Annoying courtiers--byzantium

[Arentak]

So, I was playing as BYZ. I consolidated my holdings, beat down my disloyal vassals, lined up a safe dynastic succession, then went to war against some Muslims. A decade later, there are NO christians in my kingdom's court, its all muslims. They breed and breed and I can't get rid of them. I can't appoint any counts or dukes, since I dont want to give Muslin's land, I can't let anyone lead an army unless its the Emperor, because the muslim general will take my land. That really sucked. So I went on an assassination spree and killed about 30 courtiers. My piety was -1300. Would God really be upset at me for slaughtering a bunch of heathens? Clearly, I could't continue that game. I wish there was a "dismiss" button or something.

hehe aye dismiss would be nice...or do what i do use the die command on console to dismiss the ones you dont want i use it to get rid of cousins as well since i like pure lines using my dynasty name

No capital Ts this time?

I think that assassinations for muslims/pagans should not cost as much prestige and piety, but potentially more gold. If you want your piety back, just type 'piety'.

I have since learned of the Die command. Although it is a cheat code, I don't think its fair to get saddled with dozens of heathens in my court if I don't want them there. So, I'm going to allow myself to use the die command on pagan/muslims who come to my court after I take over their homes. I wont use on anyone else, cuz that'd be like cheating. There's a line somewhere, I dont want to cross it.

A dismiss button for courtiers would be nice. However, what I think is needed even more is some kind of court ledger that allows you to sort up your court. It's a huge waste of time clicking through maybe 50 characters to find the one best suited to be your new Chancellor...

I had the same thing happen to me I'm playing as the Principality as Zara and all of a sudden I seem to have gotten the entire court of Nubia/Sudan in my principality after they were conquered by the muslims and so vis a vis they all became muslims for whatever reason there all in my court I think this is a bug.......

I agree that there should be an "Exile" button, allowing you to get rid of unwanted courtiers, at some small Prestige and/or Piety cost (say 5 per courtrier).

Hmm, losing prestige makes more sense than losing piety(why would the church/Pope care if I exile courtier X?), although I'd prefer if it only cost you gold(gold watch and horse ticket).

actually another thing id like is to ability to send ourtiers to another ourt oF a vassal...send one oF my young sons and his new bride to another dukedom i control so he can learn from one of my loyal retainers in the rest of my empire...this way you could stock your newly appointed courts when you grant titles..or banish em to another court as exile if you dont like them
