![]() And while with a Hedge Knight you know you’ll be getting a beast of man, there’s always the chance that you’ll find that random exceptional Farmhand that is even stronger and more physically fit – the Hedge Knight is just guaranteed to be at a good level. What does that mean? Well, you can find characters skilled in ranged combat with all kinds of backgrounds, some even more skilled than the Hunter you’ve just hired – but the Hunter is guaranteed to know how to use a bow and will always come with a good level of ranged skill now. Instead of rolling stats in the same range for all characters and then having the background add a flat amount on top, backgrounds now have their very own min and max values when rolling for each stat. To address these points, we’ve changed how character stats are determined. We want to have some diversity in the player’s rosters and not just two or three different backgrounds with the rest essentially skipped. Das Entwicklerteam ließ nach eigenen Angaben Einflüsse aus UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-COM: UFO Defense), Warhammer: Im Schatten der gehörnten Ratte und Jagged Alliance in ihr Spiel einfließen. This is a problem because it quickly divides backgrounds into those considered must-have, and those considered bad and only to be hired at the start of the game, outside of roleplaying reasons. Battle Brothers wurde vom unabhängigen deutschen Entwicklerstudio Overhype Studios in Hamburg entwickelt. There is no single Farmhand that can match a Hedge Knight in strength, anywhere. A Hedge Knight is always better than a Farmhand overall. The second issue is that because backgrounds change a character’s stats by a fixed amount, it makes things too predictable on other occasions. This is understandably frustrating for players that are explicitly looking for a ranged character and have invested quite a bit of crowns. A hunter is someone you’d want to hire when looking for a ranged specialist – yet with an unlucky roll you can end up with a guy quite bad with ranged weapons, despite the Hunter background adding a flat amount of ranged skill. The first issue is that because characters have randomized stats within a certain range to reflect different talents and dispositions, it’s sometimes hard to predict their stats based on their background. However, there are two issues with how character backgrounds work currently. ![]() It determines their starting stats, their traits and factors into events involving the character. The background of a character, essentially what they did before joining up with you to become a mercenary, is an especially defining factor of who they are today. ![]() That’s why we keep adding new faces, hairstyles, items and background stories all the time. Hiring new mercenaries is a core part of the gameplay of Battle Brothers and we put a lot of effort into making characters feel as unique and memorable as possible.
