How can I hire a watchmen as worker?

[Jean Dupleix]

I have an Angel who was automatically assigned to watchmen before I had a chance to hire her. Even after a reload she was not hireable.
A further problem with automatic jobs (merchant, watchmen ) is that they are often ask hireable with increased wages which is a problem as wages are set by business and not individually.
I wish that I could either veto employments as watchmen because after all I am an elder and have half the elder vote or it was easier to offer a worker job to a watchman.

This is intentional, in regards to world building. Some jobs are infrastructure jobs that do things in the background and it’s better for the game world to have these jobs be filled. This is one of the side effects of having a world that actually runs on actions and not fakery.

The only way to directly remove a watchman is to be the town reeve, the elders don’t control the watchmen, the reeve does. However I wouldn’t recommend abusing this.

Thanks for the quick response.
When there is no town reeve (yet), as is the case in my game, I thought that elders were appointing watchmen.

[Atorcoppe]

Correct, but this appointment of watchmen isn’t a personal decision for an individual elder to make. They decide automatically based on criminal record and corruption of the individual, and in some cases relationship status.
