Manhunters rep?

[=яενєηąŋŧ=]

Does anyone know if there's a way to increase your rep with the Manhunters?

I'm based out of Sho-Battai and I'm allied to the UC from bounties and the Slavers from buying slaves, but the Manhunters have attacked me in the field a few times and have recently started trying to raid my base. I beat them pretty easily, but every time I take a rep hit, and at this rate they're eventually going to reach Enemy level, and it's always annoying when I'm out hunting and show up and either attack outright or try to enslave my downed troops. The Slavers actually help me, heal my wounded, and don't try to enslave my guys since we became Allied and I'm hoping I can do the same with the Manhunters, but healing their downed characters doesn't work.

Side question, I've noticed that when they attack me near either UC Samurai or Slavers, they actually jump in and help me kill the Manhunters, which even gives the Manhunters bounties when they attack Samurai. Since as far as I know all the places they could take me to sell me or work me are UC cities and Slaver camps, is it possible that some of my guys could get enslaved and dragged to these places only to have the UC or Slavers immediately attack the Manhunters to help me? Because that would be funny.

According to the link above, the UC and Slave Traders consider the Manhunters as a neutral faction (see under Details - Relations).

You might think of Manhunters similar to Dust Bandits in terms of an enemy faction stronger than the low tier enemies like Hungry Bandits or Slave Hunters.

So no way to get them friendly? Shame. They're not particularly dangerous, but they have an annoying habit of showing up in the middle of a fight and slapping shackles on my downed people before I can stop them, and getting rid of the slave tag is annoying.

That sounds like a problem that can be solved by violence. Good, clean, honest violence.

I suspect that if they are a neutral faction, that you can sell the survivors as slaves. I may try this out later.

You definitely can. Slavers also enslave them when they're down.
