I couldn’t seem to get the mercenaries to actually join in 4.4.0> Was this just me? Am I missing something weird? Is this known?
I know I tried on at least a Mines and a Temple playthrough. Had the supernatural ally and the wolves too on both. Gutter’s Cove was pre-conquered once Chapter IV got started as normal but Rhyll and the boys never showed up at the lair
I THINK I did treasure in one and “glory” in the other. There is a caveat that, this being familiar ground being retread, there’s a lot of holding Ctrl through ye olde bits, but I also don’t think the game tells you the difference in those options, instead implying that money is what will make these guys most interested.
I’ll try and recheck this but if it turns out I’m misremembering my steps here and never went through with “glory” and the treasure option never gets them to join, I think this bit could do with a little more conveyance (and if some explanation/indication to this IS already there and I ended up skipping over it, then joke’s on me twice, lol)
Just coming back for an update. Did another test run last night and ended up getting Rhyll and The Boys to show up so it could very well be that I did treasure twice before.
I was running Power Fantasy, Spire, made sure to offer them Glory and even had previously done the party raid with Cooch and Mina, picking the friendly resolution there.
When they joined (which they did faster than I remembered, even. Was under the impression that they would always wait until Maelys was almost there but it wasn’t the case) they seemed to have 0 morale as I couldn’t select them for raids and whatnot despite being in Power Fantasy mode. This to me would make sense as a consequence of having stolen a fair amount of cash of them before (what is that? 1 vs 2 units of Treasure?) but at the time my first thought is some flags could’ve got messed up, which wasn’t the case. Also refrained from giving Mina the dress precisely because I was afraid of the game getting confused. Things seemed to settle as usual once I gave them some 2 units of treasure from my infinitely deep pockets
