Description
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.

This mod is a little bit too easy. I conquered all of the Iberian peninsula and created the Empire of Hispania and King of England as well lol. All of this in one lifetime.

Is it just me or after installing this mod duels happen less almost being non-existent on the battlefield?

this compatible with CK2+?

i like this mod a lot but i think i'm going edit it and make the factors smaller. like 25% for emperors and scaling upwards for low ranks. Given that an army is more likely to help their higher ranks escape.

@MtvYoloSwag, yes it's 50% if you lose the battle

are you planning on transferring this mod over to CK3 when it comes out?

50% is a bit high for me.

You wrong, my friend...Many times history proof that numbers are not mathers....and smaller army was able to defeat or resist to do hudge casultates to bigger army.
Of course is not my intention to argue.

List of military disasters ( list is really huge ) - {LINK REMOVED}

Battle of Wizna - {LINK REMOVED}

Polish army lost, but ...after 3 days and check how much they was oveerwelmed by enemy forces.
And I want to remind the German general was Guderian the Father (creator) of Blitzkrieg

Even the Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton how in fact do soundtrack for Paraqdox games ( HoI )sings about this battle.
