500 / 505 Question

General
#1

Qualifications: to this point, nobody on the team has been able to reply with any idea on this point, many have no experience with Either order, much less the crucial one…

Would it be easier to Bribe a character of an eliminated ally if that character is a Double Agent for your nation? Or, no effect?

By the rules and experience, the Bribe order is simply a factor of Emissary rank and Highest Skill of target character. But, now that the question has been posed, I find it has potential, as the game often proves itself to be multilayered and quite subtle, mostly following along the lines of “common sense”.

And along similar lines, any ideas on whether the price goes down as time goes on? Been advised the characters will simply hang out for 10 or so turns…like other “free agents” do their demands go down as the apparent market for their services dries up?

Thanks,

Brad

Dunno, but

any ideas on whether the price goes down as time goes on?

From a very small sampling size (1 repeat attempt), it looks like either:
it doesn’t go down much (tried immediately after with a bribe a bit shy of the recommended 20-(emmy-target) and then again, same amount, eight turns later)
or it has a random factor and I was unlucky.

Anyone Recruited past 10 or 11 turns?

10 turns seems to be the limit. At some point the message will be something like, “the target character is not longer recruitable” or something like that. I tried to recruit once at 10 turns and that’s the message I got.
