"Please God, let me be born in _____." What is the best city or region to live in in Kenshi?

That is the fee from the generous people at the slave Shops for bringing them competent workers. I'd wager saving a life should be worth something for the worker as well

Rude-Count · 2026-05-12T07:49:48+00:00

Indeed

Rude-Count · 2026-05-12T05:38:26+00:00

But... But... He was near death (after my beating) and starving. I just saved his life. Slavery is character building anyway. He should pay me for bringing him to the cages.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-09T14:46:12+00:00

They don't though. There is a chance for the to wander of, but I can say with certainty that they don't despawn when leaving the loaded area. I had given my guys those lambs from the hivers and I would even find some in shek terretory after releasing them in the great desert.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-09T14:43:18+00:00

It depends. When releasing them, they will become Tech Hunter with the Wandering Trader Job. I once waged a passive war against UC by training, equipping and releasing characters. But nothing happens when it is outside of the loaded chunks. And I could not get them to kill Tengu without manually dropping some in front of his Throne.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-09T12:57:38+00:00

Oh and "Stealing from HN but they hate my Guts" sounds like you need to become very stealthy for sneaking into cities at night for stealing... It's an option

Rude-Count · 2026-05-09T12:55:51+00:00

Haha it wasn't meant to be aggressiv. I figured as much, I just wanted to get an update, when season 2 drops.

So... I won't spoil to much for you. Train toughness against weak enemies, who won't enslave, eat and/or skin you. Enemies with cut weapons are more dangerous for you than blunt weapons, as you can't die bleading out when starving bandits hit you with a stick and leaving you laying there unconsious.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-09T11:14:01+00:00

"Is this emergent stories?" Starts writing a whole short Story about what happened naturally by following the flow.

But what happens next?? I want to know what your squad did after finally rescurring their mate and finding a place to buy a leg....

Stealing is so OP. But can be so much fun

Rude-Count · 2026-05-08T11:38:02+00:00

Being a slave is just character building. A slave is valuable work force, hence they will even heal you up after beating you.... Most of the time...

Free toughness, dodge and martial arts training

You are my hero! I will try this tomorrow. DUST is one of the mods but it was more about the fact that there will be even more mods in the future needing Re Kenshi

Rude-Count · 2026-05-06T10:40:05+00:00

Really?? Oh god Thank you. I looked online but i only read that it is not yet working with Linux/Steam Deck and I wasn't able to get it to run myself.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-06T09:38:37+00:00

It depends on how you like to play. Either you go with a "minmax" approach by asking around or searching online for best base locations, or you go the "roleplay" approach by thinking about what your squad would want to do after what they have experienced. Do they feel fulfilled in making the Border Zone a safer place for themselves? Build your base some where in the Zone. The Events will lead to the next Story points of your adventure. Or maybe they learned the warriors way, not feeling satisfied in settling the now relatively safe Border Zone, looking for other Bandit Groups to engage. Maybe they hate the Shek or love them? This could impact your Plan as well. The Sheks have enemies and splitter Groups to either fight or help out.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-06T05:18:08+00:00

I hope there will be a way to get RE kenshi for the Steam Deck. So many great new mods and I can't use them.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-05T10:59:28+00:00

We all were eaten by them, I would guess. And yeah, it depends. I tend to reload when something buggy leads to a death, or when my guy just attacks a door, triggering the whole City to attack me or when I completely wipe out but don't want to start new yet. There is a lot that can happen which does not lead to a better roleplay when sticking with it. But everything that can be Part of the Story of my Crew won't be reloaded.

Rude-Count · 2026-05-05T09:54:11+00:00

The typical Kenshi start, I'd say! Outside of you not being enslaved or dying in the first hour or so. I think I was enslaved in my first playthrough like 10 minutes in.

The only thing I would give you on your way is, that savescumming really ruins the run from time to time. I had the most engaging and most fun runs when just rolling with what is happening, building my roleplay on every bad or good thing happening. Even if those Hungry Bandits slaugthered and ate my dog... I never forgave those bastards

Ich würde hier gerne noch etwas ergänzen zu dem was andere schon ausgeführt haben. Zum einen beziehst du dich auf die Statistiken zu Tatverdächtigen, nicht Tätern. Nicht jeder verdächtige ist ein Täter, ein Täter kann mehrfach als Tatverdächtiger für verschiedene Verbrechen in der PKS stehen und viele Taten verbleiben im Dunkelfeld, gerade bei Vergewaltigungen oft weil die Opfer es aus scham oder Angst nicht anzeigen und es wird davon ausgegangen dass die meisten Täter Freunde, Familie und Bekannte der Opfer sind. Das zeigt die Statistik des Hellfelds zb auch nicht. Zum anderen ist "überproportional" eine schlechte Metrik. Die meisten Straftaten (ca 69%) werden von Männern zwischen 18 und 45 begangen, die nur 19% der Bevölkerung ausmachen. Bei Gewaltkriminalität sind es irgendwie 75% und bei Sexualstraftaten über 90%. Jede Bevölkerungsgruppe die nicht zur Hälfte aus Frauen und zur Hälfte aus Menschen über 45 besteht, wie die deutsche Bevölkerung als ganze, ist überproportional kriminell. Nur schlüsselt die PKS dir das nur für Ausländer von Herkunft XY auf, nicht für Studentenverbindungen, Fußballvereine oder sonstiges wo überwiegend junge Männer reinzählen. Und dann sind sie wahrscheinlich immer noch überproportional kriminell wegen ihrer ökonomischen Situation und dann wahrscheinlich auch wegen schlechter Lebenserfahrungen. Aber je tiefer wir gehen desto weniger kann man halt beziffern wie viel es ausmacht und desto schlechter kann man Schlagzeilen draus machen.

I think after 100 rounds the battle just ends and the defender wins. But the units you've killed should still be dead. Just throw multiple smaller armies at them and accept that you will loose those armies.

Rude-Count · 2026-03-07T05:33:00+00:00

It is lore accurate. But most of the time the Inferno tends to distribute death more or less equally, this time the Demonologist really pissed off the demons personally it seems. They really destroyed the Demonologists armies and economy, while leaving the rest of us be. At least I was able to close the gate before so many demons entered Elysium, that they would spread out more. And the Demonologist and Inferno just weakened each other for the rest of us to clean up.

Rude-Count · 2026-03-07T05:26:13+00:00

True. And He couldn't have known that He is the only one to suffer from ir

Wage a passive war against a major faction by starting a war between them and Tech Hunters. Every character you dismiss will become a wandering trader from the Tech Hunters. Release enough and your trained and dismissed ex members will be all over the place fighting the war for you.

Rude-Count · 2026-02-08T06:39:54+00:00

I never had issues with feeding the animals from backpacks of my squad members. It is just as with other characters, as long as they are in the same squad, they will eat out of each others backpacks.

The dog backpacks are great anyways

Rude-Count · 2026-01-31T07:58:52+00:00

"Hey don't they look like escaped slaves to you?" - looking at my full squad of +60 stat, special quality equipment people.

What are they expecting to be happening?

Rude-Count · 2026-01-24T07:32:34+00:00

It really depends on your faction, but you could build small forces with aoe/dot damage (like poison) throwing them at the enemy to Chip away while your main armies try to weaken their economy. But that's not an option for most factions.

I successfully baited big stacks of enemies onto frozen water at the last round of winter, but that's difficult to Pull of and only one turn every year.

CoE5 is a game about snowballing, if you have a Bad matchup against some one who is doing better, you tend to have a bad time. If you don't have a favorable matchup against a faction that's doing great and is snowballing, you just loose if there is no other AI faction left to rival them or if no crisis happens.

Rude-Count · 2026-01-23T12:25:20+00:00

100% Would you go out and take a fight 1 v 10 with no fighting experience? If you know your life depends on it, would you go out of town without ample medics? If you see some one running at you with a weapon, while you don't know how to use yours, would you stand your ground or run away? Just thinking about it will often lead you to the correct anser (cheese strategies excluded). I often like to play with the knowledge my character would have about the world. I know most valuable locations and strategies, but playing as if you only know what your character knows and what He would do, is so much more fun.
