Most fun Origin?

[Nox]

Im looking for a start that is a unique experience. I really loved the cultist one but I am not sure if there are any others on that level.

So whats your pick?

Im not a pro so lone wolf probably aint the way to go lol

The custom start of the first community challenge (you start with 3 nobles and you are only allowed to hire highborns and some serf) was a pretty fun one.

For the vanilla eperience i would say barbarians first and deserters at a close second place.
Edit: On further thinking about it, whipping some indebted to greatness might be unique too, but i havent done a long run with them, so far ... damn it, now i probably have too...

I'll double up on Raider start being my favorite. Even if I have questioned my sanity taking an escort mission without checking where I was escorting them to. Oops.

In terms of uniqueness, the Oathtakers and Anatomists origins are up there, both with fleshed out unique mechanics rivalling the cult.

[turtle225]

Manhunters also has very unique mechanics that will change how you approach the game, but it's also probably the hardest origin.

Anatomist is maybe the most similar to Cultist in feel. Weak early game but gaining more and more buffs over time, and the potions can allow for unique things that other origins can't do.

Flip a coin like a real warrior.

oathtakers is really fun, especially if you want whats basically a new set of ambitions to pursue

Thanks a bunch for tips. Started as oathtakers and having a blast atm.

Will give the raiders or anatomists a shot on my next run.

Thanks again.

Doing my first peasant militia run now and enjoying it far more than I thought I would. Granted, using the intelligent recruiter mod so not hiring any trash which does make this easier. Not using lots of weapon specializations, but almost everyone has backstabber which really helps with the "human wave" tactics this origin needs.
Not sure it would be as much fun without the mod, though

Lone wolf is easier than most origins at the start, maybe its just me lol The funnest is Anatomists I think.

Totally agree. LW was my early fav start - the restriction to number of bros, and the need to keep the LW alive, taught me a lot about how to play the game successfully and fine tune tactics, gear, contracts etc.

The very thought of peasant militia hordes now fills me with dread at all the waste of money needed to maintain the company.... Will I ever try it? Maybe, one day, when...

Peasant militia is cheap Melkof, you can field 5-6 maxed peasants for the price of a hedge knight or gladiator

[TomOfFinland]

Fun? Is this game supposed to be fun? I spend my hours playing the game in agony, and just when I think things are good, I get my best bros 2 shotted by raiders in single turn and I just ALT+F4. 2 hours later I start a new game.

The only expensive thing in peasant militia is feeding them!
