Immurement: Bricked In Alive

[Martinus]

Exactly what I was thinking. When you click the Execute button, the character dies regardless. In the immurement case, would that not just be a differently named version of the oubliette option when you have someone captive?

Precisely.

It would make a good addition to a theocracy dlc.

Ok, now I'm interested - why would that be?

EDIT: Except if you're talking about religious recluses, which do involve being bricked in, but not as a form of capital punishment (they were fed and tended for). Those were more about living in seclusion as hermits, and even some famous people lived some years like this (Symeon of Trier, or Hildegard of Bingen). A more literary example would be the female hermit (Spoiler: Esmeralda's mother) in Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris".

I am thing along the lines of a medieval Inquisition for starters. Persecuting Cathars, Waldensians, and other suspected apostates. The local bishops and the Dominican Order were know to institute such inquisitions. There was also persecutions against non-christens in Europe.

OK people, this is starting to sound... worrisome. I'm all for historical accuracy (and all for allowing westerners to blind their prisoners), but we're approaching snuff territory here.

This game totally needs execution methods. When executing a prisoner, for example, you would be presented with several options as how to do it. Beheading, hanging, burned-at-stake, Catherine's wheel, etc.

Instead of just giving another form of execution I think it would be good for Paradox to explore more alternative punishments the way they did with castration and blinding in Legacy of Rome.

There must have been more regional/cultural punishments out there during this period.

In our defense, the punishments suggested are a propos to the rulers and time periods we are playing.

Any sort of punishment pop-up doesn't need to go into all the ghoulish detail, but some different types (even if they ultimately accomplish the same thing) does flesh out the RPG side of things.
