Battle Brothers - Blazing Deserts

It will be so easy, me and Jorah have it all laid out.... our plans for mercenary glory. Force some indebted recruits hold town opponent's whilst we simply hurl stones at the enemy. If any of our unpaid recruits get worried we simply whip them back into shape. So we bought four guys and set off to make our fortunes. First contract was a simple caravan escort upland, easy work for 300 gold. Halfway up by the mountain pass we were ambushed by some bandits, easy pickings as long as you let the caravan hands take the bulk of the damage . Heck one bandit even survived and quickly joined our merry band (well me and Jorah felt merry, the new guy was a bit distressed with the chains round his neck). Second contract also looked promising, we basically needed to find a local area of interest, some abandoned ruins in the forest nearby. Again it was smooth sailing, we spotted it in no time and just like that another 200 gold in our pockets (mine and Jorah's pockets that is). We bumped into a small group of thugs in the way back, sure one indebted got a broken nose and another got a nasty gash on his arm, but just like that we added another recruit to our ranks. Boosted by our victories I even picked up a couple of round shields for the indebted to help stave off any critical damage, not that I care about their wellbeing but it's expensive to purchase new indebted if they start dropping in the field. Jorah pointed out that I could have spent that money on treating there injuries instead, but wounds heal anyway and if they do fall in battle I can always pick up the shield and give it to someone else. We also spotted a eunuch in town looking rather dejected. We offered him a job as we could do with the help now our indebted outnumbered us 3-1. We called him Lady his best feature is now cheap he is willing to work. Our next contract is to hunt down some spiders in the forest. Sure it's getting dark and I can't make out were they are but how hard can it be?

Let me just start that the game really feels refreshed after this dlc and it is worth it`s price. It contains great content and I really enjoy fighting in the arena, all new weapon/armor sets, the holy war event and some south related quests like for example indebted revolts. The problem started, when I encountered the handgunners; yes after couple of battles I have applied new tactics, but a note to the devs: these guys are waaaay OP :) Either they should fire each consecutive turn, or with decreased accuracy, as my line can`t withstand the volleys at 60-65% chance to hit totally melting armor. Apart from that little issue, the best DLC so far.

Why you shouldn't buy it 1. Adds a bunch of OP weapons that don't work very well in the combat system. 2. Crusade late game crisis often has you fighting multiple battles in a row with no chance to manage inventory or rotate inventory. 3. Adds new factions which don't really add anything to the game 4. Excessive power creep. No signs of an attempts to balance. 5. AI still cheats; higher stamina recovery, resolve, etc. than they should have and enemy party sizes play by different rules than the player.
