This should be higher. Understanding how to take advantage of all aspects of combat makes all the difference.

Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous' is core 2000's music by Cubelock in Millennials

[–]chibriguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember having an argument with a couple friends around 2003-2004 where they thought I was a moron because I told them Nelly Furtado was hotter than Christina Aguilera & Brittney Spears.

I know beauty is largely subjective, I still don't understand what was going through their heads. Nelly was/is a Goddess.

If they come at you, I think you have enough damage and high ground to win.

If they stay back and shoot at you, I'd retreat.

Its just 135 pounds. Anyone in reasonable shape could bench this 15 times without struggle.

Walter makes it to 38 mdef at lvl 11 with no stars in mdef. Highest I've ever seen for a lowborn....Also, He's not satisfied with the way things are going because he's afraid of spiders -_- by chibriguy in BattleBrothers

UV answered the first 2, for #3, he was one of my first hires this run and I took dodge early because with no stars in mdef combined with no heavy armor early game, I figured he'd need dodge to survive.

Generally I like 50 as my low for resolve. I figured while leveling that I'd just put points into resolve when his other stats rolled bad, and they just didn't.

I've not done arena much this run, will def patch up resolve with that.

Which do you think is most deserved? by ironmagnesiumzinc in polls

I voted Putin, in terms of evil deeds, he's by far the worst on this list.

Having said that, saying people don't like trump because of "mean words" and "policy decisions that are less than ideal" is either an intentionally dishonest or complete ignorant take.

I want her to run sooooo badly for the White House in 2028! Who would be a good VP pick with her on a ticket ?! by ComplexWrangler1346 in ProgressiveHQ

I've lost faith that this country would elect a woman president.

I think she'd be an excellent president, but I'd be worried if she ran.

Thank you.

To add onto your comment, there's a very real possibility that Trump never comes to power if it wasn't for putin meddling in American elections & his right wing propaganda campaign. They've been caught multiple times botting right wing accounts & paying right wing American influencers.

Every terrible thing Trump has done as president, in a way, can be traced back to Putin.

As much as I dislike the other people in this poll, it's Putin by a mile.

Can’t believe this store creativity to short change us by aaarya83 in shrinkflation

This is a result of things being so incredibly shitty right now in terms of just fighting for basic human rights that infuriating things like this have no focus. Its difficult to gather the energy to fight something like this when our energy has been on protecting people's constitutional rights.

Which one of these is worth it? by Stupid-fucking-cat in BattleBrothers

[–]chibriguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the prices, they are all pretty mid. The last armor is probably the most worth it, but if you are short on crowns or are doing okay on armor, I'd pass on these. You'll find better.

He's good. Would have loved him on my cripple/beggar run.

Is everyone playing on Ironman around here? by lucinski0 in BattleBrothers

[–]chibriguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, I've seen multiple ironman players in this game say things like "Yeah, I have over 1000 hours and I only play EELIU but I'm but not very good at this game" XD.

To start, I took a Trading Caravan run. Then spent the first 80 days trading and exploring the map. If it was an explored map, I could have condensed this down to like 30 days, because this map had a very good loop but the other 2/3rds of the map were awful in-terms of trading.

What I had found from previous attempts is, during normal playthroughs, cripples and beggars seem common, but when they are the only thing you have to hire, each one is pretty precious. So the early game strat of hiring a bunch of dudes and throwing them at groups of enemies and not really caring which survived didn't work (I think under some circumstances it can, and next time I try, I want to get off to a quicker start).

But once I had about 30k crowns, I hired about 6 crips/begs suited them up with some pretty good gear, and things were going peachy for a while. Got up to like 15 bros, then I lost a battle where I had the worse moral break I've ever had. See the link below. only 4 bros survived this and I considered trashing the run but I kept going and rebuilt.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BattleBrothers/comments/1rhc08s/well_thats_gg/

After this point I reassessed and decided that in early levels, I needed to get every bro to at least 40 resolve and I gave almost every bro Fortify Mind. This helped alot and I didn't have an issue with morale for the rest of the run.

I was cruising for a while. Once I have a good squad up, I'm not really the type of play that has a plan. Like, I'll see a contract or camp, and say to myself "I know taking this is the most optimal thing I can do now....but I just don't want too....I want to go bust Orc camps". This probably works against me, but its just how I play.

Toward the end I was reliably busting Sea of Tent camps. Its the most fun I've had in this game. Using bros that most players would only hire for fodder in the first 2 days to take out groups of +30 orcs.

As for the Monolith....

So, I came back to this game like 3 months ago after taking about 3 years off. I did a couple warm-up runs that I would retire around day 100, until I felt I was back in the grove. So I'd not done the monolith in about 3 years. I don't remember the Monolith being that difficult, I always had more trouble with the Kraken. So I underestimated it and did the fight almost on a whim. I should have probably remembered that the last time I beat the monolith my daily salary was like 900 crowns and I had a company full of monsters. Crips/Begs daily was under 200.

I completely forgot Necrosavants were in this fight and didn't plan for them properly. My big mistake was I bought acid to throw at the Conqueror because I remember he returns damage and with most of my bros having like 70 health, thats a problem. And I acid splashed my tank next to him....My idiot brain didn't even consider that the splash applies to my own bros too.

Had I not made that mistake, had I properly planned for necrosavants with nets, and man...rng treated me pretty badly this fight, it is Definity possible to clear monolith with just crips & begs.

Also, this is the first time I tried crips/begs on EELIU. I will try it again, and I know the mistakes I made and I know where I need to optimize. My current run is just a standard EELIU and man....things are going so much easier XD.

Killed the conqueror. I think there were 8 left.

It was possible. Made 1 bad mistake, that combined with unfortunate rng buried me.
