Suggestions/Recommendations
Just to prevent clutter later, I'm making this thread as a hub for recommendations and suggestions. Drop anything you want and/or want to see in the mod, and if I like it and/or believe it's possible, I'll take a hop at it and see.

"(?)" Denotes something I may or may not complete, and is very much something that could never happen. With this in mind, please do not request development updates on these features, as they may not happen until I feel the mod is "feature complete."

"(!)" Denotes something I am planning on/already/starting on doing.

"(...)" Denotes something I am unsure of how to do, am unable to do, and/or requires investment on my part that I am unwilling to provide. Feel free to offer your assistance, but keep in mind that, at best, I am working on the mod in my free time as I see fit.

Suggestions, offers of assistance, and/or for those uncomfortable with posting on a public forum can now send me an email at josef.interestingrecruits.kenshi@gmail.com

1. (!) Continued updates to the Kenshi forum/Nexusmods version.
2 (...) Localisation
- 2A. (!) Russian: Currently being handled by https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/GY5e3/ Russian translation complete. See mod description for link.
3. (!) Delend expansion
4. (!) Yunomi re-write.

hey just wandering would you be interested by a translation of your mod into french ?
Josef Senpai  [developer] 13 Dec, 2018 @ 1:19am 
Localization in other languages is absolutely welcome! Feel free to translate it if you like.

My suggestion would be if I could write the dialogue for Kazakh, if you don't mind, that is. I'd like to recruit him but also have him with dialogue, and I can try my best to write with the personality you had in mind for him (and I can give you several passes of dialogue if needed to see if you like it.) Please let me know, I added you on Steam. Thanks!

An Idea for a recruit I had was a Wandering Knight and Squire, the Knight would be someone who fully plated himself, as if he's still from the middle-ages, and basically is a madman who's sworn himself to the code of chivalry. He would be powerful in combat and basically be acting like a 'chivalrous' wandering warrior, constantly wanting to 'fix' the United Cities and try to challenge the Paladins of the Holy Nation all the time in duels, and always curious about the Shek Kingdoms

His squire on the other hand, follows him around because he says he gets 'easy profit' from it because the knight in his eyes is a hulking brute who destroys everything because of his sword, armor, and his skills, not even to mention his size and stature to go with his hulking strength. He's constantly joking around with the knight, and being snarky, usually getting smacked upside the head by his master for it.

(In essence, the Knight can join your party for a large sum of gold, and if possible him and his squire join because you hire him, the knight is extremely powerful but only really good as a warrior, the squire is mainly a sneak-thief and a smith because of having to take care of his Lords' armor.)

Certainly fits a trope, but don't all characters? I'll see if I can add in something to that effect. I'm already toying with related characters with another set I added, I can probably utilize what I learn from that in constructing this.

Worth mentioning the new update added the ability to spawn with robotic limbs. Could be pretty neat to work with!
Josef Senpai  [developer] 18 Apr, 2019 @ 12:16pm 
Certainly, thanks for the reminder! I didn't think of that, actually...

I had a strange idea for a recruit. How about a girl with a "valley girl" personality? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_girl I genuinely think that would be funny in the kenshi world. She could be the surviving Greenlander daughter of the Lord of Bast that was recently killed by the Holy Nation. Just some spoiled idiot lord's daughter who doesn't know what she is doing since her last samurai abandoned her. She could be hiding out somewhere like World's End since she can't go back to the Empire because being poor there is illegal and results in enslavement. She can't go to the Holy Nation because they murdered her family and would kill her too.

That does actually sounds kinda hilarious. Sounds like a great idea after I finish the rest of the crap on my plate XD
OP 26 Dec, 2019 @ 11:23am 
Update the mod on nexusmods since there are a lot of bugs still such as not being able to recruit Eldritch after paying the 15k cats.
Josef Senpai  [developer] 26 Dec, 2019 @ 4:18pm 
Yeah, that's been on the to-do list for a bit. My bad XD

Had some other ideas if you were looking for them. How about Hamut's wife or Crumblejon's wife? They both talk about their wives a lot in vanilla game dialogue.
Josef Senpai  [developer] 10 Mar, 2020 @ 11:53pm 
For lore purposes I'm afraid that I definitely can't do Hamut's Wife Spoiler: If you ask who they took, you have an option to ask Hamut if she's dead, to which he replies in the affirmative. So she d3d. As for Crumblejon's I'm not sure if I'm willing to encroach that far unto Chris' lore, but I'll think about it :D

I've always had much fun with the sliders of character customization and thought that maybe we can somehow find a way to insert characters that have freakish proportions.

The best way that I could think of would be through the Hivers (Southern or Western). Both Hives are known to exile flawed members of their caste, so I believe that it is within reason to introduce a new generic character known as "Hive Reject" or "Hive Freak." They're very much similar to the vanilla lost drones, but with a couple exemptions; these freaks would have their proportions set to ridiculous and are incapable of coherent speech.

Perhaps, you'll find them dotting the wilderness in packs of mutants screaming nonsense or in slave markets being sold as exotic slaves.

I'll have to figure out if there's a way to mess with character generation; I'll look into it.
