In addition, since this is an early access game, things are subject to change.
We’ll be sure to update this guide with any new information we find as we play. That said, they’re a good back up plan if you’re going to be on the road for a while and may lose a few soldiers here and there.Īnd that’s it for now! We’re still working our way through Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. How can I ransom him or somehow benefit from his.
You’re likely better off ransoming them for money at any major settlement. I dont own any cities or villages or castles, but I have a Count from another province as a prisoner. So while you may be tempted to convert them into your armed forces, doing so will take up slots which could be filled by more experienced soldiers. Just keep in mind that prisoners don’t count towards your party limit. At first they’ll just trudge along with you and your clan, but eventually you’ll have the option to go into the party tab and convert them over for free. But if they were listed as prisoners instead, it will take some time to break their will. That is unless after defeating the enemy, they immediately opted to join you. This option won’t be available right away. Of course there’s the other option: letting the prisoners join your party.
How to Recruit Prisoners in Mount & Blade 2 Either way, it’s still worth taking prisoners if only for some extra cash flow and potential renown. You know, if that’s a thing that your clan likes to do. Named characters will obviously fetch a much higher price. Regular bandits and their ilk will only net you five Denars. It’s worth noting that more valuable prisoners will ransom for a lot more.
Each prisoner ransomed increases your Roguery and Trader skill lines. Note: When you do go to sell them, do so one by one rather than bulk selling. They have a chance of escaping, though, even if you put them in a prison with a watchtower. You can keep them in a prison if you own property with one, too. Once you do so, click on “Visit the Tavern District.” Here you’ll see an option to ransom your prisoners and how much money you can get for them. If you hold on to them for long enough their faction will pay a ransom, larger than if you can get a lord to pay you (which isnt always available). If you zoom all the way out you’ll see lots of cities, this is where you need to take them to. You just need to make sure you take them to a large enough settlement.
