Update 1.5.0.11

Battle Brothers

Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG which has you leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign.

A collection of balance changes and fixes collected since the release of the 'Of Flesh and Faith' free DLC. The console versions will receive this update in the coming weeks.

[h3]Changelog for 1.5.0.11[/h3] [list] [*] Added a new 'Collectors' settlement situation that increases the sell prices of beast parts and treasures. [*] Changed the relations gain/decay effect of the Negotiator to 15%, up from 10%. [*] Changed the equipment and hire costs of the Oathtaker and Anatomist backgrounds. In general, Oathtakers got a little cheaper, and Anatomists got a little more expensive. [*] Changed the daily wage of the Anatomist background to better match their statline. The Anatomists origin now has slightly higher starting funds to give them a bit more runway. [*] Changed the maximum melee defense of the Oathtaker background to be slightly higher. [*] Changed the special Oathtakers origin-specific event fight to trigger later on lower combat difficulties. There's now an option to delay the fight (with some consequence) if the player feels they aren't ready. [*] Changed the experience gain offset of the Oath of Distinction to +50%, up from +40%, and removed it from the Oath tooltip, as it was confusing players and setting wrong expectation for the oath mechanics. [*] Changed Oath of Fortification to now grant an additional flat +5 defense when shieldwalling, in addition to its current effects. [*] Changed stacks granted by the Orc Berserker Anatomist potion to 3 per hit, up from 2. The effect now caps at 15 stacks. [*] Changed the effect of the Ifrit Anatomist potion to 25 natural armor, up from 20. [*] Changed the wording of the Sword Mastery perk description to clarify the hit chance effect on Split/Swing. The actual effect remains unchanged. [*] Fixed a bug that let certain Anatomist potions drop as loot when they shouldn't have. [*] Fixed Anatomist potions being forever lost if a character who'd taken them left or died the company in an event. [*] Fixed the Direwolf Anatomist potion triggering on Riposte misses. [*] Fixed the Orc Berserker Anatomist potion triggering on each hit of the Three Headed Flail. [*] Fixed bug causing fear/hate of beasts and the Oath of Dominion traits to not work in arena fights. [*] Fixed Oath of Fortification not properly resetting the count of dead characters when repeating. [*] Fixed the reward for the special Oathtakers origin-specific event fight getting lost if the player's inventory was full. [*] Fixed issue where accepting the 'Hunting Serpents' contract could cause the game to hang under rare circumstances. [*] Fixed certain retinue members applying their effects twice. [*] Fixed various smaller issues and typos. [/list]
