Will they accept?

The files give no acceptance reasons: the other character answers it themselves (a player, or an event).

What happens

If they accept

  • Depending on yes:
    • When yes is scope:prestige:
    • When yes is scope:piety:
    • When yes is scope:skill:
      • duel = { … }
    • When yes is scope:dread:
      • 1 of 2 things will happen:
      • add_dread = { value = reinforce_soldiers_dread_cost_value multiply = -1 }

Options when sending

  • Inspire FollowersWhen all else fails, personal charisma and skill can attract plenty of loyal fighters.
  • Seek VolunteersTribal warriors are a useful source of fighters, if they can be won over.
  • Recruit ZealotsReligious communities harbor many adventurous souls, eager to fight for their faith.
  • Impress MercenariesHardened, professional warriors are the best recruits, but will not serve an unknown.
