A writer recently utilized Crusader Kings 3 to explore methods for removing an elderly, senile leader from power. By creating an 80-year-old ruler named Wenzel with the 'lunatic' trait, the author attempted to navigate the complexities of the Holy Roman Empire's political structure to force a change in leadership.
The simulation involved two primary strategies: diplomatic maneuvering and military conflict. The author initially attempted to gain favor through flattery and gifts to become the ruler's heir or co-ruler. When diplomacy failed to secure support for a transition, the author shifted focus toward organizing military alliances to challenge the leader's authority.
The experiment faced significant mechanical hurdles, including a devastating plague known as 'Wenzel's Cough' that decimated the author's family and subjects. Furthermore, the author noted that relying on powerful AI vassals, such as a Tuscan duchess, proved unreliable, as their independent actions often led to counterproductive outcomes like failed wars of independence.
Ultimately, the author concluded that the simulation failed to provide a clear path for removing the leader. Despite the ruler suffering from multiple ailments and plagues, he remained in power while the author's character succumbed to illness. The experience highlighted the difficulty of relying on political allies or convenient timing during periods of instability.
