This is a Recruit Prisoners mod (Replaces the original), based off Nanogiraffe/laVal's mod, where you can capture npcs and then talk to them, and pay to recruit them.
This is a stand-alone re-work of the original.
With the original mod it was too easy to acquire really strong npcs early on and it felt like cheating (and took the challenge and difficulty away), so I added costs to recruit them.
A single Ninja or high level can really change your game, so it shouldn't be easy to recruit them. Plus, you need something to spend all those Cats on and a reason to keep making cats ;)
I have created a lot more recruit dialogues, edited many previous dialogues, and added dialogues to a lot more npc's.
Lots of other fixes/edits too, like removing the limited or low chance for speech (on most).
I put some ( *** ) to help with right choices on some long dialogues.
I Removed quite a bit of extraneous dialogue that many people found to be too much, but not all. - the ( *** ) will help.
and added dependencies that were missing, and lots other fixes like not being able to recruit.
The cost for some npcs can vary depending on your previous actions, like being an ally or enemy of a faction, or having killed someone important, or them being stronger or weaker than you.
(Keep in mind, by the time you recruit them their stats are higher)
ShekWarrior /HiveSoldier /Samurai /guards /etc with ~40-50 (base stats) = ~30-40k CATS
Ninja guards/ paladins/ anyone with ~50 (base stats) = ~40-50k cats ....(weaker ninjas are less- 20-40k)
HundredG and others with ~55-65 (base stats) = 50-60k cats
Mercs / Skeletons (and others ~30-50stats) = 30-50k cats
Others with stats ~20-30 = 10-25k cats
Dust Bandits n others >5-15 stats = 6k / Leader 25stats = 12k cats
Hungry bandits /slaves ~5 stats = I made them to either take cactus Rum or 1k cats.
(added back in) Inquisitors and some others >70-80 stats = 80k
UNIQUES: for RP
High Inquis Seta/Valtena, Esata, Phoenix, Elder, Eyegore, Mad Cat-Lon, TinFist and Bugmaster ~100-150k.
Dust King and King Gurgler -50k. Crab Queen -75k.
I also improved the base stats of many normal hires to ~5-15 from measly lvl 1 to be more worth their asking price.
I also added minor Stealth stats to ninjas and scout types that had none.
Also, if you're wondering why a recruit cost seems a bit high (or low), it's either because of the stats you can't see, i.e. 'Combat' stats and 'Stealth' stats, etc. Stealth stats are pretty OP. Or they got bad (or good) rolls on their stats.. There's a randomize factor to all stats, sometimes up to 20+ difference.

I believe it's necessary to get the stat changes I made, but not vital to use the mod
