largest ransom you\'ve gotten?

[Chromebender]

I think I once got 13,000 florins for capturing the king of Spain (and he was killed in the next battle, eliminating the faction muahaha).

[insolent1]

19735 for the Holy Roman Emperor & 3 of his Heirs. It was 1093 & it ended my money problems for many years http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

[Beelzebub]

I got 10 or 11k for the turkish sultan, then the next turn I assassinated him!

[LordTed]

10 k for the bizantinite emperor, but they are always good to get money out of as they usually have too much of it.

[Kraxis]

13500 in 1097, capturing the French king and a prince plus a few nobles.

That made sure I could build whatever I wanted for quite a few years.
Next year I captured the French king again, but I had clearly used up their money reserve. They didn't pay up.

BTW, Danish Crusades are true to history.

You may not care about war, but war cares about you!

12K for the French King and damn i spent it quick!

I'll weep for thee,
for this revolt of thine, methinks, is like another fall of man.

[Emperor Theodoripiklos IV]

17k for the Hungarian King...or was it the polish king...now I dont remember anymore.

[solomani]

30k for the Mongol heir.

[cihset]

25k Florins from rebelling Egyptians, captured the leader and his only heir(s)...
The turn after, it happened again, but now they didn't pay and vanished.

This is the kind of rebellions I like!

[Enigma]

I got 18500 florins for the Spanish King, two years later I captured him again and got another 15000 florins.

[takkran]

I do not take prisoners nor my generals do http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

[barocca]

13K for the Hungarian king!
and 13 K for the French King a couple of years later..

Hehe, you're as lame as me Mith http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif My biggest was 1050...I make it a rule to execute all my prisoners (don't want to fight them again) unless I capture the general, then I get a decent ransom (supposedly) and a general with bad V&Vs on the battlefield. THe general for the 1050F ransom was pretty lame...

[Stu35]

somewhere in the reigon of 7,000 for the Emperor of The Germans...


2 turns later i took 3 of his heirs and the tight bastard refused to pay!!!! (i thought they would always pay for royal blood ?????)

But anyway that was with my english *spit* army,

with my grand Highland Armies (ie. Armies where highlanders form the light cavalry), we dont take prisoners... only pussys such as the English and Sheepshaggers like the welsh take prisoners http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/wink.gif

23K for the King of Sicily...

[Sparky]

10K and something for just the Pope (one man, no one else). I was pretty impressed considering they can just turn on the black smoke and pick a new one.
