Do you think Prisoner Mangement is too Low?

[Uhtred of Bebbanburg]

So, Floris has Prisoner Management set at 5 prisoners per point. I happen to think this is really low, especially since my new player is 30k in debt and I can only capture 10 prisoners on this build, and I can't get more points until I read the bible and then Ramun's notes.

Also, would you think it was cheating if I used TweakMB to raise it? I probably won't do it because I'm trying to play an unmodifed Mod game, but at the same time it's really hard leaving thousands of denars on the field after every battle. I know I could rescue some Manhunters but I think they end up being unbalancing and that's no fun. But making money is fun and right now I feel like I'm bleeding money to no good end.

Any thoughts or responses on this?

It is.
skill_prisoner_management_bonus = 5 in module ini. I changed it to 7. Also it seems that you companion skills are additive when it comes to prosoners, so you can train someone for this specifically.

I don't think companions can contribute to prisoner management. I think what you are noticing is that there are manhunters (or their upgrades) which are also stat units which contribute up to 3 points to prisoner management (if you have 40 I iirc).

I used Tweak MB and changed it to 200 per PM. I figure if the lords can carry unlimited prisoners then so should I. And since my companions wield the lucrative if hard to get Horseman's Mace they get a lot of prisoners. 

In Tilbaut Castle alone I can capture 1000 prisoners per battle. Ferrying them to a ransom broker at 20 per trips is far to tedious.
