Although hearing the slice of your greatsword wielder and the resulting flying heads is really satisfying. Agree that they nailed the sound design and the animations in combat.

I see the nerfed worn mail shirts a bit by buffing mail shirts slightly. They now have 115 armor instead of 110. Pretty reasonable change.

I'm using 3 archers and using them with crippling/overwhelm to suppress and break up enemy formations. It's working well even past day 60 but I need to get them warbows soon and I"m just not making enough money to make that happen, currently.

Holy hell the missions for the noble war are no joke. The two skull war camp mission leads to fighting half a dozen zweihanders which are scary as hell. And my noble allies don't start the battle with any which means their frontlines get slaughtered. I might have to run away from this one. knight hats are cool as gently caress Dreylad fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Mar 26, 2017 |

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Even moving into the middle game I find i like spearmen on my rear flanks. The front flank slots get taken by two-hander folks but the spearwall just lets them control space in a really nice way and force enemies to take that much longer to go around. Agreed, my two frontline flank guys get spears because it helps funnel the enemy into the centre of my line and also if I'm outnumbered actually slows the enemy down from engaging me all at once so I tend to fight with even numbers.

God once you get your greatsword users going it's wonderful. In a bigger noble war fight I wait on my first turn to have one of them full move in range of three billmen. Next turn starting off he decapitates 2 guys with the first swing and kills 2 more on the second, causing the morale on the enemy's entire flank to flatline.

I really like the dev team's commitment to the game's setting and keeping everything in line with it. Although I wouldn't object to a little Black Company/Malazan inspiration where wizards do exist, but they're insanely powerful and destructive and you'd never seriously try to fight one. besides necros of course

I'm getting back into it after putting it down as well and the trouble I tend to have is transitioning into a late game force that can handle crisis groups and generally not enter a failure cascade. Getting two hander bros online can be tough, although in my current game I've got a bunch of candidates for once and generating a good amount of cash. I've finally had a look at some guides and tweaked my perk choice to make everyone a bit more effective too, so here's hoping. Also I know people have said that fighting skeletons is rough no matter what but man it's just not financially worth it a lot of the time given the amount of armour damage you take. They really should add injuries to undead, like lost arms, shattered skulls, whatever just so you can inflict some kind of attrition damage onto a skeleton/zombie force. They already don't have fatigue problems, which is fine, but the lack of injuries just makes them kind of boring, to be honest, and I find you just have to play better throughout an encounter compared to fighting bandits/nobles/orcs/whatever.

Thanks for the advice. I'm either not spending enough cash early on to try to dig up some good potential 2 hander users, or I'm being too picky about who becomes a 2 hander user. I definitely agree that my problem has been too many shield guys and not enough 2 handers that kills my DPS. It's just fairly expensive to pick up greatswords and 300+ armour. I'm having to manage with several 200+ armours. Although I somehow stumbled across two Lindwurm armours in two random bandit forts that are fairly heavy but have that 300+ armour. Did I just get lucky or is that the game giving me a hint? Also I don't think I've ever seen a warscythe.

Things have gone well, I have two guys who ended up with high melee and ranged attack that I turned into pike/crossbowmen and I love the tactical flexibility. One even has solid melee defence so I can rotate him in when needed or cover my archers on a flank. Got the greenskin crisis which is good fun, and it's turned into quite a struggle, as one of the few towns that has a weaponsmith is on the front lines of the crisis constantly under attack. Given that I only have one great sword and one great hammer, I'm desperately trying to keep the city alive so I can get enough heavy equipment to deal with the heavier orcs that are coming my way. Not sure if I'll pull it off, but at least the money's good. Playing ironman veteran too. I understand the arguments against student, but I find given that I'll lose guys to mostly my own stupidity, I need to get new bros leveled up ASAP to fill in the ranks. Also a lot of my guys end up as shield bros because either I'm bad at picking out the correct guys or a lot of my guys stats have been pretty mediocre. Two good archers, two guys who I think have enough mdef, fatigue and mattack to become 2 handers, the rest are just okay. High fatigue guys get maces, I've got some swords on lower mattack guys, flails for the rest with one axe user if needed. I also just haven't had the money to try a hedge knight or something else that's expensive and good (adventurous noble). Maybe I'm not being careful enough about how I spend my cash. I also did screw up and forget to loot a bandit leader fight where I carefully shanked him and got his armour, weapon (winged mace), and helmet. God that was a sad moment.

I'd like for them to make some backgrounds a bit better. Obviously a cripple shouldn't be "balanced" compared to a brawler or something, although the game does seem to allow for the really rare chance but... Then again Resolve seems to be increasingly important and might emphasize the use of more Resolve favourable backgrounds, I dunno.

I really hope they add injuries to undead because goddamn they're boring or just frustrating to fight. I basically avoid fighting ancients because while I can get my head around fighting orc warlords or goblins, or merc companies or noble regiments, stalling out against legionnaires with a few bad great sword/hammer bros attack rolls and having my brothers get their heads popped by ancient honor guard pikes sucks rear end

In my quest for the perfect Hellworld, I've noticed that it seems like your archer bro has a decent chance of getting Dexterous/Sure Footing with the nickname "The Wolf." Makes him a pretty good xbow/pikeman since he usually ends up with 61 Melee attack/51 ranged attack to start.

With so many resolve things out there farmhands might be a bit more of a liability though, and maybe it's just confirmation bias but I think their resolve is even lower than it was before the DLC. Like low 30s high 20s sometimes.

Count Uvula posted:Even if you don't avoid them, the whining about Hexens and Schrats is overblown if you look at the steam forums or some poo poo. You can reliably take on like 4 schrats using a single dedicated axe bro, and hexens are a bitch early on but there are a ton of different strategies to deal with them. Alps are as annoying as people say they are, though. The biggest flaw is honestly a lot of the new writing -- hooboy if you thought the near complete absence of women was questionable gender politics, they got real and bizarre misogyny now whenever Hexens are mentioned in a written event. Outside of the Hexen stuff specifically, a lot of the new writing is just annoyingly purple and has about 4x as many words as it should for the information it's conveying. As with most creative endeavours, but especially video games, people need editors.

Nope. I expect they'll change it, although I don't know how it got through even the most basic testing. I'm not going to use Nimble until its fixed, except maybe late game on a hedge knight or some high end background guy I end up getting eventually. Dogs continue to be a huge boon against the new monsters, although I haven't found any schrats yet. Unholds waste their time throwing a dog around while my guys poke the Unhold to death. Also cleavers work really well against them. Dogs against hexe are a bit more iffy, but if you can get to the hexe I just rotate the dog out if one of my units is hexed. Even if the dog ends up getting a few hits in, they aren't damaging enough to seriously hurt any hexed unit.

Hey I finally got the caravan hand expanding your cart event. I never had that fire before. Really helpful with all these reagants I'm hauling around. Also maybe they always existed but around day 30 in this campaign I got a couple of mid level undead missions against auxiliaries and two necrosavants. Wasn't expecting that, and my poor wildman bro I just hired got decapitated in the process but some of the stuff you can craft from their dust is nice.

Adds lots of fun content. I still haven't found schrats but that's probably because there's very little forest on my map in the civilized area. There's balance issues that need to be sorted out, but those are tied to the base game. I'd say it's definitely worth picking up, especially for 10 bux.

The new armour is a disappointment because you still need 210+ on 2hander bros imo. It helps you get to that point I guess but the common armour seems to stop at the 115 (?) chain mail that raiders wear and that's it. The new weapons on the other hand are great, but some stuff like the Septum should be more common to get more use out of it. It's always nice to just have a polehammer in reserve, or the club/spear two hander in the early game is quite nice. And of course Longswords make the transition to 2hander bros much easier. vyelkin posted:I found out the downside to nimble. It doesn't reduce bleeding damage, obviously. All it took was two hits from an orc warrior's cleaver and my nimble bro lost nearly half his health just bleeding over the next two turns. Didn't last long after that. Nimble definitely still has weaknesses but I think the biggest problem is how it really makes your economy game so much easier. Think about how much money you have to sink into getting a battleforged bro to nearly the same effectiveness in comparison. It's a bit absurd. I've avoided taking it but if it stays roughly as is, or gets nerfed somewhat it still might be good on archers. I usually just put dodge on them.
