Legendary hiring Legendaries?
« on: April 20, 2009, 04:54:15 am »

Hypothetically speaking, lets say i retire my adventurers once they become godlike. Lets also say i retire them all to the same town. And at last, lets say i want to band them together in one allmighty party to once and for all destroy the elven race, Would i be able to get a legendary axedwarf to join my legendary hammerdwarf? Is that where the 'extra levels' above legendary come into play, or does the game simply work with what rank you have. Thank you, your replies help to expedite the genocide.

Yes, you can hire your former self, and form a band of legendaries. It is awesome to the extreme. I myself have never done this because I figured that a bunch of peasants serve my needs just as well

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, but you need to be heroic enough to make them want to.

So you could create 10 adv. with no skills and then take one that you give a few skills and recuit the 10 others with him?

If you can be arsed, best method is to wait at the inn as they all congregate there at some point.

Hmmm - multiplayer adventuring parties idea just came to mind.

In the Devs (not for this release mind you) Toady even included that he is trying to do a simple framework for parties to enter legends and effect the world.

Yeah, the nice thing about recruiting retired adventuerers is that normal recruitible NPCs are generally not hostile to goblins/elves/others and won't help you depopulate a civ they are not enemies with.

But with your own adventuerers, you can establish hostilities with a civ and still be enemies with that civ when you recruit them.
