and then, they actually delivered all these additions in a timely fashion. In this day and age, that's... amazing!!
A thing only possible today in Eastern Europe. This game is developed in Eastern Europe isn't it?

Honestly, I'll gladly take the max fatigue gain you get from no longer beeing fat. Not a big fan of yo-yoing between fat and normal, makes a build for the brother more difficult.

Edit: reply to drew.

My sergeant-retardedired soldier once got fat perk. With his own penalty to max fatique he dropped to 45 or something like this. It was terrible.

fat perk is shit since hp is fucking useless in this game especially late game where you want your brothers to have fatigue so they can perform and not waste turns exhausted getting each other killed.

I got excited because in my Steam Library it said, "Battle Brothers [beta]" which made me think the beta had landed for everyone who bought the game, but alas, it seems not.

hmmm, strange, the game won't start once I pick my unit name, banner, and difficulty. It just hangs on the loading screen...

The developers Let's play is kinda nice in talking you through what is going on and why in the game.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/user/OverhypeStudiosDev/videos

Start maybe with the first Let's play there, to get the basic stuff as I believe the later Let's plays mostly discuss new stuff that was added at the time and are about more advanced concepts.

I started playing MOTB but may put it aside because the game is so fucking ugly... Nice soundtrack tho!

The guy in question

Wasn't too bothered by his minimal stamina since his only job was to stand in front and not die

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
The two guys with spears might have started the fight with shields, you won't see that at the victory screen if they got destroyed.

Do bigger orcs ever become feasibly "easy"? Young orcs are no problem with my squad but
I just completely wiped on a group of 5 young and 5 warriors
They just have so much hp, and lots of armor, and shields, I feel as though I'd need to fully invest in good flails to ignore shields or good axes to break through them on turn one.
How do you guys deal with their leap stuns? When I'm only facing young I feel as though I can afford to simply eat the stun as I'm not likely to take a whole lot of damage in a single turn, but I don't think I can be as careless with warriors.

i find that having 2 bros with 2handed hammers and 2 bros with 1handed hammers makes easier to battle orc parties with 5-10 warriors,although i usually have 1-2 bro fatalities
