Rescued Prisoners

[Slaists]

I just noticed this feature today and I haven't seen it mentioned here before.Groups of rescued prisoners that run around the map would join the players party if asked...

 

[Ilex]

Yeap. That has been there some time.

Has it been fixed so you can recruit just part of the group? I am too lazy to test.

 

[neotemplar]

Nope it's still all or none, can be useful though if your entire party gets wiped out and you need troops bad.

 

[Vachir]

Too bad you can't take captured prisoners and convert them. I often wish I could bribe some of the guys I capture to fight for me, it's just too hard to keep your party full of non-standard units.

 

[Poil]

Kinda like, "join me or die!"?

 

[Imrix]

Actually, I think there would be a way to do that. If you were to slay a group that had captured Bandits/Khergit Raiders/Dark Knights, wouldn't the captured bandits become a group of "Rescued Prisoners"? Then, it would be possible to get them to join your party.

Untested, but technically it should work.

That does work, I have two Dark Knights and several Dark Hunters in my level 35 group that simply kick ass whereever they go.

Got em off a bunch of mountain bandits too, heh.
