I didn't expect a dlc, I really do love this game. Probably one of the sleeper hits for me. There's some areas of the game where I wish it was expanded but all and all great game. So I guess, I'll be waiting for the patches.

Their only other main game, Northgard, has many DLC's. I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to make them for Wartales.

This is a special game and I am happy to support these devs on this DLC and future DLCs.

You are the best reviewer on the interwebs. Keep up the good work.

Wartales is a gem of a game!

My you wander in wisdom as well Mort. Youve helped me find games i didnt know id love so much. Thanks man

I’m really happy for this honestly all I want from war tales is just them to continue to expand the game in the way they did with this dlc keep it up shiro this is great!!!!!!!

This is on my list once I get through Showgunners and Dark Descent. You're 2 for 2 on 2023 game recommendations so I'm really excited for this

Thanks for your thoughts. Grabs the DLC yesterday(10% off atm on steam) but havent had time to check it out. Was kind of hoping someone would give a short info/overview of it before jumping in. Thanks again. Peace

Love this game. Excited to see this and future additions.

Love the game. And I'm glad to see Shiro supporting it.

Been looking forward to this DLC since it was announced. The base game was already fun and kept me hooked in for awhile, as did Battle Brothers. Troop managing games just scratch a certain itch.

Excited to play some more wartales! Right after I finish rogue trader lol

I just bought this game yesterday; it's been on my radar since it released. I can't wait to get in and play it; I'm going to be Yogi the Pirate bear LOL !

I've still got this on my wishlist for some reason. Probably due to Mort's coverage, which is great stuff. The apparent lack of a strong story campaign backbone is a major concern for me in this [ok most] kind of game. But undead knights going after undead king Arthur seems to be working out while accumulating RT post-release patches. So everything works out nicely.

Would love to see you do Fear and Hunger one of these days. I think by now a pretty large part of the internet's picked up on how good those games are, but would still be good to see your opinion.

Did they do anything to speed up the combat? I finished this game when it came out but towards the end the combat felt very tedious, especially having to set up each individual unit before the fight.

Did they add new talents or professions associated with shipbuilding or sailing?

Been on my list. This nudges me closer to buying it, but there's so many games on my list I just don't know.

check out battle brothers. A little aged now, but a gem. I wouldn't even say a hidden gem, but a true gem!

But only if FINALLY we get a realistic pirate game, I don´t want no more "Pirates of the Caribean", I want historical Corsairs and Brit Navy ducking it out for gold and war of control over the caribean. So many pirate things go the "jack sparrow" route and I´m getting tired of it, some of the men on board may be scundrels, but the reality of ship captains has being wildly fictionalized. They were both payed by their empires to do their thing, all this "lawless rebels" it´s too hollywood and americanized (which also never had match up with real American politics, that one I never understood).

You could easily get them by finding them in jail cells, even in the weakest starting zone. The game punishes you for recruiting by just increasing the enemy count instead of making the fights harder. A random encounter can take you 10 minutes waiting for each weak bandit to take their turn instead of you just fighting super buffed enemies.

@@PeteringYT Bears have no armor, but they have a lot of HP, that's true. Hence, I use mine as a tank. But they do low DMG and have only one basic attack, compared to human companions. I'm in the second region only, I admit, but I only found a white wolf in a prison. Maybe it could have been a bear? Is it a random animal? I have a 12 members group now and the game feels well balanced, but it could change in the 3rd region, we'll see.

@@PeteringYT Well, yes, in some cases crafted weapons/armor are better, but not always. Now that we have helmets, I'm still using a lvl2 helmet because it's still better for my companion's fighting style (it adds an important skill) than the crafted ones (only have stats). I'm not playing on the hardest difficulty, only on experienced, for me it's perfect, only once I had to reload because one of my people died, at the very beginning while I still learned the game. But I had quite a few battles when I had to fight tooth and nail to stay alive, bandaged dying characters several times. Never used the flee option though. Wait until an update or two comes out and give it another try.

I don't think Shiro Games will ever improve character customization. This game is more sandbox than RPG. Your four starting characters are not special and can be easily replaced by the randomly generated recruits found in taverns. There is no reason to get attached to them for Shiro Games to create an in-depth character creator. Even if you replace all of them the game acts like nothing happened and you just carry on.

Wartales is a good game, but it takes way too long to achieve anything, especially considering the pay offs. The pacing and the repetitiveness are way off. I would very much prefer if the developers moved to another project instead of making a DLC playing into the same mechanics.
