[0.96a] Pirate Ransom - Bribe Pirates to avoid combat
« on: July 10, 2023, 05:33:50 PM »
Pirate Ransom
Bribe Pirates to avoid combat.




Were you wondering why Pirates will not accept a bribe to skip combat but the Luddic Path does? Now Pirate fleets will demand a ransom which if paid will sate their bloodlust. Functionally all I've done is copied the Luddic Path tithe rules, renamed them, and added some Pirate flavor text. Should be safe to add to or remove from existing games.

Real heroes don't wear capes.

Great work!

The mod doesn't work with broadwave-summoned pirates from exploring ruins, I ransom-ed them and still had to fight the pirates.

You mean the fleets that get spawned sometimes when investigating derelicts and stuff? I'll try to see what is happening. Maybe those fleets cannot be made non-hostile.

New release 1.0.1 contains updates to the rules.csv that should fix this issue. These summoned fleets get special treatment allowing them to be bribed and stand down.
