Assassination Espionage Option

This mod adds a diplomatic action, to try to murder the ruler, heir or consort of other countries as well as a decision to try to murder your own ruler or heir. The AI can use these as well.

There are multiple methods you can choose from:

• Requirements:
  
  • Target is at most 10 years old
    
  • Target is not your own ruler

Fake an accident in which the target is killed

• Requirements: None

Poison some wine to kill the target

• Requirements:
  
  • Target is at least 15 years old

Poison some bread to kill the target

• Requirements: None

Lure the target into an ambush in which it is killed

• Requirements:
  
  • Target is at least 15 years old

Hire an assassin to kill the target

• Requirements: None

Bribe a guard to kill the target

Get someone at the target's court to drown it

  • Rights of Man DLC is active
    
  • Target has the personality "Greedy" or "Entrepreneur"

Bribe a priest to kill the target

Since these methods are influenced by different stuff, the chances of success differ for most methods most of the time.


Discover assassination plans
There is one diplomatic action to discover the assassination plots of other countries (category: Covert Actions), which is visible, if:

• ROOT (actor) is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• ROOT has completed the Spy Ideas
  
• Target is not a subject or a tributary state

When executed, this diplomatic action will open up an event that displays, whether the target has planned or supported an assassination. If the actor is a target of such an assassination, it's more likely for him that an event will trigger in which he can investigate the situation (may reduce the chance of success of the assassination) or ignore it (may increase the chance of success of the assassination).


Plan assassination
There is one diplomatic action to plan an assassination (category: Covert Actions), which is visible, if:

• ROOT (actor) is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• ROOT does not have a regency council (consort regency is allowed)
  
• Target is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• Target is not the target of an assassination attempt at the moment

When executed, this diplomatic action will open up an event that lets you choose the target (ruler, heir, consort) and afterwards the assassination method.
After a while you will be notified, whether the assassination was successful, unsuccessful, has been discovered or not. You may have to pay extra money after some time or you can ignore it, which will reduce the chance of success of the assassination.


Support assassination
There is one diplomatic action to support the assassination plan of another country (category: Covert Actions), which is visible, if:

• ROOT (actor) is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• ROOT does not have a regency council (consort regency is allowed)
  
• ROOT did not support or plan the assassination in the target country
  
• Target is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• Target is the target of an assassination attempt at the moment

When executed, this diplomatic action will increase the chance of success of the assassination by either 2% or 4%, depending on whether the actor has completed the Spy Ideas. Further more it will increase the opinion and trust of the country that planned the assassination with the actor.


Plan the assassination of our own ruler / heir
There is a decision to plan an assassination of your own ruler, which is visible, if:

• ROOT (country) is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• ROOT does not have a regency council (consort regency is not allowed)
  
• ROOT has not planned an assassination of its own ruler or heir at the moment

There is a decision to plan an assassination of your own heir, which is visible, if:

• ROOT (country) is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• ROOT does not have a regency council (consort regency is not allowed)
  
• ROOT has a heir
  
• ROOT has not planned an assassination of its own ruler or heir at the moment

When executed, these decisions will work similar to the "Plan assassination" diplomatic action, but different is that other countries can not support these assassinations and that there is no event to choose the target.


Train better agents
There is a decision that allows you to train better agents, which is visible, if:

• ROOT (country) is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• ROOT is not primitive
  
• ROOT has not trained better agents within the last 21 years

This will increase the base chance of success of these assassination methods by 1% each year (0%-20%): Poison some wine, Poison some bread & Hire an assassin.
This bonus will expire after 21 years.


Improve the ruler's bribery ability
There is a decision that allows you to improve your rulers bribery ability, which is visible, if:

• ROOT (country) is not a subject or a tributary state
  
• ROOT is not primitive
  
• ROOT did not improve the ruler's bribery ability already

This will increase the base chance of success of these assassination methods by 1% each year (0%-20%): Bribe a guard, Bribe a nursemaid, Drown the target, Push the target from the balcony, Bribe a harlot, Bribe a beggar & Bribe a priest.
This bonus will expire after the ruler's death.
