This War of Mine Strategy & Tactics 1: Katia, Pavil and Bruno 

3 years later and I'm just finding these guides, thanks a ton

The inventory tip when scavenging at night was the best tip you could of ever told me.

Pinstar tip: "Don't use the stove at level 1" Me: explains why I keep running out of resources

Two things: First, I finally figured out that you sound like a combination between Winney the pooh and Piglet. Second, and possibly unrelated but who knows, I'm addicted to your videos. This is a VERY underrated channel. Bravo for being relevant and informative. Your pacing is great theres not BS, no annoying gimmicks, just solid/efficient gameplay. I've been watching since you made the Banished playthrough. Very hard to deviate from your strategy. Its solid.

The moment you said 'double click to make them run' I was hooked. OMG, why had nobody told me that!!!!! Thank you :D

Just re-loaded this game for the new master edition. Thanks for the tip about the "Master Stash". That will be a massive time saver for this playthrough.

just start to play this game and find such nice tips & tricks from you make it's easier to play. thank you

Great tips! Thanks for doing this. Such an involving, intriguing game. You feel real empathy for the characters.

Another tip you guys is when revisiting a location that you've already picked clean tho not recommend can still be useful in supplies. If you have an Axe you can chop furniture for wood. Do this if your really desperate and have nothing to trade for wood. Kata is the best trader in the game she will be able to get a lot more out of traders then any other scavenger, so keep her safe. Listen to the radio it will let you know what is going on in the city, it will tell you what's been increasing/decreasing in price with items, example: coffee. If coffee has increased in price that means buying coffee from traders will be pricey but selling it will give you more items for bargern. It will also tell you when crime is high or winter is coming. It will also increase your survivor's mood when music is played. There's a lot more to the game but here are some small tips to add in :D

made it to day 45 on my first time playing it, on Day 45 my last person commited suicide. rip

The best LP I´ve ever seen of this game. I´ll use it as a guide.

Very usefull guide for 1st time player.Great advice on prioritising and strategies and how best to get started.Thanks for posting!

Hi, Pinstar, you can feed your characters one meal for every three days. You know normal state only last for one day, "hungry" state last for two days, and "very hungry" state last for two days as well. Every meal feed to the character, the hunger would go above one level at its initial state. If you want to maximize the food efficiency, you should have your character feed on the second day of the "very hungry" status. Normally "hungry" is OK, "very hungry" is not very good since it slows down characters from recovery of sickness and injury, and it might increase the chance for getting sick. However, it is acceptable if you encounter food shortage sometimes,as long as your characters are not sick or wounded or in bad mood. But never let people get into "starving" state, because it might affect the moods for the entire team. And do not let roman become very hungry, he might beat someone up.

It's interesting watching how other people play. I usually prioritise fixing the holes in the walls and installing an alarm, as I find you're raided much less often

Using tab key toggles between characters. Using right click on item stacks, moves the whole stacks. Your guide rocks

A very nice strategy. I might need to start over now that I got Pavil killed on the 22nd day. With your strategy guide I now know that I can feed my people every 2 days with a cooked meal. Thank you for this. And if I get lucky and get Ramon later, I know how to take the military base.

Solid video. Thumbnail was neat and appealing which drew me to click the video. Your tips were solid and the gameplay was smooth. Very underrated channel I would say. Keep it up man!

Really enjoying this. I suck at this game and learned quite a lot.

Very nicely done video and efficient! I'll check out your other videos ^^

Thank you so much for this video it helped me enjoy the game alot more even if im a couple years late

Absolutely GREAT you by far the best TWOM player that I have ever seen on RU-vid = and I have see many. When you were on nite 2 @ the Shelled Cottage I was saying to myself what I would pick for the last slot - WATER - we think alike keep up the great lets plays you have a new sub

I never would've thought of using a master pile, nor did I realise the importance of the moonshine still. Thank you kind sir, have a sub and many likes!

Good tip about the shovel, as the weapon! Didn't know that.

Nicely done Pinstar

Nice work Pinstar.

Thank you. This video really helps.

Great walkthrough! This should allow me to survive the sickness, many subtleties in this game that are easily overlooked, especially when you run away from rats like a baby! A bit of constructive criticism if you could compile the cuts of your tips into one cohesive beginners guide to surviving This War of Mine I think it would benefit your channel and those of us who flee from rats. Thanks for taking the time to share your tips, take care!

Thanks for the tips!!

yeah, the sims but much darker

Great guide, I just started with the game, tried twice so far and everyone ended up starving to death or leaving.

Nice video, will help me on my next run ^__^

Great video and commentary! I'm glad I subscribed to your channel and I hope you have many other videos for other games. I'm not a pc gamer but a PS4 & Xbox gamer, do you also have videos for those consoles? . This is the 1st time I've left a comment so I'm not even sure how I'll know if and when you respond to my questions! Well now on to video 2 of "This War of Mine"! Thanks again brother, you've made this a little bit easier to NOT DIE all the time lol!

Nice guide, cheers.

Love the tips

really helpful in a way thank you

Finally, someone who understands the game!

Great video 📹 😊

That stash thing is genius, I'm hurt I never thought of that feel so stupid

"it's like the Sims only a lot darker" lul

i just started playing the game and i think i wont be able to bypass winter any time soon cuz one of my characters always die during winter, either killed by thugs or soldiers. when a character die I would always reset a new game. this video is so informative and easy to understand so I'm going to subscribe and keep watching your playthrough of this war of mine, and I hope you can go through winter ^_^

Got this game over 18 months ago, but only played it once, and only for a bit more than an hour. It resided in my backlog category until now, but as much as I like the game's setting, I'm not patient enough to learn the ins and outs of the game by playing or reading. Maybe I'll try again after watching this series, or maybe I'll decide I had my fill of the game and move on.

Very helpful

very helpful thank you

Would not have been better to send out Pavle, first, he is the Fast Runner and can get the night raid/scavenge done faster, and second, Katia has Bargaining Skills, so you would want her to have had some sleep if the Trader comes around?

speed up the video to 1.25 you wont miss anything and the video is a lot easy-er to get everything

thanks for the tips😙😙

thanks man this video helped now I know what to do (left you a 🖒)

I saw that u left stuff in the backyard, maybe u noticed some episodes later but I have not seen them yet!

trust me and set the time to 1.5, if u are gonna watch whole videos.

Marin is a blessing if he's in your shelter. My Workshop (the main, not metal workshop) was all the way updgraded at only Day 3.

Between *constant* bandits stealing my stuff, the super high cost of even the most basic of items in trading, and the depression that sets into my characters from getting items the only way we can, stealing, I just cannot make it through this game to save my life.

You've missed a pile at the *Abandoned Cottage* at the right side of the house.

That's the 3 I like going with too, other than my customized self. I am at Day 22 now, and food is short; I want to start killing for food; desperation sets in.

I feel like this game was inspired by The Last of Us by it's tone, music and style

Right click to drop or pick up the whole stack in the inventory lol

OOOHHHHH, Poopy Pants!!!!! 28:34 Great video man! Thank you!!!!!!

You sound like Pooh! And I love it. :D

this game has a good soundtrack

i still like to use lock pick there because it leves me with 1 more slot to use and carry stuff, i guess i can also leve the crowbar there but that would leve me without weapons for the next night... so...

Very helpful but one thing: Dont put bruno on guard because he is gonna be a traitor if someone attacks your house while you scavangeing :-)

how in the hell do you have the same placements as I do for all structures??? lol. =) good video ty.

its not Pavil its Pavle dude

will u be doing another lets play of banished with the new mods and iam still wondering if i should get this ive see a few lets

Lock picks are gone after you use them thus freeing up inventory if needed for scavenging, but may not be worth making the resource wise.

I barely made it. Everyone was starving by the end, but we made it.

one of the best android games ever. does anyone know any other good games similar?

i subbed you deserved it!

wait.. are you the guy who does the radio in fallout 4?

y didn't u just get your 2nd bed on the first day? Then Pavle would have not slept poorly

Please do a little ones strategy tactics. I have this dad and his daughter. I just got Brono on my team but so far the little girl is useless I have no idea what to do with her.

i do not have hearth to play it when shit start to happen. So i will restart until i get all of characters to end

My game glitches out and I couldn't scavenge half of the house... Is that a glitch? Idk.

Is there a downside to having your characters run from one spot to another? (maybe they get hungry or tired sooner?)

This War of Minecraft I’m sorry

Wow... after I watched your video... I realise I have been not thinking out of the box... The dropping materials and stuff at the nearest entrance after looting stuff is brilliant... Damn... I feel I am an idiot now...

hmmm i would have taken the guy with 17 slots over pavel, but you seem to know what you are doing. also like how you talk and think so i subbed.

If he says "umm" or "uhh" one more time my head is going to explode!!

What's bad about burning books?

“Pavil”

I beat the Game

Yo dude turn your mic up I can I have to turn my volume almost on max to hear you clearly

This guy is clearly reading his entire into and it’s take 47.

How do books help you

I try single dad with child... its tough

Keemstar or pinstar

Eat every 2 dys from day 3 (Day 3,5,7,9,11,ect)

Pavle is my name and its not pronounced pavl its with `e` at the end

This is like the sims? That's like comparing band of brothers to barbie.

Katia you have barganing skills not ADD skills XDDDD

I ended up raided on my first night :( they stole all my wood >~

They should make this game in third person view

katia is pronounced ka-shi-a

its like the sims????? what r u on when you play sims? cuz this is nothing like sims man lol

Dude STOP SAYING UHH. aNd pausing mid sentence. No reason for that

why not make the video short like ten minutes or less if you are going to talk about hints and tips. :P damn bruh

This game is bad.

You are definitely using cheat dude theres no way cottage shelled has all that dude no friking way
