Please explain me in detail how the new (since 3.9) capturing chance for minor heroes script works. There is so many misunderstandings and always hear different explainings from people. Some say, it gets prerolled for the whole week and i will be able to cath all of them in this week or they all will escape in that week, others say that it's bull**** and it gets rerolled after every battle in same week.
So, how the hell does it work in detail?
So, how the hell does it work in detail?
1) Every 5 days script will generate random from 0 to 99.
2) After each battle with heroic personality it will reroll. Aslo Eyegrim the Devourer and Tree Seers are counted.
3) This mercenary NPS will never be captured:
Kapitan Gerhart
Toblik
Velasco Perfecta Banderas Durante
Lydia of Sarno
Grandilon
Sir Timothy
Lothario
Sir Morcas VII Baron Verral
Firuz the Brazen
Shiruzah of the Hallowed Arrow
Jarryn Maersow
4) Chance_to_capture = 40% + prisoner_managment*5
5) If one of the noldor lords is partisipating as ally or enemy then you will never capture anyone

Hero will escape if evaluation is true
Random(100) + prisoner_managment*5 < 60
If noldor participate than Random = -100
-100 + prisoner_managment*5 < 60 - it will always be true
Random(100) + prisoner_managment*5 < 60
If noldor participate than Random = -100
-100 + prisoner_managment*5 < 60 - it will always be true

Most people don't savescum and have no problems with normal flow of the game where you're supposed not to capture leaders every single time - there's no need to know exact mechanic at all. Devs took steps to show light to those poor addicts who waste time on savescumming and ruin their own experience with uncalled troubles. Most resilient of them are still trying to do the same thing despite huge additional efforts brought by new mechanic which just make random unaffected by loading immediate saves. Their needs are not needs of majority of players, like, at all.

They only NEED to know that loading save will not change probability of capture to not waste time and it's already stated in changelog and can be copied to pop wiki. There is no need in sticky thread or any other flashy moves - that is my point. It's already stated in the game that capturing is a chance affected by PM skill - it's exactly how it works and only savescum addicts will see an issue here.
After you knocked out go to game options and speed up game speed. Agents Will move faster. Increase battle size. But it can slow battle if fps drops too low and can cause CTD.
The bug with the noldors is that game engine doesn't count doubles noldor values for autobattle. It has its own values. The AI will fight with noldors even if they are stronger. So they can become very strong. It can be handled in module system.
Calanon in Elacrai is your man. Have at least 70 relations with the Noldor, and then you can ask him to share his own assortment of secrets: https://pop3.fandom.com/wiki/Custom_Knighthood_Order_Unlockable_EquipmentTheAnyKey said:
So regarding this upcoming feature in 3.9.5 :
"-- "Purge the world" - attempt to reduce sizes of all field armies (not currently in battle) to the selected maximum value (1k, 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k, 7.5k, 10k) by removing (starting from the bottom) stacks of troops with level <35; low level soldiers will be disbanded first (level thresholds: <=10, <=19, <=25, <=34); there is one extra option to set max to 1k and completely ignore level cap during disbanding operation"
is this aimed at solving the issue of savegames becoming corrupted at some point late in the game because of too many parties on the map? Because I was under the impression that this was already resolved in a past version, or am I mistaken?
