Immortality Event in Vanilla? Is it possible to suceed?

[Ashley]

So, I was playing CKII with the Reaper's Due DLC and I got an event where an old woman named Cleopatra came to court and offered to help make me immortal. It's a very dagernous line of events that I savescummed and got to the last one, but it seems that you die no matter what on the last event. Is it possible to suceed and actually become immortal?

I'm not sure why you refer to Vanilla in your Topic Title. The event chain is a part of the Reaper's Due DLC.

It is possible to succeed and become immortal--there's even an achievement for doing so in ironman. As well as another for killing an immortal. But the chance to actually achieve immortality is a pretty low one. You can unlock different options during the event chain based on your stats--and in a few cases, your traits, which may make it easier to succeed.

I've seen someone say that it's a 1% chance, I don't know how true this is, but given that this is achieving immortality (mechanically it's just +10 health I believe), of course it's going to be pretty rare and difficult.

Yea it is possible to succeed.

It must suck to play an immortal female, since you can't have any kids after 45...

Is that +10 modifier enough to make you genuinely immune to dying from anything besides illness, injury, and combat? If so, it would be nice if it prevented your character from visually aging as well.

[Rowley]

I have no idea, honestly. It is probably still statistically possible to die with that much health. My understanding is, every so often (maybe month) there is a MTTH to die based on your current health stat. Which is why you get things such as a "natural" death at 16 for someone who isn't sick, wounded, infirm, etc.

[Visi]

Yeah I've heard that before, I'm just wondering if having at least x amount of health makes you immortal in the manner I mentioned. You can easily mod in an immortality trait just by adding "immortal = yes" so I assumed that was the way they did it, but I'm curious if the same effect is achievable just via a high health value.

The immortal trait makes you immortal, only thing that can kill you is by physical stuff.

At 85 years old now with her, It seems so far illness can't kill her. She has cancer and has had up to -6 health penalties.

I see no way with the way illnesses work for it to stack any higher than that. So only combat, assasination, and events can kill her.

Is she still aging physically? and can she still have more kids?

If you become immortal when you're under 45 you can still have kids

The immortal trait does more than add 10 health, it's just not in the tooltip, so even if you reach a low amount of health you won't die of any disease or natural cause. You must be assassinated, killed in battle or executed.

[Ashley]

I'm also curious what the chances of succeeding are, as I said, I save scummed, and I did it at least 20 times and got the exact same result.

immortal = {
health = 10
customizer = no
random = no
immortal = yes <---------- THIS

Taken from the game files.


An immortal character will never die from old age or disease.
So yes, they are immortal :)

[Ashley]

Is this the game files for Cleopatra? I don't know if it's the same character each time.

It's the actual trait, which is the same every time.
