What does happen to troops, that surrendered?

[jammindonut]

As the title says, do we get back the troops, who have surrendered (=been encircled and defeated), after we have peace with whomever they surrendered too? Or are they just as dead as soldiers, who actually died in combat?

Hope this is clear, sometimes I tend to even confuse myself.. Thanks for the answers!

As of now to my knowledge the manpower is just lost. But if i remember a statement from podcat correctly, they the want to build in a mechanic for encirled and overrun units to give a small amount of manpower back. Also I think they want to count captured manpower and give it back after peace. But this are all plans for after the release

Thanks for the Info, looks like I missed it. Where are those informations from ?

I think it could maybe be cool if encircled units can ' escape' but that would depend on whether you're too far away from friendly territory.

Like say: Prov 1 and 3 are friendly territory. Prov 2 is enemy.

1, 2, 3

Units in Prov 3 are encircled but because they 2 Prov away from Prov 1, some are able to escape and some manpower is regained.

But the farther apart your encircled units are from friendly territory (I.e. An island) and you lose all that unit's manpower

In this last WWW Daniel said they were maybe going to adjust the loss so you get back a portion of the manpower in encirclements.

Yes sort of hoping that % depending on security, location and the situation can trickleback ... There should always be a percentage that escape capture in rough terrain more. In cities more... In clear cut off terrain less but that may be a job!

Had a dad (moderator) just closed a thread moments ago saying that captured troops will not be kept track of.
