Ah yes looks like Capture Great People for VP isn't playing nice with 3.9.1.

Just wanted to register here - I am testing the latest version, with a bunch of other mods. I'm taking notes, but thus far, 100+ turns, I've had few issues.
The % is based on the Base Unit Strength. So if you have a 8 CS Warrior and 8 CS Enemy Warrior, you'll have a 50% chance of grabbing it while the differences will increase or lower the chance.
50/50 on equal strength is too high I feel like. I'm currently sitting at 55 units on 33 supply and at this point I'm suiciding captured units into their lines as meatshields/diversions.
Keep in mind the capture chance hasn't changed since it was on the Huns, its just that france tends to have more melee, and the musketeer gets a bigger bonus due to its large CS at the time.
This chance thing needs to be rid of anyway. What if we only count the adjacent units of the target when dealing the final blow, and capture if there are 3 more "enemies" than "friends" adjacent to the target?
It works similarly to flanking calculations, but only counts the units surrounding the target.
AI doesn't know about unit captures at all, but they pick off lone units and use flanks very well, so I think they can handle this without meaning to.
If this feels too hard for irregular terrain (e.g. lots of mountains or water), an alternative way is to count the number of adjacent tiles the target can end their turn in (embarkation doesn't count), and only capture if more than 50% of these tiles have target's enemies. This means it's easier to corner the enemy and capture it.
