Work as Mercenary

Description
Seeing a lot of great mods to start as mercenaries, but the game lacks the ability to sign on with a faction and be their paid dog of war.

This mod lets you work as a Mercenary for several factions. The mechanics should seem familiar to those who have played Mount & Blade.

You go find a mercenary recruiter, and they pay you to be hostile to their enemies. Basically you're getting paid to tank your relations. Show up periodically for more money and worse relations.

...unlike Mount & Blade, with the more profitable Shek Mercenary Liason your relations don't get fixed when you stop being a mercenary. That is why you get so much money. For a more conventional experience that sets ally and enemy for a week, then fixes it, take the cheap deal with the Waystation Mercenary Liason.

So Far: Shek Mercenary Liason in Squin. You'll know why once you talk to them. Kinda a permanent thing
Mercenary Liason in each Waystation: Can ally with Flotsam Ninjas, Anti-Slavers, or Trader's Guild versus their enemies for one week, then each week you can either take a paycheck or cancel the contract and restore your relations. Each time you take the money, you lose -5 relations with the faction, so make sure you're doing things to help them out! Several generic leader types in the opposing factions have been given bounties to help you out with that.

The following individuals can have bounties that the Anti-Slavers will pay out: Slave Market Master, Slave Master Grande, Slave Master Haga, Slave Master Ruben, Slave Master Wada, Slave Mistress Grace, Slave Mistress Ren, Slaver Boss, and Slaver Caravan Boss.

I have the same problem as ghosty and I figured out what the problem was. The reactive world mod creates an npc called world state in the bar. I think this was the problem. After uninstalling the reactive mod, I was able to find the mercernary liason.

Crime pays in Kenshi, in that you can have your character commit crimes, then turn them in for the bounty, and collect those sweet sweet cats.
Although with my mod, you probably had enough money to pay off the debt.
I've been having fun testing the bounty system with a modified Freedom Seekers start (I started in the Holy Nation territory instead of walking there). Guards actually aren't quick to apprehend characters with a bounty on their head. When I get some more cats, I'll experiment with the pay bounty function.

I actually just had him turn himself in so he didn't get hunted down 24/7 lol.

@Ghosty, nice video. Ha ha, Ganja forgot he was holding. Fighting the Shek briefly is good combat experience (if you don't lose an arm), anyways.
The Shek don't mind a drug dealer in their mist? I thought that bounty was at the Notorious level.

Well, its not so much incompatibility as it is running out of sitting space in the Bar. The Liason should still appear, they just might be wandering outside or something. I test the mod by playing one of the starts where the player starts at a Waystation.

I do have a couple different mods that might be causing some sort of incompatibility, but I'll mess around with the load order and see what I can do.
