Slavers and Slave Markets
Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2014 10:08 pm
Just a random idea I had.
A lot of apocalyptic fiction deals with slavery, and I think it would fit into Kenshi pretty well.
Roaming bands of bandit-like slavers would wander the area in a similar manner to cannibals, and they would knock out/imprison them in a similar manner, but instead of eventually eating them there would be slave markets where they would be sold off to people, including yourself.
I think it would create an interesting dynamic where one of your people might be captured while trying to flee, but you would be able to buy them back if you had enough money. Alternatively, you could waltz into their camp and slaughter the bunch.
A slave market as a building would be cool as well. Knocked out captives could be locked in cages and people could come and buy them in a similar manner to buying bread and such from a trader outpost.
