Hire Empire

Use the comms console to hire pawns from the Empire faction just like how you can hire Pirates from Vanilla Factions Expanded - Pirates.

Empire: Common Laborer: 30 silver a day. Great with mining, construction, animals, and planting. Mid range skill in all four. Noble: 100 silver a day. Good for researching and other intellectual tasks. Between 8 and 13 Intellectual Skill Cataphract: 150 silver a day. Heavily armed ranged soldier. Between 8-12 Shooting Skill.

If you're running a low-tech run, any mod that uses a low-tech version of the comms console will automatically work with this mod. Such as mods that have bird posts etc.
