Broite Mid-Game Renown Farming Guide

Why Mid-Game Renown Farming Changes Everything

Broite players hitting the "Midame hump" face agonizing slowdowns: distant high-level bandits, multi-day research, and vulnerable new settlements. After analyzing this gameplay footage, I've identified the breakthrough solution: dedicated military squads for automated renown generation. This isn't just about combat efficiency; it's about transforming your economy. By separating 10-12 soldiers from your 25+ villagers, you create a perpetual renown engine while focusing on base development.

Core Mechanics of Army Automation

Squad composition requires strategic evaluation:

• Prioritize characters with 7+ combat stats (e.g., archery/agility like Annie Bington)
• Avoid critical economic roles (e.g., innkeepers) and "weakling" trait carriers
• Set food reserves to 4 units per soldier for extended deployments

Winter deployment advantages:

• 30% productivity debuff reduces economic impact of absent soldiers
• Shorter daylight hours increase passive farming opportunities
• Bandit camp respawn rates remain unaffected by season

Pro Tip: Start with 5-6 soldiers once you have 10 villagers, not waiting for tier 2 as shown here.

Optimized Renown Farming Tactics

Camp Positioning Strategy

1. Multi-camp triangulation: Position troops between 2-3 bandit camps (e.g., yellow zones near Farnworth)
2. Respawn monitoring: Move squads when loot notifications slow
3. Travel sign placement: Near farming zones for quick loot collection

Combat risk mitigation:

- Avoid neurotic-trait soldiers
- Recall at <50% health (like Crimson Reed)
- Never engage Brigands without backup

Renown Acceleration Techniques

• Combine statue crafting with passive farming
• Time quest turn-ins during deployments
• Liberate towns near bandit clusters for increased patrols

Advanced Settlement Synergy

Economic adjustments for sustained warfare:

1. Bronze shortage solutions:

   • Establish tin-buying routes from Padto
   • Relocate mining camps to untapped nodes
   • Restrict bronze sales in trade routes

2. Villager recruitment thresholds:

   Population	Military Cap	Economic Target
   30	10	20 workers
   36	12	24 workers

3. Tier 3 preparation:

   • Pre-build southern outposts with basic infrastructure
   • Transfer specialized workers between settlements
   • Stockpile iron before territory expansion

Essential Tools and Workflow

Immediate action checklist:

1. Audit villagers' combat stats daily
2. Create "Companions" squad separate from reserves
3. Set soldier food to 4 units pre-deployment
4. Monitor camp respawn timers (approx 2-3 real minutes)
5. Rotate troops home after 1,200+ renown gains

Recommended mods for efficiency:

• Settlement Management+ (enhanced job assignment)
• AutoLoot (prevents resource waste during farming)
• Better Party Commands (improved troop positioning)

Transforming Your Campaign

This army automation strategy generates 3,000-5,000 daily renown passively while you build, craft, or quest. The real power emerges when renown fuels villager recruitment, creating a snowball effect. By episode's end, the player had 35 villagers with minimal active effort.

Critical reminder: Always house new recruits immediately. Homeless soldiers suffer 25% combat penalties, undermining your investment.

Final strategic insight: Transition to southern expansion when your army can farm 2+ camps simultaneously. This signals readiness for tier 3 content and late-game territory control.
