SP - General New Ways to Die

[dannazgu]

So, with the game progressing and the AI death in battle on simulations implementes... It's need to the Death Grip comes to the player.

Right now you can only die of old age, some wounds after battle and somehow getting illness (idk how)

I though would be nice for new ways to die for the player:

1. Assassination (when get too powerful or very low relations to clans)
2. Unpopular rule (maybe the same above)
3. Death in battle
4. Diseases (even young people can die of cold on medieval ages)
5. This one would be IF AND WHEN implemented, Hunting accidents

If you have more ideas, please post here... Life shouldn't be this safer on Calradia

I was honestly only aware of the last one. How do the others play out?

Instant unprepered death of MC... I´m not sure I would support that.

New ways to enter death-preparation sounds OK.

6. Sudoku ??️ in favor of your heir ? (instead of roleplaying Elizabeth 2 ?‍??)

They said they were gonna give us the option to retire the MC so the heir takes over, it looks like it needs a bit of time.

retire is not the same as death, haha
i'd prefer death for the main character instead waiting for eternity or retire

You mean diseases?

That's what I'm suggesting to happen, right now we only have old age and small chance of deep wound after battle according to devs

Suduko is not THAT boring.

The Illness you mentioned in OP. That´s the only way my MC has died.

Assassination requires a feature. It´s not something that randomly happens
Killed in Battle/Accidents etc can be interesting.

The timing is very important here. Just letting the game kill off a 40 yo 20h invested MC can easely kill the entire session.

Interesting but if they introduce some Japonese related culture, maybe a trait like depression so we can try suicide?

The only cultures I know that commited suicide was Japonese, Romans (when ordered to fall on the sword) besides them....

50. But this was quite early, last winter. Don't know how death is now.

Don't mix Suduko and Seppuko

They need to somehow keep the old you as a NPC, so they probably need to code the logic for that first? A sudoku is a much cleaner (and funnier) solution: add UI, use existing logic for MC death.
