Resolved Infinite Ransom

[Evil Overlord]

I was asked by a moderator on steam to post this here.
Summery: A while back I started my own kingdom by stealing one poorly defended castle, after a while I decided to expand to a nearby castle controlled by Battania. I managed to secure it in a quick siege before any of their lords showed up to defend but while I was off collecting troops for the garrison a large force came by to take it back, I marched my much smaller force up to the besieging army and asked them to make peace with me which they agreed to for 1 danar. After securing peace I noticed they had left the former governor in my new dungeon so I popped her into my party and headed over to a town to ransom her off, upon selecting the sell all option for captives and receiving my pay out the option remained and could be repeatedly selected for a lords ransom worth of money. To end the bug I had to select the manual ransom option and move her out of my party which gave me one final payout.
How to reproduce: Not 100% as I have tried to avoid reproducing it.
-Start a war.
-Capture a fief with a governor.
-Make peace with the faction you just robbed.
-Take the former enemy governor to the ransom broker and sell all prisoners.

I actually ended up saving over that one so only possess a couple days before and a month or so after in saves. I'll try to recreate the bug where I'm at now, I'll just throw what I have at a castle then peace to see if I can trigger it again for you guys.

While attempting to recreate the ransom bug I've learned that it is not possible while I have lords and/or mercs in my kingdom as when I make peace it forces everyone to release their captive lords, I loaded up an old save and the same feature does not exist while you are alone in your kingdom.
I've hit a road bump in the process at the moment as I have triggered a new bug I required cheat mode to escape that I will post.
