How the F do i capture people?

[PenderBloodfart]

I have 18 ropes and so far all i could capture was a boar... I don't get it, i don't get any option except to let people flee from battle when scared

Rope only works on animals - you need shackles from the prison tower to capture people

[ChopSuey™]

You need to get some chains for people... for the starting Tiltren region, you'll need to go to the jail and speak to the jail master. From there, buy some chains and off you go :)
Animals require you to have ropes in your inventory..... 3 Per capture. Don't believe you'll get the ropes back though

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game seemed realistic but it's just confusing

Keep in mind you can only sell up to 3 captured outlaws to each jail per day and the chains are reusable after that, so if all you want to do is make more money then you only really need 3 chains (as long as no prisoners escape you). But the captures have to be of the "Outlaw" classes (ie Bandits and Deserters) for the jail to accept them.

If you want to use prisoners for other things, then you might need more chains, of course.

The more i've played of the game though, the more i like it. It really gives me that battle brothers feel but a completely different game. I'd have loved randomised maps but hey thats me being greedy :)

I'm very much liking all the little mini systems and ways that things happen though. You can build a troupe and completely skip entire parts just focusing on others. I want to see more of all this so that you have options to build your merc band as you see fit and hope they continue on with the broad theme with DLC in the future.

Heck... I've never actually bothered with capturing ppl myself as I only found out about it a little later on. I've also, for some odd reason, never even got a spearman for my squad yet. just havent had the right vanilla character yet. :)

Just to add this information: You can also sell Refugees, but not for the jail. That's it, figure out how by yourself. (Its up to your choice in-game, and it happens in Tiltren).

are refugees worth more than outlaws?

For some animals you need 5 ropes :)

Ventruse jail takes 5.

[Summanus]

Yeah, I think maybe all the jails take up to 5 prisoners at a time now... Just tested the Tiltren one and I could hand in up to 5. I guess they must have increased it in an update I missed.

[Kai]

if there is existing prisoners in jail, even less can be sold to them.

So outlaw is not a consistent source of money.

Best to get the recipe for the Stocks if you wanna jail multiple people in the other region north of Tilren County.
