The Tower of Ninjas and the Dimak & Buzan problem.

[Daryl]

So i went to the tower of Ninjas with a hired mercenary group of 3
at the tower i engage combat and flee, so the mercenary group handle most of the ninjas as I also take part in it.

Accidentally in the 2nd floor stairs of the Tower of Ninjas, I killed Dimak by extreme head injury. and Buzan lost two limbs in the whole fight and passed out due to bloodloss.

the Mercenary squad are all dead. and what remained of the Black Dragon Ninjas are 4-6 crippled ninjas.

Ended up using all the first aid kit I have on treating every single one including Buzan and tucking them in the beds of the tower before carrying off Dimak's corpse for the 50% reduced bounty.

...I really hope Buzan and his cripple ninjas survive and they rebuild and recruit more ninjas or become exceptional cripple ninjas for me to take on when i return...

but i dont think the AI in the game would go that far...
...is it safe to assume that when i return, the ninjas would just be those survivors and Buzan crawling? since i doubt they'll also add cybernetic limbs since i mean... theres no place that sells it in very far distances..

Unless you explicitly give them cybernetic limbs no NPC will have them.

Yep. thought so.. so i take it if i return there, him and his surviving gang would come out crawling? they dont recruit more NPCs do they?

I mean I know some places like Fog Men adds more to their numbers. like I saw an outpost that had "44 Fogmen"
then came back 4 days later and its "56 Fogmen"

Many NPCs will respawn, but unique and permanent NPCs will lose their limbs (or lifes) forever. Respawn happens on loading a save btw.

Fogmen are nest related squads and there is no limit how often they will respawn. Destroyed nests will respawn, when you load the next time. The numbers of fogmen per nest is somewhat random so but is fixed after spawing the nest.

Any occupants left at the Tower of Ninjas will typically stay there pretty much as they are. Superficial wounds may heal, but should you return later, the crippled should still be crawling around.

It can be kind of amusing to pop back in from time to time to see how they're getting on.

An exception to this is if either of the two leaders are brought away from the Tower and then allowed to escape. This causes them to despawn (as in: that instance of the character will be permanently removed from your game), and then if you return to the tower, a new copy of that leader will spawn there. This version will have the original bounty, a new inventory, full health, all limbs, etc. Also the leaders have a fresh bunch of goons that spawn in alongside them, too.

This goes for many of the other lesser bandit leaders around the world as well. So long as they don't die, you can respawn them as many times as you like - Meitou weapons and all.
