- I have a good run going in Battle Brothers. My first run, I didn't understand how to build good brothers, so I'm kind of stuck. My second only lasted a few days before it was clear I was in a living hell - few fights I could handle, almost no recruits I could afford, and lots and lots of undead and wolves and other nasties in the area. The third playthrough, I'm around day 55 or so with the Headhunters, and they're kicking ass. I literally smashed an undead camp for a mission, took an additional mission to smash more, and then wiped out a bandit camp on the way home just because they were on the way.
Three things* turned it for me:
1) Having a better idea how to recruit and build brothers
2) Ruthless use of fishing nets and daggers early to get better armor (and I scored a pike in week 1, which was massive)
3) A policy of having as many fights as I could, much like D'Artagnan was counciled to by his pop.
Because of this, I had better armor than before, better brothers, and guys with as many fights as they have days in the company. Fun stuff.
- I didn't have much time to do game prep, because I wasted what I had on Battle Brothers. Next game is Sunday.
- Concussion sucks enough that everyone fixes it. It's broken.
* Besides surprise, fear, and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope. Ah, I'll start again.
A few more tips for you then:
ReplyDelete-Money! Until you get really great guys, your money reserve and your best armors (230+) are more important than your guys. Sell in big cities, even better if they've been "raided". Don't solve their brigands problems unless it's also your buying city (good armorer in town).
-Having a town in friendly terms helps have good prices too. Check for towns that are worth doing missions for.
-Buying and selling goods is also a viable way to make money.
-I always keep a ghoul fang just as a price barometer as it's worth 100 at full price. 40+ is good, 45+ is selling frenzy time.
-You can pay to have a bigger cart/inventory, if you have a caravan hand guy there's also an event he can upsize it.
Helpful. I hit on much of that myself - and I used a ring worth 245 to gauge the prices of everything else.
DeleteHow do you pay for a bigger cart? I've only had it come up as an ambition. I resolved that, but I can upside it further?
