[Suggestion]Option to kill a lord

[Mountaingoat]

The Swords of Damocles mod has the option to kill a lord once you have captured him, I think this should be added to this mod as well, because it is a great way to conquer an enemy kingdom.

Maybe if you have killed him his son replaces him, but his son would then be way weaker, because he is of course younger?

I also posted this in the suggestion thread, but I feel like it might get overlooked there.

Option: Talk, Release, Red Eagle

Brytewalda (or a submod) has that. But comes with a global -10 relation (even with your fiefs/lords) 

Kill a guy and everyone hates you!

Balance is very trick here tho. But I imagine a submod will include this as soon as we have the modules code...

For now: capture and keep them in your prison if you are not honourable.

16 and counting Various factions. Actually this is going to get interesting cos it's very much crowded in there at the moment and I'm wondering at which point if there's a limit to how many you can hold in one prison.

From a fair play perspective I do kinda feel bad keeping this many locked up, but at the moment it's the only way I can help my faction make up some ground, so I'll keep stuffing them in there. Is there a limit?

Nope, the prison doesn't have a limit, AFAIK.

In Brythenwalda, I tried my best never to release anyone. Some prison in Wales was seriously crowded with the lords and kings of defunct kingdoms.

Is their escape chance so low that they cant escape or how is it? I would also prefer to kill them than to "store" them in some dungeon.

Or even better, also have an option to duel them to the death, if you win you don't lose reputation, because you granted them a honorable death.

Perhaps add a factor for them saying yes. I.e. if they hate you and are a "martial/Quarrelsome/Pitiless/Debauched" type lord they're more likely to say yes.

If you Build a Prison Tower it is about 5% a month or week I think. That seems about right for my experience in VC. Averaged about 10 lords in my prison and so far have only had one escape in 50 days or so.

The game s set up so negative reputation is "FEAR" so it makes sense that winning a duel should increase your negative reputation. Positive reputation is for saints not duelists.

Yep. I make sure it is my most well defended castle. That way those who hate me go to siege my other castles or towns first.

But they don't have a choice, if they say no, you can just kill them anyway.
