Was re-reading the game over message and realized that I probably didn't die, just became unlanded somehow, which would explain zero score. But someone of my dynasty got an artifact from me(without me gifting it), does abdicating force transfer artifacts(iirc it doesn't transfer money)?
I have a crazy theory.
If factions for "[claimant] for [title]" can fire while holder is at war and the title in question is contested.
Old holder of the title was sent faction demands to install some unlanded claimant for Ireland just before war ended.
He then lost the title, but game didn't check if he still had it when giving him demands event.
For whatever reason he agreed to faction demands. Claimant gets Kingdom title, is landless, usurps landed title from old holder. Game checks, player unlanded -> Game over, skipping auto usurp title from vassals if that even happens in these cases, normally only see it in claim wars.
Really wish ironman would save on game over so you could do post mortem on the save.
Anyway, I'm on another game now, ravaging Asia.
