Way of a Bandit #
In the world of thieves, Old Rat is in charge. Here are the instructions he gives to his charges: “I am the Old Rat. Welcome to the slippery criminal path! Remember: the cheapest thing in the world is the opinion of others about you.”
Do you like the sound of coins and adrenaline? You are in good hands, here you will always get help with tips for robbing a wealthy house.
On your thief’s path you will upgrade your thief’s characteristics. Clones with criminal authority also train more effectively in megalithic structures such as the Baths and the Great Warrior Complex.
Table. The influence of criminal authority on the development of clone characteristics when visiting megalithic structures
| The authority size | Accrual of military initiative in Thermaes | Accrual of military skills in the great warrior complex |
|---|---|---|
| 200 - 499 | 4 | 100 |
| 500 - 1,499 | 6 | 150 |
| 1,500 - 2,999 | 8 | 200 |
| 3,000 - 6,999 | 10 | 250 |
| 7,000 - 11,999 | 12 | 300 |
| 12,000 - 19,999 | 14 | 350 |
| 20,000 - 29,999 | 16 | 400 |
| 30,000 - 49,999 | 18 | 450 |
| 50,000 - 69,999 | 20 | 500 |
| 70,000 and above | 22 | 550 |
If you put together your own gang, you will get tip-offs on estates, villages, cities and megacities. To join a gang or a bandit army, have at least 500 criminal authority points. Princes, mayors, military men, security guards - the road to the criminal world is closed to you.
Also, clones who work in gold mines in settlements cannot engage in robbery.
You can take cold weapons and/or firearms with you. You can buy any weapon at the gun shop, at the imported weapons auction, or at the arms exchange. If you don’t even have a cold weapon, you will hit with your fists, causing 5 to 10 damage to the enemy for an accurate strike. Units of “military skills” are not awarded for such strikes. In raids on real estate and settlements, only cold weapons and firearms are used. All of these types are used in attacks by bandit troops. In addition, different types of cartridges and shells are needed.
Table. Weapons of the criminal world
| Weapon type | Minimum status | Use in real estate raids | Use in raids on settlements | Use in the bandit army |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold | Craftsman | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Firearms | Craftsman | Yes, salt cartridges are required | Yes, salt cartridges are required | Yes, live ammunition is required |
| Artillery | Peasant | No | No | Yes, cannonballs are required |
| Battle fleet | Bourgeois | No | No | Yes, cannonballs are required |
You can have an unlimited number of weapons in your inventory or storage, but you can only equip one type of firearm and cold weapon at a time. In this case, an artillery piece or a warship is considered equivalent to a firearm. Firearms (if there are cartridges and shells) have priority over cold weapons - they will be used first.
