In the next Wartales update, prisoners will no longer be just a temporary source of crowns or a burden on the squad. Community Update 7 will be released on September 7th and will significantly expand the possibilities for using them.
After joining the unit, former prisoners retain unique skills related to their past and previous lives. They will have a separate development tree, allowing them to unlock special abilities and turn prisoners into full-fledged mercenaries. At the same time, the developers will redesign their detention system: prisoners’ needs will become clearer, and players will be able to better track which actions affect their satisfaction and desire to stay on the team.
These changes also affect the buds. Escaped prisoners will still be able to appear in the world, but encounters with them will become more diverse. Some may come back for revenge, some may find themselves in jail again, and some may reconsider their decisions after a period of time and ask to return to the team. It seems that life in the Votales mercenary camp is gradually becoming less terrible, even for those already familiar with the local prison.
Let me know what you think of these changes in the comments.
