Ok, I'm poor. Might be my fault because I just built a center of trade. Not entirely certain that it's really going to pay off in any sort of reasonable time even if it's the only CoT I can place a merchant in due to infamy, but oh well. Then my general died. I just spent nearly ALL my money to get a new general (Half decent at 2/2/1/1, which is my best general yet this game. Usually I end up with 4/0/0/1 or something else useless since I'm still using longbows). Now, I didn't pay real close attention to the date, but I did just secure a white peace in a war my ally dragged me into, loaded my troops up, and went home. Maybe a month after the war, my general is DEAD. Total life? Maybe 6 months or so. Is there any way to raise the average life span of a general (Legitimate gameplay wise, not altering game files or using console) I understand that sometimes, shit happens, but this is ridiculous. That being said, this game totally needs a spy option to assassinate generals. Can we get that added to the beta?

Much appreciated, that looks like useful information to have, and is making me question my sanity. One battle, half a siege, and a month or two sitting back at home and my dude is dead. Couldn't have been more than a year, but it looks like it's out of all other known data points. Either 2 years isn't a hardcoded floor and I was extremely unlucky, or my perception of in-game time is horribly horribly flawed (I *WANT* to say this is more likely, but the sheer number of negative events makes me suspect EU3 hates me >.>)
What is your infamy ?
I have noticed I get A LOT of bad events when my infamy is over the limit. About 125% and I get bad things happen every month.
That is why I am a little curious if world domination can be achieved in DW.

I have not seen any reference to a hardcoded floor. From the linked thread:
I once got an explorer who died so soon after I made him I hadn't even had the chance to click to put him on my ship.
On the flip side, in something not directly related, but similar, I once converted a province pretty much the next day after sending the missionary. Instaconvert woohoo!
Some MTTHs should be revisited as well as have mins and maxes methinks.
General longevity is something I hope is addressed in EU4. It'd be in my top 5 list of things that just aren't right about EU3.

Don't forget that generals who are commanding armies have a shorter life span. When they're not needed, don't have them commanding armies.
