New plot ideas

[Martinus]

This is a relatively small request, which should be relatively easy to implement - plots related to imprisonment:

1. Kidnap plot. Could be started by any ruler and target anyone who cannot be normally imprisoned by that ruler. If the plot succeeds, the target becomes a prisoner of the originator (could be a great way to win wars and get people you cannot normally imprison to stop plotting your demise).

2. Release plot. The opposite of a kidnap plot - freeing the target from imprisonment by another party.

3. Petition to release plot. Ask/pressure your liege to force a fellow vassal to release someone they hold in prison.

4. Arrest plot. Ask/pressure your liege to imprison someone he has power to imprison.

Plots 1 and 2 could work similar to the current assassination plots, with events triggering based on the strength of the plot etc. and have an "adventure" feel to it.

Plots 3 and 4 would work similar to "revoke title" and "see title X granted to new ruler" plots, so they can only target vassals of the same liege as yours and represent "working within the legal system".

Thoughts?

P.S. There could also be plots to put Heretics, Excommunicated Characters and Kinslayers on trial.

I like the first one, but there has to be a big negative opinion modifier at the end for kidnapping someone. It is not like it will remain a secret when they turn up in "your" dungeon...

"Sorry, I really have no idea how your son ended up their Emperor!"...


I like the second one too... "X has escaped you dungeon, we suspect they had help!"

For the third I think that would work better as a Faction thing... "Me and all my mates say release X or else!" Not allowed for Traitors that have not been punished yet (i.e. to counter the old chestnut of pushing a vassal to revolt because you want to "redistribute" his lands, winning, revoking and leaving him in prison to avoid him trying to get his lands back from whom every you gave them too) or for the excommunicated or Heretics...
