Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG which has you leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign. Do you have what it takes to lead them through bloody battles and to victory?
The game consists of a strategic worldmap and a tactical combat layer. On the worldmap you can freely travel in order to take contracts that earn you good coin, find places worth looting, enemies worth pursuing or towns to resupply and hire men at. This is also where you manage, level up and equip your Battle Brothers. Once you engage a hostile party the game will switch to a tactical map where the actual fighting takes place as detailed turn based combat.

Try Lone Wolf origin - was revamped recently. Could be fun, with getting new bros through events and not recruiting.

Lone Wolf origin!!

The pic of Keanu Reeves/John Wick was dope, where is it from?

[@Sanches7557]

Amazing. Simo has everything for the game: a goal, a challenge, a loss of friend, a nice drip. If the soaking of stats is limitless, he will come back to the kingdom that is hunting him and raze the cities by himself!

[@Mr.Managarm]

Warrior is the true champion in this story hes gotten 6 kills, distracted 5 people from attacking you AND hunted down 2 people that you would have lost. R.I.P. Warrior 8:27-16:15

Even his name was badass. RIP doggo

I really appreciate it and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for the generosity, friend.

Begger is gonna ascend to Godhood at this rate. Keep the videos coming, Simo. I love the frequency you're putting them out at.

Consume the hearts of your enemies, gain their strength I would love to see this as a short series

[@stormtrooperkrieg]

I recommend to get axe master perk, because two handed axe, have circle attack that allow you to kill 8 enemy in one time, + axe are good destroying shields and armor.

[@anthonyjames3108]

bro not going to lie, this video really got me into battle brothers and I had to get it. It's hella fun and I've almost sank 100 hours in it already. Thank you for showing me a game i'd probably never would have noticed otherwise. Much love brother and as always looking forward to your next upload

[@Deide423]

Nice video as always! Only thing that irked me was that you didn't camp while you where doing the caravan jobs! It's a nice way to get dome extra medicine or salvage some gear while still moving, and it cost literally nothing!

[@sethleoric2598]

This game was in my wishlist for at least a year or 2 and i was very skeptical because of the bad reviews by DD and Xcom players but after watching all these videos i decided to give it a go and have no regrets.

[@mateushenriquecardoso5576]

This game is a gem

[@kunknown2340]

@@mateushenriquecardoso5576 truly is.. played 2 hours to evaluate whether it was worthy of being refunded, and ended up buying all the DLC. I could of got xcom2 and all of its dlc for like 20 bucks, and i decided to instead drop 40$ on this game... totally worth it! sorry Xcom, maybe next winter sale!

[@shahkrown]

Yoooo btw love the amount of new series you're making but I'm also a bit worried you won't finish any of them😂

Some of there aren't series they're just one offs, like this one

I would love to see more stories with Matias the once beggar and now the Warrior (keeps the name of his friend as his nickname) it would be interesting if he can clean his name to the house that wants him killed or if he cant, destroy them in a war.

[@meisterblue6333]

great to see more battle brothers content from you, damn good video

[@Zoey--]

I absolutely want to see more of this! Best Battle Brothers content I've seen.

[@Gabrygamer69420]

Hope to see another episode of this series. Battle brothers is a very fun to watch game

[@kubakowalczyk3442]

Id love to see you play more of this game its definitely a good idea for a series

[@cobito9999]

13:52 kinda sounds like that Darth Vader quote "All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men."

Hey really cool video, I love these kind of challenges. Looking forward for how Matias mercenary company will turn out!

[@Paladin4242]

Nah thoses nobles dont want to kill you, they just want to hurt you really REALLY badly

Matias Wick, ancestor of John Wick 💪

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer ... Especially when you'll face some FUN ennemies.

Watching this was so much more fun than I thought it would be, and I thought it would be really fun.

[@Matt-md5yt]

sweet, back at the Battle Brothers train I see. glad you did

[@Kagekaott]

I tried this challenge like 1 month ago in ironman, i lost like 15-20 games, but i finally did it i have the beggar at lvl 16 so overpowered that i dont need to use the rest of the party i got

[@NotSimo]

Yeah the endgame is insane the end of this video isn't even close to how powerful the beggar can get

[@Kagekaott]

​​@@NotSimo the best enemy the beggar can kill in the mid game is the minstrel if i remember well, that one have mind over body, and for early the barbarians are really good, they have i think 3-4 really good skills

[@illuminati5664]

"Matias just became a medieval version of John Wick" yes he did xD

It's been a minute since I've seen Simo go full laughing bloodthirster lol.

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

If you can hold out on spending your stat lvl ups, you can maximize your stat gain. Taking perks is fine though. Since you can only absorb stats from stronger opponents, using lvl ups early will make it harder to absorb stats. It might be tough at first but pays in the long run. Side note: the banner with the dude holding his own head while it rains blood…easily the best banner in the game.

14:32 Imagine the POV of that last guy. Just wakes up, gonna be a nice day of looting, and would you look at that a single man with a dog killed all of my friends and is now sprinting towards me. How nice.

[@OutrageousOnPurpose]

This game deserve lots of love! Its not the kind of game that gets enough attention on youtube and in general :C liked and subscribed

[@evilmanua]

couple of tips. Don`t increase your stats for the first 11lvl(or at all) you steal when enemy has lower stats that you, perk wise, go for rotation+pathfinder+reach, goal is to steal kills, not wound enemies. Until you can get lone-wolf + underdog + battleforge/nimble, avoid fighting alone. Due to design, it is impossible to trigger crisis with only one person, not cool. You can scale really fast, after you can solo fight, thugs and raiders. Cool scenario for one-two playthroughs, gets quite boring when you can solo noble army.

[@WiFye]

Started from the drains, and now we're drippin. SHEEEEEEEESH

[@xdjzreaper1016]

From the looks of it, the scaling beggar challenge is like one of those anime or manga protagonist where the mc starts off weak unit he/she discovers that they have the ability copy or steals there opponents ability and become a OP

Heard Wartales is a great middle ground of Battle Brothers & MnB so maybe a bandit only challenge

Already recorded a video on it, comin out soon :)

Scaling beggar is honestly how I learned to play the game. I didn't get it until I played scaling beggar. Genuinely still one of my most fun playthroughs too, even though I have a few hundred hours under my belt since then.

Any one else thinking medieval John wick would be one hell of a movie

[@Killy5445]

Man i hope u continue this playthru

[@anwd8646]

I can imagine that Matias, upon seeing the death of his noble hound, true to it’s name die, was so fuelled by bloodlust, grief, and pure unadulterated hatred that he tore that necromancer’s head off doom glory kill style.

I like this series already. 👌

Hi simo I love what you doing and i hope you keep going on and on make it a revenge type of a series
