Who can be imprisoned?

[Sotnik]

Hi! How can I check if an enemy can become a legit target for capture before his hp drops below 50%? Are there any indicators? As for the animals, are they all capturable (including ghosts)?

Also please advise if captured enemies can become good mercs. Henchmen and Legionaries' skill trees are not impressive, but maybe UI lacks some information like abilties and passives? Do captured enemies have any unlockable skills that are not listed in their skill tree?

Below 50 health points, yes. Then you have to have the target engaged and move someone behind him and capture. Just have chains with you and you're golden.

As far as I know you can capture anyone you fight against. I managed to enslave a few story quest characters who I'm trying to convert in my save.

I did notice however that since they were not criminals I couldn't sell them to the jail.

Some enemies have a red "star" in their buffs which indicate when highlighted that they can't be captured.

Thank you! Not it is clear :).
As for animals, are there any limitations?

Where do you get the plan for chains?

There is no plan for chains, you get them from prisons or sometimes traveling merchants.

Thanks! Are prisoners worth investing into hiring them?

My favorites are Criminals and Zealots. I love their Passives. But the low level ones are kinda meh. I suggest if you want some good convertible prisoners, try levelling up first where you can manage to battle groups of lvl14 ones, They're already max. Investing some influence in career paths will make these secondary units a good part of your team.

Wrongdoer looks not bad too.

Do captured enemies have any unlockable skills that are not listed in their skill tree? My boar got a new skill on level 5, and I now suppose that I have underestimated prisoners as potential recruits.

You can also sell refugees at the mill north of Stromkapp in Tiltren. You don't get as much krowns but you do get some wood and influence which is nice early game.

Haven't tried all the factions but at least in Tiltren you can sell the outlaws and deserters (chain icon instead of the bandit) to the prison. Refugees have to be sold at the above mentioned location.

How do you unlock that? The person north ot Stormkapp just keeps acting coy about it being just a regular old mill.

You need to get into the basement.. That starts that story line.
