[Mod Request] Assassination

[2nafishisgood]

I saw the More Raiding mod and thought maybe something like this could be possible.

 

You infiltrate a settlement the enemy Lord is staying in and try to assassinate him/her in town while they are wearing civilian clothes/gears.

However, there will be guards protecting the Lord and the number and tier of the guard units will be dependant on troops currently staying in the settlement.

You only have to kill the lord and escape the settlement. The assassination attempt can lead to several results.

 

1. You killed the Lord and escaped successfully.

-The Lord is now dead and there will be no relation penalties like the one you get for executing a Lord.

-The faction of the dead Lord will increase security in their settlements for a certain time, making consecutive assassination attempts difficult.

 

2. You killed the Lord but was killed by the guards.

-You will be either captured or killed.

-The faction of the dead Lord will increase security in their settlements for a certain time, making consecutive assassination attempts difficult.

-If you were captured, the faction of the assassinated Lord will declare war on your faction if you weren't at war already.

-You receive the same relation penalties as you would have if you executed a Lord.

 

3. You couldn't kill the Lord and were killed by guards.

-Same as 2 except the Lord isn't dead.

 

4. You couldn't kill the Lord and escaped.

-The faction of the Lord you tried to assassinate will increase security in their settlements for a certain time, making consecutive assassination attempts difficult.

 

Alternatively, you could send your companion with a high roguery skill to do the job for you. Higher roguery skill will result in a better assassination chance, however, your companion now bears all the risks you would have.

Or you could try hiring a neutral wanderer to do the job for you. This will cost money, but you won't have to risk your own companion.

It would also be interesting if your enemies can send assassins after you too while you are staying in settlements.

 

I think this would give an alternative way to eliminate certain Lords without having relation penalties. It is risky, but you get away with no penalties upon successful assassination.
