My current king is 1 0 2, 20 years old, my heir is 5 5 4, 18 years old. Is there a way to kill him? Sending him on a voyage to the atlantic doesn't seem to work, and the chances of him dying in a battle are insanely low, no?
How to kill your king?

Deal with your king. Make him a general and pray he dies. Bonus: (there are more chances to die if he is fighting or leading sieges)
^this, i add only the chance are higher if the battles are longer, so it's better assign him in very large battle than send him with 1 stack army multiple time
Your ruler dying this way will cost 2 stability instead of the normal 1, though.
I think having 60 years of 5 5 4 instead of 1 0 2 is well worth that hit
Being assigned to lead an army is also more dangerous for him than simply being turned into a general.
Would suck though if your heir dies litterally the day after your ruler dies. Or even is your heir dies just before your ruler.
Just open the console and type "kill TAG", without the quotes. If you are England for example, type kill ENG.
You aren't allways meant to have 6 6 6 ruling your nation, sometimes you have to play a game with 0 0 0 after 0 0 0, but being succesful with bad kings are more rewarding then being succesful with great kings.
If your type "kill" it's enough for your own tag, if you want to kill the king of another country then you have to put their tag.
Unfortunately, tying such an important resource to literal RNG tends to be a bad mechanic in strategy games. This is one of the reasons republics are widely considered superior to monarchies.
Many people would say that Eu4 is not a pure strategy game.
Im not sure that republics are superior, even as a monarchy you can set focus and republic have to reelect once to get the stats of the average monarch.

Not sure what else it's supposed to be. Historical simulator? History didn't have nations ruled by omniscient entities for over 370 years in a row. It's basically just a wargame and empire-building strategy game.
If you had a choice between 400 years of Enrique de Trastamara and 400 years of decent-to-good rulers (not even god-rulers like Cosimo de' Medici, just 2/3/4 or the like), which would you pick? I like struggling against adversity, but there's struggling enjoyably with adversity and being forced to lag in tech because the RNG decided to give you a 0/0/1 nonentity.
has anyone tested if a general can die easier if he is stationed in a severe winter province siege? Or a tropical province?
Another way is to have -3 Stability to allow an additional event for your King to die by coup from your heir.
never thought of that, but it seems a bit harsh. But if you are used to play on -2 stab, it might be an idea.
I have a question - how do you deal with diplomats? I haven't played this after getting Res Publica as my last DLC yet, since I had exams. But I recall that this game has diplomats with names, and those names don't change from 1444 to 1821...So you have the same immortal diplomat travelling and conducting missions for three centuries, or the same priest from the great grandfather's era converting territories of the empire under the great grandson.
Did this get fixed? Or perhaps I am mistaken, and diplomats and missionaries and such were never immortal?
