Assassination exploit

[Wezqu]

You can pause the game and send assassins against a person during that time as many times you have money to pay them. I think there should be some cooldown of trying to assassinate the same character as now its quite an exploit to people who like to use it. I don't use it myself but just wanted to report this as its quite an exploit as the person you are assassinating can't anyway retaliate as you have the game on pause.

Not classified as an exploit. Or are you speaking of multiplayer mainly?

Well I'm just saying that its quite easy to just spam assassins even in single player to kill someone to get out of bad situation. It should be limited someway that you can't just spam the assassins as in the end you will manage to kill the guy and some small relation penalties of being discovered many times don't effect you much.

Assassin spam is a really easy way to get out of a bad situation or advance yourself. You can as long as you save up some gold pause the game and completely wipe a dynasty off the map without them having any chance of retaliation. Best fix I can think of is for it to ether have say a one month cooldown or a delay between sending the assassin and the actual assassination attempt.

Agree. Assassin spam is a bad thing. And some of the reports in the forum with marry/assassinate your way to glory seem to indicate this as well. Perhaps penalties should be greater to keep players from risking it...and definitely not as many attempts.

Removing the reward of assassinating your wife would be a good start or making it so that you can only get the plot if you are negative opinion with your wife. Its stupid that you get +1 intrigue of killing your wife with the plot that you usually need just one person more to initiative.
