Is there a way to increase hit rate? Im new to this game and suffer so much from it

[yilinj]

My brothers are missing almost everyshot even if I manage to surrond 3 enemies wwith 6 of my men. I just see them being cut down one by one without hit a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing. Enemies seems even somehow bypass my shield wall and kill my men in 2 hits...wth is this RNG.

Bless you!

Remember the idea of the game is to run a company. Men will die. And yes, thats the RNG of this game.

i was just playing the tutorial so far and cant even pass the start. With such bad RNG no wonder the brother lost to a 3 men ambush....pathetic

Use spears

[HellSlayer]

Spears but if enemies have shields use flails instead. Swords are also very good vs no-shield enemies.

[XuanKamoFurio]

spears, swords, the fast adaptation perk that was buffed this patch.

[km_md60]

TBH, it's a dice roll. Increasing hit rate in early game means more men, spear, and fast adaptation perk.

holy cow, i met with dire wolf, 3 attacks one turn, insta kill everyone...wtf

[yilinj]

A Caravan with 4 people can win a wolf pack of 3, but i cant beat them with 6-7men? what ?

This game has a steep learning curve. Keep an extra mouse handy for when you rage break the one your using.

[Wulf[NL]]

Use spears and shields in the beginnen. Keep learning, keep leveling your surviving brothers. Things will get better and you will get better.(Learn to judge the strength of the opposing force)
Stick to fighting Brigands (thugs) in the beginning. Avoid beasts like wolves which which kill you in seconds.

[WastedTrojan]

Spears and Goedendag give +20% to hit. Swords and pike weapons give +10%. Flails ignore the defense bonus of shields. Read the tool tips for the weapon attacks after the weapon is equipped. There are also perks that you can take like Fast Adapation, Backstabber or even Gifted for a few more points in melee attack.

you can check wiki for background which give what stats

[eddieballgame]

Practice, practice, practice, throw in some You Tube videos, then practice some more.
You will still die (a lot), but keep practicing.

First things first: The RNG is fair, a bunch of people checked it. Its a standard mersenne twister, which is what most computer programs use for RNG.

Second things second: spears, swords and shields are good for the early game, as well as making sure your bros have gear on both body and head. Surrounding enemies is also important, both to focus your attacks and to get the surround bonus. Polearms and pitchforks are also very useful to focus your attacks even more and to keep high-value bros out of harms way.

Third thing: Direwolves are brutal in the early game before you've got decent armor. 6 low level bros against three direwolves is winnable, but probably not worth the risk even on expert difficulty. The auto-battle between two NPC groups isn't that accurate, which is how a caravan can survive getting attacked by direwolves.
