I hate my heir

[Thrake]

I use to live with bad heirs. But... This one. I hate him. With -2 power points, 0/1/1 means 1/2/2 points per month. I need to get that 1st idea group asap. So... How do I do? I've got no knife to stab him. No poison bottle. No "hey kiddie, let's go and clean that roof!". No game hunting. I think appointing as general helps. Do actually fighting helps even more? I once had a death after a fight, but I could not tell if it was related, or just bad luck.

Make him a general. Then either use him in a war with a single infantry regiment or send said infantry regiment to suppress some rebels if you don't want a war. He will get killed.

 

[Dakilla TM]

Make him a general when he's 16, or pray that one of those heir killing events happen.

Find the harshest terrain (ideally mountains) in your nation, either through war or revolt, get an enemy stack there.

Depending on tech/whatnot, either send a smaller or bigger stack to it, but make sure that the battle will last a long, long time.

A longer battle means a higher chance of your precious heir dying.

I hope it was that easy. I once made him chase natives for more than 10 years. He won at times, lost at times. Fought always. But did not die! Why didin't he want to sue a glorious end on the field, ran and brought shame on his house? At some point, I got bore, thought it wouldn't work and let him at home. So... Is there really a small chance?

Edit:

Oh, yes... SO precious. I sometimes have a fainted smile when I click on "do not pay the physician" button. Hey, he'll even get some legitimacy if he survives!

Make him a general and put him to lead a regiment. Then try to get him into as many battles as possible, though that might just drain your manpower instead.

Why would you waste your precious men? Use mercenary companies.

General rule of thump: anything below 2/2/2 will live at least 60 years, anything at or above 4/4/4 will die at 20 or after being inaugurated for 5 years. ;-)

It's tough luck. It's a shame that only Horde Nations can regularly kill their heirs.

Of course! Didn't you know - there's something special about imbecile heirs genetic!

That's not true. 4/4/4's always hire expensive and useless medical supervision while still heirs.

I don't know for sure if this works, but you couldn't you make him lead an army, move that army onto a transport, and sail it off into the deep Atlantic? The attrition should guarantee death.

As other have said make him a general and let him loose on the world with a 1 stack to "seek his fortune" hehe
On another topic I HATE female heirs.

 

[unmerged(65679)]

Let's take a moment to pity the poor heir that always befalls the Spanish with dumbass starts and lives forever.

.... get a haircut?

1. making him a general
2. assigning him to an army

definitely makes him more likely to die. I don't think battles kill heir-generals as their death chance is determined by random roll that is enlarged by doing 1 and 2.

Henry VI takes the cake for worst ruler. He also can't get it up to produce an heir and is immortal and never dies.

 

[unmerged(65679)]

Henry VI is me drunk as a skunk.

Curious about this too. It should work, right?

 

[lordelenath]

Nope, it doesn't - that would be a bit too easy, don't you think?
