Lok’tar Humans! Azbolg the Gaming Orc here to share some tips and tricks with you about this cool turned based strategy game called Battle Brothers. Here is some footage of me fighting a deadly camp army of ghouls. Read the description of the video for the text list of the tips!

1. Explore the map to find new enemy bases to fight.
2. Scout them out to see if you can take them over, I found that each one corresponds to your level, and you level to 5 pretty quick, so you can scale up very quickly and attack even deadly ones once you get to level 6 or so with most of your mercs.
3. Have a diverse group.
a. I have 4-5 of my group are archers, and they all get back up loot to start with in case they have to go hand to hand.
b. Try to have only 1 guy use a two hander
c. I have about 2-3 tanks which spec in the defensive tree to allow archers and flankers to get in.
d. Crossbows are ok, but only can shoot 1 round off, but you can run and fire the last shot in close combat before swapping weapons. This is good if you want to pick up Close Combat Archer in the tier 2 Offensive tree.
e. Javelins are pretty powerful don’t underestimate them.
4. Archery and javelins are very powerful. The key is waiting for your enemy so your front line troops can see the enemy charge, like ghouls which can only attack melee, and all Orcs. Poor Orcs.
5. There is pretty much no reason to not use a shield. A good combo is to maybe pick up quick hands in the Utility tree, so you have a roman like strategy, which is to throw javelin’s at your enemies then attack them with melee when they engage you. 1 javelin can kill a mob without a shield.
6. When you get to be about level 3-4 you will have 1000s of gold. This is where towns will have the best loot and soldiers. Restock though because supplies can be hard to come by on deep treks into the wilderness.
7. Armor is the most valuable item in the game, it keeps you alive. Buy the best armor when you can.
8. The billhook is a very powerful melee weapon. It hits like a truck, and also hits two spaces away. So you can put these troops behind front line defenders and really mow through opponents.
9. Riposte only if you are going to get attacked by two mobs, the AI is smart and will try to avoid attacking you to be reposted as well.
10. Later on food and supplies are pretty cheap, no reason not to buy a lot of them just in case.
11. In the offensive mercs I spec in this order: FAST ADAPTATION, SUNDERING STRIKES, EXECUTIONER, BESERK, (BULLSEYE for archers), HEAD HUNTER, KILLING FRENZY.
12. For defensive mercs I spec: COLOSSUS, SHIELD EXPERT, BATTLEFORGED, FORTOFIED MIND (for undead battles), STEEL BROW, RETURN FAVOR.
13. For utility mercs I spec: STUDENT, FAST ADAPTAION (in offensive tree), PATHFINDER, QUICK HANDS, FOOTWORK, FEARSOME, INSPIRING PRESENCE (undead battles).

And that’s it! Enjoy the rest of the video if you want to see me win against this DEADLY boss camp, and like, subscribe, and I’ll see you in the battlefields human!
