    Hail Gentlemen,

    I dont know if this topic has been discussed before so excuse me if it has. I was thinking that the current version of MTW allows us to
    Kill captured prisoners during a battle.
    Kill all rebells
    Kill rebell leaders

    I was hoping that in RTW we might be able to get new options.

    Enslave entire population
    Kill all adult males and enslave women and children
    Put city under the ban and kill every living thing, pillage city and then burn it to the ground.

    These options I believe are relevant to the period of RTW and I think would add to the depth of the sp campaign.

    What about an option to add rebel troops to your own army...that would be fun...perhaps unrealistic...but fun...

    I just want to be given some option against enemy factions. If I capture a prince or King, and don't slaughter all of the prisoners on the battlefield, he automatically gets to be ransomed back. WTF I think that if I want to keep the King and ransom the rest, I shouldn't have to kill a whole bunch of innocent (sorta) prisoners just to kill one guy. Not too big of an issue, though...

    but you can weaken factions if you could chose not to ransom the king back... maybe then a much weaker prince have to take over, i mean if you take the head of the king would be a nice tactic...

    There should be an option to be sell captured soldiers into slavery, that was standard practice in those days. There should also be an option to ritually kill the enemy leaders. For example when Julius Caesar finally completed his conquest of the Gauls at Alesia(except for some mopping up), Vercingetorix, the Gallic commander, was sent back to Rome to march in chains in front of Caesar's triumphal procession. After being humilated as part of the triumph, he was ritually strangled.
