How do I give slaves orders

[Khorne Flakes]

So I just bought two slaves in the city of Heft and I want them to start mining. However they just follow me around, and they don't appear on my squad bar. How do I give my slaves an order?

they not your slaves
they are potential recruits. but you first must leave the area where you got them and then the game will do a rng and see if they will join you, or run away.

So when I purchase a slave, it isn't actually a slave, just a POTENTIAL recruit which has a chance of running away, or MAYBE joining based on rng? Then what's the point of even buying "slaves" at all?! I might as well just go and recruit a guaranteed party member at a bar for an extra 2000 cats.

PLEASE tell me there are plans in the future to actually implement a proper slavery system for players in the game. ;-; Would make for a really interesting system of having to keep slaves in-line in exchange for cheaper labor.

I agree, the slave system should take an approach separate from just another squad member.

For now, though, it's the same if you free the slaves. Some run away immediately, some choose not to flee out of fear, and some take up arms and join you and will ask to join your team as soon as you leave the area you freed them from.

There is a mod adding real slavery.

some slaves you buy can have better stats then basic recruits. and when recruits in bars run out, you got a steady supply at the slavers.


and there is no current plans to let players become slavers.

Eh, just seems like a pretty big oversight on the devs' part to not include something like a slavery system when two of the major factions practice it. Ah well, guess I'll stick to being a slave liberator. Death to the United Tyrants!

Dev stated that slavery isn't meant to benefit the player, it's something for the player to struggle against. Buying slaves would be more of a RP moral thing for the player, buying their freedom, not necessarily buying them. You can play a anti-slaver supporter but still be moderate with the United Cities by buying slaves and then letting them go kind of RP.

Apoco-Taco has it right.
it was never meant for the player, but a tool and something more to do in game for the player to overcome. and handy way to make cats if you drop off npcs into the slavers. just note, you cant recruit those you drop off. you can still buy them but their chances of joining your are zero.

That seems kind of silly considering how open the rest of the game seems to be.

But the thing is we can't actually explore that 'RP moral thing', as it is essentially ALWAYS buying their freedom/being a moderate with either a neutral/ill opinion on slavery. There is no other exploration on the morality of slavery(besides selling people into slavery, INCLUDING your party members). Just seems a bit silly(as Tweed puts it) that you can go and kill dozens of innocents in a town or sell people INTO slavery, but you can't actually own and use slaves.

I'm glad that the developer included it as being something the player can struggle against, but leaving it the way it is just(in my opinion) is a huge missed opportunity for what this game presents itself as, especially since it's in a setting where slavery takes almost center-fold in it's society/economy.

Didn't say I disagreed with you, just saying why the dev didn't put it in.
