Any faction can ransom it's troops of course as you are allowed to can go into the red (borrow) to do so, but I've yet to see the AI actually pay more than about 50,000 - 60,000 florins. I can remember capturing about 2000 -3000 men including a king and nobles in a single battle on several occasions, the ransom would been huge but the AI didn't pay. Now the AI can pay, because it can borrow the money, but for some reason it doesn't. I wonder how the AI actually 'decides' on this?
