That’s certainly interesting, but I am not sure it sounds fun.
Carry a dog.
Does that work?
Interesting idea.
I thought of maybe carrying a javelin as well.
Anyway, I am reaching that point, that happens every so often in thsi game, where the cumulative randomness and crap in encounters just annoys me, to a level superior of my enjoyment, so I may take a break for a while.
My caravan run was going nicely until 3 Unholds came out of nowhere, at night (so my Archers were useless) and just ripped my company apart…
Caravan runs for me anymore tend to be “free money” since I won’t be protecting those poor bastards if anything bad happens.
They make a pretty good distraction while I run away most of the time.
Of course if you get ambushed in a forest… well it’s probably lights out.
hahahahaha :)
“Lots of Orc Young.”
“See ya in town, guys.”
Narrator: They did not see them in town. No one ever saw those caravan hands again.
I’m following a Let’s Play, Expert, Expert and Ironman, Lone Wolf, where the guy playing is using just his starting mercenary, and boosting his experience at the training halls.
It’s entertaining for me.
7 days in he has 45 or so kills.
Playing the Lone Wolf origin has cured me of any desire to play on “Ironman”. Just no.
Welcome to the forum, knightsabret! I should try Lone Wolf soon.
Lone Wolf is interesting b/c you have 1 great guy and can choose different tactics. Hire chaff and let a few survivors rise through midge? Just hire another strong character? I’m enjoying that more than my caravan who benefit from the $$$ but are slow to advance with the renown restriction. I tried one deserter which ended poorly and predictably with bad resolve ending a fight. How are the the poachers/peasants etc?
In episode 4 or 5 he has a battle where his character misses about 6 or 7 attacks at 95% probability and is hit 6 or 7 times at 25% or less probability.
Someone in the comments ran the numbers and said the chance of such a streak was 1 in 13,000,000 or something stupid.
His character almost died.
Was one of the most interesting fights.
He got his guy to lvl 11 by turn 16.
Now he is expanding his roster, and saving money to find a hedge Knight to join him.
Through events he had a squire and a vagabond join him, and he recruited a sword master.
Thanks rhamorim! I really do enjoy the Lone Wolf start, btw. But after a few crushing defeats I was forced to accept that I’m probably just not good enough at this game to succeed at Lone Wolf Ironman!
The very next game after getting the achievement for losing 10 ironman campaigns, I finally get the achievements for defeating a Greenskin Invasion and winning an ironman campaign. I was playing Beginnner, but I was fairly sure I would never win a campaign in this game. I was doing random starts, but actually won with the old tutorial start situation. I had random end game crisis, and the greenskins weren’t too tough on Beginner.
Ironically, I’d chosen to play Battle Brothers before the release of Phoenix Point, figuring I would die a couple of times and be able to start playing PP as soon as it was released.
Funny how that works sometimes :)
Expansion or new game? Either one is awesome.
Not a new game, I’m pretty sure. Looks like a DLC adding a new desert biome to me.
I would love to see more done with the map. Make it a bit mote interesting. More to do and see. So hoping for that.
Fewer mountains would be nice.
Having your own BB HQ would be fun. Hiring your own smith, fletcher, etc.
