Battle captives
Although a huge amount of knights and commanders(even kings themselves) were captured during ruthless, close combat battles of Medieval Age, it wasn’t accurately reflected in the original game. Even when there were battles 10000 vs. 100 enemy commanders managed to escape somehow. And chance to be captured was so small that you didn’t have to worry about imprisonment at all.
NO MORE. NOW IT GETS REAL. Now ALL characters, who are leading troops have 50% chance of being captured in battle. That means that one small battle can determine the outcome of the whole crusade, you can lose all your sons to an enemy in a single battle or alternatevely, be lucky enough to capture enemy king himself and win the war without even meeting his primary troops. Battlefield is not safe anymore. Consider distant command – under protection of your castle walls.
Recomendations:
-I strongly advise to use my "Merciless Ruler" mod from Steam Workshop. It will give you more control of your prisoners. It is safer to blind and castrate enemy king before releasing him, right?
UPDATED FOR HOLY FURY DLC.
