Title: Strategus Ransom
Post by: BeastSVK on October 25, 2012, 03:56:40 pm
I would like to suggest ransom fro strategus .. As more and more spys are troling around of each faction and after fuck them to ass they will come back. It could be lowered by ransom for heroes. Each defeated hero will be captured after battle is lost and there will be ransom for him ( now when renown is part of strategus, ransom can go higher as bigger renown hero have, or as much battles he won, if he is fief owner etc.) Amount of ransom will be set by server not faction who capture hero so there will be no 10000000000g for captured hero. After payed ransom hero will spawn in nearest fief of faction he belong. For neutral heroes i suggest ransom too but it will be taken from their gold if they will not have enought gold for ransom they will must to play more crpg :D and after gold will mach ransom they will be spawned randomly somwhere.

You pay, you're free. You don't pay, you're not free. Maybe for a certain time.

Let's say, you're caught and you don't pay:
For the first time, it is 1 week penalty. Second time it is 3 - 4 weeks, third time it is 1 month. Afterwards it stays 1 month.

I guess thats a long time and probably far too much as a round only goes for 1 year so better ignore the amount of time above. ;)
Also the spys are also only useless then, if they cannot see people and stuff in the fief while captured.

The idea would make people be more defensive...

You can play the same day if someone/ you can pay the price to release you...

And then lets say for this example.


Mercs capture some BashiBazouk and DRZ guys they're holding hostage inside Herpaderp Castle for ransom and then Cicero for example, is pulling a Jihad on that castle and successfully captures the castle and can (if he wants to) release all those prisoners.

JAILBREAK!

You will have to assign gate watchers and jailers for a high price, the enemy can try to free them for prison, just him and a small party vs the gate - prison guards.
Once you enter the prison the guard will have awoken the lord of the castle, which, naked out of his bed, challenges you to a duel with his wooden stick to decide whether or not you succeeded in freeing your buddy's.

But multiply by the rank of the player in the faction :)
If you capture a king (rank 10) you will receive ten times the ransom  :twisted:

Well, having players be removed from strat map for some time after getting defeated would make sense and, imho, improve the game, as it would make sense to make attacks on enemies, especially when they're snooping around your territory with no troops/gear - overall making territory control and field battles more meaningful.

Problem is, it would basically kill all the small clans for once and forever. With the trade change you make hardly any gold by trading and everyone would try to capture any small army leader just for the ransom. You wouldn't even have a chance to recover your troops after a loss as you would be a prime target again with only few troops. Everyone would be on a hunt for 100 troop armies just for the ransom.

Would be interesting but only if it wasn't for that long and had somewhat reasonable gold demands. Also there would have to be a chance of escaping via either random chance or allowing the person that wants to escape a way to escape without outside help that has a very low chance of succeeding.

Also jailbreaks ofc.

Chance of escaping:

Combat by trial on EU3. The captured player can request such a trial by combat once a week and send his champion against the champion of the other faction. The champion has to be in the same faction as the player. The player cannot fight himself. If he is in no faction he has to request a champion from another faction.
Maybe each faction can set 5 champions that can be ask for by other people. If your faction has its champion, you cannot ask for any other though.

Combat by trial is duel and is of course best to fight with 2h, 1h or pole... :P
