I'm a judge in my realm. This is my first time as judge. I've read all the wiki, and still have a question.
An adventurer was brought into the dungeon. Her realm is at war with mine. I could not execute her, I could not banish her, I could only torture, speak, and release.
A knight is in my dungeon. His realm is at war with mine, when he entered our city. Here are my options:
X
Noble of Y, captured by patrols in Z. He has been imprisoned for 2 days. He still has XXX gold coins in his possession.
The current ransom is 93 gold.
Background information on this family.
Take his gold - dishonourable, but fast cash.
Set him free - no strings attached.
Torture him - may get you a look into his recent past, but is very dishonourable.
Deport him - not possible for this one; he is not a criminal.
Have him executed - you can not execute this one; he is not a criminal.
Talk with him - maybe you can convince him to join your realm or give you valuable information.
I'm at a loss... there's no punishment available. Shouldn't a judge be able to do something to enemies of the realm?
The report to the "Magistrates" reads in part: "Please use the bugtracker for bug reports and the forum for questions. They are also not for issues of in-game injustice. The middle ages were not a nice time, and a certain amount of arbitrariness and evil is part of the game." If the middle ages were not a nice time, why cannot I be not-nice to my attackers who are under my thumb?
The wiki says: After seven days, you will be set free automatically.
That does not comfort me.
Thanks for any help or insight you can provide.
