    Picky recruitment (liberating soldiers)

    Hi all, I hope I did my due diligence in checking whether this answer exists here already.

    I'm starting to liberate Elysium soldiers, and I know it's strongly implied it's for some great battle later on.

    There's one specific spoiler I'd like, so I don't expend a huge amount of time without cause:

    Does it matter which soldiers I liberate? I'm targeting captains and other high-skilled warriors, like I'd sometimes to when choosing lieutenants for my ship. Is this going to determine which soldiers fight by my side later, or will they all end up being identical when the fight comes? In short, should I continue luring out captains for the kill, or should I just choose 8 shmucks from each county of Elysium?

    Thanks!

    All that matters is you hit the quotas, it's pretty much a standard Conquest Battle at the end the only difference is the enemy can be a little tougher because they can drain adrenaline and instead of a merc popping up half way through one of of statue guys pops up ...... It really doesn't matter who you liberate .... As a Hunter I just pick off guys around the perimeter with knockout arrows and then recruit them .... There was one mission where I wasn't supposed to be seen or kill anyone so to make sure they didn't get found after I knocked them out I just recruited them ..... I've done the same thing in certain parts of the main game, rather than leave them knocked out where they could get seen or even woken up I just recruit them to get them out of the way and then just ditch them later unless they are a legendary

    You can't recruit anyone in the Fate of Atlantis DLC for your ship .....

    As an addendum, I don't think recruiting Elysium soldiers even matters until you get to a certain quest.
