Where did the logic go?

My heir a nephew of mine with great stats had me kidnapped. Okay I guess he plans on killing me or leaving me in the oubliette until I die so he can be crowned king. That makes sense the crafty ambitious bastard. But no instead he instantly has me castrated. Now I'm lacking balls and angry. Though in the world of ck2 kidnapping the king and cutting off his balls is fine and not a reason for imprisonment.

I had him excommunicated and I am currently working my way through his kids having them assassinated but this is just ridiculous.

He just wanted to make sure that you wouldnt pop out a son who would displace him in succession order. LOL

I wish it wasn't revealed who was kidnapping you. It would make more sense and make it much more interesting.

Already had 2 sons and about 6 daughters. It was elective with only 2 votes.

The AI (mis)uses the Intrigue focus about as badly as the Seduction focus, and it has always been incredibly stupid with castration and blinding (just look at the ERE doing that to everyone after a faction war and then acting surprised when they rebel again).

Out of the window.

The AI probably shouldn't have access to the same foci as the player. A set of AI-only options that influence a characters overall behavior would make much more sense.

I personally feel that the AI should play by the same rules as the player. However, you could add a lot more AI reasoning to foci interactions and change some truly annoying ones (vassals spying on and kidnapping their liege should not happen unless they dislike their liege and/or stand to gain from it).

The AI often do random stuff because they can, not because it's in any way smart. AI rulers with intrigue focus will just spy on someone fire any event that pops up, and if they end up kidnapping someone, just choose a random thing to do with the prisoner.

So you assume there was logic in the first place

This gave me a good hearty laugh, thank you.

Or plot to kill some random nobody who I guess accidentally made their sister trip and fall once.

Probably the same place his balls went.
BOOM!

 

[DukeDayve]

Do what I've been doing since Way of Life was released - play with mods that disallow the AI from choosing seduction or intrigue focuses. The AI has no business with those focuses. None. They just abuse them in the most ridiculous ways.

 

[Meamzed]

Well, I guess you could say someone dared him with......

NO BALLS NO BALLS

Seriously though, i find that very amusing, considering killing you would just make things boring... I wish the Ai would do stuff like this more often in myyy games

I know not of his "spheres" good sir. His "spear", on the other-hand, has moved to the closet.

 

[Robert II]

I did. All his kids and grandkids are now dead and forgotten while the kings great grandson has just declared himself emperor of Georgia.
