Recruitment

New units are hired from a pool of candidates that refreshes every 480 in-game minutes (you can also inspect candidates to reveal hidden talents before committing). The number and level of candidates scale with clan rank.

A candidate's price is built from two parts. First a level component that climbs from about 120 gold at level 1 to roughly 4,200 at level 12 (with a small random swing). Then a handling surcharge for each inscription the candidate already carries, priced by rarity:

  • Common inscription: +200 gold
  • Uncommon inscription: +400 gold
  • Rare inscription: +800 gold
  • Legendary inscription: +2,000 gold

The inscriptions a candidate is born with use the same rarity weights as level-up rolls (807 / 170 / 20 / 3 per 1000). Candidates also come with a talent spread whose tiers sum to roughly 2-5 across the six stats, so inspecting for good talents is worthwhile before you pay.

Which race appears depends on clan rank: Humans are always most common (weight 100), Lizardmen are common (about 35), and Elves only appear from rank 2 (weight 25, roughly 16% of candidates). Dwarves, White Demons and Tal have weight 0 at every rank and cannot be recruited in the current build.
