In walled fief with Prison Tower: 10% base escape chance, with a 0.5% reduction for every point of the steward's Prisoner Management skill.In walled fief: 20% base escape chance, with a 1% reduction for every point of the steward's Prisoner Management skill.In field: 40% base escape chance, with a 2% reduction for every point in Prisoner Management on your character.The escape check occurs for all prisoners at once, at fixed intervals, so if the timing is wrong a lord can escape right after you capture him. Prisoner Management reduces the escape chance. Prisoner heroes (monarchs, unique spawn leaders and vassals) will attempt to escape captivity every 48 hours, their chance of success is dependent on where you are holding them. If your prisoner capacity is reached, the lord will still be captured, possibly overfilling your max capacity (e.g. You can still capture a lord without using the Prisoner Management skill. This is recommended if you do not have a walled fief to detain the prisoner in, as they will likely escape anyway. You can also talk to the prisoner directly (while they are in your party) for an option to immediately get a ransom and release the prisoner. You may occasionally take lords, monarchs or Unique Spawns' leaders prisoner if they fail to escape from battle (70% chance to escape after their army is defeated).įor captured lords and monarchs, every 24 hours there is a 5% chance that the kingdom from which they come will offer a good deal of denars to get the prisoner released, this amount depends on how important the lord is and the overall wealth of the kingdom refusing this will result in loss of honor, but will prevent them from raising a new army for as long as they are held captive. You can talk to Noldor prisoners for an option to release them for 1 renown and +1 relationship with the Noldor. Heretic pseudo-leaders: Seeress, Eyegrim the Devourer.Elite Snake Cult troops: Serpent Priestess, Azi Dahaka Serpent Priestess, Anaconda Knight.You may want to avoid dragging around low value infantry, while keeping mounted prisoners around for a bit longer.Ĭertain troops can't be knocked unconscious, meaning they can't be captured. Prisoners are considered party members for the sake of calculating speed, thus the amount and speed of prisoners can result in increasing or decreasing Party Speed. Your Prisoner Management skill governs how many prisoners you can take at a time: 10 for every point. If you have a castle, you can check nearby cities until you find a broker, and then convey your prisoners to his location. If you have no city but have higher prisoner management, you can travel around capturing prisoners and selling them as you find ransom brokers. If you have a city, you can put all your prisoners in it until a ransom broker appears in your tavern. Prisoners can be a great source of money if you have high Prisoner Management, or a city or castle to store them in. Sending your troops into battle without you will very often result in wounding enemy troops, which can be useful if on a quest to capture enemy soldiers. This feature only applies to non-elite troops (nearly all troops with level 39 and lower, except for the Noldor Warrior) Also, if the enemy has prisoners, after defeating him the player is allowed to get these prisoners to his army, and trade them for theirs (if he lacks party room).
Once you have taken prisoners, you may recruit them to your party, ransom them to Red Brotherhood agents or Ramun the Slave Trader (found in taverns in cities), or garrison them in a city.
Very rarely, sharp weapons may result in wounding, due to reasons unknown (possibly the surgery skill on the opposite side). You can only capture the enemies who have been knocked unconscious through the use of blunt weapons ( horse charging is also blunt damage).
