Since there appears to be no option to abdicate, does any know how I can kill my ruler? I understand there is a way using spies where you remove your spy master, send a spy to kill someone, hopefully get discovered, and then hopefully get a retalitory assassination attempt, which again hopefully succeeds. Seems pretty iffy to me. Especially since I'm HRE at the moment - I'd imagine I'd have to target a big rich country because for them to retaliate they gotta have $450. Even then I donno if they'd have cash for another attempt if the first one fails.
If you care to know, my HRE ruler stat is 12/9/15/11/8, and is 44, which is pretty good. However, her only heir is 20/19/25/17/16, 16 year old kid with Genius trait. Second, I married him off to an OPM Duchess of Kent with good stats. However, I now want him to divorce her, which can only happen if he becomes the ruler. Instead I want him to marry the 12 year old Empress of the Byzantine Empire after his brother died a couple months ago and I succeeded in killing her Empress mother. Third, she's a woman, giving her a -10 with vassals. Finally, I want to rescind the Duchy of Bavaria because it's gotten to powerful, but the penalty would be substantial. If she dies soon after, though, then I'll have a nice easy empire to manage.
