Tomb Kings Ancillaries (Followers) - Ways to Get Them All!
By sergiomorozov
This short guide tells how to get every generic follower available to the Tomb Kings faction.

There is a better guide though: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2254660399

Is there a guide about all factions?
Yes, there is: https://steamproxy-script.pipiskins.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2254660399

I am leaving this one on for those who do not want to shuffle through Cpecific's guide.
Where does the information come from?
From data.pack -> scripts -> export_ancillaries__.lua
General requirements for getting a follower
To get the follower a Tomb King culture character must not have that type of follower equipped (for other cultures it may be possible to get some already equipped followers) AND must complete the action listed in the third section of this guide.

Then, there will be a chance the character gets the follower in question.

There are other ways:
  • stealing the follower from a defeated enemy
  • getting the follower from searching ruins

Some followers can only be earned by a lord, or only by an agent, but they can be used by anyone after that (Other races may have restrictions on follower usage by lords/agents/agent types.)

Banners and marks can be obtained if already equipped, but they are not "followers" in the sense of this guide.

Two TK-specific Banners (the Regeneration and the Stalk) can be equipped by Agents, but provide no benefit to them.

As of 1.8.3 version of the game, Ushabti Bodyguard is still bugged and can not be obtained by primary way (leveling up with Ushabti in Army).

Alrighty, thanks for clearing that up. May your bandages never chafe or come undone.

Yes, it is the left one, which gives more money.

You do not get a TK follower if one the same kind is already "equipped" by the character.

It takes long to build up a supply of Tombfleet Taskmasters, yes.

So what counts as (Ransom) when you're TK? Left, middle or right option? They all revolve around death, souls and binding so it's pretty unclear. I'm guessing it could be the left one since that involves getting some money but I do that a lot so feels like I should've gotten more than 1 by now even though it's only 5% chance. Any clarifications or words of certainty would be appreciated. Also thanks for making the list.

Could you add the effect that they have to your guide?
sergiomorozov  [author] 26 Mar, 2019 @ 8:07pm 
No, can not, because:

"Some other faction's followers seem to require certain buildings to be in the province, but I was unable to determine which buildings exactly, hence the guide is limited to TK."

Can you make the same list for all other factions? ;)
