    [​IMG]Battle Brothers continues to be updated. The latest update to the perk system prompted this update to go to the beta branch first to prevent extensive issues.

    Update released to Beta Branch!

    Here we go - the new update is now live for the beta branch of Battle Brothers!

    What's new?
    This update started out with two major goals: reworking the perk system and introducing more complex injury mechanics. Both are included in this update, and while were at it, we've also included lots of other changes and additions. Here's the shortlist of features.
    • A new contract
    • 25 new illustrated events
    • 18 new and detailed mercenary banners to pick from for your company
    • 3 new character traits
    • 2 new character backgrounds
    • An ironman mode
    • A reworked perk system, less constricted and with more perks to choose from
    • New injury mechanics with different types of injuries and usable temple buildings
    • A talent system whereby more talented characters regardless of their background can reliably reach high skill
    • More powerful but also more rare named weapons, armor, helmets and shields of every type hidden across the world
    • More tools to use in combat, like bandages and poison
    • Changed shield mechanics in combat
    • Changes to weapon progression and balance
    • New sounds for humans; every character uses one of six different voices now to shout and scream. More sounds for all voices incoming.
    • Various bugfixes and smaller improvements, such as to AI
    Note that this update is not compatible with older savegames. You will have to start a new campaign!​
