View Full Version : Why to they pick the inbreed?
Every time it come to a choice for determining who shall be the next king, the pick the freak prince... The strong military/economic genius is look over for the strange, inbreed retard who spend more time playing tiddlewinks then anythink else.
I mean the old king must be turning over in his death bed when he found out that after 50 years of compaining and building an empire it left to the freak prince and who will breed a line of retards...
I was playing as the Byrz and was enjoying a line of legendary military commanders only to be halted by the old emperor dying and the election of his retarted son. Which lead to me having to have the retartded emperor retired to a small pronvince and the assaisnated by his own subject the next year. Of course all the ultimate prince are no longer princes, and his younger slightly less retarted brother is raise as Emperor. Almost make you want to kill the game by inducing a civil war and split you empire in two by killing of the last of the retarted princes.
Although would make it more entertaining... hmm it would be great is this game had a system where bigger and bigger empires became nearly impossible to control. Any super powers that formed would eventually be destroyed by a civil war...

As some historian said...

ture....
but not in my empire http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
I think i take to assaisnating my own princes to ensure that retarted prince are removed... Or maybe i send them to destroy the egyptian single handling....

Yeah but I once tried to bump off my inbred English King by having him invade Lithuania single handedly... what happened was that for three consecutive years he beat off rebellions consisting of Hundreds of men (literally)
His valour went sky high (Must have been all those Killing vices he had)
I should have used an inquisitor on him instead...
The best way to deal this, I have found, is to simply send these retarded princes off to their deaths before they get the chance to claim the throne. If I have three princes, and two suck and one is good, I don't care if hes third in one for the throne, I'm going to send the other princes off to their deaths to make way for the good prince. The problem I have found with this strategy is there isn't always a rebel province to send your bad princes to, and sometimes you don't want to start a war with your neighbor just to get rid of them. Fortunately I usually have assassins on hand around when there are less rebel provinces.

Ahh, yes, but how many times have you sent your pervert prince to his certain doom, only to have him turn tail and run after his bodyguards have been slaughtered.
From this point on, he is also Not so bold. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
Perhaps the chance of a successful assassination should be considerably higher should the king and the targeted prince be in the same province, to simulate the Son, I have something to show you. All you see before you- *gestures, then plunges knife into son's back* scenario.
Or perhaps I just need coffee.

just get rid of your ships from the area, and either retreat on the battlefield, or tell him to retreat, when he has nowhere to go. he will automatically be captured/killed

I've had this happen to me as well, bloody annoying isn't it? Eventually I had to stop using autocalc and fight the battles myself to make sure the prick died.
The Inquisition, what a show ....
The only downside of killing of your prince is they often suffer from vices like pride, etc. Making them some of the strongest troop I have avaliable early in the game. I always love it when these retarded princes with to much musscle and not enough brain run over an enemy general in the first two minute charge. My current game in which ihave a scilian rearted (King a 6 star his youngest son is a 1) has a starting valour of 10. He litrally ran over the almonds in his intially charge.
Now wouldnt it be funny if the comp used this startegy how many pissed off people would there be when a worthless heir routes your whole army. Then again I had the Byzantines do this but I don't think it was to kill off there hier its just that they had good control of the sea and were using there Kataphraktoi to slaughter my garrisons

I have found that one of the better ways to cure this problem is just to try to prevent it from happening in the first place. I try to start by getting my princes married off to forigen chicks when they are young, so when they become king there is less chance for them having inbred kids. Just keep those emmisaries out trolling for chicks like the pimps that they are http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Then I get them on the front early and get them some stars so when they become king, they are worth something. Hey look, it's just like raising real kids (and I raised eight) you have to start early and teach them correct principles.

You're right MrWhipple. There is always a way to raise your princes properly. First thing all my princes have to learn is how to deal with peasant rebellions - slaughtering thousands of rebels gives them vaour, stars, and very often good virtues (expert defender, skilled last stand, field defence specialist), but also produces good money (all those confiscated lands). After my princes know how to defend, I send them to learn how to attack. When they get specialist attacker, skilled attacker, or skilled risky attacks virtue, I no longer care if they are retards or not, they are 9 star generals with a bunch of combat virtues.
