Your assassination stories...

[ChaosLord]

While playing as Bohemia in the XL mod I found alot of time building up because I kept ending up with two neighbors(usually on opposite sides) not being allied to me so I had to keep up a good defense. To keep myself occupied I started building Assassins and sending them out to meddle in world politics. As of 1306(started in early) here is a list of everyone i've Assassinated as best I can remember.

3 Hungarian Kings(in a row, then the fourth one just wouldn't die)
1 Grand Lithuanian Duke
1 Danish King
1 Danish Prince
2 Mongol Khans
1 Mongol Prince
4 or 5 Mongol Generals
3 or 4 Princesses
3 or 4 Inquistors
At least 10 Emmisaries

Of all these, the Lithuanians was probably the funniest. They re-emerged in rebel held Prussia and then once they take the province my Assassin pops in and kills him. I nearly wiped out the Hungarians through my many assassinations, but two times they had a 16 year old heir take the throne. So I couldn't cause them to collapse, but they gradually lost power and got attacked by the Byzantines or Spanish which allowed me to move in anyway.

The Danish I did manage to wipe out, though it was a delayed effect thing. I assasinated their King once they re-emerged but they already had heirs(old heir), so then I took out their youngest prince. The old king died, then the other one followed about five years later. The annoying thing was they had married a Venetian Princess, so all the Danish lands went to them ruining my hope for peaceful expansion.

As for the Mongols, they shared a border with me after wiping out the Cumans and Lithuanians so I tried to send them into civil war or rebellion. Sadly, it didn't work. I almost killed their Khan when they had no heirs, but they kept failing and the guy ended up with the Invulnerable v&v. Despite my various failures i'd like to think Bohemian assassins are known(and feared!) around Europe in my game. :)


So yeah, i've been keeping myself quite amused with Assassins and wonder if anyone else has similar stores to tell.
