They made a real cool special encounter where you pick 1 brother to fight one bad ass barbarian. Since I'm playing a Lone Wolf origin, I picked my avatar. I won't spoil it but if you win you get a real nice weapon.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Honestman is harder than Ironman sometimes. But I figure if I only use predetermined saves and not the autosaves, I would often lose hours of playtime if I reload. That probably means I will at least have to think hard about reloading…
Don't have to worry about it quite yet though, I'll savescum some more first.
Will also start a new game at Beginner difficulty, like many others I always have a problem with picking the easiest choice, but it seems warranted with this game.
EDIT: Just bought both the DLC's as well. Time to get cracking…or dying. Probably dying.
For some of the new players that got the game, what are your thoughts on BB and the new DLC? Would love to hear some comments, good and bad.

I think you have to fundamentally enjoy tactical squad-based, turn-based combat for itself to truly enjoy Battle Brothers.
It's very hard to compare to other games and is very unique.
Throw Total War out because real time strategy games are awful in my humble opinion. I stopped playing them after Warcraft 2 and one of the early Red Alerts.
HoMM 3, one of my favorite games, is a 4x strategy game. So I would not compare it to any Heroes game either.
I guess that's one of the reasons I love BB. It's very hard to compare to other games and is very unique. I've been playing games since Pong and I would not compare BB to anything I've played.
BB is not hard, it is tedious. Succeeding requires stacking simple to execute tasks.
Players are more or less inclined to do so. They prefer to play something else than BB, they reject simple ways of succeeding. They do not stick to the design.
Opening a door as it is designed is simple. Yet when people figure out that there is an empty space at the bottom of a door and decide it is a better way of trying to crawl under it, then what is meant to be simple turns suddenly difficult.
It is quoted. The quotation is key.I said it's hard to compare not that the game is hard. Let's see if Chien will ever admit he's wrong I still say he won't even though what he stated is 100% wrong.
Sure, BB is just as hard as it is to compare it to a game. Which is very hard, was not done in the thread, no.Playing the game on hardest setting and ironman with no alt-f4 would be very hard in my opinion.
Relevant question when considering the unabated love shown on this site for products meant to cater for streamers'needs.Isn't this a gaming website? Aren't you suppose to be on a watching website.
Just like playing stuff like TW3 has a cost, playing stuff like BB has a cost.Why do I give myself headaches trying to understand him.
TW isn't exactly real time since you can (and will…) pause to give orders etc and not comparable to something like Warcraft 2.. BB is only unique on a surface level, but i do agree that it's not a complete clone of e.g HoMM, but not far from it. Almost everything in it can be translated over to existing mechanics / gameplay elements in something like HoMM or King's Bounty. Its lacking a few things and might be adding perhaps 1 or 2 elements that they don't have.
