The Arena is also tied with one of the new BB starts: Gladiators, which allows you to start with three experienced gladiators at the city with the arena. It also creates an entirely-different battle experience by focusing on smaller-scale encounters even as you get later into the game. It provides an alternative to traditional quests where you trade your ability to level up your entire squad with having a consistent and repeatable source of gold from one location. It’s challenging, but worthwhile.īottom line? The Arena is fun.
Rarely, the arena offers the opportunity to participate in a three-round tournament where you deploy five brothers and can obtain a piece of famed gladiator gear as a reward. Alongside money, every so often a bonus piece of (good) gladiator equipment is provided in the prizes. Winningthese challenges rewards you a reasonably-decent amount of money. Before combat, you’re told what you will be facing, which can be groups of beasts or humans. Rather than bringing your entire company, instead you field a group of 3 and fight a quick battle with a similarly-sized or slightly larger enemy group. The Arena is one of the best new features of the DLC, since it allows for an alternate mode of combat. The various bombs offer some effective damage, which are an especially potent tool on tougher battles in the hands of a brother with extra bag slots. Considering the expense of these new items, I usually prefer crafting to outright purchases. Some of these new items also can be crafted at the Taxidermist if you have the Beasts & Exploration DLC. Its stock includes a mixture of new equipment (bombs, guns, and gunpowder) and things that any experienced BB player will recognize, such as antidotes.
The Alchemist is located in all three of the city-states and houses many useful items. The Blazing Deserts DLC adds two new buildings to the game: the Alchemist and the Arena. While these areas exist primarily for the purpose of tying the new features of the expansion together, they are flavorful and provide a region with Middle Eastern flavor that is integrated well within the overall Battle Brothers experience. These new features include things such as weapons, buildings, armor, new backgrounds for hiring, and new quests. Each of these cities may be built in a manner similar to cities in the northern part of the map, but give access to a number of the features that are unique to the south. The traditional BB map is pushed farther south with three large, rich city-states added.
