First of all, does anyone know if the three blind brothers (also playable counts) of the king of Galicië Asturias excisted? And if that is the case, does anyone know who did actually blind them?
Main question though, is there also an advantage to be a Tyrant? I would wish to see the possibility to blind (maybe castrating was an eastern thing to do, no idea) or to scar a traitor or prisoner after victory. Call me sadistic, but I think it would be satisfying... Also I would like it to have some function, for example, the formation of fractions would be discouraged. No one would be crazy enough to go against their king if the cost would be your tongue, eye, or left arm. Maybe it that case as trade-off let people be more interested in murdering or cooperating in plotting against crual ruler. It would be nice to see rulers with more power (larger demenses) or emperors, less depending on income (maybe second trade-off), to be able to get away with anything, be truly named 'the terrible'.
And as icing on the cake, let there be another sequal of events, depending on the type of ruler. When the ruler would die, let there be an event. Negative or possitive depending on chance, and differing in impact depending on time ruled by the ruler. For after a 30 years reign of a ruler called 'the wise' let the people of the kingdom mourn the wise kings, let there be a little economic impact because of iconic art based on the deceased. Or when there would be a truly terrible Tyrant, let there be a period of celebrating, finally the bastard is gone.
