How to knock enemies out instead of killing them?

[curuorn]

Hello folks,

I've downloaded this mod today and it looks great, I just have one problem. My population is 0 and I keep killing enemies instead of knocking them out.

So how do I knock them out to make them my prisoners?

Greetings from Curuorn

uum... use blunt weapons?

To raise your population, its better to go out and convince traveling peasants to go to your settlement.

...but raiding peasant settlements and knocking every one of them unconcious with a mace before doing so gets you 100+ prisoners which later become population

I tend to do both.
Aye, just use blunt weapons to knock enemies unconscious. Nothing more to it.

Didn't even know that feature exsits?!?1 Prisoners become population? I thought they only give a bonus towards production. What are the requirements that prisoners "transform" into population?

 

[Diavolo]

when they have been in your prison for some time, they just become population after a while. Happens to everyone in your prison who isnt a hero or soldier.

Sorry for being a noob but what does "that's what she said!" mean? i've seen it all over the internet and can't realize what it means! ....and i'm not asking for a translation.

What kind of weapons are available at a merchant or as loot is random. As there are more sharp (C damage) or pointy (P damage) weapons than blunt (B damage) ones yo need a bit of luck.
Low level bandits sometimes drop clubs, others should be available at the weapon merchant in Custow or Charfield (actually for now it's the same merchant in all settlements). If you don't find the right weapon with the merchant check again after a few days.

Another blunt weapon is your horse though it doesn't do much damage when you ride over an oponent.

I'll use my fist untill i've found a blunt weapon.

Thanks for the quick reply's


And i have another question, what are these mock sieges? I had some militia and did one of these but only my hero was there.

In a mock siege your troops (including you) fight against the garrison of your settlement. The option should only be available when you have a garrison.

you could also click ctrl+f4 (cheat) if you really want some prisoners.

Cheaters on this game just fail. It takes so much fun out of the game. 'nuff said.
Better to have it pay off by hard work, you feel so much better at the end of it.

Thank god i don't know how to cheat  When i get really bored i resort to cheating and if i cheat in a game it's VERY hard to start playing it normally again. But then, wasn't this a thread about knocking people unconscious?

 

[Kaibur]

Indeed it was, and I believe the question was answered a page ago.
Lock, if you may.

Using a staff couched on horseback works great and is very cheap early on.

Why ctrl-f4? If you must cheat, do it right. :3 and use ctrl-shift-f4.

In my opinion, it's more fun to break somebody's skull with a war hammer than use Force Knock Unconscious. It's not like its terribly difficult.

Ah right. My opinion is that hammering somebodies skull till it breaks, should not render that person unconscious but dead. Moar brain fluids!

Are blunts that hard to find in this mod? ;s

Hah, I've had that since I started cheating Age of Empires (first), like a few months after it came out? Funny. Now I can have cheats on while playing M&B and still not cheat. (I have them on so I can slow/freeze time to make better screenies :3)
