It's Pillaging Time! - Battle Brothers: Legends Mod (Legendary Difficulty) - #1

It's time Northerners! We're back for the next season of Battle Brothers! For this season as suggested at the end of the last, we are going to playing with the Northern Raiders background where five long years have passed since the end of the last season, picking up with a new group not too far east from where we left off. But their motives and the way they get things done is VERY different to anything we've played before so I'm just as excited as you are to play as them.
We will be playing it on the Battle Brothers Legends Mod, set on its Legendary Difficulty which is unique to the Legends Mod and I'm sure it will get us into some seriously sticky situations! Time to start the adventures of the Wildly Aggravated Northern Korps of Experienced Raiders! (Yes you abbreviated that correctly)
The list of Mods being used in this series:
- Battle Brothers Legends Mod (www.nexusmods.com/battlebroth...)
- Better Battle Standard (www.nexusmods.com/battlebroth...)
- Tamed Wolf Fix (www.nexusmods.com/battlebroth...)
- Better Veteran Stamina (www.nexusmods.com/battlebroth...)

Hi there Northern, cant wait for the next videos, can I have a brother named Phil, make him any form of frontliner, the title you can pick one along the way if he's earned it. Thanks, I'm going to definitely enjoy this one Backstory for Phil: Phil is a old raggedy man who had gotten tired of life in his village and has decided to die on the battlefield. He spent his life being a dependable character in his community and whishes' to be the same in the next chapter of his life.

[@NorthernSoulGaming]

Phil is added to the list, when his time is upon us, we will see the glory of this old man (or possibly short lived glory..)

[@vitinhojn991]

One build u could go with hillidar is tô specialize in slings, late game heavy sling with that headshot bônus dmg is very strong, might even get some bonuses with The flail skilltree gives tô hs dmg

[@NorthernSoulGaming]

We have a specific slinger who'll be going down the sling route. The subscriber behind Hilidar doesn't want to specialise in slings and would prefer to stick to bows.

Long time lurker and viewer and first time commenter here! Looking forward to the new series. I'd like to submit my name to the pool of bros too- Fluffard the Janitor- I have no preference for build/background but it would be amusing to be a painfully mediocre brother who somehow scammed his way into a band of warriors.

[@NorthernSoulGaming]

You're on the list! Painfully mediocre coming up although can't guarantee how long you'll be kicking but I'm sure it'll be a laugh

[@blitzthethunder0137]

Hello northern I just discovered your channel with the N.O.B series and loved it! Also I would like to add myself to the list for this series if there is space. I would like to be a militia/daytaler as a big tanky collossus with super heavy armor with bf and brawny with the name Doruk 'The Blitz' thanks in advance! Backstory: Doruk was a son of a blacksmith in a small village. During his childhood his town was safe but all he kept hearing was that the wars were going around and the soldiers were fighting to the death. He grew up with these sounds and these were the thing that made the him gain enough confidence to fight and die like his childhood heroes.

Added to the list and welcome to the north!

[@crimsonsamurai77]

Glad to see the you back in action with Battle Brothers :) Would love to see a 2H or 1H Axe man named Valaska if you have room. Perks are up to you as long as he can swing a mighty axe (or even throw a few!) in the name of the Wankers!

[@NorthernSoulGaming]

Sure thing, I'll get Valaska added to the list! Since you haven't had a character before I'm sure we'll be seeing them sooner rather than later since I work on new person priority. Might aim to find a lumberjack to give the axe build that helping hand!

Is there any chance to get a summary of what has happened in the multiverse, any iconic characters? Asking the chat and BB. I'm currently in the middle of the oath takers playlist.

[@NorthernSoulGaming]

How far are you into the oathtakers series? Just don't want to spoil loads of stuff really.

[@Amarok22]

@@NorthernSoulGaming just starting episode 20, which is just a short time after the first crisis I believe.

[@Amarok22]

Actually now that I started it back again it seems it's the holy war now. I did watch the last couple of episodes while playing myself so did not pay as much attention apparently.

[@NorthernSoulGaming]

To be fair you're also slightly testing my memory as real time it was about a year ago! In terms of iconic characters, like man almost all the characters by the end of the NOBs are practically iconic. A few favourites of mine would be Rust, Gegi, Rodrik, Eldrac but I could go on. Every by the end adds such a depth to the overarching story. For the Anatomist playthrough (The CHODEs), there's a few to look out for when you get to it. Paul, Dalton, Maximus, Fidel, Wayne, Michael, Terra, Darth (The CHODE series has many more characters on the go due to the stronghold mod) and so many more. There's a brotherly ongoing event structure with Centurious and Kolgan, it's all very fun and on the level. But to summarise, The NOBs are first and live on the Northern Continent of Ultaria, specifically the Arcvas region. And that season is first and foremost tracking down the dastard oathbringers and then raising up a contigent big and famous enough to defend the northern continent (With mixed results!) The CHODEs are next and is set about 20 years later, they're technically a subsect of the NOBs but I won't spoil too much on how. That series is set on the Eastern continent of Calaren in the region of Aldrip. That series is very much naratively set in the "making the best super soldiers through experimentation the world has ever seen" as well as making a permanent residence for themselves in the region and slowly but surely becoming a Citadel of scientists that you wouldn't want to mess with And then the new group (I won't spoil the name for anyone who might be reading this before watching the episode) are 5 years in the future from that and reside in the same continent as before but a more eastern region called Baldruun and the big thing of this season is to make the most terrifying warband the world ever did see and go beat up the CHODEs for what they did (Also I won't spoil that connection!). All the names of the continents etc are a bit retroactive so you won't hear them mentioned in the NOB series and most of the CHODE series but they'll be prevalent going forward. Hope that helps! It's also sometimes best to hear from the horses mouth so if you've ever interested in hearing stories from the subscribers behind all the characters in past, present and future feel free the join the discord and come chat with them in the BB channel!

I'll add Valney The Second to the list so we'll see when his turn comes up! (If I know legendary difficulty at all, it'll probably ramp up very shortly and tear a lot of brothers a new one)

[@loulzy8471]

NorthernSoul plays as northern barbarians. This is going to be fun! If you're still open to new brothers, I'd wanted to commit an archer named Slavoj Zizek. He is a historian, dissapointed in how the modern technologies are destroying our world, and he will never wield any "technical" gear (be it a gun, potion or even a crossbow!).

[@NorthernSoulGaming]

Historian, very fun! Not many people go for that one but it is an interesting and sometimes important background so of course I'll add you to the list! Historians can be a bit rarer to find though so I'll just be as and when one pops up! I guess Slavoj and Wayne aren't going to get on too well..
