What to do for peace talk?

[Rick Grimes]

My colony is brand new, we have been raided once and we captured the raider who is now recruited. So 4 colonist is total. Recently, we got an invitation for peace talks with the hostile tribe. I do have a colonist with good social skills, an 11 with double passion. So I would send them yes? Only problem is that they have an annoying voice and are staggeringly ugly. I didn't realise this until after I had already started the game. Is it okay to send them over for peace talks as the negotiator? I dont want this having negative effects or result in losing this colonist as they're the second best colonist. Do I also need to bring something like a gift? The place isnt very far away so they could make it there and back.

You dont have to bring a gift, as far as from my experience only there Social skill counts, so you should not send anyone whos wounded or lacks in social skills. Usually enough food is enough to send them with on there way, and if it has a negative effect then dont worry. Since you can capture there peeps, treat them up and send them back for a constant +15 points in that relationship anyway.

I only want to send one colonist and they're incapable of being violent. If what you say is true then I should be alright, the place is very close so I should be able to make it, thanks!

Dont worry, the event itself is offscreen, so you dont have to do something actually, it either tells you if it worked or not via a small message on the top left corner. Your Colonist then should be able to return as normal.

Thanks a lot for your help, I sent my colonist with two food, the peace talks went well (still -20) and they gave me some silver. The colonist also gained 6000 social skill. On the way back they ran into a caravan that had some really good items to trade. Using the silver I got from the peace talks I picked up 20 medicine which was helpful. A bit while later another peace talk oppurtunity came up with the same tribe. It went well as well, this one pushing us over into the green.
