Some thoughts on perk choices, but almost all are viable really Levelling the Company ‘Padded Leather’ is a solid choice as it’s very cheap, along with maybe ‘Leather Lamellar Armour’ for your best brother (anything 70+ works right now). So don’t blow your cash on men and instead pick up some armour. It also advantages small well-equipped parties over an unarmoured mob. This makes it possible to rebuild, or “ Build Back Better”, as every politician would say nowadays, after a pyrrhic victory. The game scales based on the size of your party. It’s now time to start equipping your recruits. Hunters make the best archers, but they tend to be pretty pricey for the very early game. A Priest can make a good bannerman but not much else.

Farmhands aren’t quite what they used to be since a patch but still worth picking up. I checked, and it turned out the Miner beats the Deserter in every stat except stamina the Deserter’s resolve was so low he was barely usable.īe on the lookout for Brawlers, Miners, Butchers and Fishermen. Also, a bow does not mean a character is going to have ranged skill, so I would need to buy a new weapon on top of the steep asking price. I passed on the Deserter because they are often pretty bad due to low resolve. Weirdly, he turned out better than the Brawler. However, the screenshots are going to be coming from a veteran difficulty playthrough, just to prove if it really works.īrawler is one of the best super-cheap backgrounds, and Miners are decent too the Shepherd I just grabbed because he was cheap. (Late game crises can be left on random). Pick the easiest choice for all three options and take the ‘Rebuilding the Company’ origin. You are really going to want to start out on the lowest setting, at least until you get comfortable enough to bump it up with a second or third company. Listen! This is not like any other game you’ve played (unless you’ve played modded XCOM, in which case: yeah, it’s a bit like that).

You might notice a little hint in the bottom right of your screen telling you to play on the lowest difficulty. The first thing you need to do is to choose your settings. When you first meet a Necrosavant, I want you to still be thinking, “What on earth is a Necrosavant?” but I also want to give you a decent chance of actually surviving it. There will, however, be some longer-term combat tips at the end. As such, I’m going to avoid spoilers as much as possible since exploration is a big part of the fun. This is not that, and the choices are going to be made simply with the goal of getting you started in Battle Brothers so you can really enjoy figuring out the minutiae of the game for yourself. Many guides on builds and backgrounds will talk right away on which choices will position you well for taking on The Black Monolith, for example. The goal of this guide is to get you to the point where your company is in a comfortable position.
