This is a mod for Battle Brothers that adds the "Battle Fatigue" mechanic.
Playing the game optimally in sense of advancing the company faster in terms of in-game days requires you to not pass on fights if they are in your path. There is no downside to it. In this setting most of the fights are not challenging and do not pose a threat to your bros. Much of the game's fun comes from gambling with the fate of your bros and having a reasonable chance of losing a good bro.
This mod makes the decision to take on an easy fight not as clear cut.
The "Battle Fatigue" effect gives a temporary penalty to maximum fatigue and resolve when a brother participates in a battle. It has the following effects and mechanics.
For each battle round after the first, accumulate -0.4 maximum fatigue and -0.2 resolve per round. The maximum penalty per battle is -2 to maximum fatigue and -1 to resolve. The effect is applied after the battle. Will recover 30% per day of the penalty to maximum fatigue to a minimum of 2 per day. Will recover 15% per day of the penalty to resolve to a minimum of 1 per day. The resolve penalty can be treated in a temple for 60 gold. It will reduce the penalty by 75%.
With this mod chaining fights has a cost and it may become significant, weakening your company for the big fights. Maximum fatigue is reduced twice as much each fight, but if the penalty becomes high enough it will recover faster. The resolve penalty accumulates slower, but it will recover slower when high. You may need to hit the temple to continue taking fights in a fast pace.
Quick fights will result in less of a hit to maximum fatigue and resolve. If a fight is finished in less than 6 rounds, the penalty will be lower, allowing to take more than 1 fight per day without accumulating a large penalty. Retreating in the beginning of a fort battle on easy terrain would result in a 2 turns penalty. For normal fights and if on rough terrain retreating is not fast enough and some of your bros will get more battle fatigued.
Because of reduced battle frequency your bros will have lower morale and having a drink in the tavern is more valuable.
