I’ll give a brief explanation for each hire in alphabetical order. RNG is a huge factor in hiring, and these are simply my opinions. This list is not ALL of the good bros you can find. Only use the Try-out function if you’re rolling in 10k plus gold and are looking for a specific type of bro. If a bro doesn’t come with armor, and you cannot put some armor on him, don’t hire him. Get 6-7 bros in total, hiring in this game however is tricky so let me tell you who you’re looking for most days. You’ve got a good chunk of change in the early game, here is my general advice: What you think 2-3 guys can take on brigands? Not unless you’re lucky. So you’ve got your start and a few bros to fight with, but you are NOT ready for a battle. The downside is you don’t get as much renown so you have to do more contracts to get to noble contracts, it’s okay though you buy and sell for better prices! Early Game Bros This start lets you make more money from trading, and money is REALLY good. This start gives you two caravan hands, they’re not great fighters, but they’ll hold you through till the midgame. Solid choice, and really just a preference of how you wanna play. Why did i put two starts together? Because they start you with the same kind of bros, tier of equipment, and gold. This start throws you right into the game, without the tutorial and Hogart contracts. This is the tutorial start if you’ve never played this is a great introduction to the game, but it still leaves a lot out, however it does teach you the basics of the game: big cities have good hires/ gear, and contracts give you money. Rebuilding a company, A new company / Southern Mercenaries, and Trader caravan. I think these are the best three starts for a newer player to get into the game and learn mechanics. With the DLC we have multiple different starts, however we are gonna focus on three of them. If you’re still here, great! let’s get started! Choosing Your Start This is for the player who wants to learn the game but is just running up against a brick wall. This guide is NOT me telling you the most meta builds out there and what formations to use. Now, I am NOT the best Battle Brother player (WAIT HOLD ON DON’T leave!), but i have a very solid understanding of the mechanics and strategy of the game and want to help push you in the direction of victory. I’ve been playing this gem of a game for about 4 years now on and off and have over 500 hours at the time of writing this.

Yeah, that last fight sucked didn’t it? Lose all of your brothers again? That contract said it was easy but you ran into some really tough badguys? Yeah i know how ya feel. A guide that aims to push newer players in the direction of success without spoiling too much of the game or overwhelming them with fancy words and phrases like “Meta-build”, “Boss fight”, or “economic stability of a band of killers who take on contracts to murder people” Introduction
