I was glossing over the extra special not "really very holy" aspect of also killing a family member in that wee spree ...
When you claim that you only whacked one family member, you may not be terribly innocent.

Hey now, I only whacked one family member.
Maybe the devs need to add mechanics where you lose titles if you do certain things - lose too much piety, and you lose Holy, for example.

but yes some sort of trait loss would be neat, so if you get the title 'the fat' then a serious programme of wars in mountain provinces should slim you down
If someone is dumb enough to announce a revolt whilst leading one of your armies, killing them off is both patient and Holy - wholly justified. It just wouldn't do to have your army basted by boiling oil in a previously arranged ambush.Family members should know better than to try to kill each other off. Have they become ... insert your own family favourite for trying to kill each other ... or are they members of a Paragon of Virtue's family?
But innocence and holiness are very different things, surely
Wow, plot power of 1000%? Good lord! I don't know if I've ever seen that. He really must have majorly pissed of the spymaster. Perhaps he slept with his daughter, or his dog.
Nice AAR. Shows off some tricks I haven't seen yet.
How is that crusade for Malta going? Any chance of Parma going after that some time soon?
Murdering enemy nobles (and unruly family members!) is an Italian tradition!
But we don't know that dead relative's life!!! Maybe he was the devil incarnate! The church knows this type of thing... they had a vision that if they hadn't died millions... no trillions would have perished (or so they will state, for a price). Truly are we not holier than even Holy by being willing to sacrifice one of our own clan for the greater good?!? THE GREATER GOOD!
Just found this and read through this evening - lovely stuff
This is great! Subscribed!
That's quite the Italian Reconquista. I wonder how Aragon feels about you coming in and messing with Spanish territory.

They are one and the same.
More great updates. Is Galicia a titular Kingdom or a fifth de jure Kingdom in Spain? Good luck with that when you get it, every Duke fancies himself a King. The -25 hit is not overwhelming, but some will desire two Kingdoms if you're not careful or unlucky. It should be fun, everybody and his brother is at least halfway to ambitious.
The Emir is just because he decapitates all his kin-members equally.
They are one and the same.
Well, I've finally caught up with this great story.
I believe Galicia is Titular. As is Navarra. Can't be usurped.
Some people do indeed need to be killed. Large dynasties soon beome far smaller if they indulge in wholesale assassination.It wouldappear that Oberto's family are one big bunch of inrates. Try to remember to take all of Sicily next time -first.
Ah, Iberia! The early game stomping ground! I love it! nothing better than starting with a seaside western realm and being strong enough to go over there and take land back for Christianity! My preferred method is to wait for one war to be over where the Muslims claim land and then declare war to take it right back before they convert to Islam! It's like Christmas in July! All those provinces with no wait for claims to be fabricated, invited to court or born, more money in just 5 years and all those troops without the 'wrong religion' 20+ yr penalty! (I'm probably wrong about the year count, so don't quote me and expect to be right)
