Once I get my old man settled at home tonight we'll continue on. I'll make a post in the usual form but for starters we're basically gonna decide on some stuff. The town we're returning to has iron so we might decide on buying some to trade and if they have another contract we'll look at it and see if we want to get the job done for them. Just keep those possibilities in mind and stay tuned for the next post. And seriously, you guys' patience is admirable as hell and I appreciate it. You'd have every right to pile scorn on me for lapsing so hard but you haven't and I respect that. E: I'll also update the waiting list in the OP up to the 50th man cut-off.

Day 6, Morning We march into Helfenstein with a clutch of brigand heads tied together by their hair and Prince of Space on a stretcher. I say Prince of Space but by the time Dike, who the men are already calling the Unready, rejoined the men our preliminary tests of Prince's mental faculties already told us he was concussed and can't even pronounce his own name better than Pwince of Spess. We report to our employer and collect our pay. Walking around town I see that there's no more work here. I take a stroll through the marketplace and replenish our supplies of tools and pick up some goat cheese to round out our provisions. I also go ahead and buy a thin worthless hood to give Blurry Grey Thing something to cover his sinful head with. I also spy some copper ingots selling at a fair even price at market value [sorry it was copper, not iron like I thought I remembered!]. In any case I round up those of the men whose brains aren't so scrambled that they can't count their own toes and we look over our options. Obviously we'll need to go elsewhere for more work but even after resupplying ourselves and buying Blurry's hilariously inadequate hood, we've got roughly a thousand crowns left over. We could buy up this copper and quite easily turn a profit, especially if we head to a more major city or fortress from here. Do we buy the copper ingots? A. Yes, we can make some money off it like our raging wood we had earlier! B. No, godamn it we're poor and underequipped enough! Where do we go next?! [We're in Helfenstein right now]  [Sudfeste, Seestadt, and Wurmburg are the nearest major cities/strongholds, where the copper will sell best, if we choose to buy it in the previous decision, but I'll take us wherever you guys decide! The other nearest towns are just villages like Helfenstein. Seestadt is the town to the southeast with the same banner as Helfenstein in the screenshot.]

I say we 1) buy the ingots, and 2) make for the biggest, richest city we can find that'll buy them and give us work. Maybe get into some adventures along the way. So long as the adventures haven't got maces. edit: Oh, I guess the richest town is just one over. Let's go there and do whatever it takes to make them like us.

Yeah I went back and looked we dropped it off then did the next job already. Some reason I thought it was a couple towns away Head towards wurmburg if we can make it with our supplies. They may have dragons What's with waidtal why do they have our banner? Just cause that's where we started off?

SniperWoreConverse posted:Yeah I went back and looked we dropped it off then did the next job already. Some reason I thought it was a couple towns away Waidtal only looks that way because I'm still using that screenshot from back when we were there. The reason for this is I can't fit literally every town into one screenshot. This is also why I had to specify that Seestadt is the town with the blue/white banner to the southeast of us whose name can't actually be seen. I really do wish I could just take one screenshot and show where every single town is but I can't. e: Now that I think of it though I'll go digging through the game files and see if maybe I can dig something up.

Is seestadt the one with it's name cut off, south east of us? E: gently caress me I can't read for poo poo E2 why not just screenshot with the map centered on where we are? I'm assuming you can't cross the whole map in one shot and we'd have to pick something sorta nearby anyway?

Sure and I do this this to give people an idea of how far we're going toward our next objective but I don't wanna do this every time we're jobless and deciding where to go just because of laziness. Also I just went digging through the files and it looks like the map is just packed in with a general save file and I have no godamn idea how to access it and just poo poo out a straight up map. I'm not great at editing images but give me a little time and I might be able to cook something up while I'm waiting on more people to chime in with their say on the current decisions.

SniperWoreConverse posted:Key is do the easiest thing Turns out some copy/pasting wasn't too awfully hard. Here's a full world map that I'll be using from now on! Now without our banner getting in the way!  It's not perfect but hey you can see where everything is now in one view when it comes to towns.  e: Hilariously enough you might notice that we've already traveled across half the world. Also it might startle you to think all that grey cloudcover poo poo is just stuff we haven't seen. There's no towns out there or anything but there are hosed up deathtrap-hellholes scattered around as well as perhaps a fabled megabeast that is more than capable of ruining even well-trained and equipped full companies of mercs.

SniperWoreConverse posted:Dang I did not expect that to be the entire continent those arrow guys have practically no cities and nowhere to expand Keep in mind that stuff is a couple days away. In this game your best bet is to just keep trading goods as you go and try to stay employed as much as possible. So if you want to go somewhere across the map your best bet is to head toward the nearest town in that direction and see if there's work and just gradually head that way. Plus sometimes you'll find a job to escort a caravan that might take you way the gently caress away. It's kind of hard to say. But generally speaking, especially this early, you don't usually want to up and decide to just march across the whole map and have to pay and feed your men the whole way when you can just pick up work wherever and eventually you'll end up in that neighborhood most likely. It's also worth mentioning that so far we haven't interacted at all with any of the three factions. When that time comes I'll expand on who they are and so on but for right now we're just working for prominent but private townfolk.

Honky Dong Country posted:It really is a great game. It's basically the Black Company game. The only downside is trying to do a thread for it slows the pace down pretty hard but I imagine it would for most turn-based games with events and stuff requiring decisions. Streaming BB has had some success for me.

I don't think I've gotten far. I haven't actually won yet (I did well one time but then Orcs ate the world, especially all the decent towns I could use to gear up to fight them). But it showed up one day.

Also on the subject of the company retard I want to point out that even before he got his brain abused Pwince of Spess already had the Fearless trait, which gives him +10 resolve and the Athletic trait which which means he builds up 2 less fatigue each tile he travels. Pair that with his Brain Damage 25% resolve boost and basically he could charge across the field and get his head sawed off by an orc screaming forever and still not get scared before his melon hit the dirt. e: Maybe I should start doing a mercenary profile bit at the end of each post until we've gotten to know our boys.

I also just updated the waiting list and it turns out I was wrong and we're only up to 49. I'll accept one more volunteer and then I'm cutting if off for now because 50 is a shitload of dudes even for a brutal rear end game like this.

but also gently caress streaming if you wanna do gifv clips I found ScreenToGIF was good for showing my xcoms loving up shots and stuff, but part of that was because the window was so small. If you wanted to do full screens you would have to probably use the hotkeys to make it work. It does automatically upload them and you can have progress bars and poo poo but it's a little extra work to mesh it with the game and posts

SniperWoreConverse posted:but also gently caress streaming Is your thread still going? I still stand by my promise to buy an av for the top killer and top scientist, so lemme know if and when it's over and who deserves their rewards. E: as a matter of fact I'll also  on buying avs for whoever is the top killer in this game and any others I do after. So basically whoever is the baddest of the 69th will get an av and if we go on and do another game I'll buy an av for the top killer of that one and so on.

it's still going but on hiatus until I get my roof more better than it is now. We're currently in the middle of a weird slum battle that I never played before, it's like an old elevated rail station full of worms and yellows. I left someone stranded floating around near some deadly aliens and stopped to get some smokes and figure out how to get back to cover and I just didn't start it back up yet. Protag & Walrus are tied for max kills and the next few guys are a little bit behind. IIRC Walrus is only that far because of killing quite a few humans back to back like a juggernaut. Probably one of our surviving starter physicists is top nerd but that's much easier to get ahead and snag the win from the jaws of defeat
