Currently running a campaign where I've executed ALL the starting lords and eliminated all the kingdoms except S-Empire. The working theory is that when all the lords are dead, my kingdom (1 city, 1 castle) can inherit most of the towns without sieging and preserve the garrison armies (security), food stores and prosperity. Two things emerged from this: 1) Without AI lords culling, bandits have overrun the land in dense swarms choking merchant and villager trade. 2) Incessant rebellions create new crops of hedge lords and I left these hoping they would tamp down on the bandits in their local area. However, when I captured the last empress one of these rebellion factions joined the S empire and inherited its lands when she was executed. This repeated every single time I execute the last emperor a new rebel clan would join an inherit the map. So my question is this: Is it possible to inherit the continent? Has anyone successfully executed all the lords and conquered the map? Is the rebellion joining to keep the empire alive mechanic hard coded to prevent this kind of inheritance conquest?
I will attempt to imprison rather than execute this last rebel faction and then execute all the other rebel factions (they fold back into the empire when the 4 rebels are beheaded) and then execute the emperor when there are no rebels left but this is akin to building with sand... the rebellions happen faster then they can be executed.
