Vengeance War

[General Karthos]

We all know about the "Sons of Lodbrok" event that rarely triggers. Why not allow that to trigger for other people. Say your ruler is captured in combat, and then executed. His living heirs (sons, grandsons, whoever) should have lifetime Causus Belli against the ruler who executed him as a "Vengeance War". This would allow capture of territory, capture and execution of the ruler who did the executing, etc.

This might discourage tiny nations from executing my Emperor when he is randomly captured in battle...

I think that it should be able only for pagans, perhaps pagans and muslims.

Perhaps other religions would instead take a county and/or execute the ruler who killed your father/mother.



Also, perhaps a less powerful version of this should be available if one of your children, siblings or spouse is executed or assassinated.

Perhaps the war would be called (Victim's) War? It should be available in the case of "unjust" killings, so assassinations and executions without just cause. Maybe organized religions with a head should have to launch a petition first?

I like the original idea, and I like the suggestion that you need to petition your religious head for balancing purpose. The outcome of the Cassus Belli can also be customized according to religion/culture. For instance (don't take it litterally, just to illustrate), Norse would take the whole realm, Muslims would take just one county, and Hindu would only execute the murderer.

The game doesn´t keep track of offenses. You usually only gain an opinion modifier "murdered close kin". The game doesnt differentiate someone who did something terrible against you and someone you dislike.

If you want this sort of thing, you need a offense opinion bar (beyond the normal opinion bar) to keep track of these things.

Yeah, like the "blood feud" in AGoT mod, there was this one time where my second son was knowgly killed by a independent count, and I couldn't do anything about it rather than try to assasinate him. Everyone in my realm loves me and my family, we were all touched by this cruel murder but we couldn't go and storm his castle and bring justice to this count. I understand that in could be imbalanced but at least something! Like when Ned Stark is captured and Robb calls his bannermen to rescue him, something like that would be nice. Casus Belli cause of blood feud and to rescue hostages.
