    Recruit titles are actually very important thing to look into. Titles like "quick" or "Strong" usually correspond with positive perk aswell as titles like "craven", "fat" or "the dastard" corresponds with negative perks. Most of the time you can distinguish decent recruits without paying to try them out which is rather high price in early game.

There is no downtime. You go straight to the point. You know exactly what you want to say and dont lose anyone's time saying it.
    Its honestly so refreshing to find someone like you that doesnt repeat everything a thousand time and that has an actual structure for his tutorial videos. Like every second of this video is making me learn something.

  • @mrbluebell2735
    @mrbluebell2735 4 года назад +10

    Biggest gameplay change after looking at multiple BB runs by filthy is to stack melee attack on the highest skill bro. That's a bro with a spetum/warfork/pike/billhook consistently nailing a target under total surround by the fodder. A billhook armed companion will usually OHKO a thug or helmetless raider 3 out of 4 tries. Most new hires in the same position hit 3 out of 5 tries. Early game damage soak and landing one additional hit tends to be the difference between a squad wipe and success.

    Little tip for the beast fighting missions. I lure the damn things into a neutral party and then attack them so I have extra meatshields distracting them. Hell even other bandits work as theyll still be foes but theyll attack each other. Found that out when a party of barbarians was close by a clear zombies location mission.

      i didn't know town would not like it, but i did always watch how their comments would change the tone from happier to be more and more annoyed.. thought it was just that one guy giving the mission not liking to bargain - not the whole city :-o
      also on one mission i got basically 2 options:
      - return a jewel for decent amount of money and reputation for the guy (i guess also the town cuz doing successful missions increases the friendliness)
      - give jewel to someone else for more than 2x the prize i would had gotten returning it but "i" (the guy we play as) made a comment that it would have negative effect on the dude we did that mission for (i guess i should had understood the town would had gotten hit for it too)
      i guess there are enough hints so some smarter people could put things together and figure out how missions affect the status - but yeah, lack of tutorial or visible stats makes it bit harder

    I'm hoping someone could give some tips about this. I have the early game down pretty well. But I get caught up towards the mid-late game transition where I end up with mediocre brothers because I carried my early-mid game brothers. So let's say I have a lvl 11 brother whose stats are normal at best. Should I scrap him and hire new stronger brothers like the Hedge Knights? How do you transition from early game to late game?
