Quick notes

  • Recruits have skills you can inspect. Before accepting a paid companion, compare their skills and equipment with the current group.
  • Party space is a real resource. Eight positions include the starting hero, other adventurers and packmules.
  • Recruitment costs compete with equipment. Some companions require gold.
  • The group survives beyond one portrait. The starting farmer is not the only character that matters in battle.

Useful tip

The starting farmer is not the only character that matters in battle. Learn to select and protect the entire group; surviving humanoid companions are essential when another member is unconscious.
