honestly a good reason would prob be because they would think their leader is a traitor so its actually not that hard to justify

@Kinkard I'm sure there's a mod out there that allows you to improve relations with those factions, but they don't have leaders in the base game so it's out of the scope of this mod.

I would like to be able to befriend tothe Bounty Hunters and Mercenaries, can this be done?

Nice thanks

fucking BASED

@King Zog Done!

preacher cult

Wow @Wirlocke thank you so much.

@Wandering Sol Just added them, thanks for the suggestion!

Hey, I think Valamon would be perfect for this if he truly believes what he tells all the whelps. No worries tho great mod as is.

@Wirlocke all right man, don't worry! Enjoy the game first before worrying about further modifications

Consho I don't think many of these factions have the dialogue packages required for ally squads joining you, and they definitely wouldn't interact with your having your leader unless there was a vanilla way to accomplish that.

You have an interesting idea though and it's very doable, I think it would go great in a mod that has bigger scope than this. The main issue with these dialogue packages is just how repetitive it is to setup for each faction/squad/character. It's very easy to make errors manually setting up each package for each faction.

I might try my hand at a bigger "leader ally benefits" mod once I give it some time, cause I've been modding the game more than playing it.

I had such thoughts too, but they were of the laughable kind. When the Great Wizard cuts out villages of cannibals, it turns out funny.
But I like the implementation.

I know this question has great chances of not being related to your mod. But, if I ally with a faction using your mod (dust bandits for example), can I call wandering squads to accompany me if I use their leader?

For now I'll rely on your choice of recruitment mod to determine the difficulty of getting any of specific leader & faction.

I highly recommend Recruit Prisoners for Cats, it's based on the original Recruit Prisoners mod but adds a cost to the recruitments. It's been a decent but worthwhile money sink and feels more balanced and earned.

If you wanted to add more variety or chance to whether a former boss's minion would join you, you could make it dependent on the minion's personality. Still love this idea tho!

I'm sure it's a case by case basis on if the faction would realistically follow their leader or not. I mainly copy pasted the dialogue you see here for all of them. Though the thrall masters, Cat Lon, and King Gurgler I gave more appropriate dialogue.

I think its more like betrayal aint it, although this is a cool mod to justify like, bribing faction leaders and stuff

Lmao Buzan still getting his ass beat by his ex-gang because he's just Dima's lover. I like to think that the Black Dragon Ninjas relentless and stupid raids on our bases is because of Buzan's idea trying to please Dima. Dima doesn't really seem like the type of bandit to raid bases since she's a Shek, she probably prefers them to just rob and beat down travelers and Holy Nation patrols when roaming around Skinner's Roam, as opposed to blindly charging in a small shack to raid a single empty bread container with 50 people.

Nice.

Cool

GOAT!

Such a cool idea!
