I know that RA greatsword tanking is the hotness for endgame frontliners, but how viable would it be to run a line of heavily armored, shielded warhammerers focused on outlasting the enemy? I'm thinking something with battle forged, brawny, shield expert, recover, hammer mastery, and probably crippling strikes, fearsome, and executioner. other perks added to taste

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Oh btw I've figured out how to hack your dude's starting traits You can also use this to change your perk points pretty easily, even in between level-ups. In the absence of mod tools, I might use that to ensure I still get perks past 11. Maybe once every other level or something? I dunno

Today on Maury: Is Gifted a trap perk for our nation's mercenaries? It seems like a solid choice for your forgettable shitbirds, but if you've got a NICE!!! bro who's gonna be foreverially employed, with fully RA'd sword, permanent battle forged armor, etc etc, then the stats you gain from Gifted are worth like 3-4 levels past 11, which is cool, but the opportunity cost is a perk slot, and you only ever get like 10 of those.

Do enemies go on the offensive based on the number of ranged weapons you field, or based on the odds of them getting hit by your arrows? If it's the former, I wonder how viable it would be to stick some dinky-rear end crossbows on your unshielded guys in order to force the bad guys to come to you

How do you folks put together your backline in terms of defense? Medium armor and dodge? Do you bother with brawny and/or battle forged?

Sloober posted:There's a very small chance of someone offering to sell you a map. For what its worth it can be goddamn hard as gently caress, i bought one and it lead to a black monolith that had *47* undead units, 1 was a priest, probably 15 legionnaires, 15 fallen heroes and the remainder were mixed chaff. Interesting. I don't think there can be more than one black monolith per game, so it sounds like the map maybe points you in the direction of a place guaranteed to have unique gear, rather than generating a site for you

The math is kinda wonky on headhunter, remember. Agreedo on steel brow, though. Endgame armor might make it possible to shrug off the occasional (occasional) bolt to the brains, but (a) you have to get there first, and (b) when you do, a great big orc with a great big axe will show up to gently caress you in the butt (and noggin)!!! and he won't be gentle!!! dogstile posted:Honestly I find nine lives to be better for my backline anyway if i'm planning on keeping them around. Any stray instakill bolt instead drops your dude to 1hp and backliners usually go next, so they can just back right off.

TV dog Wishbone of PBS posted:I think you usually get more single target damage using 1h weapons? You get to strike twice after all. ...unless you're leatherface wearing your nice set of davkuls, I guess!! You could probably run a super effective dodge/nimble/battle forged/duelist with that stuff on. 18 fatigue for the full set of armor. Crazy 2h axe murderer would still probably be more effective for crowds tho. Soup du Journey fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Apr 4, 2017 |

Well, here's your guy's stats, for one: A good landmark for those is the first 09 digit after 68 75 6D 61 6E ("human"), since that'll always be your ap. The stats always follow the order listed. Edit: added level and perk points. Level is gonna be that lonely 01 (or whatever his level actually is) after your guys name field. Unused perk points is the one directly after that. If you want to start with, I dunno, 10 perks, just change the 00 to 0A. I might use this to give my guys perks every 2 or 3 levels after 11, just for kicks. Maybe. Who knows.

You can also use a hex editor to clone your gear by studious use of naked saves and clothed saves. It'll involve some precise cut/pasting, but at the end of the day you can deck everyone out in the Emperor's Armor for a full squad of Glitter Boys. You could also all be Davkuls. That is of course extremely ill-advised. A better use might be cloning the Fangshire helm (if you bought the supporter edition or whatever it's called) for an interesting take on the early game. If I ever buy that DLC I might start an Expert run, give everyone Fangshires, and go maximum night raider to get past the crazy bandit curve in early expert.

Not that I know of, which is a shame, because being stylish is important on today's battlefield. A davkul killfiend can get by with orcish weapons, since their crude style matches the hellish meatsuit. Emperor Goldfinger though? Best I can think of is a crypt cleaver or something

Liu posted:I wish they had more detail on how line of sight blocking for ranged attacks work. There is a loading screen tooltip that says if you fire into a bunch of stuff you're bound to hit something, and when I've fired a 5% chance to hit an enemy, who is being blocked by another enemy, I do hit one of them more often than the bad odds would suggest. Don't take this as gospel or nothin, but I'm pretty sure that whatever percentage of the hit chance is deducted from your blocked target is just transferred to the blocker. So say you have like a 70% chance to hit a dude, but now suddenly someone steps in front and blocks you. Let's say that drops your odds of hitting your target from 70% to 40%, well I'm pretty sure the dude in front now has a 30% chance of getting hit, with another 30% chance of the arrow hitting the grass somewhere. Basically the only times I ever worry about blocking is if it's terrain that's doing it, or if it's some rear end in a top hat with his shield up. Or if it's one of my guys, obviously.

Oh wow, that sucks. There was so much more they could have added to the game. Have they said anything about modding? There's really no reason for them to keep the code obfuscated anymore

Jalumibnkrayal posted:"A part of game development is making tough decisions on where to spend your limited time. In creating Battle Brothers we, too, had to make concessions in order to make the game happen. Unfortunately, this now makes things like translations and mod support unfeasible, as much as we’d like to offer them, and expanding the game beyond its initial concept an increasingly unwieldy endeavour." That is incredibly stupid of them. Literally all they have to do is unobfuscate the code. The directory structure and all the relevant files are right there in the zip, but I can't do anything with them because they're all .cnut files. I get that workshop integration might be more trouble than it's worth, but that's hardly mandatory for having a modding scene...

I guess they were aiming for something north of 100k?

I dunno how long Battle Bros was in development but that is a lot of sales for a first game with no big publisher backing it. It's probably a combination of a long dev cycle, team fatigue, and them being based out of a high living-expense country (Germany). A 2.5 year dev cycle and equal shares in the team would mean, if they sold 52000 copies, that their programmer is making a below market rate salary.

I'm veering off-topic here, but with the summer sale coming up, all you German-Pixelgame lovers should take a look at The Curious Expedition. Aside from being a turn-based party-management thingie, it's not very similar to Battle Bros, but it's super charming, and there's a lot of (interactive!) event variety and a solid amount of replay value for the price. Should be under 10bux in the sale.
