Prisoners and Jailors

These interactions are functionally similar to personally imprisoning the prisoners yourself — acting as a bridge to the tedium release/ransom-capture-imprisonment cycle. This action may incur penalties.

The prison's values are weighted by several factors derived from in-game values pertaining to hostile, vassal, and hostage interactions.

Prisoners of interest will be sold from one ruler to another for title stripping, forced marriages, or even recruitment. The AI will always seek prisoners they are at war with to capture.

Influence what's happening around you. Since imprisonment will be more penalizing, this mod now also allow Players to ransom anyone.

However, while they are intended to be balanced, do inform me if they seem 'unfair' or 'unrewarding'.
