Occidental heroes Wiki

This wiki is a work-in-progress at the moment. Feel free to edit!

*Occidental Heroes* is a mobile RPG game where you go on quests, explore, and fight enemies in a turn-based setup! It is very similar in principle to the well-known video game *Battle Brothers.* It takes place in "the Occident" and is set in a colonial time-period settlement - similar to a 1400-1500 new world colony. The weapons available are unfortunately rather primitive, with only bows and handheld blunt-force weapons acquirable in the game.

## Gameplay

The game begins with you selecting your character and creating your company. Specifically speaking, 3 types of playable characters exist: men-at-arms, who are the basic tank unit of the game, fencers, who can use special combination moves but lack substantial protection, and archers, who are the staple ranged unit of the game. After selecting your personal character, handpicking the members of your company, and editing buff settings, you will thereafter proceed to christen your company and edit your coat of arms (this has no effect on any gameplay). After your company is created, the game will send you off to a randomly named ship designated to travel the West of Trentier. Disembarking there you get off in Auhert's Beacon and start your adventure.

From this point, it is suggested that you first buy a map from the marketplace and then play a minimum of two rounds in the fighting pits: the first would consist of aimless bandits that you could easily pick off with arrows, and the second would be slightly more challenging but doable. Battle gameplay is simple but requires much strategic movement: try to use bottlenecks and cover to your advantage. Next, it would be ideal for you to accept the first couple of missions from the local tavern (The Silky Siren), which are to slaughter a pack of wolves and a bear respectively. Subsequently, feel free to travel all across the map: just keep yourself busy with 3-6 quests at one time and stock up adequately on food in a marketplace from time to time. Remember that it is best at first to stay in close proximity to Auhert's Beacon: wherever you go, you will always lose a specific amount of food rations depending on the ground of which you travel on.

The main objective is to achieve each character's goal, which varies wildly depending on the character's biography, and earn sufficient money for them to retire/solve their personal issues. Then you retire them and hire new members, until all the 15 (16 with Expanded Edition) characters currently in-game were part of your team once.

There are also other locations on the map where you can do more missions. All areas will be listed in locations.

## Trivia

Please note that each time a character wil be mentioned in this wiki, it will be by his default male name in-game and not by his backstory (e.g. the flamboyant brigand will always be referred as Grif the Hand, or just Grif). Moreover, you may know (and if you don't, well, now you will) that the company founder's backstory always replace one of the other characters (e.g. if for the first character you create, you choose the fencer class and the flamboyant brigand/glamorous outlaw, he will replace Grif the Hand, who would have been the flamboyant brigand had you not chose this backstory). You can see each character's biography in this page.
