Idea: Bloodline Extinction

[SpaceX]

I'm not sure if this would be possible to code, but with all the varied bloodlines in the game, it's kind of hard to keep track of which ones are multiplying or dying out. I think it could add a lot to the lore-depth of the mod to have a popup event notification (similar to the one in vanilla when the Shia appear) when the last member of a bloodline dies and there are no more characters in the game that can carry on its legacy. Lots of bloodlines in the game disappear rather quick, like the Diocletianus one for example, but in SOME games their heirs go on to dominate. I personally think it's kind of interesting if an obscured bloodline becomes very powerful, or if an extremely powerful bloodline, like the Sassanids, dies out.

Could a script be written that would check all global characters for a certain trait, and then trigger a popup when that trait is no longer present? If so, I'd volunteer to write the lore popups for the events.

Theoretically possible, I think, as death on-event event but would have to rely on a check on any_character to be really comprehensive which is not advisable for CPU...

You could probably fill global variable for a dynasty with the number of characters of a certain bloodline at the start and add/subtract one through respectively on_birth and on_death.

So no, then? It's too bad, I think this could be really cool.

It can be done, it's just that the priorities are elsewhere now. I'll add it to the list.

Awesome!
