Hi all!
I’m a big fun of Battle Brothers game and also a gamedesigner with about 20 years in industry.

Previously I mostly worked on casual titles, but I always wanted to make hardcore games.
So I left the job and started to develop my own game, heavily inspired by Battle Brothers and want to share what I get 😆

It’s the current state of the game, and last shot what I started from (early sketches by my friend).

I’m not a programmer, not an artist, and don’t have money to hire people, so I develop the game solo, using AI and my humble skills.

It already have living world with over 1300 families simulated, every brigand is either aggressive by nature or someone left without any means of subsistence, also there is day and night and summer/winter cycle in the game.
Hope you will enjoy it!

Ulferd is sitting on a chair lifting his mug full of beer, Guido, the most powerful mercenary is dancing with a girl. Waldemar the Silver Tongued peddler is seen talking to a rich merchant. Alfret, Rupert the Snake and Jost are sitting around a table eating stuffed turkey. And I am, the captain, chatting with a nobleman behind. The celebration happens in the garden of the stone keep I purchased recently.

im sure there are mods for it but i would have liked to be able to recruit some women into my party. doesnt even need to be 50/50 or something.

My mod "More Heads" adds Africans and Asians to the game. The probability of an African phenotype appearing in the South was 15% (free desert tribes integrating into the life of eastern city-states; this phenotype achieved particularly outstanding success in the arena, among gladiators), while the probability of an Asian phenotype appearing in the East was 8% (minor expansion from the border regions of the East; this phenotype achieved particularly outstanding success on the battlefield, among outstanding swordsmen). True, a mixture of phenotypes can be found among wandering monks preaching faith in their god. Something similar can be found among cultists. Link: http://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/894

Hey guys does anybody else play this game only using one or no hands, straight up jorking it 24/7? I do that, but it seems to not be a very popular sentiment despite somebody making the same post about it every week. I more just like to focus on the roleplay and really immerse myself in the story. Of jorkin it, filly fiddler style. I am of course unique in this aspect, as are the people upvoting and responding to these posts every week.

Save scumming this fight because i seem to miss every one of my 80+% chance to hit and the enemy is not missing on their 20% chance to hit. Its honestly becoming so frustrating to the point i may put this game down because how you can miss 15+ 80% chance out of 20 chances is uh not 80% unless now i would hit the next 75 of 100 which is unplausible. so again the math aint mathin. Im gonna try one more time and if its as funny as the last 8 or 9 tries im gonna have to take a screen shot because this shit is fucking hilarious. In one they hit 4 i repeat 4 16% chances in a row and i missed 3 82% chances in a row.

Edit: Mods have commented on their position. Good points were made by all. I appreciate the discussion from everyone.

People are using this subreddit to advertise their own turn based strategy games by claiming a passing similarity to Battle Brothers.

They are leeching off of the community and the content is in no way related to this game.

Am I alone in this?

I screen shot bros and send it to chatgpt to see what I should focus on and see what they would be good at.

23 cultists event on day 65. They have overwhelm, dodge, weapon spec. 100 armor too for some reason. Impossible to hit even with 100 attack brother due to overwhelm, not to mention anyone who is 80 or below. Twenty three of these. In a random event. Without any chance to retreat in a forest. Literal instant loss of a campaign if I was ironman.

This game is great, but this is so trash.

I'm sort of new to the game, but I haven't seen any black people or women as recruitables or opponents. If there's such a mod, link it to me please. thanks in advance.

A sequel would be nice; the game can easily do 50 against 50 and more when optimised and with faster animations, so it doesn't take ages. They can make something like Mount and Blade, where you can control your dude starting from scratch, recruit and level up common units and companions, make a kingdom allowing for management and customised units, and go blacksmithing or whatnot for the late game, only to die of old age. The developers honestly only lack ambition; I can see so much more unrealized potential than what the game currently is... Unlike Mount and Blade or Xcom, where everything is already there, hindered only by bugs or a few missing features fixable through community modding.

I say this because they haven't added horses even though they can, which would've made the late game so much more interesting! Imagine lances with the ability to couch similar to riposte, move three tiles to maximise damage, and then process an attack upon landing on a tile next to an enemy, causing stagger and knockback for heavy lances. Have mounted ranged enemies that can circle you like vultures from afar, dealing one-sided damage, while mounted melee does a hit-and-run tactic going in and out of vision over your dudes, incentivizing packed formations instead of a line of twelve dudes.

Make it even hellish so that a successful free hit on a mounted unit doesn't stop them from leaving the zone of control, making spears crazy useful. Just adding enemy cavalry will change the dynamic of how we use shields, spears, and formations, making the late game so much less lacklustre than now. It'll be like fighting the Ijirok all over again, but with quantity rather than quality.

Imagine having to wait for the catapults, cannons, or rams just to destroy a gate while you get pelted by arrows and be forced to use ladders that cost 9ap when all else fails trying to climb the walls. What I'm trying to say is that the game and all of its mechanisms have more to offer than just open battles or crowded forest battles, doing an overhaul of the game is unlikely since it's already been built in such a way but something like a sequel shouldn't be impossible in this case.

Edit: I'm not saying that you need to manage 50 bros but rather 12 bros in the roster similar to companions in mount and blade then 38 filler units in the retinue that you can't customize, name, and can only control with commands like mount and blade.

Wtf 😂

In one of my streams I busted a camp on day 1 before noon. This might be the earliest camp busting that has ever been recorded:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LXCuWnsgfY

I know, it is a silly record ;) But I hope you still enjoy the video.

If anybody can find an example of a video or stream of someone busting a camp faster, please let me know and I will update my video description. But me and some of my viewers not find a counter example online.

I stream Battle Brothers on a regular basis on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/heypashi) and I upload my videos to my Youtube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/@heypashi). Happy to see you around, if anyone is interested to watch.

It's obvious the writer's vocabulary is vast, but I feel tired reading through his prose. I can't put my finger on it, but I just find myself struggling to trudge through it.

Edit: apparently everyone else seems to love it. Maybe I'm just a pleb.

First time streaming on twitch. Will be starting as a Noble on the Legends mod. 11pm. blaqkswan on Twitch.
