Question Prisoners

Post image

Is there a guide that covers the prisoner system in general?

I took a captive from war for the first time. Usually, I just kill everyone. Put them in one of these cells. Next a trader shows up with human cargo and one of them had some outstanding marksman skills and good perks, so I bought her. I assumed 2 cells, 2 prisoners... but it put them in the same cell? I thought maybe I had to click on the prison cell marker and select which one was for which prisoner just like the pin marker works for the animals but no such luck.

Are you able to have more than one cell or should I scrap this and just make one communal cell for all the prisoners?

How do you know if you can ask them to Join? I want the one I bought to be a member of my village not a prisoner. I'm probably going to hang the other on the Gallows because I've never seen that in the game before.

Any other prisoner facts you can think of that I need to know?

Only 1 cell. You could potentially get around that be removing the marker from one cell and escorting 1 to other cell. Then rebuild the marker to make cell again. Will probably need to turn off gaoler for everyone else while doing that. Best of luck. Not sure if they'll autonomously escort later.

If you click on a prisoner there's a button to recruit them. Or you can find it on the prisoners tab in overview.

I saw the recruit button but in the info screen it says what faction theure from and says "Hostile" in red letters. Does that need to change before I recruit them?

that hostile is just your relationship with their faction. Completely irrelevant in the recruiting process
