Now is certainly the right time for feature requests, so I'd like an option for automatic pause on world map when your company has no movement commands and automatic unpause when you issue further movement commands. (ie. like in Mount&Blade.)

Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy Codex Year of the Donut Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I'm at 30 days in now, but I'm stuck in this money-supply loop. I do a mission, gets a lot of dudes wounded, some die and so on, weapons gets bent. I get back to town, collect money, buy tools, herbs and food. And so it goes forever and ever :)

Also had a brutal as hell battle. Fought a bandit group with a lot of archers and some brigands I think they are called (the guys with heavier armor). They guys with armor just hung back with the archers and pelted my dudes. It was like the Normandie landing. Think they had 4 with bows, and 2 with crossbows. I won but at a heavy cost.

The game is alot about learning which enemies to avoid. The next step is winning that crucial battle vs. better equipped but outnumbered opponents. If you have a little surplus you can try to locate an impending raider attack and help the militia/guard, which usually results in some good loot. Also there is no shame in running like a sissy.

Yeah, I'm doing exactly that actually. Felt a bit scummy though. I got a mission to kill some direwolves terrorizing some town. They wolves spotted me and started to follow, and I ran down the road into another mercenary company that got ambushed by the creatures. I of course let them fight for a while then jumped in and well took the glory. I guess there is no honor between mercenary companies :)

Dead guys can have honour, nothing scummy about killing others mercs.
I take the coin and the weapons instead.

rapsdjff I have a problem installing the update. Whenever I try playing the game, even when I uninstall and reinstall, Steam tells me that BattleBrothers.exe is a "locked content file". "An error occured: content file locked".

This hasn't happened in the older version. This only happens now and I have no idea wtf is going on.
Some other dude on a Discord I'm in said he has the same problem.
What's going on?

I don't know, but it's a problem with Steam, not the game. Try restarting Steam, rebooting, or installing the game to another location.

rapsdjff you guys need to implement some kind of question box (Maybe make it a toggle in options?) about leaving the loot or using the skill "Round Swing" because I've killed few of my guys by mistake using round swing instead of "destroy shield" :/
2nd time in my 52days game I lost legendary items because I haven't had any space in the inventory left and quickly pressed "OK" without realizing it will vanish. I'd love to see something asking me if I'm sure that I want to leave those items.

I know. I'm rushing sometimes :P

To guys in need of monies there is one advise - rob caravan. You must chose wisely though because I pissed of a really good city and now I cant trade cool stuff, and all south part of a map is a no go zone for me (damn patrols).
Oh and war scythe is absolutely the beast weapon!

Damn criminal!

Can you get friendly with a town that considers you hostile?

I don't think so, I attacked one caravan of a city that I was friendly with and once they turned hostile from that I couldn't interact with the town in any way.

How do you gain positive value of the reputation next to renown btw? I assume negative comes from raiding caravans and peasants.

In previous version ( after failed contract ) after some time they forgave my band.

I wasn't planning on posting these so a lot is missing but here are the adventures of the company with Kurt the Monk turned Flagellant who gets injured a lot.

Start. Oh, god it's so far way.

Third or fourth contract, raiders plundering a cemetery. Lost my best recruit and one of my starting guys got a permanent injury. The looted weapons and armor go a long way this early in the game though.

Nice rolls there, champ (note: Ernst died in a direwolf attack soon after)
Gk8rSGm.jpg


Alwin holds the bandits back while the second line showers them with bolts. Fun.
yIDZPD3.jpg


Stylish helmet. Heavy though.
hnh5c8x.jpg


Raiders with a leader. Nice armor.
JSQTxJA.jpg


Into the net you go.

Kurt has so many effects they don't fit in his bar now.
bJmANIT.jpg


This was supposed to be an easy caravan job.
os35yzl.jpg


Aww shit

eIXphPE.jpg


that went better than expected
9ZwOZOo.jpg


We euphoric now.
IYapOTq.jpg


I Hired a historian. Nice talents.
hZvOPNk.jpg


First 3-skull contract that will also fulfill the ambition of defeating 12+ enemies. There's a lot of them but as long as I can start killing them first and they don't overwhelm me it should be fine.
F1Zywd1.jpg


Oh.
8djwQWq.jpg


My historian scores a lucky hit with a crossbow too, 1-1. There's the leader. Nice armor you've got there.
Aj08x15.jpg


Thinning out the first line.
vLM3Wz7.jpg


Going strong. Kurt gets 2 injuries from the archers in the meantime.
bnsJ4iu.jpg


They're retreating but the leader is already engaged in combat.
7thizwC.jpg


Man down. The leader is getting surrounded.
m7HECO8.jpg


It's time.
ixBj0so.jpg


He broke out from the net, but it's way too late.
Azh2me4.jpg


Yes.
VUtnCdA.jpg


Tobjoern the historian got 3 kills in his first battle. My starting bro lives.
3dIDI2o.jpg


5nurIoV.jpg


Nice rolls too.
IN6z1xY.jpg


That's his 100% euphoric face.
XYeJAVY.jpg


Tower of goblins.
MEmGb3T.jpg


Alwin got pushed into a hole. He can't get out. They rescued him after the goblins were killed.

That's it for now.

Seems to take a lot longer for a town to forgive you now though.

And I can't even do some contracts for them because they don't even let me in the city (screen), all I did was not preventing a Brother to beat up some peasents.

How much renown do I need to reach glorious level? I think I chose wrong ambition, cuz curently I'm on ~1400, day 52.
Update: Looks like I need 2750 and I got 18 days.

To pay premium price. And I've waited so long already. I generally avoid EA games after Darkest Dungeon
