I'm not sure if this has been discussed already but I was wondering if EBII will still allow us to take generals hostage and be able be able to ransom him back to his faction for mnai? Also is it possible to be able to actually charge an amount or is it hardcoded that the cost be random?

Will EBII incorporate any new features like you give them back their general you can improve relations with that faction, kill them right off the bat and be hated etc. I for one think that the diplomacy in M2TW is much better and allows for some interesting faction relations and alliances not yet conceivable with the RTW engine.
