Is there a way to make the surrender your situation is hopeless script work?

[Rob de Hard]

I've never once had it actually work .. ?

I have.  The enemy castle had about 15 guys left.  It is programmed to only really work if you attacked a castle and only lost by a little.

They surrender when they're on low morale - so when they have repeatedly lost battles, when they're low on food (which you can see in the siege scree, how many days left until starved out)...

Very rarely worth doing, easier to just smash their heads in.

As to how to change it I'm afraid I don't know.

Yeah, only ever worked once for me.
