Enable death mode doesn't work

[Jack Avenger]

Like the title said, I killed lords in battlefields (red skull icons) but they actually don't die. Same things for the companions. At the end of battle, it remains as 2 options for lords that I have ''killed'' :
- Imprison them
- Release them

I don't know if it is intended, but you CAN kill them. You capture them and execute them by talking to them in your prisoner interaction menu.

Even disabled death mode you can do that. I don't want to get minus relations with lords, ya know ?

Yeah then I imagine it's just not implemented fully yet

It works like this in warband too (you can "kill" a lord in battle and they wont actually die). Killing lords is meant to have a heavy consequence so it would be pretty bad that you could accidentally have you or your troops kill the lord on the battlefield and still suffer the reputation drop or just trivialise killing lords by letting them die in battle.

Devs please implement this with one of the upcoming patches would love to have the enable death option working

It says "heroes", and it's working on 1.0.4 at least. I lost a Willowbark hero assaulting a Mountain Bandit camp just now. She was dead, no more, she's gone and met her makers, she's ceased to be, she...
What I'm trying to say is, enabling hero death doesn't appear to affect the player at all, my character has been wounded multiple times and she was still kicking. I think it only works on your companion.

I thought enable death means you and your companions can die in battle.

I think lords should actually be able to die in battle, but with very low chances. Like 1% chance of dying vs %99 change of getting wounded.

I would like an option for permadeath on the player and lords in addition to just companions

I thought enable death means you and your companions can die in battle.

Specifically, enable deaths says "heroes can die on the battlefield" which includes the player character, since you are listed with the Heroes section. It may not be working correctly right now, but I certainly want it. There's great drama and tension in joining a battle you might not survive, or facing down a fierce warrior who may be too strong for you to handle.

Can you post a screenshot or explain what happened? I had enable death on and let my character lose over and over again as a test. Like 20 battles on only ever got captured. And how old was your character?
