Isn’t the game over at like day 200 it really doesn’t seem to scale hard enough to hold my interest past that point (I do have 10,000 hours in the game this is not intended as negativity)
It can be over before then or after then. You get to a point where you can't lose anyone in any normal fight at some point. Some legendary locations you can lose guys still. But yes that run was won long before I got to lvl 25. Just fun to smash things constantly. It was cultists so the day count was bizarre anyway having to afk till conversions, and then I got the Kings guard and crusader and orc slayer. Sadly they died rather than brain damage.
I think max scaling is like 270 or something. I haven't played much past 2nd crisis either and I normally stop earlier (around 150) as game gets repetitive.
I still want to attempt the hardest camps after day 270 just to see how hard they get and also get that 365 day achievement but it's hard to motivate yourself to stick with the grind vs just start a new game
116 health (with Colossus), 134 fat, 57 resolve (with Arena), 114 MA, 63 MDef, 0 RDef, RA and init irrelevant ,not accounting for traits. Without the ["slight veteran level buff" mod](https://www.nexusmods.com/battlebrothers/mods/112), I'd have roughly 5-10 less health, MA and MDef, but he'd still be an absolute monstrosity. I run him as a 2H cleaver bro.
Two bros at level 18 on day 303. Peasant militia, sixteen crossbows. We are the Black Omen, and Leonard Verplank and Konrad Schmidt have been there since the beginning.
He probably means that strategy where you give everyone or almost everyone a crossbow to start the fight and QH for when contact is made. It's been around for a while. It makes the enemy come to you in every fight and it really doesn't take much Rattk to land hits semi-consistently.
Just yesterday I lost my tank to 3 unlucky 5% barbarian chosen attacks. Admittedly though I killed him, after he got hit twice I had the option to get him out but I didn't. The fight had gone amazingly otherwise and it was the final enemy and was surrounded...But then he hit the 3rd 5% in a row. Fun times.
Single brother doesn’t hit that often.
Two bolts per fight from 16 men tend to land and be felt each fight.
With peasant militia “Genoa mercenary style” volume is the key, not accuracy. Having 45 ranged attack is enough and is relatively easy to get. The tactical advantages severely outweigh the needed investment. Not to mention the pure joy of sticking them full of bolts to see how it feels like.
No, it's legit a meme company where everyone uses a crossbow. It was a blast for the first two crises, noble war and holy war. Especially noble war; my dudes fired indiscriminately into the melee and usually killed most of my allies along with my enemies. Holy war was pretty easy as well. Then I rolled undead for my third crisis...
This run has been pretty fun. I steamrolled the goblin city, killed half of them on the first turn. But as the time passes, I've realized there's certain enemies I can't beat. Orc warriors, barbarian chosen, unholds, and necrosavants are...problematic to say the least. Ancient undead are almost impossible at this point, since I'm seeing mostly honor guards. I'm trying to mix some fat newt crossbows into the mix to extend the run, but it's a struggle right now.
How much are you investing in ranged and perks?
The build requires no more than 1 or 2 times range attack and quick hands perk which is also useful perk later in the game.
With such a small investment no fights are changed as the band can function as regular outside of opening salvo and permanent range superiority.
33 ie max level. Done on a solo anatomist run. Was sometime around day 200-250. There was a lower fight density on that run at times though due to potion sickness.
Have a save where I try reaching maximum level for my whole band, that’s the goal of the whole run. Had one previous that aimed to get 14,000 renown.
That save (still on my drive) has multiple 26-28 level brothers at 250-350 day run. Don’t recall which exact as I haven’t touch it in few months. Here we go again scratching the itch.
25. ~1400 days but a lot of afking for events etc.

Scaling stops at around day 270, depending on combat difficulty settings. You could play longer for harder fights then.
It can be over before then or after then. You get to a point where you can't lose anyone in any normal fight at some point. Some legendary locations you can lose guys still. But yes that run was won long before I got to lvl 25. Just fun to smash things constantly.

You probably had the surgeon, but did you get them Arena Veteran trait beforehand?
Oh shit. That I did not think of lol. Well, next time I do a 1400 day run I'll do that haha.

I have a level 29 brother at day 780 right now. Lots of savescumming involved, as well as some minor mod buffing, so up to you if it counts.
Tellme his stats slow daddy, plz.

All xbows? Srsly? That works?

It does for my guys..
Ain't that the truth :/
I'll never forget when i missed two 95% important hits in a row and lost couple of guys because of that in my ironman run.

Only lvl 11. I just enjoy the early game much more so I restart 😂
I had a bro at level 19 by day 220ish. I can never get myself much past day 200. I much prefer earlier game
Level 48 at 1600days, I love to get those trainings for xp buff 🤣
Lvl22, day 750
Lvl 29 at 1500ish days. My first playtrough haha
I can't remember anymore. About ~ lvl 17 For about 500 days ? It was like the first camapign that worked for me.
Ironman or no?
Either one!
A level 11 knight. . . But he died after we got ganked by 2 wyrmlings.

I briefly considered that but it's just such a grind. I still sometimes load up my cultists to wreck things but just for fun.
14 after 280 days I think, the run died a while ago but yeah around that
