Whiskey Sour
Recruit
Hello, I was wondering if this is intentional. They will randomly escape or disappear from my party without me ransoming them. I am not over my prisoner limit.

Well in warband, captured lords all have a random chance of escaping captivity. The default was like 20% each every 72 hours or something. This gets reduced by skills and if they are in castles, but is never 0. And it applies to lords captured by AI also. In fact, I was probably necessary for the AI otherwise most lords will just end up in the dungeons after a while. I believe it was also necessary so the player character can escape captivity too.
So I imagine it to be the same in Bannerlord.

their family and friends get a -25 opinion of you and their enemies + some amount
not too bad if you ask me
Might be bugged. The escape rate seems way higher than just 20% over 3 days... Every single one of the last 6 lords i've captured has escaped within a couple of days. Didn't happen before the most recent patch.

Its much worse if the lord you executed is leader of the faction i got -99 relations with monchugs family and friends.
Same for me, all that goodwill I built up by letting them leave gone to waste....So I started killing all of them
I captured two lords and after literally a few hours they were gone.
Does anyone examined why lords keeps escaping so often, please? I wonder if it’s bug or game mechanics (i.e. it’s bounded to some skill etc.).

It's a quick and dirty fix to snowballing. When they figure out other solutions to snowballing factions they'll probably ease up a bit.
One of the big ones should be to allow lords to disengage from the fight when they're at a clear disadvantage. I don't see a lot of lords breaking off the fight and making a run for it, and that was a common feature in Warband, and one of the reasons the Khergits were able to stick around is how good they were at living to fight another day.

After a while, click on the prisoner and the option will open to talk to him and tell him that he is not trying to escape. Works for me and not a single prisoner has escaped me so far, and I dragged some for days. Hope it helps someone
Thanks. But I think you’re just lucky, I don’t really think that it has impact. At least in Warband it had not.
But I must admit that since I was complaining here, no lord has escaped from my captivity.
EDIT: Probably because I sell them immediately in the nearest tavern everytime.
You’re definitely right. But I don’t sell them for money. I sell them, because it’s in fact the only thing besides execution that makes sense. I’m used to play long runs in M&B, so I don’t really need executions (and I don’t want negative traits).
