Originally posted by Darkwing: I just started playing the game; downloaded it ages ago but was hooked on Battle Brothers and couldn't peel myself away to try anything else.

Coming in as a newcomer, the campaign feels pretty good to me. I think part of the backlash might be that so many folks were playing early access and once you've learned the game in survival mode, learned all of the units/buildings/enemies, going into campaign which starts you off with very limited choices would not be very fun at all. But as a newcomer who is learning about the game in each mission, it feels pretty good.

That said, I'm pretty sympathetic to a lot of the criticisms - pixel hunting, forced ironman, crazy difficult swarm levels. But still, would definitely be giving the game a big thumbs up - and I think most of the negative reviews would, too, if this had been their FIRST experience of the game.

Originally posted by LordM: SO, I am at 46% in the campaign, all played on nightmare difficulty. Now comes a new difficulty, do you expect me replay 20+ missions? Are the 70k victory points even achievable on nightmare or you just realized you are missing some points, so added a new difficulty???

Hello

You have already two options, you can use the option “retry” in every mission after finish it, and change the difficulty to the new one and try the apocalypse, is a real big difference, the last option is finish the current game and restar it again, it is a way to enjoy the game twice

Thanks

Hi!!

Originally posted by Messiah of Melons: Repeating a mission, especially a hero mission, after dieing right at the end feels super ♥♥♥♥♥♥. My current options are repeat a hero mission for the 4th time or totally restart coast of bones.

Honestly i dont want to even go back to the campaign now. Id much rather play survival mode. Definatly need a mid mission check point or save system. So whem you die you dont have to start the ENTIRE thing again.

But ofc, still count it as a defeat. Just a simple restart from day x, would be plenty, and count it as a defeat. This isnt complaint about difficulty or the hero missions being slow. This is just about having to repeat long missions bevause you lose at the very end

Check this update! Maybe you would like it.

Originally posted by Baron: I just played one mission with the new test branch update and can say that the difference was significant. Especially the soldiers fired much (much!) more efficiently. The whole mission went a lot smoother since clearing the roaming infected did not drag so much anymore.

Effectively this made the mission so easy that I had to double check if I was still on the same difficulty level (I... might have failed it a few times before^^).
I guess this could solve a lot of the issues that people are having with difficulty, especially swarm missions. Have not tried since I have no time now, but maybe this is a breakthrough.
I hope I am not just imagining this.
To think that so much of the anger about diff...

Originally posted by Bergstein McShekelnose: Will 1.0.6 also be the same patch that fixes zombie kill count on campaigns to count towards achievements?

Yes, it is the one on the test version.

Originally posted by Yiven: Why would you make Oil required to fix Executors? It was the only per made starting towers worth anything. WHY would I keep it around when I can just make them when I get Oil...guess its back to deleting everything.

Hello,

You know that every building or tower need a % of the resourcers need for being constructed so if you need to fix the Executor you need oil.

Hi!

Some players have complained that in the new version the units waste shots attacking the same target that is going to be killed by another unit.

We were surprised because that part of the AI ​​has not been modified in 1.0 so they should work the same. We have done tests and sometimes it is true that some shots are wasted.

We have been investigating what has happened and we already know what happens. In V.1.0 we have improved the reactivity of the AI ​​of the units so that they react much faster to the enemies. Well it turns out that they react so fast that now it can happen that several units decide their actions exactly at the same time (TAB uses multicore) so they shoot at the same time and effectively some shot is wasted.

For version 1.0.6 we have added a small random offset (<1ms) to the reaction time for the AIs to react more neatly and avoid this problem.

Version 1.0.6 is active in the Test branch that you can activate from Ste... Read more
