Short summary of your issue
Prisoner becomes rival of new king despite being imprisoned by old king

1.7

No

Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
6

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Playing as King A, I imprison a character (let's call him PRISONER). Ten years pass, King A dies, and his son, King B, takes the throne. King B takes stock of his prison, and being more Generous and Honest than King A, decides to release some unimportant prisoners. PRISONER was imprisoned by King A for a decade, and by King B for a few days, before being released without condition.

PRISONER decides that King B is his new rival, because he "Languished in King B's prison". But this is obviously not what happened.

The trouble is that the game apparently checks the total length of prison stay, and assigns it all to the current ruler. We have memories now which can determine when the character was imprisoned and by whom. The rivalry system should check and see who was responsible for the prisoner, and not assume it was the person who happened to release them.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Imprison a character, wait for your ruler to die, and then have your successor release the imprisoned character.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I have attached a save game after the rivalry was formed, and a screenshot showing the chronology of events.

I have attached a save game
Yes

Maybe as Designed: because of this Change at V1.7 Patch:
- The rivalry set by stress_threshold_prison.1031 is now applied when let out of prison for the AI, to avoid having a steady source of rivals to execute for stress loss for the player

I understand both (pre and after Patch). and both are not good:
  • you should not gain free rivalry (at this i agree PDX)
  • you should not gain a rivalry because you release a Prisoner that you don't capture (at this i agree @Tiax )
i would say rivalry should only set if at Prison under current Ruler for more than 2 Years

or made an form of "hated" that is a step before rival (one-sided possible) that "can" turn into rivalry (at release for example)
