Official Introduction Key Points

1. The world is fractured, and the old empires have turned to dust. The dead rise from their crypts and Greenskin hordes gather in the distance, as bandits roam free and Nobles prepare for war – the people are left with no choice but to turn to mercenary bands for aid. Battle Brothers is a turn-based tactical RPG where you lead a mercenary company in a procedurally generated world fraught with dangers of all kinds, and plenty of opportunity for fortune and fame. Decide where to go, which contracts to take on, who to hire, and how to equip your growing mercenary band in this sandbox adventure of grit and valor.
2. The procedurally generated maps of Battle Brothers feature bustling cities, wandering beasts, unique points of interest, and the freedom to explore and engage with everything as and when you wish.
3. Travel in real-time across the varied landscapes of the world to visit the settlements and strongholds spread across the realm, offering you everything from respite and rumors at the local tavern to new recruits for your growing band of battle brothers. Visit markets to sell loot and acquire powerful equipment, or speak to the local lord to see what troubles them, and how much they’re willing to pay to have those troubles taken care of.
4. Settlements and Noble Houses will be your primary source of wealth as they offer dynamically generated contracts of varying difficulty to reflect the coin that comes with completing them – will you take on particularly challenging monsters early in your career to secure greater wealth at the risk of losing your starting sellswords, or will you start focused on local bandits and thieves fleeing justice instead? Be warned – no contract is without consequences, and the quests you take on and how you accomplish them will determine your relationships with the various factions of the world as well as your company’s renown and reputation.
5. Seek opportunities beyond contracts and quests to deepen your pockets – from profitable trade among the many cities and settlements to the great riches hidden in the wild. Will you pursue the life of a merchant and seek out optimal trade routes to bolster your wealth, focus on mercenary contracts, or strike out on your own and seek opportunity and loot in the crypts, camps, and ruins that litter the world?
6. Various crises can ignite and fundamentally reshape the landscape, demanding radically different strategies and offering new opportunities as time goes on – how will you adapt to an evolving political situation, and more powerful adversaries? Nobles may start massive factional wars, the undead may rise up, or Greenskins may launch full-scale invasions of the land.
7. The brutal battlefields of Battle Brothers reward the clever tactician and punish the careless. As you fight intense turn-based tactical battles on battlefields featuring rough terrain, height advantages, and obstacles to use to your advantage, every swing of the blade carries weight. Take on bandits and beasts of all kinds and maul, mangle, and maim your way through combat.
8. An extremely granular approach to equipment introduces reason to vary your formations and loadouts depending on the team you’ve assembled, and the foe you face – the stab of a spear does little against the fleshless skeleton warriors, while the bludgeoning mace will make quick work of them and their armour. But those very same spears work great alongside shields to keep hungry beasts at bay with their extended reach alongside shieldbashes for those who come close. Meanwhile, though a warhammer could make quick work of a heavily armored bandit, using a dagger to cut between gaps in their protection could leave a very valuable piece of armor intact for you to loot and use.
