Enslavement

[Dutch_guy]

Further more I hope they add the MTW options of killing all the prisoners, ringleaders or freeing all the POW's. And also keep all the options they have in Rome total war - only make pillaging a little less rewarding.

Pillaging a little less rewarding are you mad.

[boastj]

I think he mean after battle. They didn't alway execute POW.

Yes, that’s what I mean

last time I checked I wasn't.

Pillaging aka exterminating is far to rewarding in Rome one notices this when you force yourself not to exterminate - ever.
You'll find the game to be much harder.

[ZombieFriedNuts]

Actually I think you might be right Dutch_guy

Wasn't it only the Arabic/Muslim factions that had the option of enslaving?

As a Christian faction you had ransoms....and for rebels there was kill all, kill ringleaders, or release all.

I hope they keep it this way. Actually I would like total freedom to choose what to do with them whether I am Christian or Muslim but if it's the same as before I will be happy.

Erasing the past...

[Mooks]

Serfs were near-slaves. They were treated as slaves and could be called slaves. They worked thee farms. This game should definetely add slaves- but not as much as RTW. Building huge projects needs huge masses of peaseants or slaves.

The Venetians were involved in slavery - the prohibition was mostly against enslaving fellow Christians. Foreigners, heretics, and infidels were fair game - according to a lot of peple.

[Furious Mental]

Perhaps you should have the option of enslaving Christians but with the risk that it will earn the ire of other Christian factions.

In MTW, I meant.

Very true, so much easier to swell your coffers by exterminating. I hope that the option to press into service is added

Consricption?

Enemy hostages, instead of being killed or released, would be forced to fight for your army.

only make pillaging a little less rewarding.

Or they could make it more rewarding, by adding pillageable unwalled villages in every province. If you for example were too raid one of these villages the owner of the province would loose tax income for a certain amount of turns while you would gain some cash from looting. This would make raiding more realistic as a raiding party would no longer need to lay siege to a city and conquer a province just to do some raiding, nor would a raiding power need the manpower to perform an assault.

I can already see their wonderous "backstabbing-mutiny-rout at the slightest mention of enemy" morale
