Capturing noblemen

[Sir Saladin]

I tried the search but even if I found the old topic why would I want to resurrect a long old thread anyway? Since I've been playing only for the quests and rank titles lately (I'm a squire now? How strange. And yet I lead a gang of knights, but I will save that for later because it doesn't interfere with the fun of this game.) I wish that either there was a way that the nobleman would surrender because his guards are dead or that the quest would be removed because I don't like using a hammer or a jousting lance in battle and all of my fighters are using sharp knives or pointy things instead of blackjacks so naturally the nobleman is killed every time and it is just a waste of my valuable time to try the nobleman quest. I understand that it is a time limited quest and when I fail it I can just run back and get a new one but it is a bit of a pain. Other than that I would like to play as a Khergit or sea raider!

I'd prefer it if the nobleman (along with generals and caravan masters) were enemy heroes, in that they have all the abilities that heroes enjoy.

If you defeated one in battle, he wouldn't die, but instead would be knocked unconscious. Once the battle's over, you can talk to him, and in the menu presented there, you have the option of executing him.

That would be perfect Ingolifs. Hey, since I don't like making new posts would it be OK if I mentioned that I would like a dark red version of the Black armor again? Like Vladislav Dracula in that movie? I wouldn't care if it was weaker than black armor, and how about stronger kite shields with lions rampant and dragons or eagles instead of the green stripes? Those are the only requests I can think of at the moment and I will let it rest.

There are usually only 18-20 men in the nobleman group, so I find it easier to just take them on myself with a jousting lance and warhammer. Is a bit of a pain, but reduces the chance that one of my idiots will kill the nobleman.

don't fight against nobleman.order your soldiers attack while you stay back then %90 nobleman will be wounded (i'm using this)
