The company has been ordered to take out the raiders, including their leader Hoggart the - damned - weasel. However, we were ambushed and a large part of our mercenary force, including our leader, has already been killed. That's why we're taking over in Battle Brothers the command and have to prove that we can pull out some strategic aces.
Save the day and take the lead
So every new campaign begins in Battle Brothers and throws us straight into its dark medieval world and into the first battle. The game describes itself as a "turn-based tactical RPG" and by no means understates the case. Battles are tactically demanding and can drive even experienced commanders to white heat. Morale, injuries, stamina, terrain and equipment are just some of the parameters that a commander has to keep an eye on. In addition, the world is completely regenerated for each new campaign. There are a number of different sized Citieswho belong to different factions. So we, as an independent mercenary force, have the choice of who we hire.
But mercenaries want to eat and drink, go into battle and get paid. We will hardly be able to take a break... and so we will make decisions without ceasing and thus decide our fate. of our mercenary troops determine.

Will we make it?
At the beginning, we can select the difficulty level and even play in Ironman mode (for the Rogue-like fans). However, Battle Brothers is not for weak strategists and you should be prepared for failure. It is therefore better to start by forging small irons and optimizing your tactics.
The end game is particularly challenging and takes the form of one of the following three DisastersThe human factions are at war, orcs and goblins are trying to conquer human settlements, necromancers are raising a huge horde of undead... Our mercenary troop gets to work on the proverbial bacon and save the world.
