip. That's also where destroyed shield versions go, but those obviously haven't been done yet. I don't have photoshop skills so while I could probably lmao add in missing pngs I can't make new destroyed ones.I found another mod that did it so you can use it as a reference: https://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/575An alternate version here with some raw files and that doesn't overwrite old banners: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XCWbDysIqV0wxisYD-12JoT0PDz-YhI_/viewYou edit the banners.nut in scripts/config to add on the new banner to avoid overwriting an old one. Which would be why so many people don't want to touch banners: the ones they released as DLC are in the game but not enabled in the banners config. Kinda hard to release a mod would enable DLC content without getting into trouble. You'd have to lock out DLC owners to be safe, which seems like a pain. Bigger mods like Legends probably programmed their way around this but for most people (including me) it's not an option.
>>1796898Thank you for the guidance, Anon. But hot fucking damn. Is this amount of files normal in modding games? I knew I was missing something but I didn't think it was that much. No wonder modding communities are filled with autists and trannies.
>>1796264>So many indie games thrive based on their modding communitymodding communities tend to be the ass-end of the wider community though.battle brothers is both niche and unmoddable enough as to where the faggotry that infests some other games' modding circles simply hasn't taken root.

How much harder is veteran combat difficulty compared to beginner? I finished an endgame crisis in beginner but haven't gotten to the point of OP steamrolling or killing lategame bosses like the lich fella in the desert. I'm wondering if I should switch to vet or not, also wondering whether or not vet combat gets me better loot due to better geared enemies.
>>1799613yeap, go for it.
Oh no no no Battle Brothers sisters... not like this
>>1799613it's not that much harder. Just know that beginner gives you +5% to all rolls, so prepare yourself for fair rng>also wondering whether or not vet combat gets me better loot due to better geared enemies.it does

BB is really weird. Kinda supposed to be late 13th century medieval setting judging by the armor and then you get rondel daggers, pikes, and zweihanders which weren't really common for another 100 years. But we don't get a halberd. No cavalry either, which is really weird when they have mounted goblins but no mounted knights.
>>1801009>BB is really weird. Kinda supposed to be late 13th century medieval setting judging by the armor and then you get rondel daggers, pikes,It feels more like early to around the mid 14th century hodgepodge to me, so I dont see rondel daggers and spears long enough to be used in two hands only being out of place>zweihandersyeah, you are right in this point since greatswords are more of a end of the 15th kind of thing at best and only really flourish in the 16th century>But we don't get a halberd. some form of early halberd should be around the 14th century albeit not in that classic shape that everyone thingks of, but I guess the billhook fills that spot already>No cavalry either, which is really weird when they have mounted goblins but no mounted knights.There are events that mention jousting, so the lack of horses for your bros is not a in universe kind of thing
>>1801009>kinda supposed toYeah that's the whole thing. Obviously it's not a direct copy. Still, as far as it goes it follows a reasonably accurate progression from spears and shields with chain, to two handed weapons and plate or whatever. From shield walls to combinations of polearms and other weapons. It certainly feels authentic even if not accurate.
>>1801009>supposed to beaccording to?
>>1801126It's weird in that instead of a schiltron you get later pikes supporting a shieldwall. And the pseudo-romans are the same with some Dacian/Thracian influence. Interesting, for sure.>>1801437What the game tells me.
>>1801470so it doesn't match up to shit you imagined in your head? ok.
>>1801488>history isn't realI didn't imagine anything anon. The timeframe inconsistency with some gear and the way they blended things is what makes it weird. Kinda like pic related. It's just uncanny to a history autist.
>>1801493>A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained wedding veil and some in headgear or cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a Spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or sabre done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses' ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse's whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen's faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools.
>>1801055Furthermore, because it didnt come to my mind when I wrote this post, If we consider some of the southern city states gear we also have shit that could be all the way up to the 18th-19th century as well as stuff from greeco-roman antiquity era because the >linothorax which is just a meme version of tube-and-yoke armors that was almost universal around that era.

The AI might not cheat but the rolls in BB definitely are scuffed, and nobody can convince me otherwise

This game is too difficult. If they ever make a sequel I'm going to bot the reddit and make it seem like there's hundreds of people with the same opinion as me. It needs to be made a lot easier. I shouldn't have to be so frustrated. You will all hate me for it but I will be happy and that's all that matters.
>>1805582Difficult? NoDeliberately frustrating with no payoff because the devs are germoids alergic to fun? Yes
>>1805582stab in the dark here: have you tried the difficulty options.
>>1805442ThanksGonna draw my party every 7 ingame days as practice. So in other words I'm going to play BB once every 3 days at this rate
>>1805518
>>1803861It was tested and it's perfectly rng, it's the human brain that's scuffed
>>1805847Human brains aren't scuffed for finding true randomness unfair. Most games have developed systems to alleviate its frustration. BB is somewhat unique in that it doesn't hold back from true randomness in results even if the devs coded a hard cap on hits and misses at the upper and lower 5% range. Using the MRNG fix makes the game a lot more satisfying to play. But you could also modify the hardcap. See these mods:"Less extreme hit rolls for the player" under https://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/69andhttps://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/443
I don't remember who mentioned horse in a previous BB thread, but there are mention of horses and cavalry in the game.The "lawmen after criminal" event for instance specifically talks about the lawmen being on horse, and your bros scaring off/wounding their horses to force them on foot.
>>1806002There is a event with noble background bros where they participate on jousting event
>>1805847>It was testedBy fucking who?

Fought a 3 star noble battle today with a handgonne on a bro Pretty fun stuff. And got to shank two knights too, one of which was championLots of loot and 4k richer. Life is good
>>1806021you don't notice when it happens in your favour
>>1806483You definitely do, what never happens however is hitting 5 10% shots in a row
>>1806483That is complete bullshit, the rare time it happens I'm left in shock that the game decided to throw me a crumb for once. The RNG is not R at all.
>>1806718>>1806741Again, the rng was tested. It's true rng. You're just used to playing games that modify the rng in the player's favor (xcom for instance, and yet people still say it's rigged against them because yes that other anon is right you only remember when it's bad for you because the human brain is kinda shitty like that)
You very frequently have strong bros against weak enemies, so you very frequently have situations where bad rolls are possible. On the other hand you almost never have pissweak bros against strong enemies, you're almost never rolling on 5% attack chances, you're almost never rolling on 5% defend chances. Why are you surprised when enemies hit a few 5%s in a row sometime during your campaign?>b..but it's not le fair! the enemies got lucky once in 200 fights so i have to get lucky too!!grow up
>>1806800>Again, the rng was testedWell actually it was tested and was proven biased, so there. Don't agree? Too bad, it was tested.
>>1806820Feel free to pretend you're the first person since the game came out to have complained about the rng so you can make shit up like that if it helps you cope, reality isn't going to care though the fact remains : the game has true rng
>>1806824Feel free to pretend you're the first person to not understand RNG since the game came out, you can make shit up like "tests" to help you cope but reality's isn't going to care though the fact remains, there is no such thing as true RNG
>>1806826Someone tested it, I was there, if you're going to not believe me then go ahead and test it yourself because that's the only person you ever believe no matter how ignorant of the subject. You'll get the same results. All you have to do is make a script that causes a lot of rolls and registers the results.Surely a smart contrarian schizo like you can achieve that. Or you can just always note down all your rolls and do the math yourself.Or you can keep being a petty manchild who can't cope with reality.
>>1806832>Someone tested it, I was there
>>1806834You're welcome, schizo, but I'm done educating something that can't learn Lurkers and other participants in this thread now have the info, you never will because of your limitations
>>1806844I was there too, and it didn't work.Just trust me bro, what are you? A schizo? It's been tested you idiot.Go run it yourself and you'll see I'm right if you're so paranoid.
>>1806800Rarely is RNG rigged in player favour. If there is rigging it's just rigging against 'extreme circumstances'. IE, if a 1 is rolled on the 20 twice in a row the game may slant the odds so the 1 is no longer 5% chance but 1% chance.Usually if this exists it goes all ways.
>>1806849Don't worry I assumed wrong, he wasn't used to games that smooth out rng like you're describing. He was just a retarded schizo.
Honestly the problem of "true RNG" shit is that you end up just not giving a shit and just throwing shit at the wall until it sticks, for a strategy game it's weird.For instance you aren't supposed to shoot geists, but I found out it's a lot easier to just have 3-4 ranged bros shooting at them repeatedly until it eventually dies than coming up with a strategy to close up on them because your bros might just end up getting stuck while having geists constantly causing them to panic.I actually wonder if some skewed RNG would encourage more strategic decisions.
Its almost like you are supposed to use the tools the game gives you to mitigate and improve the situation in your favour... huh, woah.
>>1805084nice femboy bro
>>1807203>just throw shit at the problem until it goes away
Just installed the game and all DLC. What do I need to know?
>>1807352Don't fight fairDon't fight to the end, you're a merc companyDon't get too attached to the bros. Death is in the job description.
>>1807352shields are shitthink about your positioning in a fight, think about it every turntry to figure out what dudes you need to keep alive and who you can let die
>>1807352Fight with HonourTo the Death!Brothers for Life
>>1807352>good positioning is key>bros are expandable, death can be cheap so don't get too attached to them>gears aren't class or level restricted, do what your enemies don't: Mix things up>not all fights can be won, learn to judge danger and bail out>no fair fight, secondary items like nets, bombs, poisons, etc... can outright turn the tide of a battle so don't skip on themOh, and never underestimate beasts. Just because they don't wear armor doesn't mean they aren't a force to be reckoned with.
>>1807352Here's what you actually need to knowThugs are nothing, Brigands will fuck your shit up early game, if you're doing a caravan mission, pull your men back to the carts so the lazy caravan fucks help out too, direwolves fuck you if you don't have decent armour (100ish), don't worry about expensive recruits at the start since you'll get them killed anyway and if you use a flail, find that one brigand with no helmet and decent armour and bash is skull in with the special. Armour is lost only if it's destroyed, so if you kill with nothing but head shots, you get his armour.
>>1807464And before I forget, if you get a mission to recover some item from a tomb or some shit, you can retreat from the battle and still complete the quest because the battles starts AFTER you retrieved the item.
>>1807409>shields are shitAbsolute dogshit advice
>>1807352A good deal of this game difficulty comes from your lack of knowledge leading you to make poor decisions or not knowing how to deal with the enemies bullshit. So you can either bang against the wall until you get tired and read the wiki or just go and read the wikiAvoid caravan missions unless you want to game on the lower prices status it applies to settlements which can be useful on strongholds and citadelsAways bait enemies into fighting against neutral armies early on. This is fairly useful for turning 2-3 stars beast hunting contraste into easy moneyNever get attacked on forests or swamps since the game will force you into an ambush which can be the equivalent rock fall everyone diesNever take missions to hunt spiders on the woods since it forces an ambushAways stop by fortress and citadels and check on the market of broken high end gear being sold at banana price. Repairing them cost nothingWeapons that you get from brigands/nomad outlaws/reavers and above are worth repairing before reseling themDont blindly destroy bandit camps. They can be usefull for inflating the sell price on large towns which benefits you, also they will be constantly spawning raider parties which you use as punching bags.If you play your cards right and the seed is good you can double or even triple your starting money with trade Your contract pay is based on your reputation. Ambitions are useful for grinding reputation and can game on the system to easily farm reputation if you time things right, so be mindful of which ambitions you take so that you dont end up 30 days stuck on one that is being hard to complete you while easy ones end up getting permanently locked through natural playthrough
