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

Phew, I got a lucky roll. Death after 5 years rulling (and bravely leading armies). 4/4/4 regency council, and 6/3/4 heir coming. Thanks for tips.
Making your heir a general? Really Paradox? That's the best way to do it? Well, thanks for the arbitrary game mechanics.
Oh and I want to name my heir. Wait I can't do that? Yeah, fantastic. Then again I guess that's what happens when you invent a random thing called "Monarch Points" and make them so vital that having a crappy Monarch will severely retard the growth of your realm.

It's flavor ;-) I don't mind or. Having said that have lucky nations had their uber god monarchs nerfed? I don't see them with god level monarchs much
Lucky nations aren't guaranteed to have good monarchs. They simply get a +1 on all the stats as far as I know, so it's more likely they'll have good ones. Overall it simply means they'll generate 1 MP / category more per month for the whole time line.
reminds how i finally got elected Emperor and suddenly, my heir was female.... So long for the HRE *sob*
Guess it could be implemented an event to give you a better heir from time to time.
-can only fire if your current monarch is equal or more than 10 (so he's quick enough to understand his heir is crap)
-two options: keep the current one (alas!) or replace him with his better cousin/brother/etc for stab hits, lower prestige and bad legitimacy for the new one.
CKII powaaaa!

Use a mod that:
a) Removes the power penalty from all tech groups
AND/OR
b) Allows you to improve/re-roll the stats of your ruler/heir

I had a 6/6/5 empress that lived for about 70 years. Her heirs though....
0.0 That regency though...
Because several people have brought it up, I just want to emphasize that suiciding a stack led by the king will NOT increase the chances of him dying.
Death of monarchs and heirs is random. Generals (whether monarchs, heirs, or randomly created ones) have a random check periodically to see if they survive that period. A general leading the army has another, additional check. Participating in battle will be yet another additional check. If he rolls snake-eyes (figuratively) on any of those checks he dies. So, the best way is not to suicide him in a tiny stack, but to have him constantly leading armies, and participating in prolonged battles. Sending him in a suicide stack is not only a waste of men, but actually less effective at killing him (since after the battle, he is now unattached to an army).

Ah, Enrique the Useless. Bless his heart. The Heir Who Would Not Die! (Every time I've played Castille, he's always inherited. Grr.)
Thanks a lot for the extra details. Esp. for the check for leading armies; I was doing it intuitively, but I was unsure whether it would help (to save good rulers, or not save the unlucky ones...).
