Inducements are a great way to turn a one-sided match into a ... slightly less one-sided match. But in the Cyanide Blood Bowl game, the menu is very non-intuitive and clunky. Worse, in multiplayer, you're on a timer (!) so that's the worst time to look at your options and figure it out. If you know how much inducement you're getting before a match, you're probably better off deciding what you want well beforehand, and just taking it when the menu comes up.
Here's what the main menu looks like:
The sections are pretty straightforward. "Star Players and Mercenaries" is for buying mercs and star players (go figure), "Fair Play" is for boring stuff like wizards, "Foul Play" is for awesome stuff like bribes, "Extra Training" has rerolls and Bloodweiser Babes.
"Potions" is for some optional stuff that nobody uses.
All of the menus work the same except for the Star Players and Mercenaries. Clicking on the button (the one on the center bottom!) brings up a sub-menu:
Under "Mercenaries", you have a dropdown menu for any position you'd normally be able to buy. You need a "Slot" free, so if you've already maxed out a position, you can't get more. But of course you can always get more linemen! Whatever the position, a mercenary costs 30k more than they usually would (and get Loner). You can buy an extra skill from their normal selection for 50k. Once you've selected what you want, click "Hire". Clicking "Confirm" without first clicking "Hire" just brings you bacak to the main inducement menu, make sure you "Hire" if you want one.
Star Players work the same way, select them from the "Star Players" dropdown menu:
Again, once you decide who you want, click "Hire" FIRST, then "Confirm".
All other menus are much more straightforward. Click on what you want, and a "Buy" button appears:
Once you click "Buy", select how many:
Click the "+" and "-" until you're at the right amount, then click "Accept".
Once you've "Bought" something, it shows up under "Bought Inducements" on the right. When you're done, click "Inducement Results" on the bottom left.
You get one last screen:
... where everything you've bought is displayed for you to review. If you're happy with what you've selected, click "Start of match" and unleash what you've just bought on your opponent!
If not, the "Back Arrow" at the bottom left brings you back to the previous menu. Remember that you're on a timer in multiplayer though.
Good Luck!
