Ransom'd prisoners re-attacked

[HarneY]

So I am playing as Dale and was taking the King down to fight Rhun. So I was getting reinforcements to meet up with them but they had to cross over a bridge in Rhun territory didn't think about it just walked them over. Rhun had an army attacking me that I was unaware of and they jumped in and slaughtered my reinforcements. 3 horses were captured but during the battle I had tried to cause as many casualties as possible making these valuable horses rank up a fair bit. So i thought ok I'll coffer up like 30 florins for 3 or so horses and retrain them into a good unit. So I do it and then they retreat into my territory and Rhun carry on their turn. But then they attack them again!! Surely you can't attack them again I just coughed up ransom for those troops. They were subsequently massacred and ransoming them was a complete waste of time.

Is there any way to keep ransom'd troops safe until my turn where I can move them away?

[Muffer Nl]

No there is not. Rhun clearly still had movement points left.

Would you have let your enemy go?

[HarneY]

If they had just given me money to let their prisoners go probably. But this doesn't normally happen because the loser usually retreats back to a settlement but we were in wilderness..

In fairness, turns do take a year. Your men were released and tried to get back to friendly territory. By the time the enemy attacked them a second time, they were fair game as soldiers who'd been given ample time to leave.
