No recourse for murderous courtiers
Please offer some rational way of getting rid of schizophrenic kinslaying courtiers. My diocese bishop went mad, and murdered my son, getting the "kinslayer" trait. Figuring that this was a bad idea, I assassinated him (since you cannot execute courtiers by any other means). Unfortunately, that gave ME the kinslayer trait. So far as I can see the only way of getting rid of a schizophrenic kinslayer without risking getting "kinslayer" myself is to grant him a title somewhere else... which seems a mite odd.
The simplest way I can think of is to allow a choice in the event to "execute him" or "exile him" - getting rid of the courtier at the same time you lose the murder target.
However, given the CK engine that might cause the murder victim to be different depending on what you penalized the murderer with...
A more rational fix would be to offer an event to deal with any courtier with the "kinslayer" trait who isn't you. Frankly similar event choices to deal with maniacs might make a certain amount of sense as well, like:
"Let the priests exorcise the evil spirits!"
25% chance of death, 25% losing the "crazed" trait, 50% getting "zealous" trait, -2 health. Maybe 25% monarch gets the "zealous" trait as well.
Also, the "build the tower of babylon" event should require that the character be a monarch, at the very least. Too often I get maniacal 11 year old courtiers spending insane amounts of gold they don't have.
