Any way to convert rescued slave followers?

[Democracy Officer 0311]

I've played for a while now but pretty much only recruited crew from the bars. With the recent update i started a new playthrough and soon found myself rescuing a couple unlucky ladies from a holy nation town. They're following me around now,fighting my fights and collecting loot all on their own. But i can't feed them and they'll prob starve soon if i can't figure out how to command them. Is there a way to do that?

Iirc. those that randomly follow after being released from cages offer to join you or run off when you're far enough away from the faction they're running from. Keep in mind they'll still be escaped slaves though!

I advise you get the 'recruitable prisoners - with dialogue' mod! It allows you to capture foes/freed slaves in your own cages, and then you can attempt to add them to your faction or squad.

Ah yeah i actually have that mod. Didn't think to try it on freed npc's though. I'll do that. Thanks for the info.

They should automatically either join or leave after walking a certain distance away. I've never had any that stayed with me for a long period.

Yeah these two have stayed with me for a few ingame days now. Maybe it's because i built my base in Holy Nation territory which just so happens to be where i rescued them from. i dunno. But they are stuck with me until they starve or die in combat. Although i will try the cage recruitment first.

You may have to switch biomes or something? I don't know - they always make their choice when I leave town after I free them.

Yeah i'd try running them out if i weren't so deep in Holy Nation territory. But i got cages and all. What better way to build a family than to throw them into a cage and beat them until they love me anyways?

I don't think changing biomes will do it, it may be something else. I've freed and had slaves join me while remaining in the desert biome.

Using the recruit prisoner mod is definitely the way to go though. If they don't join you on there own it might solve the problem.

That's good news tho because i have a feeling smuggling these two across the HN lands would get them killed pretty fast.. Get me killed pretty fast..So yeah I'll just cage them until e're a happy family. Thank the mod gods for recruit a prisoner.

For me they've generaly been more willing to join when I freed them from cages as opposed to paying for their freedom. That could be just my luck. And they generally join me not far from where I freed them. Jumping Biomes isn't necessary.

Currently have 14 slaves in my squad that need a name. I really have to get round to naming the little weaklings lol ;o)
