Random Death Balancing

[FietsPomp]

With the last two DLCs I have noticed a trend towards a higher chance of dying from various events.
While I think random death is an important feature in a game of inheritance, it seems that the dial has been turned up a bit too high.

The last 4 games ive played all had problems with random deaths.

1. Played as venice. Started out with 3 adult men, they all died within ~10 years, leaving me with one 5 year old boy.
2. Restarted my venice game, and all but one of my adult men died.
3. Played multiplayer game. Fellow player died 5 years in and was childless.
4. We restarted and within two years my ruler died and I had a regency for 10 years. Then my new ruler dies and I was in another regency for 5 years. I was bored.

Im currently playing another remake with venice, and family members are again randomly dying left and right. Now I understand that it is likely im just having a bad luck streak. But at some point I feel it might be a balance issue.

I also play just a few games since TRD and here are my rulers ages and death reasons:
First game:
54 died of Cancer
49 died clutching at his heart
56 died in battle
62 died of natural death
46 died in battle
52 suicide

Second game:
59 died of stress
58 still allive
Stopped playing

Third game:
62 died of Great Pox
83! died of natural death
still playing

So I cannot complain, really. My rulers reached high ages and just sometime I have an regency. Definitely much more then before TRD but I like it this way. Before TRD I had no problem at all steaing alive.
But this is of course just my subjective observations.

Yea we both have subjective observations ofcourse. Its hard to measure this, and if they are all older then 40 or 50, it dosnt really matter that much.
For me, they were pretty young.

I have to add, that I did not mentioned some restarts because of early death, but I did those restarts before TRD for lesser reasons (loosing the first battle, get shitty random traits, ... ). I am used to restart a game a couple of times before I really get into it.
