In LTC 4.1 the AI gets a small money boost for every settlement it owns on H, and a bigger boost on VH. Scotland gets 700 florins per settlement on VH, and has a Kings Purse of 1500.

I'm playing the Turks on the LTC mod 4.1 and the Egyptians can't afford the ransom so I execute a fair few.

Fantastic piece of work on the mod by the way - first battle and my ass was handed to me by rebels when they sallied forth and routed by battering ram. Sat there with my jaw on the floor.

If you don't want them to pay the ransom, why do you offer it in the first place? .

Just execute the prisoners. If you are worried for your reputation, try to kill as many of them in the battle, by surrounding them and force to fight to death. Use your archers to kill the routers.

Thanks for the replys!

Actually, I kind of like not being able to steamroll the poor Scots in 3 or 4 turns. Right now I'm in a 2 front war with Scottish remnants and the backstabbing French. They'll both pay with terrible interest!

As to killing the prisoners, I'm trying to be a benevolent despot...but surrounding them in battle and killing them to the last man sounds PC enough to me.
