Youre right on the money here with the endgame issue, coming from someone who has couple thousands of hours played
After some point you begin to see just how fast you can reach that invincible status for the company. The skill ceiling to that is quite high and theres a lot to consider

I highly recommend Our Adventurer Guild as an easier/more laid back cross between Battle Brothers and Darkest Dungeon.

Hope their next game 'Menace' will be as challenging. By the way, if I recall correctly, in battle bros if you retreat from battle on first turn there won't be a morale penalty. Maybe it's just for Deserters origin.

Man I love Battle Brothers. Difficulty perception I think comes from how easy it is to fail in early game. Where you need to leave the hobo phase by day 10 to max 15 or otherwise your run is a slog that is hard to continue. It probably is also demotivating to people to fail early that's why they bounce off.

True, it's also the point, at which RNG is by far the biggest factor, since you don't have the resources to pick fights/prepare, so it can definitely feel deflating, if you fail multiple times in a row.

Bought this game years ago but never gave it a proper chance. You've convinced me to give it another go. Love your videos!

[@ace_of_laze]

yeah, totally agree, a real gem to play and to watch

[@ivantrevisanwippel8008]

hey man, do you stream? would love to see you playing lol

[@Drybe]

I don't.
I experimented with it, but it made me feel like I had to rush instead of playing at my own pace, so I prefer editing footage down.

One of the best game I ever played. After I cleared compeltely a map with the peasants last year I think I will never go back to it.
