These towns have taverns where you can ransom some or all of the prisoners you have, in exchange for gold. Now that you have captured some soldiers or bandits, what do you do with them? The simplest way to deal with them is to head to the biggest town nearby. Should you exceed this prisoner cap, the prisoners will slow your army down in the world map and even have a chance to escape your grasp. The prisoner number cap is around half of your current troop party size. Keep in mind at all times though that there is a limit to the number of prisoners you can capture. Of those unconscious enemies, you'll then get a choice of which ones to capture and make your prisoner. It's important to distinguish that running over an enemy with a horse will knock them unconscious as it counts as blunt damage, unless you have conched a lance in advance as that is a bladed weapon. You'll know if you have killed an enemy if the notification at the top right of the screen shows a red skull, and a white skull shows they're unconscious.Īt the end of the battle, you'll get a results screen which shows both numbers of killed and unconscious enemies. Taking down an enemy with a bladed or ranged weapon will kill the soldier outright.

To capture all kinds of enemies, no matter if they are regular bandits or the noblest of lords, you need to defeat them in battle by knocking them unconscious by using blunt weapons.
