Often, at the end of each successful battle, you will receive not only loot, but also prisoners. Don't know what to do with them? Then take a look at our guide below.

The battle with robbers, bandits and marauders will lead to the fact that several captives will be at your disposal. You may be glad to hear that they can be sold to earn dinars. And if you do not need extra money or the captured unit is strong enough, then there is even an opportunity to hire him, making him a soldier of a regular detachment.

In no case do not sell prisoners through the "Sell All" button. Instead, you need to sell each prisoner individually to earn a lot more experience points for the "Trade" and "Fraud" skills.
