Khakan 说:
If they are not faction leaders, just sell them back when you're offered ransom. That save & load thing ruins the game.
Doesn't a faction's ability to make war have to do directly with how many lords they have? I thought the number of armies they could field had to do with the number of lords they have active.
Nahkuri 说:
That would be the case, seeing how enemy armies are led by lords. I'm also under the impression that they won't start campaigns so often, if at all, when the marshall(usually king/khan) is imprisoned.
Both correct, but for 3000-5000 denars per ransom, I can field a better army to destroy the enemies when I see them next. Besides, ANY time lost when the Lord cannot raise an army is to your advantage, so I always sell them as soon as I get an offer, and just maintain a very aggressive battle strategy so that I always have 1-2 prisoner if possible.
Or you could head over to TheMageLord's thread on tweaking the game and see how/if the prisoner escape rate can be altered. So far I think he's only addressed how likely you are to capture them after a battle, but he may well be able to help them stay prisoner.
