Violently remove council powers?

[Teonod]

Due to ignorance of the council mechanics from my part I have been forced to give the council far too much power for my liking. Now I wonder, do I have to work lawfully and dismantle the council power on its' terms? Or could I in any way forcefully remove the power that it holds? I wouldn't mind tyranny or civil war in order to do it.

Pretty sure there is no way to do it forcefully. You can, however, replace the council with lowborn sycophants before every vote.

Too bad. It would be awesome to implement option to remove council powers in an absolutistic way. With some nice high probabilty of revolt and civil war.

Well if you fire/imprison your strongest council members you'll get the same result.

No you won't.

If I have no one on the council, will I be the only one to vote?

Empty seats count as no IIRC.

It will count as you having members, but them not voting. So no, you cannot pass laws by simply not having a council.
