Do you always get the prisoners?

[Sayid Gishta]

My 10 men and I helped a big battle between two kings, didn't do much and I ended up getting wounded. I sent in my party twice without me and my ally won. Then I recieved about 6 prisoners, including the king of Rhodoks 

Do you always get the prisoners, regardless of how much/little you contributed to the battle?

I think it always give the player first pick of the prisoners, and anything they don't take the AI divides up. I could be wrong about that, of course, since I rarely help the other lords in a fight, but that's the way it goes with Manhunters and villagers.

 

[Sayid Gishta]

It is convenient but I find it a bit unrealistic that I hardly helped the battle and I get 4000 denars for capturing a king.

If I remember correct you always get all the nobles but only your part (based on troop numbers) of regular prisoners and loot.

True; The player always gets the NPC prisoners. Capture is determined by a % chance(not 100%) and the players prisoner skills. Prisoners are divided among the lords presant. Released prisoners for hire are also divided among the present NPC's.

Just in case you didn't know on default its a 70% of escape for the enemy lords.

In M&B Native the chance of a lord to avoid capture is a straight 80% chance modified by nothing.
