 +
'''Native companions''' can be recruited by request to the Ruler of a [[Village]], which usually requires 3 [[Standing]]. They can also join through various random events, and can be hired from wandering [[Exposition Recruiter]]s by succeeding a [[speaking challenge]]. Some [[village quests]] involve escorting a native who joins your party temporarily without taking up a character slot.
 +
 
 +
Natives hired from villages have a [[Local]] attribute that makes them reluctant to follow you after a trek. Keeping them will require a successful speaking challenge and the end of the trek, which will clear the attribute.

Human natives are found in [[Drylands]], [[Jungle]] and [[Prehistoric]] maps. Some also appear as starting companions of certain Leaders.

“My heart pounded with anticipation of the fame and glory that lay before me. But first I would need to hire some assistance...”

Companions will join your party in various ways, most commonly by recruiting them in Paris or in Native villages. Your party can have a maximum of 4 companions in addition to your Leader; any extra characters must be dismissed before moving. (Some special temporary companions are an exception to this.)

All "humanoid" companions (i.e. excluding Animals) have a Loyalty attribute that starts at 2 out of 4; if it reaches 0 the companion becomes Angry and may leave.

Note: In the table below, Health and Dice face colors are for start Level 1, and "Ability X, +Y/promotion" means that "ability" starts at X at Level 1 and increases by Y for each additional level from 2 onward.
