In a mutli-player game what merits a successful battle?  Meaning if any player wins a battle, the captured hero's "owner" winning a battle and does it have to be against the person who captured it?

Raiders’ Camp
Type: Fortress • Brigade: Multicolor • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: If your human Evil Character captures a Hero, place it here. When opponent makes a successful rescue attempt or battle challenge, instead of surrendering a Lost Soul, release all Heroes from here back to owner. Does not count as redeemed soul. Play As: If your human Evil Character captures a Hero, place it here. When opponent makes a successful rescue attempt or battle challenge, instead of surrendering a Lost Soul, release all captured Heroes from here back to owner. Does not count as redeemed soul. • Identifiers: None • Verse: I Samuel 30:16 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Rare)

Nope. "Opponent" or "opponent's" only ever refers to the person you are fighting against. "An opponent('s) can refer to anyone playing the game. So if player A attacks player B, and player C has anyone's hero in RC, player A winning the battle does not result in the hero being released.

... it says: "release all captured Heroes from here back to owner."

Instead of "owner," I would put the emphasis on "all." All means all. I'm pretty sure RC doesn't work that way.

It could imply "All of opponent's heroes." 

That would be silly, since a common RC strategy is capturing your own Heroes and releasing them when your opponent makes a successful rescue.

OK, so for a hero to be released from my Raiders' I have to be attacked, but say in a 4 player game I capture player A's hero.  Player C attacks me and wins, I then release the hero even though it wasn't player A that won the battle against me.?.?

So no matter who's hero you capture, they only get released in mp if they attack you and win?

Anyone can attack you and win, and EVERY hero in RC is released at that point.

Yeah I know every character...
