Does wiki site have accurate information?
I am looking at battle brothers wiki and it seems like character background information are somewhat inaccurate. For example it says farmhands have +10hp, +10 fatigue, but when I hire them in game they also have low resolve. Also wiki says militia have no bonuses to anything but in game it says militia has at least some training and militia is too expensive for a npc with no bonuses. I am confused, is the site still accurate?

These + and - bonuses are mostly based on earlier versions of the game (where they were actually shown).

Please consider these (quoted from the wiki page):
As of Dev Blog #49, there is no set stats for each background so this [page with the bonuses listed] is for reference purposes only.
Currently any of the background have his attributes randomly rolled from specific ranges and then modified by Traits (if they have such).


And I can't repeat it often enough everyone is very welcome to help. The wiki is open to everyone. By the players, for the players. If you want to add, correct, change, update, etc. something you know needs to be done or want to do, I say: Feel free to do it. The wiki is open for everyone, that's what a wiki is for.

Would you mind telling me which stuff in particular you think is very much outdated? (For organization purposes.)

There's a few of us updating bits on a regular basis but i'm not really in the mood to re-write the whole perks descriptions again tbh v_v
Zensalin1 Mar 7, 2017 @ 2:29pm 
That is very well understandable, that's a lot of work.
So you did that, filling in the perk descriptions a few weeks ago? Thanks a lot for that! This was a huge bit of work.

Yea i had a wiki frenzy.

By the way if you know how to add new pages, a basic event page would be most welcomed because right now we can only update traits & backgrounds related events.

Also i can't for the life of me find where the page describing rolls and talents bonuses went ?

No of course wiki don't have accurate informations.

Firstly most of the info is outdated.
Secondly plenty of other info that actually is not outdated come from guess work and various sheningans that some of the dedicated guys did to get some info(like exp points per killed enemy).
And even if they get it right it can change at any time and you will never know when as patch notes not explain much if anything at all.

Backgrounds.
Any character start with specific range of attributes and have chance to roll specific traits for a background(like miners have high chance of getting astmatic). Attributes can be affected by stats increasing/decreasing traits but the base attribute stay in range.
For example wildman can roll from -5 to 0 on melee defence when farmahand roll on 0 to 5. It will be modified by any traits that affect attributes like cocky will reduce m/def by 5.
I have some old papers with some data from old patch but dog eat it.

Regarding an event, there's actually an event to get a temporary story merc. During the undead crisis I got an event where a Hedge Knght asked to join me to help fight the undead. After the crisis ended another event happened where he left because the undead were vanquished. Might be worth adding to that event page, if it's not already there.

there are some differences with my own list of backgrounds (i made long time ago)

for exemple, militia :
- wiki version : no bonus or malus
- my version : +5 melee skill, +5 resolve

servant :
- wiki version : no bonus or malus
- my version : -5 resolve, -5 hitpoints, -5 max fatigue

thief :
- wiki version : +10 initiative
- my version : +5 melee defense, +5 ranged defense, +10 initiative

for what i can tell ig, my version is the right one

rodriguezCIA Mar 8, 2017 @ 4:05am

Oh, you are right. Thanks for notifying me!
