I've got a question. In CK2, it is impossible to ransom your relatives out of somebody else's jail if they aren't your courtiers. This includes a situation when e.g. your POV character's spouse is a landed noble in some other realm. Or, say, your queen is the vassal of a duke who's your king's vassal, and she rebels and goes to jail, and you can't get your own wife out of your own vassal's jail. This is something that's been talked about since release (like threads being made about it all the time). Is there a specific technical/balance reason for things being this way? I can't imagine this having been overlooked by accident for like two years (much less obvious and less important things have been fished out and fixed in shorter timeframes), but at the same time I can't come up with a coherent reason why this should be WAD, either. I mean, I can vaguely imagine that it could possibly upset the game balance, potentially, a little, but there are worse exploits.
