Prisoners

[DVLOS]

Why is this is so difficult?
You would think Stocks would break a prisoner. Instead they will never join you. Ok.

So what do you do? Do you stand him up with 4 doots around them until they like you?
Do you put them all in a tent

HOW exactly do you build relationships with prisoners as each rest NOTHING happens. I also have one acting as my bard and he's picked up some skills, IF he ever recruits will he not be a bard?

I always let them next to a Mercanary thats positive than some Working Spot thats also positive like the Meat drying rack and enough food each rest that are 3x positive points each rest so he should be recruitable after like 4-6 rests

if you recruit, the profession will stay the same.

just feed them, heal them, give them a hair cut and toothpaste (not everything on the same day) and after a few rests (maybe 10 or 20 ?) they will ask you to join ... mine always ask me to join and I don´t want them - so I deny and after a some time they ask again ;-) !

Of course don´t use the stock for those prisoners ! and yes you need 5 mercs/animals (ponies) to guard them so they can´t escape !

just check the probability to flee in their stats ! this should be always 0% !
you can see if this changes after moving a merc/animal closer to them !

How do you give them haircut and toothpaste?

[DVLOS]

I figured out the Haircut but the toothpaste just seems to go to everyone if I put it in the campfire. Again should I have the prisoner SITTINGin the campfire surrounded by meatrack and people?

Give them ten toothpaste, and they'll take on the world for you.

Right click the toothpaste in your inventory.

The only prisoner I allowed to join me was the Wrongdoer for the "Looting Experience" which provides +30% Critical Damage for your troops. On my other 3 prisoners I use for camp work, I deny them about every 2-3 rests. Then I keep 3-4 in the stockades and put the criminal armor on them that increases carry weight (and later I should get the belt accessory for 50% carry weight).

It's all about surrounding them and keeping them at 0% escape chance. Don't use horses for it either as they dislike being treated as livestock. You can use toothpaste and haircuts like the above, but really as long as they are not around animals and you feed them, they should ask to join like the above poster mentioned in about 5-6 rests.

My longtime prisoners also ask me regulary to join - and they are guarded by ponies.. so even when you are treating them not so nice, finally they want to join maybe it takes longer !

I have 6-8 times, I have 2 dudes from the Brotherhood one lower level and one level 5 -- I have rested like 6-7 times with 0% chance to escape and the meat rack nearby. I always hear their trust has deepened after haircuts and toothpaste (between rests) now I am only giving 5-15 food over the requirement.

Their Chain status (profile, little chain) says they can trust the group or not.. and it does nto change. Overall I've had them with me for 10-15 rests. So I'm at wits end on how to make these morons happy.

If you see the screenshot above this is my guy after 200 rests... the other lower level one has finally converted. But this guy just won't.

You don't. Just sell them to get money and influence. Not worth it to recruit prisoners.

If you really want to recruit them fast first thing you do is heal their wounds, then shave and use toothpaste. Then give them a job and keep more mercs around them so they won't escape. Don't place animals next to them.

Only worth recruiting a Wrongdoer from bandits, recruits don't have a "skill tree" but Wrongdoers have a party buff just for fielding them. Any other prisoners use to turn in for gold influence and LOWER WANTED level.

Found a great way to steal is to sell a stack of gems and steal it back.
40 gems stack is same wanted as about 4 individual gems.
