CK3: Prisoners and Jailors

Ransom, Offer or Demand Prisoners from other rulers in exchange for favors or gold.

These interactions are 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'.

• This mod introduces additional opinion modifiers, thereby enhancing the dynamic of prisoner bartering interactions.

• The 0.7.0+ update introduces a new special prisoner traveling mechanic. This mod allows prisoners to travel towards their new prison following a barter interaction, thus enhancing immersion.

Prisons of War by Stik'

• This mod introduces a special mechanic wherein prisoners captured in battle are now held captive by Commanders until they reach a friendly territory.
• I recommend using this mod only with Travelers installed, as it fixes some inherent issues with transferring prisoners held by a commander.
