I want to seize important territory from a significantly stronger ruler. Using one of the Intrigue perks, I’ve managed to abduct his primary heir. While I work on bolstering my army, I figured I’d ask if you all know the answer to this.

Will I start out with +50 War Score for having his primary heir as my prisoner? Or does it only count prisoners taken during the war?

Follow-up question, is there any way to exploit a hook against the enemy ruler in the war? I’m in the middle of a scheme to fabricate a hook against him but I’m not certain how I should use it.

    Thanks, it worked and I started with the +50 war score.

    Also I see what you mean, not much you can really do with a hook in the middle of a war. I think the best I could have hoped for would have been digging up a secret that I could expose in order to hurt his reputation with his vassals.
