Do factions now have a role in assassinations?

On one proud bavarian's T&T video there is a reference to an assassination that seems to have been planned by the liberty faction. It's not clear if this is an event or if it is a new feature.


What do people think?

I think it's an event, but it's tied to actual gameplay. This faction was very weak and had no chance to achieve it's goals, but the leader of said faction was brave and reckless, so he decided to act on his own. At least that was my impression.

So it's a one man faction, but this guy has arrogant and brave traits (his nickname is literally 'the brave'). I really hope that the game takes this into consideration and event like this has a chance to fire.

There were two in the fact initially it seems. One of them betrayed the other.

Factions trying to seize power from assassinations makes sense if they really want their demands enforced. I'd like an event chain for this.

I have seen an event chain for this. On a recent Bohemian campaign, my marshal had suspicions that a faction was going to take drastic measures. There is a chance that the person telling you this won't tell you everything they know. Sure enough, two low level vassals tried to kidnap my character. Even as William the Conqueror, a faction was trying to harm me. I was able to coax the info out of William's marshal and lazy son Robert and stop the attempt. So, this is not new.

Huh. Probably what I get for playing as vassals without powerful factions in this game so far. It still sounds fascinating - as long as it isn't too common. Wouldn't want to ragequit.
