Map seeds

[Gren]

So, since we got seeds option now, share some good worlds so we don't have to reroll 10 times to get a decent one. Just so you know, map seed also determines your starting 3 brothers, so try to tag if it's either good map, good starting band, or both.

Only 4 harbors, but spread out. (from top left to bottom). Two cities far apart, one big harbor top left, and another farming one well inland.

Shield has very high starting attack skill.

1. Shield: 67/42 melee/bow (dextrous / loyal), 9/7 base def
2. Axe: short sighted, 62 melee, 2/3 base def
3. bow: death wish 49 bow / 55 melee, 3/4 base def

Does anybody have a seed with a terrifying evil biome, a river and a flat volcan-

Er. Wrong forum.

Been playing around with seeds tonight. Nothing interesting so far, but this addition is fantastic.

This reddit post has a few good ones: https://www.reddit.com/r/BattleBrothers/comments/63fdw9/1004_seed_bank/

Enter 666 for the seed. Check the noble houses (also, pretty nice stats on the starting bros, and good traits on two).

Overhype worshipping the Fallen One confirmed.

Edit to save virtual trees:

They really need to realize #StartingBrosMatter

Edit edit: As an aside, you can have at least two traits on your brothers. I just got a seed with two traits each on every starting brother (unfortunately most of them crappy ones XD), so there's that to consider for the "ultimate" seed hunting :)

Map Seed: EA7A55

OK, so I've spent way more time putting in goofy hexadecimal words than I care to admit, but this map is actually pretty good. It has 6 ports with a nice layout, roads connecting nearly everything, a good variety of towns, likeable factions, etc. The only downside is the massive citadel that has both an ore smelter and blast furnace isn't directly connected to that faction's surface iron vein. The founding BBs aren't as good as some of the others I've found, but they all have positive traits.

BBs:
Shield - Iron Lungs
2H - Iron Lungs, Quick
Bow - Fearless

Good idea. I'd be interested to know how many harbours on each of these seeds. Both of Wilson's map seeds above look great, they're much better starts than the one I'm playing on right now.

We're supposed to be able to extract seeds from existing saved games. Can someone tell me how to find that as I'm not seeing a way to get the information for you at all.

[Balgin Stondraeg]

Okay, I found it. It's at the top of the save menu. MY old save does not have a map seed that displays.

Can anyone, anyone, please tell me a map seed where all three starting brothers begin with the Tiny trait? I've been needing that campaign for a very long time. I'd settle for two starting tiny brothers but all 3 would be ideal. I'm going to try seed dwarf right now (and whatever abbreviation I can get out of dwarf mode).

I think you have to start a new game after v1.0.0.4 in order to see the game's map seed. Previous saves don't have the map seed where it should be in the menu. It might be possible with a hex editor, but that's more trouble than it's worth with people sharing more and more good seeds.

I've only ever seen one of the three BBs have the Tiny trait and at this point in time, I've rolled literally hundreds of games. I've done almost nothing but roll up new games for at least 20 hours or so since release alone... I'm not saying it's not possible, but if it is, it's extremely rare.

Map seed daf (dwarf)....

Spearman gets Dextrous, Axeman gets Optimist and Dumb, Crossbowman gets Pessimist. The map looks pretty reasonable 'though. It's mostly land with the water mainly around the edges.

Map seed dafde (dwarfmode) ... well this is weird. In the tutorial fight the axeman has a spear and shield so Hoggart the weasel runs away leaving two spearmen to die.

Setting that aside, dafde has the Speaman getting nothing, the Axeman getting Dumb and the Crossbowman getting brave. Map looks okay at a cursory glance.

I'm going to need help finding the real dwarf mode map.

Wow, now that's an absolutely gorgeous map!

Connectivity between top and bottom via harbor, almost no mountains, lots of open plains, a good collection of cities in the south for quick questing, and a northern outpost for dat dere GoT atmosphere! :D

Love it!

84ff45 - starting bros are not particularly great, but I found awesomely talented brawler and squire right away.

Spearman - loyal
Axeman - deathwish and brute
Crossbowman - tough

Map has 12 settlements all bunched close together in the south and a village with harbor in the north for easy access to the rest of the map. Great for trading and quick questing.

Only the map layout and starting BBs are linked to the seed. City's events/wares/hires are random.

The traits are no longer there though :/
