Henry VI: awesome ruler or most awesome ruler?

He managed to reign and command my armies for over 90 years. His marvelous heir died just before he did, to be replaced by a 3/0/0 one.

I guess I'll restart again. Had to get that off my chest.

There isn't a reliable way to kill your ruler is there?

Make him a general. Rulers as a general get an extra death tick. If he is leading an army he gets another.

Wait, so just having a ruler as a general makes them die sooner? I always make my rulers generals, I never knew this...

yep. Making your ruler a general will make them die much sooner, because they get more death rolls. There are some discussions about this on Paradox, but "Your ruler more likely to die..." comes from the death rolls in the tips.

I think the chance is higher if you let them go to exploration journey in the deep sea.

I tried that. The ship sank, the army he commanded perished, and he simply teleported back to London. This ruler broke the awesome barrier.

"Chancellor, this is the third time in as many years that I've had to swim back to London from friggin' Greenland, this has got to stop."

"Nay, my liege. The Queen Mary awaits your presence at the docks."

"Fucking Magna Carta..."

I'm playing England now as well. I wasted 5 transports to kill that guy in the Barents sea. In the end he just randomly died later

I have had more luck lately inn having them killed off by making them generals and sending them on "heroic" missions.

That occurred to me, but it was very costly in manpower, money and warscore, and he kept surviving.

A real man or real woman can win the War of the roses at the same time as THYW, while subjugating Scotland and Ireland :)

Not that hard considering England strength on this patch.
