If you make it to where it costs money to make girls slaves, I would vote that slave girls no longer earn half as much as free girls. Simply put, as it is, you would have to enslave several girls to make a net profit if you had to pay to be able to enslave them and, even then, the ammount of money you would get from free girls would be vastly superior.
Well, first off, you're going to be able to turn this off. Second, you won't have to pay to enslave girls as long as your licence is up to date. I do agree that there's no reason why a well trained and well disciplined slave shouldn't make as much or more as a free whore. That's something else I want to look at.
Personally, I like to run my brothels as slave kennels, so don't worry: I'm not about to break slavery.
Also, if you have to purchase a permit, all catacombs girls should come pre-enslaved because it's not as if they were citizens or anyone knew about them before they showed up in your brothel.
Mmmmm ... not convinced about that one. You want the benefits of slavery, you need the licence.
That's why I want there to be a tangible benefit to having slaves over free girls before there are any costs associated with enslaving girls.
Agreed. Slave girls have been a bit nerfed of late. Really they should both have their benefits and drawbacks.
I think the girls should have equal incomes, all other things being equal - why would a customer care whether the girl he's banging is free or a slave?
Well, I can see that a free girl might show more enthusiasm for the job than a poorly trained slave. But a well trained one should be as good as the best of free women. And really most of that can be handled with rebelliousness scores. So yeah, I tend to agree.
Slaves should be less demanding (they'll have no legal recourse if they are treated poorly, so they are more likely to accept whatever working and living conditions the player imposes) and refuse to work less often than free girls with the same rebelliousness (perhaps never refuse to work if the "enchantment" on the "enchanted" slave tattoo has some mind-controlling aspects).
Yeah, I think slaves should be more obedient too. Like I say, I'm a slavemaster by inclination.
I'm thinking since there's going to be "jobs" only non-slaves can do. It makes sense that there should be jobs only slaves can do. Thus giving you yet another reason to make some of your girls slaves and some not.
Hmmm... I had a couple of ideas along those lines, but they were a bit dark. I can imagine though that you'd get quite a lot of free girls refusing tentacle monster duty though.
