Hi, the banner 3 arena is broken. Are you ok?

Thanks for the good work, cheers!

Hey mate, just wanted to say thankyou for every contribution you've made to the Banner Saga trilogy. Over the years, when I've browsed the forums in search of advice/help acquiring an achievement, you're always there, proffering genuinely helpful answers, so to reiterate, thankyou.

Happy Halloween!

And once more for the folks at home.

And just for good measure one more!

take another award! Your amazing and your banner saga support is amazing. Hope life gets less hectic!

Thanks for the "Profile Award" whoever it was that granted it I know I've been absent for a long while on Steam and the Banner Saga forums, especially; real life & work have taken the best of me... I hope I can rise again! Forge ahead.

Hi, could you help me with a number of achievement unlocks for Banner Saga? I should have been credited for a number of unlocks (e.g. Hard mode complete, no lost battle, no morale dipping low, Alette innocent, no hunger death, and Egil makes it alive), but none of them unlocked. I assume it has to do with changing difficulty or whatever other bugs, and I noticed you offered to help with codes in several threads. Thanks in advance.

Aleo the guru. just wanted to stop by and thank you for the insane amount of questions you have unknowingly answered for me on steam and reddit. you are the man. Im also greek so... bravo file ki efcharistó

Have you run through BS3 Survival Mode on Hard yet? Any advice on parties/builds?

Hi there. I've seen you post a lot about TBS series. I'm a big fan too. I'm running into a bug in BS2 and I'm attempting to address it by editing my save files. I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. I sent you a friend request so that I can message you directly.
Thanks.

Thx for the reply, i really appreciate it.

Hey I know you have played banner saga alot and have been willing to help with questions before so I was wondering if you could help with a list I am makeing of fights with a locked in party like the Bellower fight so peopole can plan for it and be able to level their guys up with this information in mind here is a link to a discussion I have started to try and collect this information.
https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/app/237990/discussions/0/1762481957322272568/

I've heard from most that Banenr Saga only has a singular file (unless you copy it to a new one), but I've seen you say there are multiple datas you can have without messing up your primary save file. Is this true? I am anxious to play BS3 and want to replay 1-2 first :D

totally doing a BS1 -> BS2 -> BS3 playthrough in July. Its going to be epic

I can't belive they are releasing early :D

Hello - I was hoping to get your opinion on some trouble I've had with Banner Saga 2 in survival mode. I can't seem to get past Battle 33 with 4 varl. Here's a discussion I started about it: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/app/281640/discussions/0/2949168687329345445/

Hello Aleo. Im doing some basic programing and as i love the Banner Saga i figured id see if i could make a custom mod. I'm interested in adding extra content such as side quests etc. Any idea where i should begin? or is such a thing currently not possible/available?

someone is still playing Factions? :P

I was wondering if you had found a way to get infinite upgrade points in banner saga 2 with console ~dev commands

Hi Aleo! Just wrote you an open letter (not typing it here, so other people may also see it and comment) :

Hey Congrats we saved Ubin and get the Eternal Arena!

@efoxy -- Saga2 might start a bit on the easy side for you, it seems

I ended up finding a safe place on day one which to my surprise netted +10 renown. I fought every other day. Feel pretty good about the ending. Max morale, 30+ days supplies, 70+ spare renown with around 9 level 5s. Eyvind with 4 spare points in hand waiting for his new Will cap. Krumr with a level 5 plus aggro item that will be going to Falka. Bersi and Mogun with some lower rank items to help augment Bolverk's item starved campaign. Looking forward to this TBS2 run!

@efoxy -- The optimum path is always going for max Renown. In this sense, doing battle and coming out victorious every time is the route, imo. Ash Mead item is not bad, but if you're planning to play Saga2 right up, you'll get many more powerful items there, so don't worry about that!

During the Boersgard sequence, what would you consider as an optimal finish for TBS1 with intentions to immediately play TBS2? Battle every chance to max kills/renown? Combination of finding safe place for caravan/battle? Or does it involve either getting the (I think) 70 supplies from the Ravens vs doing the little sub quest to get Ash Mead item (which I never knew about until just now) vs completing quest for 20 renown plus ability to buy supplies at 8 per?

Personally for this run, I am good enough to finish the game on supplies without running out, and the +1 Will per turn / +2 STR is a really interesting item for a number of characters. Its another mender battery that makes them less squishy, it would suit someone like Alette well (until other gamebreaking items are introduced) or could even go nicely on a first turn Warhawk like Gunnulf who probably only has 3 Will.

Also man, looks like TBS3 is about to hit the Survival mode streach goal ^^

Cool thanks man, I think the wife and I are gonna give it a try (Armello.) Also thought the Great Whale road looked interesting, if not alot like TBS. Im on Elder scrolls kick this week casue Im stuck on a so-so gaming laptop while traveling and oblivion and Skyrim play relly well on sub-par graphics cards

Thanks Aleo, took your advice the other day and low and behold people were onlne, I even got an instant queue battle for rank 6! Hey btw I thought that Armello game looks really really cool, I see you did too! I gotta try that one.

What time are folks logging into factions these days? Just got it again on my laptop

Wanted to thank you for your help in terms of getting TBS to reinstall. I really appreciate you taking the time and for posting a response on the discussion thread so quickly. BTW, feel free to ignore the friend request, as I didn't intend to click on it and was intending to respect your privacy.

yay

Aleo what is your best combo for TBS2 Survivor Mode? Notice any interesting imbalances with characters otherwise not available to play together or that can benefit from the different turn order?

I have generally be running Iver, Mogr, Rook, Alette, Falka, Eyvind, which is pretty unoriginal except that there are no warhawks. I make a beeline to get Iver to level 6 and learn tempest. Im wondering if theres a good mix using Bolverk to lay waste to multiple enemies per turn, since thats not going to impact your order as much. Definitely challenging though, I keep running into some bumps at the kragsmen fights.

Пили русский для саги, ну пожалуйста :С

I just wanna say that already having 99 hours in tBS2 makes me jelly

Exactly, I'm trying my best, yet completing my backlog is a Herculean task :D

Sadly, I didn't play Gray Matter yet ^_^

Geia sou Aleonymous.Mhpws xereis pote tha bgei to Banner Saga 2?

Big thx for the great help at the time of need ;)

Don't be afraid to look up guides because the learning curve of Paradox games are fairly high and if you have questions on any specific aspects of the game feel free to just send me a message in chat. GLHF! :)

On CK2, Ireland is the noob tutorial island. That's the best spot to learn everything because you're fairly isolated, neighbors aren't too threatening but there is options for expansion and progress in the game. You could pick any of the counts there or you could design your own ruler if that option is available to you (I think it's dlc) because it'll familiarize yourself more with the traits your characters can have.

So the most important thing for new players in CK2 is to set a goal for yourself because unlike a lot of other games, CK2 doesn't set objectives for you. Start small to familiarize yourself with game mechanics. Something like, become a duke in ireland, or survive long enough to play as your character's kids. Once you're comfortable enough with the game, then you could go for achievements and stuff.

Well I had a list of stuff I was gonna say then saw my previous comment on your profile. Well played. Now I lost my train of thought lol. Let's see... eum Rogue Legacy wasn't as hard as expected but now I'm stuck on the remix bosses. So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard. Getting pretty frustrated. Did you manage to get that far?

So since you seem to have played quite a bit of Rogue Legacy, any tips for a complete noob like me? xD

that screenshot was from TES III: Morrowind, not skywind or skyblivion, but yes I am, very much so

hmmm just checked your hour count, i have 375 hrs recorded, and only 52 renown compared to your 3k :( haha so im guessing i invested in too much...is three r3 backbiters too much? hahaha

Greece? I have family there :)
