Best way to kill your king?

[King_Stanislav]

Hello.


Well, yeah, got a loser with 3 / 8 / 3 skills and just wanted to know what's the best way to get rid of him? I tried to send him to Africa to fight some bushmen but he didn't die, as soon as the infantry unit was defeated he just switched back to the general's pool as a free commander (which is pretty strange you know, how do you just "warp" from west Africa back to France).

So, any better advice?

keeping him fighting gives a much higher chance of him dying each month so just keep on doing it. Expect a stab hit though.

If you are at war, put him in command of one regiment and send him towards a massive enemy stack. Being outnumbered 10-1 will ensure a quick death. Fighting natives wont do it as they have tech 0.

I pray for 3/8/3 kings...

Anyway, just setting him as a general seems to make him die faster.

3/8/3 is a great king, be happy.

Btw. To kill him quick assault a fortress or get him in a long evenly matched battle. Ironically generals and kings almost always survive suicide battles. (They have a percentage chance of dying every day and it is higher when in battle and even higher when assaulting).

One of my first games I got Octavian I

9/8/9 " Blessed by god "

I killed him in five years as a general but boy he was badass : )

when i was playing as Castile i had a 9/9/9 Queen and she managed to vassalise and annnex Aragon really quickly, when she died i had a 9/8/7 king who i sent into battle as the head of a massive army against the French, the battle lasted like 3 months and 1 General and my King were killed. after that i did't have a single monarch with stats over 7. the point is, keep your king, they might always come in useful (apart from 3/3/3) and anyway you could get a regency council and believe me i would prefer a 3/8/3 king

Wouldn't dare to put such a good king in an army. Eventual tactical victories will be offset by the strategic advantages given by longer expected lifespan.

Killing your king is gamey. But, you could send him on a Cog to the furthest sea province you know of.

You could also pray that you capital is controlled by rebels and wait for your goverment to colapse.

This doesn't work, neither does sending your king off against overwhelming odds and getting his army completely destroyed.

I went through 7 kings with all 3 stats 5 or higher in 6 years (I went through all 7 in six years combined, not they only lasted 6 years each...) in my latest game, then got a 3/3/4 king who lasted for 40. He went to the bottom of the sea, or had his army destroyed a good 30 times. Damn bastard was immortal.

Noobish question, how do you get a leader with 9s? I thought 8 was as high as it goes.

It can happen, just quite rare. I think I have gotten one once, and only 1 stat was 9.

An 8 attribute is a "loser"? You kids are so spoiled nowadays.

I had an 8/8/8 'blessed by God' monarch, followed by a 3/4/4, then a 4/8/3. You know what? I just work with what I'm given. And do well with it.

I just came out of a PU where the leader was an 8/9/9. Made me feel bad that I was sending so many insults!

Best way is to press Alt+21 and type "event 6608".
