This is something I've been wondering too. Presumably, though, the Kingsmooth would happen at the death of every King until the leader of the Iron Isles is no longer a King, ie is instead a Lord Paramount.
@ Velg --
I think you're missing the distinction in my phrase "notable disease" and desire to reduce plagues, not illness overall.

Gyles Rosby has a regular illness as far as we know. Davos has and survives a regular illness. Robert Arryn is practically a victim of child abuse. The rate of characters "Died of illness" is not the problem -- it's the rate of important characters dying of specific waves of specific diseases.
Agreed. I started a game during Robert's Rebellion and it ended with Stannis on the Iron Throne cause Robert died in battle with Aerys the mad (hilarious by the way). Once the war was over, only the crownlands and the stormlands were part of the iron throne, everyone else was independent. It might be a problem with the usual event firing ala "and there was peace again", which i had not fire for me at all. Might be worth looking into in case thats broken.
I haven't played this for a while, so I might be missing something here, but in a game I had all kinds of weird stuff happened.
This release seems very buggy, which is fine, you guys are making this in your spare time. For example, when the High Septon died, he was succeeded by a women ! Also, and this isn't really a bug, but the title of Essos (or Pentos, I'm not sure. The one with Illyrio) is in all CAPS. It says CITYSOMETHING Illyrio I of Essos.
I also had people arrive at my court and die instantly, but I read somewhere this is intentional.

Is dragonfire turning holdings into ruins working properly? I tried using dragons in seiges to experiment and it behaved exactly like it did originally.
I dunno if this is a bug. It was in previous versions. From what I saw women can become High Septon BUT they will be replaced by event, it's like elections take some time and someone must hold it in CK2 (I think).
Yeah I think it gives the king on the Iron throne time to select his own high septon (via the personal interaction menu)
Well... Presumably you could do, if the person you've defeated in battle had one?
Yes, at least in a duel event I think. I have won a generic valyrian sword in a duel while on a reaving, so at least there is a chance for random essos characters to have them during the ironborn event chain. And you can certainly win named swords in combat with their owners & via sieges.
Also RE: Plagues, I think it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be, since as soon as you start playing characters will die at different times then the book, but it's still super depressing to finally defeat Robert's Rebellion as Rhaegar only to find the Sword of Morning has died of the bloody flux. :sad:
The problem is not a couple people dying, it's rather half of them, like the stillbirths from a previous release.
I really just want to see it happen once, but no matter what i do i can't make the Iron Islands elective anymore >.>
I can't create a faction, and then alternatively, there is always someone somewhere ticked off at me. It's like, "hello, i'm trying to bring you the ability to elect your leader, people! sheesh."
fools they do not have kingmoot at every leader death it has not been seen for thousands of years since the last kingsmoot where someone murdered everyone there and declared himself king.
Except there is a precedence for it. The Kingsmoot is a historical fact, you could even argue that after Aegon burned Harren the Black and all his sons and the ironborn "elected" the Greyjoy to be Lords Paramount was such a event. The most recent being after the death of Balon, so it should be a viable option to switch them to elective, especially so if they are independent.
i was just replying to the people who said that they thought it happened everytime the ironborn leader died.
I actually specified king. Considering the Iron Isles have been ruled under Lord Paramountcy for three-hundred years, instead of a monarchy, I was only having a stab in the dark.
And ya know, i was talking about the first scenario. The Bleeding years. I seldom play the ironborn in any other one... except maybe ACOK.
