Jump to navigation Jump to search

Undesirables Recruitment law dictates the conscription of so called "Undesirables" into the army. This includes conscripting various criminals, inticing raider gangs to join your cause and even enslaving the locals to force them into the army. With increasing ammount of such individuals, the high comands job of keeping the division organised increases greatly, but in some situations it is worth it, in exchange for the increase of meatshields on the front. Generally the nation's stability also takes a hit, while the warsupport increases.


Generic Undesirables Recruitment

No Undesirables icon
No Undesirables
  • Division Organization: +2.0%
  • Recruitable Population Factor: -2%
"If we are to maintain cohesion and order within the ranks of our military, we must ensure a certain level of morality and trustworthiness among our men. Abiding with the laws of our nation, we will ensure that we do not allow the presence of any criminal element within our military."
Requirements


Petty Criminals Conscripts icon
Petty Criminals Conscripts
  • Division Organization: -1.0%
  • Recruitable Population Factor: +1%
Though law and order are vital elements of a successful military, over-zealously denying fit and able men service because of small offences is arbitrary and counter-intuitive. There are perfectly valid reasons why a man might steal food or become insubordinate, and they should not preclude him from service.
Requirements


Homicidal Conscripts icon
Homicidal Conscripts
  • Division Organization: -2.0%
  • Recruitable Population Factor: +2%
  • Stability: -2.00%
  • War Support: +2.00%
At its core, an army is a relatively organized collection of men armed and willing to kill. With the collection of these sorts of people being our primary objective, why would we deny serial killers and the like? Though they may bring a sort of instability to our army and our reign in general, they lend themselves well to the task of taking up arms, hopefully against our opponents.
Requirements


Raider Conscripts icon
Raider Conscripts
  • Division Organization: -4.0%
  • Recruitable Population Factor: +4%
  • Stability: -4.00%
  • War Support: +4.00%
Both within our borders and beyond, there exist groups of individuals who commit themselves to the task of accumulating wealth and power through murder, extortion, drug dealing and other such unlawful deeds. Though their open disdain for law and authority will leave its mark upon our nation as a whole, it is only logical we make use of their skills.
Requirements


Slave Conscripts icon
Slave Conscripts
  • Division Organization: -5.0%
  • Recruitable Population Factor: +5%
  • Stability: -5.00%
  • War Support: +5.00%
While sure to cause dissent among the slaveholding population, dangling the prospect of freedom and glory to any slaves willing to fight for the cause will help bolster our ranks. We must be careful not to equip them with anything too dangerous, though...Reduces slave capture multiplier by 2.
Requirements
