Requires Vanilla Expanded Framework as it uses their hiring code. Also obviously requires Royalty DLC.

It does not, it just utilizes the comm console feature baked into the Vanilla Expanded Framework for Vanilla Factions Expanded Pirates.. It is purely an XML mod.

Does this add the ability to hire them if you manually send envoys to their bases? I'm playing low tech

You should still be able to hire both factions since the hire UI will list any factions you can hire from.

There is a strange occurrence I have noticed while using this mod alongside VFE-Pirates. I am not sure if this is known or not but it is worth noting if you intend to use both mods you can either hire the Empire, or you can hire Pirates. NOT BOTH. I imagine this comes down the the fact that this mod is using the VFE framework, thus the framework interprets the hiring of the empire as hiring the pirates making so players are unable to hire both simultaneously. I will make a post about this on the VFE pirates mod page as well, other players beware. Still love this mod.

FYI this mod should work automatically with 1.5 once the VE Framework is updated. I'll add the 1.5 tag to about.xml once 1.5 is here.

great now i can do my own empire!

My workers were kidnapped and the contract would not resolve, and it is impossible to cancel.
I did find a solution, but it is kind of messy. For those who have the same problem - spawn the kidnapped pawn, use Spawm World Pawn in Dev actions menu, then find and spawn pawns that were kidnapped one by one.

Hi - thanks for this great little mod, perfect for hiring on-demand labour!

Not sure if you're taking suggestions but I have some below if its possible to do a 'check' to see if Vanilla Apparel Expanded (VAE) and Vanilla Apparel Expanded — Accessories (VAEA) is installed and apply some of the clothing to them and maybe some new groups with higher cost per day?

Imperial Builders - Much higher base Construction and Crafting skills. If VAE is installed, give them a Jumpsuit, Apron, Builders Jacket, Hardhat, Boots, Gloves and, if VAEA installed, a Toolbelt.

Imperial Farmers - Much higher base Plants and Animals skills. If VAE is installed, give them Fleece Shirt, Overalls, Jeans (or any trousers), Boots and Gloves.

@Noisy Koi that would require some kind of C# which I cannot do, as the xml patch I am using is utilizing the Vanilla Expanded Framework's code. You're going to have to self enforce not hiring empire if you're hostile.
Noisy Koi 25 Aug, 2023 @ 9:11pm 
with the release of deserters, you can still hire imperials as deserters and while hostile to the empire. is there any way you can patch it so you can't hire imperials if you are hostile with the empire? or atleast that they would be hostile when they show up?
