Tribals & Recruitment

[Wikrin]

First off, I apologize if this has been suggested before; I went back a few pages and didn't see it, so I went ahead and made the topic.

I think that tribals should be included in the random character generator. At first I thought "well, but they wouldn't be in space," but then I remembered that a lot of the people you can buy from slave traders are from tribes. I really like them and think they have a lot of cool stories, but it's so difficult to get them to join you.

On a related note, my second point: Their difficulty is supposed to represent the language and cultural barriers, correct? If that's the case, I think it'd be cool if having a tribal warden (or even just tribal colonists) would lower their difficulty. I think it would make sense and could be useful.

I would suggest a travelling tribe of mercenaries which will come and talk to you if they are passing by: 1.talk about buying a colonist
2.Talk about trade
3.Talk about hiring them to attack another tribe

....or if they are send to attack you:
1.Talk about surrender and conditions (mostly they will take your supplies)
2.Talk about paying them more to attack the tribe which send them!
