I really love the depth of this game, it's amazing.

I once had a perfect heir, great attributes, a bunch of green traits, nothing red. The old king was in his seventies and my designated heir was in his early 30s - a perfect age to become a wise and beloved new ruler.

The old king passed away and this paragon of virtue succeeded to the throne. Both peasantry and nobility loved him, the clergy smiled upon the anticipated continuation of a great reign. Everything seemed perfect.

Well, until fall came. When the leaves turned golden, my glorious young king decided to host the annual royal hunt, as his father did and so his grandfather did before. On the day of the hunt, he rode out into the royal forest, being confident to bring down a majestic stag on his own.

Too bad, he ran into a big brown bear.
He got maimed and never recovered from his severe wounds. He died shortly after, having sired no heir.

His mischievous, ever-scheming uncle then took over.
End of story.
