POW in Rome
Haven't visited the forums lately, so I don't know if this has been asked (and hvane't seen any thread regarding this aspect)
Were POW's removed from Rome, or only from the demo (they weren't too relevant without a campaign map I suppose)? If in Medieval they could be more or less optional, in Rome they are a must I think. The whole roman sistem was based on slave trade, as we all know. One should get pretty serious income from selling prisoners.

Yes - there is population in RTW so that having a healthy and growing population makes for more soldiers, more diplomats etc... after a battle you get three options: 1) Kill all 2) Enslave All 3) Release All
or something like that - the enslaving all dispurses the prisoners through your cities in your faction, giving a boost to production of food stuffs as well as soldierly training.

Re: POW in Rome
I do'nt see how they could not leave out such a feature. I'm just wondereing what are the options for non Roman factions. Decisive battles said the Parthian army took 10,000 Roman soldiers so did they also take them as a prisoner for slave or did they quietly slaughter them all once the Roman army was decimated.
