I've also wrote a number of times that there should be options like a promise of release after 10 - 15 years of service
Why bother with buying and training slaves, giving them valuable skills, if they will leave eventually, or at best will become free and continue to work for you?
Especially, why would anybody buy skilled ones for huge amounts of money, if they will have to be released soon enough since training itself should take many years from those 10-15.
You might as well hire and teach free ones, since they will be more motivated and will put those skills to better use, and also don't have any slaves restrictions.
or threats of selling them off to some rural areas where they are using treated much worse than in cities or sell off to work in mines till they drop (kinda of a slow death sentence).
It only forces them to follow orders. They are still not motivated like free ones.
"trained"... I think that's a BS concept. Trained to do what?
Trained to follow orders. Speaking of training, why Blue does what she does when you arrive to the slavemarket if there is no training, only promises and threats?
If there is no training involved, then ST module can be added here and now, after deleting Blue event of course. It will include two buttons, one is to promise freedom after randint(10,15) years, another one is threatening to sell them to the Eternal Rome from JoNT, where they will be fkn eaten alive
I got an impression from your explanations back then that slaves in Pytfall are like slaves in the game from
this thread. Yes, they follow any personal orders, but they still have rights and cannot be just killed on spot or raped by anyone.
