Able to recruit king in adventure mode
« on: September 13, 2006, 10:03:00 am »

My adventurer is not especially impressive - legendary ambusher, great wrestler, proficient hammerman, shows as "elite" when looked at - and yet he was able to recruit the king of a human civilization (whose name is on the coinage) to join his party. I cannot get the king to return to his keep to continue giving quests.

Surely a bug, but I'm curious: Doesn't he  follow you around, so can't you get him back to the keep, at least temporarily, that way?

Can you not still talK to him and get him to give out quests?

Can one retire and then restart one's character to dismiss hirelings?

Oh neat he will give me quests if I drag him back to his keep. Now my goal is to recruit every king and collect the matching coins.

Actually this shouldn't entirely be a bug.  It SHOULD be possible, for the really great awesome dangerous quests, to recruit the really ultimate mighty champions of the land.  Think about it, a party made up entirely of kings - them's heroes indeed, and they must be going after really big game.  That could be really cool.  Just need to ramp up the challenge to fit.  

And allow them to leave when done.

This was intended, though there isn't any particular fanfare so it's not obvious.  Letting people leave your party is on to-do and the need is particularly noticeable here.
