Spymaster hates himself

[K-vald]

I believe it works in the way that it's not really the Spymaster who does the assassinations. He is just an "officer" who commands other subordinate assassins to perform the deeds.

Nevertheless it's strange that he would command a subordinate to kill him.

A save game of this issue would be good, if one is available. Just to check if there is indeed another person in the game who goes under the same name, as londoner247 is saying.

I have forwarded the issue to our internal forums nonetheless. It's an interesting problem and I would consider the probability where there would be another person in the realm with the exact same name and who's plotting in that manner would be extremely low.

But who knows?

I have definitely seen people with the same name in my games (although don't have a screenshot to prove it at the moment). The message windows only use the title and first name rather than the dynasty name (if I remember correctly) so if you have two vassals of equal rank from different families in the same culture group then it is quite possible for them to have the same name.

Yes, I'm aware of this. But then one of these would have to actually be plotting against you as well. But I agree, there is a chance. Maybe we can find something wrong with it, and if not, then it should be working and there was a case of similar names.
