[New Plot] Kill an unruly vassal

[Magdaki]

I'm working on a new plot that would allow you to kill a vassal that hates you. The objective is to give higher lords more plots to work with.

It kind of sort of works, but not really. If I monkey around with it (removing some conditions or making slight alterations), it will sometimes show up for some lieges but then not others. I can never make it work quite the way I think it should be working. I'm kind of perplexed.

Any thoughts?

	# Target character scope
	allow = {
		AND = {
			AND = {
				# They dislike me
				NOT = { opinion = { who = FROM value = -75 } }

				# I dislike them
				OR = {
                                                                          ai = no # human
					NOT = { opinion = { who = ROOT value = -75 } }
				}
			}

		               # They are my vassal
			FROM = {
				overlord_of = ROOT
			}
		}	
}

Oooh, I like this.
I really hope you can get this to work

Any chance you could post the entire code ?

Any thoughts?

I think you forgot that you need -75 opinion on both side and as far as I know,it's pretty hard to have it both way at the same time.

Ideally, I'd like to have it show up on a vassal with a revolt risk greater than zero, but I'm not sure how to do that so this was the next best thing.

If I can get this to work, then my next goal will be to try to give a vassal a "rebel" trait when they rebel for X years and the allow you to plot against a former rebel.

The -75 on boths sides is for the AI only. He hates me and I hate him. The player should be able to plot against any vassal that hates him.

It will be a bit gamey and open to abuse by the human player but I add a lot to role-playing when I play which keeps me in check. So for me this is a role-playing tool "Oh would somebody rid me of that troublesome Archbishop?"

Where in the game files would one paste this to get the plot in game?

 

[Magdaki]

Into the objectives.txt file in the common subdirectory (or really into your own mod).

BUT... it doesn't work. I don't know why but it just fires very irregularly and sometimes doesn't even honor the criteria. I.e. a vassal with a positive opinion will show up as a possible target.

If I can get it working I'll release it and the other things I'm working on as a mod.
