A "Rescue" or Prison Break Start would be cool. Haven't seen any vanilla or modded starts that add a group start as enslaved. This start would be 3 people enslaved in Rebirth or some other difficult to break out of slave camp, with a fourth person free hidden nearby. The fourth person would need to sneak into and free the 3 enslaved members.

This is a story i was thinking ....A Shek start like Seto or other inportan Character , after the Holy Nation destroy all Sheks posible ....... and now Seto is trying to find others Sheks and trying to rebuild what they lost but first Seto need to find the others before others Factions and The Holy Nation find her because for be Seto the Princes is very VALUABLE

kind of a wierd one but have you thought of a iseki sort of start like a student who was into kendo or some sort of archery club type of thing just to add another roleplay aspect?

Clueless Rich Son starts with a 20,000 bounty that seems stupid he is just a rich son what rules has he had to break to survive...none. Also any bounty above 10k wont go away over time so maybe if you have to have him start with a bounty thats makes no sense you should make in 9,000.

8. Start off as a Shek guard, tired of watching over admag, you realized that you should've been sent to " The Last Stand" to fight and ring some personal entertainment to yourself before you die. Either do something about it or keep guard in the town.

9. As one of the mercenary squads sent out to fight blood spiders in the swamps, You realized that it was a bad contract and now your squad is screwed and you can either run or die trying.
(begin under attack from a A CRAPLOAD OF BLOOD SPIDERS in the SWAMPS)

10. You begin alone, No one taught you how to read or write or even speak, The first words comming out of your mouth is..." BLLLARRRRGGGHHHHHHHH" you suddenly realize that you are a SHRIEKING BANDIT! Start in the shrieking forest.

7. This one i have NEVER sen other modders do before, Begind in bast where you are a soldier and must use the eqiupment you have and survive your conscription because hey only YOU can save yourself from a stupid death.

7a. Start as a holy chosen on the left side of bast with nearby armies of holy nation marching to the right side of bast to meet and fight to the death the UC scum.

7b. Start as a samurai conscript given the same weapons as other conscripts and near the armies of UC in the right side of bast also forced to face your supposed doom fighting the holy nation to death.

5. This start begins as you a ex - noble that was kidnapped because as almost every player in kenshi knows, UC nobles are jerks. You pissed off another noble and they had their men kidnapped you and thrown you in the middle of the desert, near the battlefield. You now must take your trusty weapon ( edge type 1 - 3) and restart your life. PLease be kind to people this time else you would be kidnapped again.

6. You begin as a soldier for slave traders seeing people as nothing but property. Yet, one day, another slaver was eyeing this beautiful slave who would make a good sex slave and wanted YOU out of the picture because they saw you as competition. AS a ex slaver, You wake up near the outlaw farmers land north of the great desert and now must find out who screwed you over for the supposed "competition"

3. Start off as a ex-slave living in howlers maze where you still reminisint about the past where you were enslaved and probably sexually abused or abused in general which lead to a toughness level that is higher than normal and a paranoid personality which also increases some stats. This slave is alone and can ask others to join you to find a new start and start building some shack and farm to make food and live a poor but slightly better life than in howlers maze.

4. This start is where you begin RUNNING LIKE CRAZY from guess who? CRAB NINJAS where you are bottom of the great desert and you must outrun them and reach the farming village for help before they cut you to bits.

here are starts that other modders havent done yet, Since you were asking, ill give em to you as ideas. Do what you will.

1. Start as a member of the United heroes league at their base. (check map for base)

2. Start as a Ex-samurai where you were too soft and let off too many enemies go free as mercy where your sergeant saw what you did and banished you rather than kill you outright for your kindness. Good news is that you befriended a few samurai conscripts (3 - 6) that they too joined you as they felt that you were the only samurai who was nice and others were pieces of ****.

Brilliant to hear! Thumbs up and Favourite the mod if you'd like.
Duke 21 Aug, 2018 @ 3:18pm 
Played for about 40min, it's great
Robbo  [author] 21 Aug, 2018 @ 2:34pm 
Feel free to give me any feedback :) Fast because i'm already in the middle of it all!
Duke 21 Aug, 2018 @ 2:30pm 
Thanks mate it was really fast lol, I'll start a new game with it :steammocking:
Robbo  [author] 21 Aug, 2018 @ 2:28pm 
@HackerMan I've added in the start you requested, pretty much spot on. Thanks for the suggestion.

The squad is customisable to any race you want and the trader has some trading goods instead of armour to sell, but it's exactly as you asked other than that.
Duke 21 Aug, 2018 @ 1:50pm 
Would like a trade caravan start with 5 people, 3 fighters, 1 medic, and 1 trader (with a traders backpack, he has 40 in armor/weapon crafting and he carries 2-3 pieces of normal grade armor to sell in the near city) - the squad is mixed race (sheks, skeletons, humans and hive) and start in the great desert :steamhappy:
Robbo  [author] 21 Aug, 2018 @ 1:10pm 
I'm going to try and add more starts as I think of different ways I want to play the game, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
