Ruler/Heir generals have double the chance of dieing?

[gajop]

Is it true that rulers/heirs have double the chance of dieing per month, because the game supposedly rolls once for both a ruler death check and a general death check?
PS: This has nothing to do with having rulers/heirs leading armies, it's just by them being turned into a general.

Ruler/Heir die earlier simply by being made generals. There is a topic by TheBloke around here where he got developer conformation for that. But I can't remember if the explicit reason why that happens was stated.

Rulers have a certain chance of dying, generals have a certain chance of dying. Rulers who are generals have both. Don't know if it's monthly though.

We also certainly don't know if it's double, only that both are checked independently and for rulers that are generals, both are checked.
