Well, there are no edicts forbidding the taking out of nobility and political targets, only those promoting it not passing, unless that is the same according to the game rules.

It does matter because even though Dietrich might be older, if he the new heir dies, then his oldest adopted son becomes heir. Either way, the royal line would forever move away from Swabia.

Well, if permission is specifically asked for something and it is denied, then I believe it is essentially the same thing as it being forbidden. It probably would have been better if Mandorf not brought up the issue at all, even though he spoke out against the edicts. If anyone wants it changed then they're going to have to wait until the next Diet session.

Whoa. . .econ that's a major character shift.

I feel horrible. Suddenly I am no longer about to become Duke of Swabia or the Prinz. And what's more, Sigismund didn't have a glorious death on the battlefield.

Who assassinated him? That faction ought to be wiped out as an example.

It's a bummer - sorry about that, Ignoramus.

No need to make a quick decision, but at some stage, you should give some thought to your next incarnation. You could stay in the House of Swabia as the 6th Elector or you could try something different, signing up for another House.

I need to sleep, but this PBM is proving eventful.

I know, I saw the Mausoleum thread, and I though Heinrich had kicked the bucket and now I'd be Prinz.

Instead, I find that my character's been assassinated.

I had an idea. Couldn't I take command of the captain leading Sigismund's army? I know this is against the constitution, but if you or GH could call an emergency Diet, as having a Count being assassinated isn't an everyday occurance, we could pass an ammendment.

Sorry Ignoramus, look at it from an RP perspective. The army just lost their gallant commander to a nasty assassin. They wouldn't be too keen to fight without nobility leading them on. Personally, I believe the result of an autoresolve would be the most accurate in this situation.
