I think about buying, but..

Dont like how units look ->half of body/ big head. Do you change it for nice looking skins like in WH 40K/ Panzer Corps/ Fantasy General ?

[Wyrtt]

no.
And thats a really stupid reason not to but a game but you are free to do so.

To each his own I guess, but having the larger heads gives them each a distinct individualality... besides, who gives a crap about looking at a pair of legs and a butt anyway?

[Eric Cartman]

I really like the style they choose. Also, they did so for a good reason.

With unlimited resources you can do anything. With limited (as in most cases) you need to focus on what one judges to be most important. Personally I LOVE That devs choose to go for other features than more advanced graphical options... as I am interested in game dynamics and just want the graphics to not be provocingly ugly (subjective of course).

This is a blog post of why they went the path they did:

They spend lots of resources for ugly art style (in my opinion). I prefer simple art of icons in strategy games ( nice 2d icon like in Panzer Corps, Fantasy General etc). I hope for workshop (mods) that change this big heads for normal looking unit icons.

Peace

What is "ugly" is of course a matter of taste. I was mostly referring to the style and the decision not to go for more advanced animiations and skipping the legs (as described in the blog post).

If the graphics is very ugly to you and this is a deal breaker for you, you shouldn't buy the game (unless it can be modded of course) as I am pretty sure the devs won't change the graphical path at this stage. Graphics is really time consuming to work with.

I think this graphic style is well chosen as it allows more detail for the heads.

I thought the same thing about Unity of Command, which turned out to be the best WW2 wargame I've ever played, so I'm used to it. You'll get used to it too. Then you'll start to like it.

Then you'll love it, and come back here and apologize for ever doubting it.

I wasn't a big fan of the bust-style direction myself when I first learned about the game but tried out the demo and it convinced me. I suggest to try it out because it's important to know how it feels in practice:

As for modability - decision about how modable the game will be will come at later date, when more vital gameplay functions will get implemented for the base game so you might want to wait until then.

I played fantasy general a bit... but I recall it to be a bit of a savescum as you couldn't really lose units in the campaign or it would be impossible later on (at least at hard difficulty). Unless I am mistaken. Long time ago.

Discount campaigns can work on me, but mostly psychological. Most people in Sweden can spend 30-40 euro on something that is worth something for them without a blink (or drink or smoke it away ;). I totally get that you want those old titles cheap though.

I don't remember if I bought Battle Brothers on discount. Might have. But I choose to upgrade to supporter version because the money isn't a real factor for me at that level (having a job in Sweden) and it reflects the fun I have witht the game... and expect to have in the future.

I would recommend getting BB now if you think you will like the future product as it supports it's development. And as it's pretty fun to play around with meanwhile (although not the finished product) it's totally worth the money. But... it's always hard to give advice about decisions where money is involved as the situation for people is so different.

That said... I will go and take a coffee and sallad/sandwich at a café later today. Will likely cost almost the same as Battle Brothers did ;)

^^ This is how I look at buying games as well. "How many beers do I have to skip at the bar." Cheers!
