Faction Destruction?

[Julio-Claudian]

What are the conditions for a faction to cease to exist? I'm sure in the past I've seen kingdoms destroyed and the former ruling clan join another faction but in my current playthrough I can't get rid of em. Was it a mod allowing kingdom destruction?

edit: I think it was a mod, so is this just not part of the game?

There is no clan in the kingdom if the kingdom after losing all clans still has fies anither faction will gain the fiefs.

The requirements for a faction to be destroyed are: no clans

Kingdoms will generally only be destroyed if you opposed them via siding with Empire or Non-Empire.

Otherwise:
1) No fiefs
2) No other clans in Kingdom
3) All adult members of ruling are dead

So you essentially need to either punish them enough all other clans defect, and then kill all ruling clan members in battle or execution. It's not efficient at all and will destroy relations most likely. Hopefully future patches alleviate this by having them simply disband once they lose enough territory or members. Then maybe rebellions or civil wars could implement new Kingdoms over time.

I think its fair that you have to hunt them down and kill in battle / execute.

Pretty easy to do IMO.
Good to know how to get rid of beaten kingdoms. More concerned with whittling down big kingdoms tho

Thanks. So if I execute the entire ruling clan the faction will be destroyed?

Depends if it has any other clans

I got a message while playing a few days ago something along the lines of: "Steppe Bandit Hero has died of old age. Stepee bandit Faction has been destroyed." I was playing as a Vlandian vassal and in the middle of a war so didn't ride over to khuzait lands to check it out, but it seems minor factions can randomly die off? Does this mean over time, nothing but looters will be left running around as each bandit type loses their hero?

This is a a bug for sure. Steppe Bandits are perhaps the most numerous of all bandit clans so I can assure you they are not being wiped off. At any given time, they probably have at least 5 hideouts so not sure where this is coming from.

But you raise a really interesting idea of bandit clans have leaders and heroes
