How many soldiers, how many living cars

[xfojtik]

How many soldiers can you get? I am at start of chapter 6 and last soldier i get was on end of chapter 3.
I have 36 soldiers. What is exactly number of people living in 3 upgraded living cars.

So will you get some soldiers later? Does have sense to buy 4th living car?

[Commodus]

Yes to save everyone you need 4 troop cars:)

Upgrade the living spaces asap

THIS. Is there a maximum number of soldiers you can recruit or its unlimited?

[=яενєηąŋŧ=]

There is a limited number of soldiers available at specific points, and which ones will be available to you will depend on the paths you take at places where the rails fork.

As others have said, you will probably need 4 cars to get everyone you can possibly find in a playthrough to Vladivostok, assuming you don't have anyone die or desert along the way.

Seems like the total of troops is less or more depending what path you take.

If you go north your total is 36 troops

If you go south you get a total of 32 troops.

either way you will need 4 train cars to get mostly everyone.

(in my campaign i let one guy leave my train to protect two young girls. He knew the risk of that action, and now hes either dead or dead)

The Thing is the "safe" Way almost half of the Soldiers you pick up are useless either having Very bad traits or 1 good trait with like 2 bad ones The dangerous way awards you with better soldiers but it is significantly more difficult. Also the soldiers from the safe way are way more prone to desertion at least from what i found almost all of my soldiers from the south are now gone Im currently on Harbin what a shame they never got to Vladivostok.

Shame the 4th soldier car is kinda only needed for a handful of soldiers.

Is there a best way to get of unwanted/unuseful legionnaires? I tried abandoning a small squad of loser that I sent on a fetch mission. They took forever to die or whatever; in the meantime everyone else got very depressed.

Do the 4 wagons already account for taking 10 soldiers with you on the Moscow mission? (When you give combat roles to former pure laborers) I am in the Middle of chapter 6 through the North route now and just have 2 slots on the 4th wagon left and getting a little anxious ^^

This is wrong tho, I have 48 soldiers in north route

I finished the game yesterday - south route. I had no losses, did all side missions and tasks (did not bother to visit all scouting locations later in game though), picked up everybody who asked and my total was 41 soldiers.
I think some of the pick-ups are randomized.

Just curious which carriages are you taking to go with those 4 living cars?

It was not the original plan, but I ended up running Towing Bull with 4 infantry cars, 2 storage cars, workshop, kitchen and arty car - arty car enables you to easily train all your combat soldiers to level 5 worker, so they get +3 fitness (+60HP), the arty ability itself is not that great.

yall need 4 infantry cars to carry 36 people? I have the 3 infantry cars you start with fully upgraded and I have 36 slots for people.

I went the "hard" route and Im near the end of chapter 5 (at town of Chulem, 60 hours left with 2 towns before the last mission. My 2nd infantry car is full, the first one is missing one person (they died), and the 3rd car has 4 open bunks.

Did you even have a chance to let the person go?

I was a bit caught by surprise how this turned out to be, how he chose to stay with the two young girls. I was speechless
