how to execute captured spies?

[wildmick]

does anybody know?

You don't. See no reason for it.

i have no desire to ransom him back when he'll just be used against me again, so i'd rather just kill the spy, but can't work out how to.

is that reason enough?

I'm guessing holding them's better than killing them if the AI's as limited as the player is in the number of spies it can have active at any one time. I much prefer capture to killing for that reason although the ridiculous deals the AI often wants for trading spies is laughable, I mean, what's wrong with a spy for a spy?

Killing it would just give the AI the ability to make another one and send it to harass you again. Better to just keep him in prison for the rest of time.

You can't but its hilliarous every time you capture somebody's spy or kill somebody's spy and especially if you never even used them.

Ransoming back the spy lets you get some nice goods, throw in a little cash and get a great work out of it or just gold. And you know you will kill or capture him later anyways, whats not to like?

keeping it prevents the ai to create another. why would you want to execute a spy and give the ability to the ai to just spawn one more and send it back to you ?

Throw him in prison it keeps them from create another , much more benifical to you as a player.
