Prisoners...

[Foot]

We cannot really mod this area of the game, and we certainly couldn't a new options. We could rename the kill option and change the effects associatiated with it to enslave.

So prisoners are going to be in EB II?

[Foytaz]

Don't know if such option is even possible but I'd glad to see taken prisoners sold to slavery(mnai bonus) or pledge allegiance to the victor and join his ranks!!!

They can't not be in EBII. We cannot mod that area.

First is slightly possible through scripting, the second is impossible.

[Iraklis]

Hmm... I know i am pushing my luck here, but will there be consequenses on the generals traits depending on the dissions made about the prisoners? (Again like vanilla M2TW)

[Foot]

Yes, of course.

[Iraklis]

Ok, thanks a lot for the info
And again, very good job!

Wait, why? You don't have to mod the prisoners function, do you? Isn't it possible to leave it as it is?

[Foot]

Pay close attention to the double negative in that sentence you quote above, it will explain exactly why your understanding of what I wrote was wrong.

So really, what Foot said was they must be in EB, there´s no way to remove them. He just likes to play tricks with our heads.

I've gt a better idea... rename th "ransom" option to enslave, because essentially, you are SELLING the troops into slavery, so you get money from it just like you do in the ransom option.

[Dumbass]

What about the fact that it's the enemies that buys these said enslaved troops and that they get them back?

ummm... roleplay!

They did ransom troops back then though. So i think ransom should stay as is.

The thing I hate about M2TW prisoners is that ever single guy you kill when chasing routers becomes a prisoner. By releasing prisoners you give the enemy 90% of their defeated army back without concequences. And killing prisoners makes your general get negative traits that effect more than killing prisoners should effect. I wish there was a "parole" option in M2TW, so you could "disband" the enemy's captured army.

So essentially what you want is to get rid of the enemy army without negative traits - doesn't this happen when the enemy rejects the ransom offer? In my experience with M2TW the ransoms are very rarely accepted and so the prisoners are killed, but I can't remember if the general gets bad traits.

This might not be practical for EBII because I don't know if the $ value of the units is changeable (but I hope so) to change the likelihood of a ransom being accepted, but I think the current effect of the M2 ransom option is what you're looking for.
