Ended up killing one of them for the heck of it, then ransoming the others. When that was all said and done, I betrothed my 12 year old daughter to the King of Scotland. Not sure what that will do but we will see. My eldest son came of age which means I cant marry him off (I forgot to set a betrothal before). Maybe Ill marry him off to an English lord and go from there. Now Im just waiting for my wife to die. Or make me more babies.

Now that I think about it, this game is kinda for psychos.

if you are going to take the relations hit with other vassals its better to banish him. then you get his lands and money. if not then just let him rot in prison and he will die eventually. so far i've never really used execution and I fail to see what purpose it serves except for roleplaying reasons

and ye, except for your own life and that of your heir, human lives are quite dispensable in the game :P

Ugh. Wife died, then son rebelled and usurped two of my provinces. I went from having six, and about to start a kingdom, to having only four. And my son is a

and still my heir.

Well, all I gotta do is hold what I have and wait to die so my eldest will combine all of us. Though I got an offer by some Italian lord to marry his daughter. So I did, and now she's pregnant. This might cause problems.

Execution is pretty handy if someone has you as his heir.

why? you can pretty much plot kill everyone.

first u need to capture someone, that already makes it quite useless. but in case u really need someone dead, and you cant get enough ppl to join ur plot and u dont have enough money or intrigue to kill him and you actually manage to capture him then ye... you might consider execution :P

there are just so many quicker ways with less relation penalty which make execution pretty useless.

i only actually execute infidels :P

Alright, so is there a way to "kill myself?" I really want my ruler to die already so his son can unite the two major Irish kingdoms and my current guy just wont die.

Go on crusade? Holy War someplace remote and send one county's levy with yourself at the front.

Theres no crusade happening, though one ended around a decade ago. I didnt participate since I was busy at home.

Actually a crusade just started. Sent myself over there 3 times already, got crushed, and yet still alive.

EDIT: Waged a war to obtain Meath, won and title went to my heir. I then promptly died. Then the Kingdom of Ireland was born! Now all I got to do is put the rest of Ireland under my control and I think then I can move onto the Game of Thrones mod.

You are their de jure (lawful) ruler so like stranger said most of them will accept vassalisation if you ask. If they don't, the unification wars will be easy. Half the trouble is forming the title in the first place.

Fire your spymaster and attempt to kill a Muslim ruler. That is what most people recommend.
