I usually don't pay too much attention to music in games, but I found these to be noticeably good. To go along with these new northern enemies, the north end of the map has been fleshed out a bit, and the game has received some new music tracks. Taking down these special enemy types will play a key part in your strategy. They also might have a beastmaster with them, who brings along a big scary pet or two. They'll often be accompanied by a tribal drummer, who restores their fatigue at quicker rate. The barbarians like to come in hard and take big swings, but this tires them out quickly. Like the other enemy factions in the game, they have some unique mechanics that you will want to consider when you go into battle against them. These guys have a primitive Viking/Rus feel to them, coming at you with fur covered armor and horned helmets. Warriors of the North, as you might guess from the title and artwork, adds in an entire new faction of enemies to face: Barbarians. If you are familiar with the game, you probably want to know what this new DLC is all about. If you want to read more of the details of the general gameplay, check my review linked above. The game has two layers, the over world, which is very much like Mount and Blade, and turn based battles. Each mercenary also has an extensive set of stats like morale and max fatigue that can be improved over time. Each man in your company has his own little equipment screen, where you can equip him with armor, headgear, weapons, and trinkets.
If, like me, you enjoy sticking new gear onto an RPG paper doll, this is the game for you. More money means you can hire more men, buy them more expensive gear, and keep them fed.
From Overhype Studios, Battle Brothers was one of my favorite games of 2017, and you can read my original review here. In this excellent mash up of Mount and Blade and XCOM, you build up a plucky band of mercenaries as you travel the land taking on jobs to earn money.
Battle Brothers newest DLC invites you to visit the frozen frontiers and battle barbarians.
